• Do not use vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or
spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used
on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of
lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
• Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps
because of o-ring seals.
• The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”.
Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or a drain length in
excess of 20’ requires 1” drain line.
1. Place the conditioner where you want to install it, making
sure it is on a clean, level and firm base.
2. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet and
drain line to drain).
3. A jumper ground wire should be installed between the
inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic continuity of
a water distribution piping system is interrupted. Install
jumper ground wire on metal pipes.
4. The drain connection is made using either 3/4” or 1” female
adapter. (See figure 6a) If soldering, joints near the drain
must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control
fitting. Leave at least 6” between the drain line control fitting
and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected
on the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could cause
interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting.
5. The brine refill flow control assembly is installed in an easy
to access refill elbow located on top of the control valve.
The refill flow control assembly is attached to the control
valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow
to rotate 270 degrees so the outlet can be orientated towards
the brine tank.
6. Connect the brine line found in the brine tank to the brine
connection on the control valve. The control valve has a
standard refill elbow which a 1/2” flexible tube can be con-
nected, see figure 6a. Both elbows use the same refill flow
control and retainer. Do not connect the other end of the
brine line to the safety brine valve in the brine tank at this
time. Make sure the floor is clean beneath the salt tank and
that it is level and smooth.
7. A 1/2” (inside diameter) gravity drain line should be connected
to the overflow elbow on the side of the brine tank and run to
a drain below the level of the elbow. This overflow drainage
system provides protection from water damage in the event
of a brine shut-off malfunction. Tubing is not provided to
do this.
In all cases where an overflow could result in water dam-
age for various reasons, this overflow protection must be
used. Do not connect the tubing to the drain line on the
control valve discharge line and do not run this line above
the overflow elbow height at any point. Provide air gap.

GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The control valve and ttings are not designed to support the weight of the system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black
o-rings but is not necessary.
HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE, GASOLINE, ETC., MAY DAMAGE PRODUCTS THAT
CONTAIN O-RINGS OR PLASTIC COMPONENTS. EXPOSURE TO SUCH HYDROCARBONS MAY CAUSE THE
PRODUCTS TO LEAK. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT(S) CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT ON WATER SUPPLIES
THAT CONTAIN HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE, GASOLINE, ETC.
THIS WATER METER SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE PRIMARY MONITORING DEVICE FOR CRITICAL OR
HEALTH EFFECT APPLICATIONS
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Te on tape is recommended to be used on all threads. Use of pipe dope may
break down the plastics in the control valve.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
• The plug-in Power adapter is for dry locations only
• The tanks should be on a rm, level surface
• Electrical: Use an uninterrupted outlet installed within 15 feet (4.57 meters) of the water conditioner.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes.
1. Locate the water conditioner so the distance between the drain and the water conditioner is as short as possible.
2. Regenerant tanks that must be re lled should be located where they are easily accessible. It is recommended a safety brine valve
be used.
3. Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater.
4. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and over ow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures
under 40° F (4° C).
5. The use of resin cleaners in an unvented enclosure is not recommended.
6. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb
to the unit’s inlet located at the left front as you face the unit. Installation of a bypass valve is recommended. If using plastic ttings
ground the water conditioner per local electric codes. If a water meter is used, install the water meter on the outlet side of the control
valve. It is recommended that the meter assembly be installed horizontally or in a down ow vertical position to reduce turbine
bearing wear. The turbine assembly may be orientated in any direction, but is usually orientated pointing up to reduce drainage out
of the pipes during service. Remove the cover and drive bracket and thread the water meter cord through the hole in the back plate.
Reinstall the drive bracket. Weave the cord through the hooks on the right hand side of the drive bracket and connect the end to the
three prong connector labeled METER on the printed circuit board. Replace the cover.
7. Drain: Verify that the drain can handle the backwash rate of the water conditioner. Correctly size the drain line and install an
appropriately sized drain line ow control. For 1.5 & 2L valves an adapter tting is supplied with a valve that can connect to a ¾”
tting that can be used with drain line ow controls up to 10 gpm, or an optional 1” tting that can be used with drain line ow
controls up to 25 gpm. If necessary the adapter can be removed and the 1 1/4” NPT threaded drain outlet may be used. For 2"
valves the drain outlet is 1.5" NPT threads. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line ow control
tting. Leave at least 6” (152.4 mm) between the drain line ow control tting and solder joints to prevent heat from damaging the
ow control. Avoid elevating the drain line above the control valve where possible. Discharge the drain line through an air gap to a
receptacle in accordance with local plumbing codes.
