LoadingtheMedia
1. Place tank on a level, solid surface in the correct position for installation. Lift the riser tube
from the tank, keeping the attached hub within the opening of the tank. Within the tank,
assemble the laterals onto the hub, twisting each lateral into the hub to lock securely.
Gently lower the assembly to the bottom of the tank. The top of the riser tube should be
about level with the top of the tank.
2. The “riser tube” inside the media/resin tank delivers treated water to your control valve. It
will need to be temporarily covered with tape on the top end to prevent anything from falling
down inside the tube during loading.
3. Step back and look at the tank to make sure it is standing straight, and not tilted. The black
base on the bottom of the tank should also be straightened before filling the tank. If your
tank is tilted, simply pick up the tank 2-3 inches off the floor and drop it gently (but firmly)
down, favoring the side of the base that needs to be adjusted.
4. Before loading the media, fill the tank with 2-3 feet of water (or 1/3 full, depending on the
tank size), to soften the fall of the rocks and prevent damage to the distributor. To load the
media, use a funnel in the top of the media tank with the riser tube still inside. Make sure
the riser tube is covered with tape to keep media out.
5. Scoop the media into the funnel, slowly letting it fall down inside the media tank around the
riser tube. Fill the tank with the media provided, pouring the media in the following order
(1stwill end up on the bottom of the tank, last will end up at the top of the tank, etc.). Note:
The tank will be approximately ½ - ⅔full after loading is complete. Refer to Table 2 for the
proper quantities of each media.
I. Gravel – YMGRVL11618 – 1 CF (100 lbs.) per bag
II. Gravel ¼” × ⅛” – YMGRVL1418 – 0.5 CF (50 lbs) per bag (not used in W-G2162EM)
III. YMC1240RCOAL – 1 CF (27.5 lbs.) per bag
6. Remove the funnel from the top of the tank, and the tape from the end of the riser tube.
Brush any loose media or resin off the top opening of the tank.
7. The bottom of the control valve has an opening with O-rings inside; lubricate the O-ring with a non-petroleum based
lubricant. Position the valve over the top of the media tank, making sure the top of the riser tube inserts inside the
opening in the bottom of the valve.
8. Screw the valve down into the media tank. Another person should hold the tank as the valve is being snugly tightened
onto the tank. Do not over-tighten. Tighten until snug, tighten a bit more, then STOP. The large o-ring will seal itself.

Plumbing
Note: All plumbing is to be done in accordance with state and local codes.
Caution: Before placing wall anchors to support piping ensure that no electrical conduit or wiring is located
behind the intended mounting location.
Note: 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.
Note: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb them
to the unit’s inlet. Installation of a bypass valve is recommended. If using plastic fittings, ground the water
conditioner per local electrical codes. If a water meter is used, install the water meter on the outlet side of the
control valve. The turbine assembly may be oriented in any direction, but is usually oriented pointing up to reduce
drainage out of the pipe during service.
Note: Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Use teflon tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain
fittings.
1. Install connecting piping between raw
water source and input pipe on control
valve.
2. Install drain line from control valve to
a free flowing drain.
A 1.25” Male NPT × 1.5” Female NPT SS
drain flow control is installed on the valve.
Solder joints near the drain must be done
prior to connecting the drain line flow
control fitting. Leave at least 6”
(152.4mm) between the drain line flow
control itting and the solder joints to
prevent heat from damaging the flow
control. Avoid elevating the drain line
above the control valve where possible.
Discharge the drain line through an air
gap to a receptacle in accordance with
local plumbing codes.
Important: Never insert a drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or trap. Always allow an air gap between
the drain line and the receptacle to prevent back siphonage.
3. Install the water meter on the outlet side of the control valve.
The meter may be threaded directly into the valve or may be
plumbed separately downstream of the unit*. Ensure the arrow on
the meter body is going the same direction as the water flow. The
turbine assembly may be oriented in any direction, but is usually
oriented pointing up to reduce drainage out of the pipe during
service. Meter can be installed horizontally or vertically.
*A longer cable (Part #V3221) is required for distances longer than 3” from
the valve body.

