INSTALLATION continued
11.
Install salt storage tank overflow line to salt tank elbow and
then run overlfow drain line to drain. DO NOT CONNECT
VALVE DRAIN LINE AND OVERFLOW DRAIN LINES
TOGETHER BY TEEING.
12. Pressure Test the Installation: The plumbing installation can
now be checked for possible leaks. Open the main water
supply valve and hot and cold water faucets. When all air
is purged from system, close faucets. Check system for
leaks over the next hour. Any leaks should be corrected
immediately.
CAUTION:
Do not reheat fittings with conditioner connected
to plumbing.
13. Plug in transformer.
14. Drain Water Heater: You can now drain the hard water
from the water heater. Let it drain until the water is
cold, then shut off the drain and RELIGHT PILOT. (See
manufacturer’s instructions).
15. Make sure that the Bypass is left in the “IN SERV” position
after installation.
16. Proceed with System Startup.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
If at all possible, locate the softener for optimum drain line
conditions as follows:
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, do not place
electrical equipment or electrical cords over or
near the drain.
CAUTION:
When running the drain line to a floor drain the
area around the drain may become wet during
the regeneration process. Keep floor drain area
clean at all times to prevent any damage.
NOTE: Some states and/or counties have restrictions when
connecting the drain line to your septic system. Check
with your local authorities first.
• Drain line should be as short as possible.
•
If available, a floor drain or sump drain is most desirable.
• An elevated drain installation requires precautions as
detailed under Special Drain Line Situations below.
Typical Drain Hookups (Figure 6)
• Floor drain in basement or utility room. (Holes in drain
cover MUST be kept open.)
• Sump pit. (Sump must NOT discharge to surface watering
of lawn, shrubs, trees, etc.)
• Dry well (if legal).
• Laundry tub or clothes washer drain.
• Sanitary sewer line with sink type trap.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS continued
Drain Adapter (Figure 7)
A drain adapter should be use to accommodate 1/2” tubing
drain line material.
On tube or hose drain line, use a hose clamp to secure drain
line to barbed fitting. Also, select a firm hose that will not
soften and collapse or kink at high temperature, at suspension
points or at sharp bends. Plumbing codes do not permit a
direct connection into any sanitary or storm drain. An air gap
of at least 5cm is usually required so sewer backup will not
contaminate the system. Clamp the drain line securely to a rigid
surface to prevent it from moving during regeneration. Entire
drain system must be able to handle maximum regeneration
flow of 19 l/min. Drain should not be elevated more than
1.5 m a bove the control valve. If conditions mandate that the
drain must be higher, see discussion of special drain situations
below.
Figure 7
Special Drain Line Situations
On some installations it may be necessary to have the drain
line rise more than 1.5 m above the control valve. Explained
below are special modifications for improving performance
under these adverse conditions.
Figure 8
In cases where drain line empties into an “overhead” sewer
line, a “sink” type trap must be used. Do not connect or seal
drain line to trap. Secure drain line to provide an air gap or use
an air gap device.

SYSTEM START-UP
Setting the Timer - Typical Residential Application To program,
set the time, set the hardness and the meter automatically
monitors system needs and regenerates only when necessary.
NOTE: During shipping the cable from the back of the timer
to the meter assembly may have been disconnected.
If it has, insert the end of the cable into the top of the
meter assembly.
Setting the Time of Day
1. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the
programming icon replaces the service icon and the
parameter display reads DO.
2. Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons.
3. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button
to resume normal operation. The unit will also return to
normal operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
User Programming Mode Steps
1.
Press the Up and Down buttons for five seconds while in
service, and the time of day is NOT set to 12:01 PM.
2. Use this display to adjust the Day Override. This option
setting is identified by “DO” in the upper left hand corner of
the screen.
3. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the
Regeneration Time. This option setting is identified by “RT”
in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
4. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the
Feed Water Hardness (°tH).This option setting is identified
by “H” in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Use
the hardness Kit included in the softener to set up this
parameter
Range: 1-199 (°tH) hardness
5. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the
Fixed Reserve Capacity. This option setting is identified by
“RC” or “SF” in the upper left-hand Corner of the screen.
6. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to set the
Current Day of the Week. This option setting is identified by
“CD” in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
7. Press the Extra Cycle button to end User Programming
Mode.
