RECEIVING AND INSPECTION Secon 1.1
Be sure to check the enre shipment for any shipping damage or lost parts. Note any
damage to shipping cartons. All skids are fully shrink wrapped at the factory. Note if any
skids are missing shrink wrap. If damage is present, nofy the transport company
immediately. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage or loss in transit.
Note: Do not discard any small parts. To avoid loss of small parts, keep them in the parts
bag unl you are ready to use them. Thoroughly check all boxes & cartons to ensure there
are no small parts tucked inside.
Major Components Secon 1.2
Note: all external piping, drain lines, isolaon valves, sample points, etc., are supplied by
others.
-All soener systems will include the following:
-One electronic 105 control valve with color display.
(Note any loose parts in the valve shipping box such
as adapters, couplers clips, external ow controls,
etc.).
-One berglass media tank c/w internal hub & lateral
distribuon. Please note the distribuon may already
be installed inside the tank. If the distribuon has
already been installed, it must be closely inspected to
ensure it was not damaged in shipping. If the
distribuon is cracked or broken, it must be repaired
before proceeding. (For more details see secon 10.1
& 10.2).
-One media bed (For more details and quanes see
secon 5)

PLANS FOR LOCATION AND INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS OF SYSTEM Secon 3.1
- WATER SUPPLY: The system requires a potable water supply that will provide a connu-
ous ow to meet regeneraon ow specicaons. A minimum pressure of 30 psi is required
at the condioner inlet. It is suggested that a Y type strainer be installed on the outlet of
the system to prevent media geng out into the system should a distribuon be
compromised.
- BOTH HOT AND COLD WATER CONDITIONING: Connect the system to the water supply
pipe, immediately aer (downstream) the municipal supply water meter or well supply
pressure tank. To provide uncondioned water to isolated faucets, if desired, run separate
pipes from the water supply before the condioner.
- CONDITIONING HOT WATER ONLY: Connect the system to the water supply pipe before
(upstream) the water heater.
CAUTIONS:
- Do not install the condioner aer, or downstream from the water heater. Hot water will
damage inner parts of the system, and may cause the loss of the water condioner
mineral bed. This will void the system warranty.
- To reduce the risk of hot water backing-up, into the condioner, piping between the
condioner and water heater should be as long as possible. A backow preventer or check
valve is also recommended between the condioner and the hot water heater.
- DRAIN: An open drain is needed nearby the condioner, capable of carrying away
backwash water at the rate of ow listed in the specicaons. An open oor drain is
preferred. Other approved open drain points are acceptable, if they do not cause a
back-pressure on the condioner drain pipe or hose. An open oor drain is also required for
the overow on the salt tank. All drain connecons MUST have a proper air gap.
- ELECTRICAL: The system works on 24 AC volts only. A direct plug-in transformer is
included to reduce 120 V-60 Hz electrical power to 24 volts. An approved, grounded outlet
is needed within 5’ of the condioner controller. The condioner includes a 5’ power cable
to connect between the transformer and the controller. Surge protectors are recommended.
- SPACE REQUIREMENTS: Be sure to allow sucient area around the media tanks, brine
tanks for relling with salt and other service that may be required. Minimum oor space and
other dimensions are shown in secon 2.

Planning Locaon For Installaon. Secon 3.2
MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED
- Use the drawings in secon 3.3 as a guide for the materials required for the installaon. The
drawings show typical piping diagrams. All interconnecng piping, isolaon & bypass valves,
sample points / pressure gauges, etc. are not supplied with the unit.
- If the interconnecng piping is rigid, ex connectors will be required on all connecons to
the media tank as some movement is required. A ex connecon may also be required on the
drain line as well if the piping is rigid. The standard systems do not include ex connectors
but can be supplied as oponal items with the system.
- A vacuum breaker is recommended on the inlet of each media tank. The standard systems
do not include vacuum breakers but can be supplied as oponal items with the system.
-Note: Due to slight expansion and contracon of the media tanks, the piping must be
designed to all some movement as well as protecon from vacuum, ex connectors and a
vacuum breakers may be required. Failure to install or improperly install them will void the
warranty. See drawing below.
- To assist in servicing the control valve, place unions or anges on the piping connecons to
the control valve.
- Install unit isolaon and system bypass valves. These valves allow you to turn o water to
individual units in the system, for servicing. The full-line bypass will allow water to service if
the system is taken oine for service.
- Inlet and outlet sample points and pressure gauges are required to conrm proper operaon
of the system.
- Minimum inside diameter hose or
pipe is required for the condioner
valve drain (see secon 4). The drain
connecon at the valve is 1.5” or 2”
male pipe thread. Also, on soeners,
a length of 5/8” hose is needed for
the drain overow on brine tanks.

