Blending Valve
In some situations, the blending valve may be used to decrease water softness. The amount of hardness
blended back into the water line is determined by the hardness of the incoming water and the setting of the
blending valve. Where extremely hard water is present, the blending valve may only need to be “cracked” open.
Where the incoming water has relatively low levels of hardness, the blending valve will need to be opened
further.
The blending valve is located between the input and output connections on the top of the bypass valve.
See Figure 3. It is adjusted by placing a flat blade screwdriver in the slot provided and turning clockwise to
open. Total movement of the blending valve from full closed to full open is 1/4 revolution. Precise setting of the
blending valve will require “trial and error” testing. The initial setting should be conservative. Because of the
blending valve’s ease of access and adjustment, the user can increase or decrease the setting according to
their preference over a period of time.
Use of the blending valve is not recommended where objectionable concentrations of ferrous iron or sediment
are present. Because the blending valve is mixing “raw” water with softened, any ferrous iron or sediment in the
“raw” water will also be blended and reintroduced into the softened water line.
Note: If the appliance is installed for barium and/or radium reduction, the blending valve must remain in the fully
closed position at all times.
Setting and Using the Controller
The controller must be set up correctly for the appliance to perform properly.
Note: Ensure that the bottom of the controller is firmly locked onto the four tabs on the top of the drive end cap
assembly. See Figure 8.
Regenerate Button
The Regenerate button is used when starting the water filtration appliance and to start an immediate
regeneration. The Regenerate button can be used in three ways:
1.
The Regenerate button can be used to put the appliance into an immediate regeneration.
A.
Press and hold the Regenerate button for about 5 seconds until the display changes to
“Going to Backwash 1.”
B.
The appliance is in regeneration mode and will display the
status of each cycle. After all regeneration cycles are
complete, the display will return to normal operating mode.
2.
The Regenerate button can be used to quickly advance through
all of the regeneration cycles to speed up the cycles, which is
used when starting up or diagnosing the appliance only.
A.
To advance through the regeneration cycles, tap the
Regenerate button.
B.
The cycle position will display (for example, Backwash 1).
C.
Each cycle can be advanced by pressing the Regenerate
button. Always wait until the cycle position displays before
advancing to the next cycle position.
3.
Tap the Regenerate button in Normal operating mode to Figure 4: Regenerate Button
schedule a regeneration tonight or toggle it off.
