Description of the water softener system
This water softener system includes a brine (salt) tank and a resin (media) tank with a backwashing control
valve. Incoming water flows into the control valve and is directed down through the ion exchange softening
resin. This resin exchanges the hardness ions for softer ions. The softened water then returns to the control
valve where it is directed into the service lines.
Periodically the control valve will go through a regeneration cycle. The frequency of this regeneration process
will depend on the size of water softener, incoming water quality and amount of water used. This cycle is
factory preset to begin at 2:00 A.M. At this time the control valve will draw the brine solution out of the salt tank
and flush both the accumulated hardness and excess salt to the drain. The control valve will then put fresh
water back into the salt tank to make brine for the next regeneration cycle.
Water Quality
The water should be tested to determine the concentration, or levels of the items listed below:
Hardness - Hardness in drinking water is defined as those minerals that dissolve in water having a
positive electrical charge (cat ions). The primary components of hardness are calcium (Ca++) and
magnesium (Mg++) ions. But dissolved iron (Fe++) and manganese (Mn++) also contribute to total
“adjusted” hardness.Hardness produces scale, soap scum and white mineral deposits which shorten
the life of water using appliances, plumbing and fixtures. Water that has less than 1 grain of hardness is
considered to be “soft” water.
pH - A measurement of the acidity of the water. pH is reported on a scale from 0 to 14. Neutral water has a pH
of 7.0, lower values indicate acidic water. If your pH is below 6.8 you may consider installing an acid neutralizer
before the water softener to elevate the pH.
Iron - A naturally occurring metallic element. Iron levels in excess of 0.3 milligrams/liter (mg/l) combine with
oxygen causing orange or red (rust) stains on plumbing fixtures. Iron exists in some water sources in clear
water (ferrous) state, red water (ferric) state or bacterial form. Iron levels that exceed 2.0 mg/l require special
ion exchange resin for reduction, or if bacterial or ferric (red water) iron is present or iron level exceeds 4.0 mg/l,
an iron filter should be installed ahead of this water softener.
Manganese - A naturally occurring metallic element. Manganese levels as low as 0.05 milligrams/liter (mg/l)
can combine with oxygen to cause dark brown or black staining on fixtures. Additionally, manganese can cause
an odor in the water similar to a “rotten egg” smell. This water softener may reduce manganese as well as iron;
however, an iron filter may be required in some cases.
Tannin - A naturally occurring humic acid. Tannin is caused by water passing through decaying vegetation.
Coffee and Tea are prime examples of tannin in water. Tannin levels as low as 0.5 milligrams per liter can
cause a yellow discoloration in water. Consult your dealer for a system designed to remove both tannin and
hardness.
Hydrogen Sulfide - A naturally occurring gas. Hydrogen sulfide, more commonly referred to as sulfur gas,
causes a distinct odor similar to “rotten eggs.” Due to its gaseous nature, hydrogen sulfide must be tested at the
well site within 1 minute of drawing the sample. If sulfur is present additional equipment will be required. The
O3 iron filter can typically treat up to 2 milligrams per liter of sulfur gas.

Location Considerations
The proper location to install the water softener system will ensure optimum performance and satisfactory water
quality. The following factors should be considered in selecting the location of the equipment.
1. The water softener should be installed after the pressure tank on a private well system or after the
water meter on municipal water. Operating pressure of the softener must be limited to within 30 –
100 psi range.
2. The water softener should be installed as close as possible (preferably within 15’) to an adequate
floor or laundry drain capable of handling the backwash cycle volume and flow rate (refer to unit
specifications).
3. All water conditioning equipment should be installed prior to the water heater. Water temperatures
exceeding 100°F can damage the internal components of the control valve and filter tank. Install
with at least 10’ of pipe before the water heater to prevent thermal damage to the equipment. An
expansion tank may need to be installed in the line to the water heater in order to allow for thermal
expansion and comply with local plumbing codes.
4. The water softener should not be subject to freezing temperatures.
5. Ensure that any cartridge or in-line type filter installed prior to the water softener does not restrict
the water flow and pressure available for backwash and interfere with normal operation.
6. Appliances requiring extended periods of continuous or high flow water use (i.e. geothermal heat
pumps, swimming pools, lawn irrigation, outside hose bibs, etc.) should bypass the water softener.
(see installation diagram Fig. 1).

STEP 1: Carefully remove all components from packaging. DO NOT DISCARD PACKAGING until all
water softener components and fittings have been located.
STEP 2: Use clips and screws provided and attach bypass valve to the inlet/outlet of the control valve.
See figure 2 below.
IMPORTANT: Mechanical metered (FM) units require the installer to insert the meter cable into the top
of the meter module.
STEP 3: Place unit at desired installation position. DO NOT plug into electrical outlet at this time
(see STEP 10 on page 6). DO NOT put salt into brine tank at this time (see STEP 16 on
page 6).
STEP 4: Shut off water at main supply. Relieve pressure by opening nearest faucet. On private well
systems, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank. SHUT OFF POWER OR FUEL
SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER.
STEP 5: Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to inlet and outlet of bypass valve. DO NOT
PLUMB INLET AND OUTLET BACKWARDS. Piping should be supported. Do not apply
heat to any fitting attached to the bypass or control valve.
STEP 6: Use polyethylene drain line tubing provided (NO VINYL TUBING) to run drain line from control
valve discharge fitting to floor drain or sump pit capable of handling the backwash rate of the
softener (refer to specifications and flow rate on page 15). DISCHARGE END OF THE
DRAIN LINE MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED! There must be an air gap at the end of the
drain line to prevent siphoning of waste water and meet plumbing code. Total length of drain
line should be 15’ or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.

