How To Get The Maximum
Efficiency From Your Appliance
1. Fill salt cabinet when water level is above salt level.
DO NOT MIX
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SALT.
If iron is present in your water, use
a salt with an iron-cleaning additive to help keep the resin clean.
You may also use a resin cleaner on a monthly basis in place of
salt with cleaning additives. If iron is not present in your water, a
clean pellet, solar or cube type salt is recommended. The use of
rock salt is not recommended because it contains impurities that
may clog the injector assembly.
2. You may use a salt substitute (such as potassium chloride) in
place of water conditioner salt. If you start with water conditioner
salt, you can switch to a salt substitute at any time - or vice versa.
If potassium chloride is used in place of nugget or pellet salt,
you must select the potassium option during the program-
ming of the controller. We do not recommend using Potas-
sium Chloride if there is iron in your water.
3. Should your electricity be turned off for any reason you must reset
time of day. (See Page 6)
4. Protect your appliance from freezing, including drain line.
5. By-pass the appliance when servicing the well, plumbing, or
pump. When work is completed, turn on the nearest cold water
tap until water runs clear before putting appliance back in service.
See Figures 4 - 5 - 6.
Checklist Before Installation
1.
Water Pressure -
Not less than 20 psi constant. See Page 19.
2.
Double check hardness -
of water with test strips provided to
verify that your appliance is right for the job. See Page 4.
3.
Water Supply Flow Rate
- 5 gallons per minute is recommended
as minimum.
4.
Drain -
Drain appliance to floor drain or washer drain. To prevent
back-siphoning, the installer must provide an adequate air gap or
a siphon break. See Figure 1.
5.
Electricity -
The transformer supplied is a standard 120 volt, 60
cycle A.C. for North America or 220 volt, 50 cycle A.C. for out-
side the North America. See Figure 8.
6.
Water Quality -
If water supply contains sulfur, bacteria, iron
bacteria, tannins, algae, oil, acid, dirt, sand or other unusual sub-
stances, special equipment must be installed prior to the appli-
ance.
Do’s and Don’ts
SOME DO’S
1. Do comply with all local plumbing and electrical codes.
2. Do install pressure-reducing valve if inlet pressure exceeds 90psi.
3. Do install gravity drain on salt storage cabinet.
See Figure 7.
4. Do secure drain line on appliance and at drain outlet.
See Figure 3.
5. Do allow a minimum of 8 to 10 feet of pipe from the outlet of the
water conditioner to the inlet of the water heater.
See Figure 1.
SOME DON’TS
1. Do not install if checklist items are not satisfactory.
2. Do not install if incoming or outlet piping water temperature
exceeds 120°F (48.8°C).
Please see specifications on Page 19.
3. Do not allow soldering torch heat to be transferred to valve com-
ponents or plastic parts.
4. Do not overtighten plastic fittings.
5. Do not place appliance right up against a wall which would deny
access to plumbing. See Figure 1.
6. Do not install the appliance backwards. Follow arrows on inlet/
outlet. See Figure 2.
7. Do not plug the transformer into an outlet that is activated by an
on/off switch. See Figure 8.
8. Do not connect the drain and the overflow (gravity drain) together.
See Figure 1.
