at the outlet of the drain line is advisable to keep the drain line full and assure correct flow during regeneration.
Elbows or other fittings must be kept at a bare minimum.
NOTE :
Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20 foot in length, 3 / 4” I.D. drain line tubing
should be used. A hose clamp (optional, not included) can be used to secure drain line tubing to drain barb.
– Brine Line and Overflow Connection –
1. Position brine tank on a smooth level surface near the softener resin tank. If necessary, the brine tank can be placed
at a higher level than the resin tank, but
never at a lower level.
2.
Install one end of 3 / 8” O.D. by 1 / 4” I.D. brine line tubing (included with unit) to compression fitting located on right
side of control valve.
3. Remove brine tank cover or salt compartment lid.
4. Remove cap from brine well.
5. Insert opposite end of brine line through outer hole in brine tank.
6. Connect brine line to compression fitting on safety brine valve located inside brine well.
7.
Install 1 / 2” I.D. drain line 90 elbow on outside of brine tank.
8. Run the opposite end of brine tank drain line to a suitable drain.
NOTE :
The brine tank drain line is gravity flow and must discharge below the overflow fitting.
CAUTION :
DO NOT “TEE” to the main drain line from control valve.
NOTE :
The brine overflow is provided as a back up in the event the safety float shut-off should fail, allowing the brine
tank to overfill. This drain connection would then carry the excess water to the drain and prevent flooding of the
floor. Therefore, no liability will or can be assumed by the manufacturer of the softener should this occur.
– Electrical Connection –
1. Plug the cord from the control valve into a standard 115 volt / 60 Hz receptacle.
NOTE :
DO NOT
plug into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull chain that could inadvertently be turned off.
2. For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3-prong plug and should be plugged into a grounded receptacle. If the
receptacle is designed only to accept 2-prong plugs, obtain a 3-prong adapter and secure the ground wire to the
receptacle plate mounting screw.
WARNING : DO NOT remove grounding plug! An improperly grounded unit could cause injury from electrical
shock!
– Pressurizing The System –
1. The control valve
must be in the SERVICE position!
The word SERVICE is imprinted in the notch on the manual
regeneration knob.
WARNING : NEVER turn regeneration knob counter clockwise as this will cause damage to the control valve!
2. Slowly rotate handle of the bypass valve to the SERVICE position.
3. Open the nearest faucet to evacuate air from plumbing lines.
4. Check for leaks!
– Control Valve Operation –
Each control valve position can be manually selected by rotating the regeneration knob CLOCKWISE
until the desired position appears in the knob notch.
1. Manually index regeneration knob to
BACKWASH
position and allow water to run to drain for 3-4 minutes or until
clear.
2. Manually index regeneration knob to
BRINE REFILL
position and allow the brine tank to fill just over the salt grid
plate.
3. Manually index regeneration knob to
BRINE & RINSE
position and allow the control valve to draw water from the
brine tank until the water stops flowing.
4. Manually index regeneration knob to
BRINE REFILL
position and allow softener to refill brine tank. The valve will
return to the SERVICE position when finished.
