Please consult your local plumber.
The following warnings and cautions
appear throughout this manual and
should be carefully observed.
yThis equipment is to be
installed to comply with the
local plumbing code and any
other applicable code.
yWater pressure must not
exceed 100 psig (690 kPa). To
reduce water pressure, install
a water pressure regulator and
set to suit the application.
yWhen installed on metallic
plumbing, a properly sized
electrical bonding jumper must
be installed across the inlet and
outlet pipes serving this unit.
NOTE: If the inlet water pressure is
less than 40 psig (276 kPa),
it is recommended that a
suitably-sized booster system
be installed (outlet pressure 60
psig - 100 psig max/414-kPa -
690 kPa max).
Protect from freezing
If the unit freezes during operation or
storage, irreversible damage and brittle
cracking of the housing may result.
Protect from direct sunlight or other
UV sources
Avoid long-term exposure to direct
sunlight or other UV sources. The unit
should be stored in a dark location.
Protect from high temperatures or
abrupt variation in temperature
The maximum operating temperature is
100°F (38°C). Avoid abrupt variations in
temperature. Any temperature variation
should be made slowly.
Protect from rough handling or
dropping
Mechanical damage, external breakage,
and/or internal breakage of the lter
can result if the system is dropped or
bumped. Handle with care at all times
during transportation and installation.
Protect from organic solvents and
concentrated acids
Prevent any and all contact of the system
with strong solvents, solvents containing
chlorine, or concentrated acids. Do NOT
use strong solvents or concentrated
acids on any plastic parts of the lter
system. Examples of some solvents
to avoid: acetone, methyl acetate (nail
polish remover); hexane (spot removers);
turpentine, toluene (paint thinners); dry
cleaning solutions, insecticides.
Protect from abrasive material
The system must be protected from
abrasive materials like shavings left in
a pipe. Abrasive materials in contact
with the system can cause irreversible
damage. All pipes must be ushed clean
before installing the lter. All plastic parts
of the lter system must be protected
from sharp objects like knives, sand
paper, or other tools. Cutting or nicking
a plastic part can weaken it and cause a
leak. Do NOT use abrasive cleansers on
any plastic parts.
Protect from water hammer
The system must be protected from
shock, pressure surges, or pulsation
that may occur inside water pipes.
Water hammer occurs in pipes when a
valve or faucet shuts quickly. Install a
water hammer arrestor (pressure vessel
containing compressed air separated
from the water by a diaphragm) to reduce
pressure shock.

These water softener systems have been tested by the WQA and conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for specic performance claims as
veried and substantiated by test data. The rated salt e󰀩ciencies above were also determined in accordance with NSF/ANSI
44 and are only valid at the salt dosage referenced above. An e󰀩ciency rated water softener is a demand initiated regeneration
(DIR) softener which also complies with specic performance specications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine
and water used in its operation. E󰀩ciency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt e󰀩ciency of not less that 3350 grains in
total hardness exchanged per pound of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams of total hardness exchanged per kilogram
of salt), and shall not deliver more salt that its listed rating. The rated e󰀩ciency of the water softener, the salt dosage at that ef-
ciency, the capacity at the salt dosage and that of the e󰀩ciency is only valid at the stated salt dosage. E󰀩ciency is measured by
a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible e󰀩ciency the system can achieve. Op-
erational e󰀩ciency is the actual e󰀩ciency achieved after the system has been installed. It is typically less that the e󰀩ciency due
to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminates that reduce the water softener’s
capacity. These systems are not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Refer to the system Installation and Service Manuals for set-up and
programming instructions.
Contact your local dealer for parts and service. See your Owner’s Manual for warranty information.

Equipment Setup
General
When placing the system into service, pay
attention to the following guidelines:
yDO NOT immerse cord or
power plug in water.
yKeep cord away from
heated systems.
Electrical
The line voltage must match the voltage
on the specication label. The plug on the
power cord must match the appropriate
outlet. DO NOT connect the system to a
switched electrical outlet.
Plumbing
NOTE: The system must be connected
to the COLD water line. DO NOT
connect the system to the hot
water line.
The softener system uses the following
connections:
1. Locate the softener resin tank and
brine tank on a clean, level, rm
surface. Remember that the tank,
when lled with water, will weigh
over 200 lbs.
NOTE: If the surface is not level, make
sure to level it with a non-cor-
rosive material. Wood shims
are not recommended as they
could deteriorate over time.
2. If you prefer to keep your outside
taps unsoftened, you will need to
install bypass lines for unsoftened
hard water to the outside taps.
3. Install the top distributor basket to
the control head.
4. Lubricate the tank o-ring and
distributor o-ring using silicone
lubricant.
5. Attach the control head to the
resin tank by screwing it onto the
top of the tank. Do NOT use any
thread or pipe sealant on the tank
threads. The control head seals
when the o-ring is fully engaged.

