4.   Attach the bypass valve to the control valve. Connect the 

inlet  and  outlet  of  the  water  softener  to  the  plumbing  in 
the  house.  The  control  valve  must  not  be  subjected  to 
temperatures  above  71°C  (160°F).  To  avoid  damaging 
the control valve when sweat fittings are used, solder the 
threaded  copper  adapters  to  the  copper  pipe  and  then, 
using  teflon  tape,  screw  the  assembly  into  the  bypass 
valve. 

CAUTION -

do not use pipe thread compound as it may 

attack the material in the valve body.

5.   Using teflon tape, screw the 1/2” hose barb into the drain

port in the valve. Attach 1/2” drain hose to the hose barb 
and  tighten  securely  with  a  hose  clamp.  Run  the  drain

6.   On the twin tank units, pull the 3/8” brine line through the 

hole in the side of the brine tank. Connect the brine line 
to  the  fitting  on  the  side  of  the  valve  using  the  nut  and

ferrule. Tighten snugly. 

7.   Make sure the bypass valve is in the service position. 

8.   Set the time of day and the program wheel according to the instructions on page 4. 

9.   Remove back cover plate. Make sure that the salt dosage is set as recommended on page 5. 

NOTE: The various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the large knob on the front of the control 
clockwise, until the indicator shows the desired position. 

10.  Turn the large knob to the backwash position. Turn on the water supply to the valve and wait until water starts running 

at the drain. Allow the water to run at the drain for 2 to 3 minutes. 

11.  Turn the knob advancing the valve to the brine and rinse position. Allow the water to run at the drain for a further 2 to 

3 minutes. Using the same procedure, turn the knob to rapid rinse position and allow to run for a few minutes. 

12.  Plug the conditioner in. Manually turn the knob to the start of the brine refill position. The correct amount of water will 

be  automatically  metered  through  the  air  check  tube  in  the  brine  well  into  the  brine  tank,  and  the  control  will 
automatically return to the service position. The service position is indicated by the word SERVICE on the front dial. 

13.  Replace back cover on the control module. 

14.  Put a minimum of 40 kg of crystal water softener salt in the brine tank. The unit will automatically fill to the correct level 

when it regenerates. 

Optional Sanitization Procedure: 

We recommend that all new water conditioners be disinfected as part of the startup. 

Sanitization is achieved by the application of chlorine in the regeneration cycle of the conditioner. A liquid solution of 5.25% 
sodium  hypochlorite  (commonly  referred  to  as  household  bleach)  is  recommended  as  a  suitable  disinfectant.  Use  only 
unscented  products.  For  every  cubic  foot  of  resin  in  the  softener,  pour  approximately  two  (2)  tablespoons  of  sodium 
hypochlorite into the brine well tube. The brine tank refill in Step 12 should add the correct amount of water to the brine 
tank.  If  not,  the  water  can  be  added  manually  now.  Press  and  hold  the  EXTRA  CYCLE  button  to  begin  a  manual 
regeneration. Press the EXTRA CYCLE button again to advance the valve to the Brine/Rinse position. Allow softener to 
complete  the  Brine/Rinse  cycle,  then  let  the  manual  regeneration  continue  until  the  brine  tank  is  refilled  again  with  the 
correct amount of water. 

ALL STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODES GOVERNING INSTALLATION OF THESE DEVICES MUST BE OBSERVED.
