1. Place the softener 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). The control valve, fittings and/or
bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignments but are not designed to support the weight
of a system or the plumbing.
3. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet
and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system
first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat
from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut,
split ring or o-ring. Solder joint should be cool and solvent
cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring
and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on
any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control
valve.
4. 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 grounding strap on metal pipes.
5. The drain connection may be made using either 5/8”
polytube (see below) or a 3/4” female adapter. The
polytube insert is shipped attached to the drain line
elbow’s locking clip. Press the insert into the drain line
tubing (tubing not provided). Loosen the nut of the drain
line elbow. Press the 5/8” polytube with insert into the
drain line elbow until it seats on the back of the fitting.
Tighten the nut. 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. Never
insert a drain line into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always
allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater
to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned
into the softener.
6. 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 oriented
towards the brine tank.
7. Connect the brine line polytubing found with the brine
tank to the brine connection on the control valve. The
control valve has a standard refill elbow to which a 3/8”
flexible tube can be connected, see
below. Press the
polytube into the brine elbow fitting. Make sure the floor
is clean beneath the brine tank and that it is level and
smooth.
8. A 1/2” (inside diameter, not provided) gravity drain line
should be connected to the overflow fitting on the side of
the brine tank. This overflow is in case of a malfunction in
the brine shut off. If the unit is installed where water may
flow in the event of an overflow and cause water damage,
connect a length of flexible tubing and run to a drain below
the level of the overflow.
(Do not connect the tubing to
the drain line on the control valve. Do not run tubing
above overflow height at any point.)
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
