Install the control valve to the softener tank as follows.
a.
Place the top of the distribution tube (white pipe located in the tank) through the bottom center of the upper
basket cone.
b.
Then screw on the softener control valve assembly onto the tank.
HAND-TIGHTEN ONLY, DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
Note
: As you complete this installation step, the control valve will drop into a socket on the tank once the
distribution tube clears the O-ring from the bottom of the control valve. You'll feel it drop and then just hand
tighten.
HAND-TIGHTEN ONLY, DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
Do not force the screwing of the control valve. It should screw on very easily.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS OR TEFLON TAPE.
The installed O-ring was previously lubricated with a non-petroleum-based lubricant. Never use Vaseline, WD-40, etc.
NOTE ON D-TUBE CENTERING:
It is acceptable and common that the distribution tube (the white PVC pipe) in the softener
tank is not completely centered. This is acceptable, the control valve will pull it to the center as it is screwed onto the tank.