4. Connect the meter cable: Remove the valve cover
and strain relief cover on rear of valve. Bring meter
cable through the knockout hole in the back of the
valve and connect to the three-pin connection labeled
“METER” on the PC board. Weave the meter cable
through the strain relief and replace the cover and
fastening screw.
Ensure meter cable is connected to the meter
assembly. See “Meter Service Instructions” in the
“Control Valve Service Instructions” section of this
manual for detailed meter disassembly and
reassembly instructions.
5. Install piping between meter output and point of use.

General Warnings & Site Requirements
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.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or
spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on
black o-rings but is not necessary
Hydrocarbons such as kerosene, benzene, gasoline, etc., may
damage products that contain o-rings or plastic components.
Exposure to such hydrocarbons may cause the products to leak.
Do not use the product(s) contained in this document on water
supplies that contain hydrocarbons such as kerosene, benzene,
gasoline, etc.
Teflon tape is recommended to be used on all threads. Do
not use pipe dope, as it may break down the plastics in the control
valves.
The plug in power adapter is for dry locations only, and should
be connected to an uninterrupted outlet installed within 15 feet
(4.57 meters) of the water conditioner.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting
the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the
drain line control fitting and solder joints when soldering 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.
Plug into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections
must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the outlet
is uninterrupted.) Install grounding strap on metal pipes.
After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive
assembly or the drive cap assembly and pistons unplug power
source jack from the printed circuit board (black wire) and plug
back in or press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3
seconds. The cover button may have other names like “SET
HOUR”, “CLOCK” or “SET CLOCK” but the circuit board is labeled
with SET. This resets the electronics and establishes the service
piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the
software version and then reset the valve to the service position.
Control Valve General Features and Information
This fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a downflow
regeneration filter. The control valve included with this system is equipped with a meter and can be set to regenerate on
demand (consumption of a predetermined amount of water) and/or as a time clock (passage of a particular number of
days).
The injector regulates the flow of brine or other regenerants. The control valve regulates the flow rates for backwashing,
rinsing, and the replenishing of treated water into a regenerant tank.
The control valve uses no traditional fasteners (e.g. screws); instead clips, threaded caps and nuts and snap type latches
are used. Caps and nuts only need to be firmly hand tightened because radial seals are used. Tools required to service
the valve include one small blade screw driver, one large blade screw driver, pliers and a pair of hands. A plastic wrench
is available which eliminates the need for screwdrivers and pliers. Disassembly for servicing takes much less time than
com parable products currently on the market. Control valve installation is made easy because the distributor tube can be
cut ½” above to ½” below the top of tank thread. The distributor tube is held in place by an o-ring seal and the control
valve also has a bayonet lock feature for upper distributor baskets.
The AC adapter comes with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter is for dry
location use only. The control valve maintains timekeeping for up to 8 hours if the power goes out and the battery is not
depleted. After 8 hours, the only item that needs to be reset is the time of day; valve status and programming are
permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory. If a power loss lasts less than 8 hours and the time flashes on and off, the
time of day should be reset and the non-rechargeable battery should be replaced.
Configuring and Programming Control Valve Options
The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modified to suit the needs of the installation.
User Displays
Configuration Settings
Cycle Times Settings (for Regeneration)

Installer Display Settings
Diagnostics
These procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided below and on the
following pages.
At the discretion of the installer, the end user can access all settings. To “lock out” access to programming settings, press
the key sequence: ▲, NEXT, REGEN, ▼. When locked, the valve can be unlocked by pressing the same key sequence.

is not used.
Selection requires that a connection to a Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made to the two pin connector labeled
ALTERNATOR DRIVE located on the printed circuit board. The C port of the MAV must be connected to the valve inlet
and the A port connected to the separate source used during regeneration. The B port must be connected to the feed
water supply.
When set to SEPS the MAV will be driven closed before the first regeneration cycle, and be driven open after the last
regeneration cycle.
Note: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the MAV will remain in its current state until the error is
corrected and reset.
Configuring the Control Valve for Use of an Outside Signal to Initiate Regeneration
Select the desired option in step 6CS.
Selection only matters if a connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on the printed circuit
board. Following is an explanation of the options:
oFF – Feature not used.
on0 – If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes an immediate regeneration will be signaled
to the unit.
dELy – If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will occur at the scheduled delayed regeneration time of day.
HoLd – If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will be prevented from occurring while there is a switch closure.
