OPERATING CONDITIONS
Your water conditioner has been designed to adequately
handle up to 100 grains per gallon of hardness as well as up to
2 ppm of Ferrous Bicarbonate Iron. This is ironthat is dissolved
in an oxygen-free water supply. It is not visible to the eye in a
freshly drawn sample because the water appears clear. But upon
standing in contact with air, theferrous iron will become oxidized
totheferric state and start to precipitate as a reddish brown floc.
It can then be seen and if allowed to remain in the supply will
cause discolored water. In order for your conditioner to remove
the iron, air (oxygen) must be kept from coming in contact with
2
water until after it has been passed through the water conditioner.
In some cases, additional equipment may be required to treat
water supplies having special characteristics, such as: oxidized
iron, iron bacteria, low pH, taste and odors, etc. If any question
should exist, contact your dealer.
This conditioner is not intended to be used for treating water
that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.

SOFT WATER BASICS
Hardness
Excess amounts of calcium and magnesium in water produce
hardness. A water softener removes the majority of calcium and
magnesium to produce softened water.
Hardness is measured in terms of grains. (This grain weight
is derived from the average weight of a dry grain of wheat.)
When your water is tested the grain hardness is calculated and
expressed as grains per gallon (gpg). This calculation, as well
as the number of people in your household will help determine
what type and size of water softener will most efficiently soften
your water.
Your water softener contains an ion exchange
media (sometimes called resin) which removes the hardness from
water as it flows through the softener tank. Eventually so much
hardness collects on the exchange media that the softener can no
longer soften water. At this point it is considered "exhausted".
Regeneration is now necessary.
Regeneration
To regenerate the exchange media, it must be rinsed with a
brine (salt) solution. This removes the hardness from the exchange
media and replaces it with sodium. The exchange media is then
ready to remove hardness from water. The hardness minerals
and excess brine solution are rinsed down the drain.
During the regeneration cycle the softener is also
backwashed. This reversing of the normal flow of water serves to
remove sediment which may have accumulated during the
softening process due to the filtering action of the exchange media.
Backwashing also loosens and fluffs up the bed of exchange
media to insure that during regeneration the brine solution will
come into contact with all the media. Figure 1
Maintenance of Your Softener
Salt: Salt to a softener is what gasoline is to a car. Not only must a softener have salt, but it should be the proper type to insure
efficient recharging of the unit. Ask your rep what type of salt may best suit your needs. Always have an adequate supply of salt on
hand. Check the salt level of your salt keeper periodically. Fill the tank approximately three-fourths full, with a minimum of 12” of salt.
Maintenance: Annual Clean and Check is required for this unit for proper operation. This will ensure that your water softener will provide
you and yourfamily the safest and softest water possible.
REMEMBER: Salt is the fuel to run your water softener. Buy the best clean salt available.
FRENQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Do I still use the same amount of soap in the dishwasher and clothes washer and showers now that I have a water softener?
No, the Water Quality Association states soft water can save up to 55% on detergent use. Start with using half the amount of detergent
previously used, this can be adjusted up or down based on preference. Soft water helps fabrics last longer, because hardness minerals
combined with soap can make fabric fibers brittle.
2. What is the health impact of drinking soft water? The sodium added to water by a softening is a non-issue most of the time, even for
people on a sodium-restricted diet. One could soften up to 75 grains per gallon water with sodium chloride and still be well within the US
Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines for a “Low Sodium” beverage. People on a sodium-restricted diet should consult their physician.
3. Should I use soft water for my plants? Some plants may be sensitive to even minute amounts of sodium. Suggest using hard water for
watering plants, often a kitchen cold faucet is plumbed for hard water or the outside faucets are usually plumbed for hard water. If not, you
can place your softener on bypass and fill water containers at the closest sink. Water from a reverse osmosis system can always be used
to water plants.
4. Will water spots disappear now that I have soft water? Water spots caused by hardness scale will disappear with a functioning water
softener. However, other natural minerals dissolved in the water may cause spotting in high enough concentrations. These mineral spots
will bemuch easier to wipe away comparedto hardness spotting.
5. Will soft water cause my water or ice cubes to look or taste different? Most people can tell the difference in taste between hard and soft
water, it is a personal preference. Ice cubes will appear the same, they may look cloudy due to air in water or dissolved minerals, and this will
not change because they are made with softened water. A reverse osmosis drinking water system will provide clearer ice cubes.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
Water Pressure: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure
(psi) is required for regeneration. Maximum 120 psi.
Water Quality: On rural water supplies there is often a problem
with sand or sediment in the water. (This problem occasionally
occurs in public water supplies.) If the water is not filtered before
being softened, the sand and sediment will plug up the water
softener restricting the flow through the resin bed. This problem
often requires rebedding of the mineral tank. Note: Well and/or
pump problems affecting the operation of the softener are
repairs that are not covered under warranty. To prevent these
unnecessary, and expensive repairs that arenot covered under
warranty, Angel Water, Inc. recommends installing an in-line
filter
system ahead of softeners.
