INSPECTION, RESIN LOADING AND ASSEMBLY
Commercial water softeners are shipped in multiple cartons:
- mineral tank with bottom distributor and riser pipe
- brine tank assembly
- control valve with meter
- optional alternator valve or no hard water bypass valve
- bag(s) of gravel support bed (for 21" diameter and larger mineral tanks)
- 1 cubic foot bags of water softener resin
Quantity of components are specific for the individual type softening system ordered. Refer to specification
data sheet and/or drawing or consult factory.
Inspect the shipping cartons and equipment for possible shipping damage or lost parts. If damage is present,
notify the transportation company. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage or lost parts in shipment.
Do not mistakenly discard any small parts bags when unpacking the system.
BEFORE LOADING THE MINERAL TANK WITH GRAVEL FOLLOWED BY RESIN,
INSPECT THE BOTTOM LATERALS FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED DURING SHIPPING.
THE LATERALS MUST BE REPLACED IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE.
LOADING AND ASSEMBLING THE MINERAL TANK:
1. Place the mineral tank where you want to install it, making sure it is
on a clean, level and firm surface.
2. PLUG OR TAPE THE TOP OF THE RISER PIPE to keep gravel
and resin from entering. Gravel and resin must not enter riser pipe.
3. BEFORE LOADING THE GRAVEL AND RESIN, FILL THE
MINERAL TANK APPROXIMATELY 1/3 FULL OF WATER.
The water will act as a cushion to protect the bottom laterals from
damage while filling the tank with gravel and resin.
4. Using a U1007 commercial tank funnel is recommended (funnel is
ordered separately). The U1007 funnel snaps into 4" and 6"
mineral tank openings for stability when pouring gravel and resin.
The neck of the funnel allows air to escape the mineral tank while
gravel and resin are poured in.
5. Load the gravel support bed first, followed by the resin. While filling,
be careful to keep the riser pipe centered as best you can. The resin
beads tend to stick to the funnel. Filling slowly with a small scoop
to pour the resin into the funnel, using water SPARINGLY to speed
flow through the funnel, will work better than trying to fill too fast.
6. After the loading is complete, remove the funnel, clean the tank
opening to remove resin beads from the tank opening. Note that the
resin will only fill the mineral tank approximately 1/2 to 3/4 full. The
mineral tank should NEVER be filled to the top with resin. This
remaining open space is called freeboard and is necessary for the
resin to have room to move during the backwash cycle.
7. REMOVE THE PLUG OR TAPE FROM THE TOP OF THE RISER
PIPE.
8. FINISH FILLING THE MINERAL TANK WITH WATER. This will
eliminate air space and prevent excessive air-head pressure when
the water softener is pressurized.
9. The control valve must now be screwed onto the mineral tank.
Be sure the mineral tank's o-ring sealing surface is clean. NO pipe
dope should be used on threads. As you start to screw the control
valve onto the tank, make sure the hole in the center of the control
valve fits over the riser pipe. The control valve should be hand-
tightened, snugly, clockwise.

If your control valve is a top or side-
mount clamp connection, or uses a flange base, consult factory if
you have questions.