RESIDENTIAL WATER SOFTENER
Drain Connection
The drain is for regenerating the softener
resin and for ushing particle buildup out
of the system during operation.
1. Apply pipe thread tape to threads
of the drain tting and attach the
drain tting to the control head at
the drain port. Do NOT overtighten
the tting into the control head.
2. Attach the 1/2” ID drain hose to
the barb of the drain tting, and
secure with a hose clamp.
3. Measure a su󰀩cient length of
hose from the drain outlet tting to
the drain.
When connecting the drain hose, pay
attention to the following guidelines:
yThe drain line plumbing must
be able support the ow rate
when the system regenerates.
yThe drain line leading out of
the system must be as short as
possible and slope downwards
without any kinks or loops.
yThe drain line plumbing must
be positioned and secured at
least 2 inches above the drain
(Figure 3). This air gap protects
the system from contamination in
the event of a backed-up drain.
yThe drain used must not be
blocked or restricted.
yThe drain used must be as large or
larger than the drain line plumbing.
yThe drain line from the
system should be secured at
the drain using appropriate
mounting hardware.
4. Attach 3/8” OD brine tank tubing
to the control head using the brass
nut and sleeve provided. Do NOT
overtighten the brass nut.
5. Attach the other end of the brine
tank tubing to the brine tank oat
valve using the supplied nut and
sleeves.
OPTION: If desired, connect the brine
tank overow hose from the
overow tting to the oor
drain.
6. Attach Hi-Flo bypass valve to the
control head.
7. Attach the plastic yoke to the
bypass valve.
8. Turn o󰀨 main water supply.
9. Remove a section of existing pipe
where the softener is going to
be installed. The pipe removed
should be large enough to allow
the ttings needed to connect to
the softener system.
10. Make sure to verify the inlet and
outlet water ow directions on the
softener and the existing plumbing
before making connections.
11. Connect the incoming untreated
water to the valve inlet. Connect
the outlet water connection to the
rest of the home plumbing.
12. Attach inlet and outlet ttings to
the plastic yoke. The yoke has 1”
NPT male threads. Use pipe tape
and/or pipe dope on the threads.
Use a backup wrench when mak-
ing pipe connections. Do NOT
overtighten ttings onto the plastic
yoke.
NOTE: Make sure that local plumbing
codes are followed when mak-
ing connections.
13. Before proceeding, make sure the
bypass valve is in bypass position.
Bypass position is when the valve
handles are across (perpendicular
to) the valve bodies.
14. Turn on the main water supply and
check all new ttings for leaks.
15. Secure the power transformer on
the power cord to the wall or other
location to remove the weight of
the transformer from the cord.
16. Remove the lid of the brine tank
and ll the brine tank with softener

the Extra Cycle button to lock in
the time and resume normal op-
eration. The unit will also return to
normal operation after 5 seconds if
no buttons are pressed.
Placing the System into
Service
1. After the time of day is set, open
the bypass valve. The open posi-
tion is when the valve handles are
in line with (parallel to) the valve
bodies.
2. Check for leaks at all connections
on the softener control head.
3. Activate a manual regeneration
by pressing and holding the extra
cycle button for 5 seconds. Air and
water will come out of the softener
drain line and water will ll the salt
brine tank.

approximately an hour to
complete.
4. After the regeneration is complete,
the system is operational.
Operation Check
1. Make sure the water supply to the
softener is on.
2. Proper hardness reduction can be
checked by measuring a sample
of the outlet water for hardness.
3. Collect a water sample from any
tap leading from the softener
system. Run the water for several
minutes to make sure soft water is
at the tap.
4. Measure the hardness using any
test that measures total hardness.

P/N 1011598 Rev. A 11/20 9
RESIDENTIAL WATER SOFTENER
Maintenance
Every Week
Checking Salt Levels
NOTE: Abrasive ‘hard’ water contains
high levels of calcium and
magnesium, causing lime scale
buildup and interfering with
the steamer’s ability to operate
correctly.
1. Remove the lid of the brine tank.
2. Check the level of the salt in the
brine tank. It is recommended that
the brine tank should be lled at
least half-full with salt. The salt
should measure at least 3 inches
above the water level.
3. Break up any salt bridges. Salt
can form a solid layer or “bridge” in
the brine tank. Break up any solid
layers that have formed until the
salt moves freely. This will ensure
that the salt mixes properly with the
water in the brine tank.
NOTE: For stubborn salt layers, warm
water may be added to help
break up solid pieces of salt.
4. Replace the brine tank lid when
nished.
5. Once the salt brine tank has been
lled, a manual regeneration can
be activated if necessary. Press
and hold the extra cycle button
for 5 seconds to start a manual
regeneration.
6. After the regeneration is complete,
the system is operational.
NOTE: The regeneration will take
approximately an hour to
complete.
Every Month
Check Clock Time
The clock should be checked monthly to
make sure the local time is set properly.
1. Look at softener display and check
that displayed time is the same as
local time.
2. If time is incorrect, adjust the time by
following the programming steps in
the Installation section.
Every Six Months
Check Hardness Reduction
The hardness reduction should be
checked every 6 months. Use any test
strips or tester that measures Total
Hardness.
If Total Hardness coming from the
softener system is not less than 1 grain
per gallon (gpg), contact the factory for
more information.
Every Three Years
Cleaning the Salt Brine Tank
1. Unplug the power supply for the
softener.
2. Remove the lid of the brine tank.
3. Disconnect all plumbing connections
to the brine tank and empty the brine
tank. Siphon or dump all water out of
the tank, then dump out the salt and
throw it away.
NOTE: Dissolve blocks or bridges of
salt with hot water if needed.
4. Scrub with soapy water. Mix a
generous amount of dish soap into
one or two gallons (4-8 liters) of
water. Pour it into the tank and scrub
the entire interior with a brush.
5. Rinse the tank. Dump out the soapy
water and rinse with plain water.
6. Replace the brine tank in the
enclosure and reconnect all
plumbing connections to the brine
tank.
7. Fill the brine tank with salt.
8. Once the brine tank has been
lled with salt, activate a manual
regeneration by pressing and holding
the extra cycle button for 5 seconds.
NOTE: The regeneration will take
approximately an hour to
complete.
Every Five Years
Replacing the Softener Resin
Tank
Consult the factory for replacement of the
resin tank.
After a Power Failure
Power Loss
The clock should be checked after a
power loss to the softener system.
1. Look at softener display and check
that displayed time is the same as
local time.
2. If time is incorrect, adjust the time by
following the programming steps in
the Installation section.
