Inspection
The Pro Elite system is shipped with several parts
unassembled. When parts are removed from the packing,
they should be inspected for damage. If any parts are
damaged or missing, contact your supplier.
WARNING: When handling the media
tank do not turn it upside down or drop
on its side.
When the carton is first opened, the softener will be
standing upright. The salt tank will be turned over and
covering the softener (Figure 3).

To assemble the system, remove the salt tank
components (cover, collar, base and brine tube assembly)
from the shipping container. The media tank can now be
removed. Locate the miscellaneous parts bag.
To assemble the Salt Tank:
1. If the floor under the salt tank is uneven, the leveling
feet may be installed. Lay the empty salt tank on its
side. Press or tap the feet into the pockets.
2. Stand the salt tank up and in position. Level as needed.
The tank has two ports that will be connected. One to
a drain and one to the valve.
3. Place the brine tube in position inside the pocket at
the bottom of the tank. Install the overflow fitting.
4. Place the tank collar over the top of the brine tube.
Position the collar and push it down into the tank. Lay
the cover aside for now.
To Assemble the Media Tank:
1. If the floor under the media tank is uneven, the
leveling feet may be installed. Slowly lay the tank on its
side. Press or tap the feet into the pockets.
WARNING: The media tank contains
loose particles that will shift. If the tank is
turned upside down or laid back quickly,
the particles may enter the valve. If
this happens, the valve may need to be
disassembled and cleaned.
2. Stand the tank up and in position. Level as needed.
3. Remove cover by pressing in on the latch and lifting
cover (Figure 4). When the cover is removed, the valve
is visible. Remove the power adapter. They should
be secured to the tank collar near the inlet/outlet
connections.

Tank and Probe Assembly
The probes are preinstalled to the media tank. The probes
are located behind an access panel on the jacket of the
media tank. To remove the access panel, remove the four
screws and washers.
Use only 100% silicone lubricant on the probe O-rings
(Figure 5). Do not allow the lubricant to come into contact
with the probe pins. Install the probe assemblies into the
tank and secure with the locking clasp (Figure 6).
Important: The pins on the probes will only fit into the
bulkhead fittings one way. The pins must go into the
matching holes at the bottom of the fitting. The probe with
the shortest length of wire must be on top.
Install the protective shield (Figure 6 ).
Note: Do not attempt to tighten or loosen the Bulkhead
fittings, as they are secured with a locking adhesive.