STEP 7: Connect one end of the provided 3/8” brine line to the control valve quick connect fitting. Insert
the other end of the brine line through the hole in the brine tank and into the quick connect
fitting on the safety brine valve. Remove the quick connect collet retainer clip (if included)
before inserting the brine line into each fitting, press the tube in very firmly and replace the
retainer clip behind the collet. NOTE: THE BRINE TUBING SHOULD BE INSERTED 5/8”
INTO THE FITTING. DO NOT PUT SALT INTO THE BRINE TANK AT THIS TIME.
STEP 8: Install overflow tubing from overflow elbow on brine tank to floor drain. Tubing must be lower
than overflow elbow at all times. DO NOT CONNECT DRAIN LINE FROM SOFTENER
CONTROL VALVE TO BRINE TANK OVERFLOW. DO NOT CONECT BRINE TANK
DRAIN LINE TO THE SOFTENER DRAIN LINE.
STEP 9: Place bypass valve in the “Bypass” position (refer to Figures 4 below). Open main supply
valve or turn on power to pump on private well systems.

STEP 10: For all models except FE Series, plug the softener into an unswitched electrical outlet and
slowly rotate the Manual Regeneration Knob (see Fig. 5, page 7 or Fig. 6, page 10) clockwise
until two clicks are heard. This is the “BACKWASH” position.
For the FE Series, plug the transformer into an un-switched electrical outlet and attach the
power cord into the control valve. Then press and hold down the center “ADVANCE” button
until “GO TO BW” appears on the screen (see Fig. 8, page 12). Wait until the valve reaches
the backwash position before going to STEP 11 (a countdown timer will appear on the
display).
STEP 11: Unplug the softener from the electrical outlet to keep it in the backwash position.
Refer to Figure 4 (page 5) for appropriate bypass valve operation. Rotate bypass lever of
stainless steel bypass ¼ of the way to “Service” allowing unit to fill slowly. You should hear
water trickling into the mineral tank. Filling the mineral tank in this position will force any
trapped air to the drain. When all air has been purged from the system and only water is
running to the drain, slowly open the bypass valve fully to the service position.
STEP 12: Add enough water to the brine tank to a level approximately 1” above the top level of the
salt grid.
STEP 13: Plug the softener back into the electrical outlet.
For all models except FE Series, slowly rotate the Manual Regeneration Knob
clockwise until two clicks are heard. This is the “BRINE DRAW” position. Verify that the
water level in the brine tank is dropping. Allow water level to drop below the top level of
the salt grid before continuing. If the water level does not drop, refer to page 25 for
Troubleshooting. Otherwise, advance the control valve to the “FAST RINSE” position by
continuing to rotate the knob clockwise until seven more clicks are heard. Allow the
softener to complete the remainder of the regeneration cycles automatically which
includes “BRINE REFILL” to put water into the brine tank.
For the FE Series, press the center “ADVANCE” button briefly and the control valve will go to
the “BRINE DRAW” position (“GO TO DR” will display). Once the cycle countdown begins,
verify that the water level in the brine tank is dropping. Allow water level to drop below the salt
grid before continuing. If the water level does not drop, refer to page 26 of Troubleshooting.
Otherwise, advance the control valve to the “BRINE REFILL” cycle by continuing to press the
“ADVANCE” button briefly each time a cycle countdown begins until the “GO TO BR” is
displayed. Allow the softener to complete the “BRINE REFILL” cycle automatically to put
water into the brine tank.
STEP 14: Check for leaks and correctas necessary.
STEP 15: Turn on power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 16: Set the current time of day on the timer (note AM and PM) (refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 6 or Fig. 8,
depending on the model number).
STEP 17: Set the regeneration frequency (refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, or Fig. 8 depending on the model
number).
STEP 18: Fill the brine tank with salt.

How to set Time of Day:
1. Press and hold the red button to disengage the 24 hour gear.
2. Turn the large 24 hour gear until the actual time of day is at the time of day arrow.
3. Release the red button to again engage the 24 hour gear.
How to set the Days of Regeneration:
Calculate the Adjusted Hardness by multiplying the iron concentration (ppm) by 3, the manganese
concentration (ppm) by 5 and adding to the water hardness test results (grains).
Example: Hardness = 25gpg (grains per gallon)
Iron = 1.0 ppm (parts per million)
Manganese = 0.2 ppm (parts per million)
Adjusted Hardness = 29 gpg [25 + (3 x 1.0) + (5 x 0.2)]
25 + 3 + 1 = 29
1. Refer tothe appropriate table for your water softener model number (pages 8and 9) to determine
how many TIMES in a 12 day cycle the softener should regenerate. If the adjusted hardness falls
between two numbers on the chart always use the higher number (never round down).
Example: Water Softener Model FS30
3 people in family
Adjusted hardness 29 gpg
Result: Set softener to regenerate 4 TIMES in 12-day cycle (once every 3 days)
2. Rotate the skipper wheel until the number 1 is at the red pointer. Each number represents a day.
The number by the red pointer is tonight.
3. Slide the metal tabs outward on the desired days of regeneration.
How to Manually Initiate a Regeneration Cycle:
1. Grab the manual regeneration knob and turn clockwise SLIGHTLY. The drive gear will engage the
backwash knob which will make a complete revolution and return to the “Service” position after the
regeneration cycle.