Electrical: A continuous 110 volt 60 cycle current supply is
required. Make certain the current supply is uninterrupted and
cannot be turned off with another switch. All electrical connec-
tions must be connected per local codes. Surge protection is
recommended with all electronic controls.
Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing must be
free from lime and iron build-up. Piping that is built-up heavily
with lime and/or iron must be replaced. If piping is blocked with
iron, additional equipment must be installed ahead of the water
conditioner to correct the problem.
Drain Line: The conditioner should be located close to a drain.
Avoid overhead drain lines if possible to prevent back pressure
on the brine injector. Overhead drains are not to exceed 8 feet
above the floor and no more than 20 feet in length. The pipe
size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”. Backwash
flow rates in excess of 10 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require
1” drain line. Verify connection to sanitary waste system is
through proper air gap.
Bypass Valves: Always provide for the installation of a bypass
valve.
Softening: It is recommended that the conditioner be installed
to soften both the hot and cold water supply. A separate hard
water faucet may be plumbed for drinking purposes if you desire.
Outside faucets should be left on hard water.
Caution: Water temperature is not to exceed 110°F; the condi-
tioner cannot be subject to freezing conditions, or to a vacuum
due to loss of pressure (such as a water main break).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
• Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or
spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used
on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of
lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
• Donot use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Onlyteflon
tapemay be used on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary on
the nut connection or caps because of radial o-ring seals.
• The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”.
Backwash flow rates in excess of 10 gpm or length in excess
of 20’ require 1” drain line.
1. Place the conditioner where you want to install it, making
sure it is on a clean, level and firm base.
2. Doall necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet and
drain line to drain). The control valve, fittings and/or bypass
are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments
but are not designed to support the weight of a system or
the plumbing.
3. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and
outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and
then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering
or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ringor o-ring.
Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be
set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid get-
ting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings,
split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
4. A jumper ground wire may be installed between the
inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic continuity of
a water distribution piping system is interrupted.
5. The drain connection may be made using either 5/8” polytube
(See figure 6a, page 5) or a 3/4” female adaper. If soldering,
joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the
Drain

drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the
drain line controlfitting andsolder joints whensoldering pipes
that are connected on the drain line control fitting. Failure
to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line flow
control fitting.
6. The brine refill flow control assembly is installed in an easy
to access refill elbow located on top of the control valve. The
refill flow control assembly is attached to the control valve
with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow to rotate
270 degrees so the outlet can be orientatedtowards the salt
keeper.
7. Connect the brine line found in the salt keeper to the brine
connection on the control valve. The control valve has a
standard refill elbow to which a 3/8” flexible tube can be
connected, see figure 6a, page 5. (An optional elbow can be
ordered which accommodates a 1/2” flexible tube for a high
regenerant draw rate situation). Both elbows use the same
refill flow control and retainer. Do not connect the other end
of the brine line to the safety brine valve in the salt keeper
at this time. Make sure the floor is clean beneath the salt
tank and that it is level and smooth. No grid is required with
standard brine tank as softener is programming as prefill.
8. A 1/2” (inside diameter) gravity drain line should be connected
to the overflow elbow on the side of the brine tank and run to
a drain below the level of the elbow. This overflow drainage
system provides protection from water damage in the event of a
brine shut-off malfunction. Tubing is not provided to do this.
In all cases where an overflow could result in water dam-
age for various reasons, this overflow protection must be
used. Do not connect the tubing to the drain line on the
control valve discharge line and do not run this line above
the overflow elbow height at any point. Provide air gap.

PROGRAMMING
General Information
The Angel Water, Inc. Series 100 control valve is the “brain” of your
water softener. It consists of the valve body and powerhead with
solid state microprocessor.
Thedisplay panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LED display,
power light, and five push buttons which are used in displaying
and programming the water softener settings.
Figure 7
INITIAL START UP
The initial start up will probably be done by the technician install-
ing the softener system. If not, the following instructions will step
you through the process.
1. Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain
line and brine line. Do not add salt at this time.
2. Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See
figure 3 page 4) Turn on the main water supply. Open
a cold soft water faucet to flush the piping of any air
and/or foreign material. Run until the water is clear.
3. Manually add 6 inches of water to the salt keeper.
4. Now plug the transformer into a110-volt receptacle. (Be
certaintheoutletis uninterrupted.) Within 5seconds the
control will automatically align itself into the softening
mode and the display will flash 12:00 (AM). (Figure 7,
page 6).
5. Set the time of day (figure 8, page 7).
6. Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds.
