Maintenance
With minimal care, your system is designed to serve you for many years. While constant attention to
your system is not necessary, the following suggestions will insure your system’s performance and your
convenience and satisfaction.
MaInTenanCe
• Salt in the brine tank is used as a resin ‘cleaner’ to remove contaminants during the regeneration process.
Check the salt level of the brine tank on a regular basis to make sure your system is using salt. Your
system will function properly whether the salt tank is near full or near empty, refill when necessary.
• Use only premium-grade regenerant salt that is designed specifically for use with water softeners and
conditioners. Sodium (NaCl) salt may be used. Potassium (KCl) is recommended in most applications for
superior taste, odor, aesthetic and environmental benefits.
serVICe Issues
• If the
Triton control valve
system display does not appear, check to make sure the system is plugged in
and that there is power at the receptacle. If the unit does not respond with power present, contact your
WaterTech Dealer.
• The
manual bypass valve
(which is located at the rear of the unit) is designed to isolate the unit from the
plumbing for servicing or to shut off the water supply to the unit in the event of a leak at the conditioner.
Consult the operating diagram on pages 11-12 of this manual for instructions to position your bypass
valve for either service or isolation.
• If you experience an
extended power outage
(over an hour in length), you may need to reset the time of
day on the Triton control valve. The internal battery is designed to retain the time of day for up to 24
hours. There is no need to reset any other part of the program as this is kept in non-volatile, permanent
memory. Consult the programming instructions on page 10 of this manual for instructions to set the
electronic time clock of the Triton control valve.
• If you experience a
change in water quality
:
1. First check to see if your brine tank is empty (see above). If necessary, add regenerant salt.
2. Check to see if your system has power (see above).
3. Check to see if your system is in bypass (see Bypass Illustrations)
4. Check to see if the drain line has a kink that may be restricting flow during regeneration. Correct, if
necessary, or contact your WaterTech Dealer.
5. Place system in manual regeneration (see Displays and Programming)
6. Contact your local WaterTech Dealer