- Select the site for the installaon (See secon 3). The tanks should be located on a level sup-
port pad with adequate space on all sides. The system must be close to an drain that is capa-
ble of handling the maximum regeneraon ow rate. Units should be within 3 feet of one
another for the communicaon cables.
- Posion the tanks as shown on the system drawings (see secon 3). Check the tank
orientaon to ensure the piping will properly line up. If the tanks have tripod bases or
separate legs, they must be securely fastened to the oor when tank locaons have been
nalized. Six 3/8” lag bolts with washers (2 per leg) are recommended.
- Check the internal hub and laterals distribuon system for any damage that may of occurred
in shipping. This inspecon is crical because if the distribuon is broken, the media will be
ushed into the service lines. Also note that the riser tube on the 105 valve is cut 1/2” below
the top of the tank (see secon 5).
- Load the media into the tanks. See secon 5 for the media loading procedure.
Piping Secon 4.2
- Due to slight expansion and contracon of the tank, piping must allow some movement. If
rigid piping is used, ex connectors must be used between the hard piping and to unit
connecons as well as any other connecons to the tank. An adequate vacuum breaker
must also be used to protect the tank any vacuum condion that could occur. Failure to
install or improperly install ex connectors and vacuum breakers where required may void
the warranty.
- Install the piping conforming to state, federal, provincial and local codes. All government
codes and regulaons governing the installaon of these devises must be observed.
- Flanges or unions must be installed close to the control valves. This will allow piping to be
removed for any servicing of any of the system components. Each unit requires a inlet and
outlet isolaon valves are required as well as a full system bypass valve.
-Sample points and pressure gauges are required on the inlet & outlet of each unit. An air
release (if required) should be installed at the highest point on each unit (by others).

- All piping must be properly supported and braced to keep the weight o of the valve.
- On mulple tank systems, (normally these are MTS systems with a central controller) to
promote equal water ow through each unit, the overall pipe length to each unit should be
as idencal as possible. Use the same pipe lengths and ngs on connecons to each unit.
See below. All installaon diagrams for single, duplex, etc. are in secon 3.
- The drain lines should be as short as possible and must piped to an open drain. Access to
the drain and air gap are necessary for visual inspecon and tesng of the drain water. The
air gap also prevents sewage backing up into the unit.
- If the drain travels a long distance or through a substanal elevaon change down, an
addional vacuum breaker is required on the drain line to prevent a vacuum on the mineral
tank.
- The drain line size must be sized to easily handle the maximum regeneraon ow rate with
minimal pressure drop (2-4 psi). The oor drain must also be sized to handle the maximum
regeneraon owrate. The 105 valve has a 1.5” or 2” MNPT connecon. See secon 2 for
specicaons.

Special Piping Applicaons Secon 4.3
- If the treated water is owing into a open reservoir then it is recommended that a loop
with a vacuum breaker to be installed on the outlet line. This would eliminate the chance of
causing a vacuum condion on the tanks when water is owing into the reservoir as well as
prevenng the water in the units from siphoning down when not in operaon. If the units
did drain down, it could lead to operaonal issues for the system.
- If the system requires treated water regeneraon, addional room will have to be le open
for addional valves. Usually if it is a soener system, a three ball electric ball valves are
required. If it is a lter system, normally only two electric ball valves are required.
Three electric ball valves used for treated
water regeneraon. Typically a soener.
Two electric ball valves used for
treated water regeneraon.
Typically a lter.

105 Control Valve Secon 4.4
- When ordered as a system, the control valve is already set up for the system with the
proper backwash ow controls, etc.
- The valve piping connecons are shown below. See secon 2 for standard connecon sizes
for individual units.
- Inlet connecon 1.5” or 2” MNPT
- Outlet connecon is 1.5” or 2 “ MNPT and has the meter mounted internally. For more
informaon see secon 10. Conrm
meter cable is properly inserted
into the meter pipe adapter.
- Drain connecon is 1.5” or 2”
MNPT and for most units, has the
backwash ow controller mounted
internally.
- Brine line connecon (also used
on a few specialized lters) is 3/4”
thread. When required, the valve is
supplied with a adapter to connect
to 3/8” or 1/2” tubing. NOTE: for units larger than 450,000 grains, the brine line piping is
3/4” or 1” pvc and is not supplied.