The system will advance to the “Fill” position. (Note:
If the system is not programmed as “brine refill first”,
“Backwash” will display first). Keep pushing REGEN
button until “Rinse” shows in the lower right hand corner
of display. Slowly place the by-pass into the “diagnostic
mode” (see fig 4, page 4). Run water to the drain until
it runs clear. Return the by-pass valve to the by-pass
position (fig 3, page 4). Push REGEN button one more
time, “Time” will appear in upper left hand corner of
display.
7. Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for
3 seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back-
wash” appears. Slowly place the by-pass valve into the
6
“Diagnostic Mode” 1/2 way. Allow water to slowly fill
the mineral tank. When a solid stream of water starts
coming out of the drain line, open the by-pass inlet
valve all the way and allow to run out the drain until
water clears. Then slowly place the by-pass into the
“normal operation” mode by opening the outlet side of
by-pass valve, figure 2, page 4.
8. Press the regen button one more time. LED display
should say “BRINE”. Loosen the brine line from the
top of the safety brine valve in the brine tank. Place
finger over the end of the tube to check for suction. If
no suction, see trouble-shooting guide. (See #11, Page
11) If proper suction, reattach brine tube to safety brine
valve, and allow it to draw water down to the bottom of
the air check, (figure 6b, page 5).
9. Press REGEN button once again. LED will once again
display “BACKWASH”. Keep in backwash until water
once again runs clear at the drain.
10. Press REGEN button again. LED will display “RINSE”.
Allow rinse cycle to run its full circle. While the rinse
cycleis finishing, this would be a good time to load your
brine tank with salt. The brine tank does not require
a grid because softener is programmed to fill brine
tank with appropriate volume of water 2 hours prior to
regeneration.
11. Once the rinse cycle has finished the softener control
will return to the softening cycle. The LED screen will
indicate “TIME”.
12. Next set your softeners water hardness, days override
and regeneration time settings (see figure 9, page 7).
Your programming is now complete.

Step 1 - Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Step 2 - Hardness: Set the amount of total compensated hardness in grains
(hardness as calcium carbonate) per gallon using or buttons. The default is
20 with value ranges from 1 to 150in 1 grain increments. Note: The grains per
gallon should be increased if soluble iron needs to be reduced. Add3 grains of
hardness for each ppm of iron present. If this display shows nA -, then system is
either set-up in “time clock” or “filter” modes. (See table 6, page 19). Press
NEXT to go to Step 3. Press REGEN to exit Installer Displays/Settings.
Step 3 - Day Override: This sets the number of days between regenerations. If
value set to “oFF” regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If value is
set as a number (allowable range from 1 to 28) a regeneration initiation will be
called for on that day even if sufficient number of gallons were not used to call for
a regeneration. Set Day Override using or buttons:
• number of days between regeneration (1 to 28); or
• “oFF”
NOTE: If softener is set up as a time clock system (ie: not meter initiated) this
value will be the days between regenerations.
See table 6, page 19, for more detail on softener setup. Press NEXT to go to
step 4. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
Step 4 - Next Regeneration Time (hour): Set the hour of day for regenera-
tion using or buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12. The default time is 2:00
a.m. This display will show “REGEN” on 0 GAL if system is set for immediate
regeneration. See table 6, page 19. Press NEXT to go to step 5. Press REGEN
to return to previous step.
Step 5 - Next Regeneration Time (minutes): Set the minutes of day for regen-
eration using or buttons. This display will not be shown if system is set for
immediate regeneration. Press NEXT to exit Installer Displays/Settings. Press
REGEN to return to previous step.

USER DISPLAYS/SETTINGS
General Operation
When the system is operating one of two displays
will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate be-
tween the displays. One of the displays is always
the current time of day. The second display is
gallons remaining. This is the number of gallons
that will be treated before the system goes through
a regeneration cycle. The user can scroll between
the displays as desired.
If softener is a time clock system, the number of
days remaining untilthe next regeneration will be
displayed instead of gallons remaining.
If the system has called for aregeneration that will
occur at the preset timeof regeneration, thewords
“REGEN TODAY” will appear on the display.
When water is being treated (i.e. water is flow-
ing through the system) the word “SOFTENING” Figure 10
flashes on the display.
Regeneration Mode
Typically a systemis set to regenerate at a time of lowwater usage. An example of
a time withlow water usage is when the household is asleep. If there is a demand
for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be supplied.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include informa-
tion about the step of theregeneration process and the time remaining for that step
to be completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset
itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.
Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the
system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a
period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time,
press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash on the
display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed
regeneration time. If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing
the button again will cancel the request.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN”
button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The
request cannot be cancelled. You must cycle all the way through the cycles to
make it stop. PLEASE NOTE: This will reset the meter.
Note: If the salt keeper does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two
hours before regenerating.

WATER SOFTENER DISINFECTION
The materials of construction of your water softener will not
support bacterial growth nor will these materials contaminate a
water supply. However, the normal conditions existing dur-
ing shipping, storage, and installation indicate the advisability of
disinfecting a softener after installation, before the softener is
used to treat potable water. In addition, during normal use a
softener may become fouled with organic matter or in some
cases, with bacteria from the water supply.
Therefore, every water softener should be disinfected after
installation, some will require periodic disinfection during their
normal life. Disinfect as follows:
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE (household bleach)
5.25% SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE solutions are available
under such trade names such as Clorox, Linco, Bo Peep,
White Sail and Eagle Brand Bleach. If stronger solutions are
used, such as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust
the dosage accordingly.
1. Dosage:
a. Softening resin; 1.2 fluid ounce per cubic foot of
mineral (see page 18).
2. Add the required amount of hypochlorite solution to the
brine well of the brine tank.
a. Proceed with the normal regeneration. Press regen
and allow the water softener to go through a normal
regeneration.
WATER SOFTENER DRAINING PROCEDURE
In cold weather climates it is common for plumbing systems that are
not in use to be “winterized“ or drained of all water to prevent any
damage that may be caused by the excessive expansion of water
when it freezes. To prevent damage to a water softener it must be
properly drained also. A simple way to properly drain or winterize
a water softener is to use compressed air to force all of the water
out of the softener mineral tank. The following procedure will explain
the process:
1) Initiate the softener into a manual regeneration cycle. After the
refill cycle, advance control to backwash and allow it to complete
the backwash cycle (this will clean the media) and start into the
brine-draw cycle. Allowthe regeneration tocontinue in the brine
draw cycle until the brine is drawn out of the salt tank and the air
check at the bottom of the brine pick-up tube shuts off. NOTE:
Be sure you have salt in the brine tank and allow 1 hour
minimum to make a saturated brine. It is important that any
liquid left in the softener tank when you finished blowing out
system be saturated brine solution to prevent any damage
to the softener. At this time no more brine is introduced into
the softener and the slow rinse process begins.
2) Turn the water supply inlet and outlet valves off to the water
softener as soon as the air check shuts off and no more brine is
being drawn into the softener (at the beginning of the slow
rinse process).
3) Unplug the electric power leaving the softener control valve in
the brine draw cycle.
4) Remove the brine refill elbow assembly from the control valve.
Remove the refill flow control retainer assembly from the elbow.
Reinstall the elbow assembly and secure with the locking clip.
Disconnect the brine tube at the top of thesalt keeper and force
air into the brine tube toward the softener mineral tank and control
valve. The air will force the brine/water solution that was drawn
into the mineral tank out to drain through the control valve drain
line. (An air compressor blow gun attachment with a portable
air compressor works well.) Reinstall the brine line flow control
retainer in side ofthe refill elbow assembly. Reinstall the brine
refill elbow assembly and secure with locking clip.
CAUTION: You do not want to apply any more pressure than
necessary to force the brine/water out of the mineral tank.
The small amount of brine/water that may be left in the mineral
tank will not expand enough to cause any damage to the softener
when it freezes.
If your softener is equipped with an optional bottom drain on the
mineral tank, you will have to follow all of the same procedures
with the exception of the need for compressed air. With the
brine tube disconnected from the salt keeper, raise it to a level
above the softener control valve and temporarily secure it in this
position. Now open the drain valve at the bottom of the mineral
tank and allow all brine/water to drain from the mineral tank.
CAUTION: If a hose is connected to the drain valveto direct the
brine/water to a floor drain be sure it runs downward and is unob-
structed. When brine/water quits running at the drain, be sure
to
leave the drain valve open until you start the system up again.
5) At this time the salt keeper has very little water left in it. What
liquid is left in the salt keeper is saturated brine, provided that
there is still salt left in the tank. Saturated brine will not freeze
solid and cause any damage and does not have to be drained
any further from the brine tank.
If there is no salt left in the salt keeper when the system is drained
we recommend dumping all of the water out of the brine tank
at this time. See brine tank cleaning instructions. (#2 in Miscel-
laneous section, below)
6) CAUTION: It is important at this time to be assured that the inlet/
outlet water supply piping is properly drained. Depending on how
the water supply piping was routed to the water softener control
valve, a water loop or trap may have been created.
Sometimes drain valve(s) are installed at the bottom of the loop
to assure all water can be drained out. If not it may be neces-
sary to disconnect the control valve from the piping system and
open the inlet/outlet valve(s) to allow all the water to drain from
the piping. This should be done after the rest of the plumbing
system is drained.
7) Draining or winterizing of your softener is complete. Refer to the
start-up procedures on page 6 when you are ready to start your
softener.
