WARNING:
Lubricants
Do NOT use Vaseline, oils, hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere! Petroleum base lubricants will
cause swelling of o-rings and seals. The use of other lubricants may attack plastic Noryl®. It is recommended
that Dow
Corning® silicone grease be used as a lubricant for all control valves. Dow Corning® 7 Release Compound is used
in the manufacture of Chandler Systems control valves. (Part # LT-150)
Sealants
Pipe dope and liquid thread sealers may contain a carrier that attacks some plastic materials. It is recommended
that only Teon® tape be used to seal plastic Noryl® threaded ttings.

App Salt Monitoring Update
The recent release of Legacy View, version 3.1.18, adds Salt Monitoring to the existing generation of residential
and commercial metered softeners that are running the C4.22 rmware. Below is an overview of the new func-
tionality.
General Setup and Use
will see a new item on the dashboard called, “Brine
Tank Level” and it will display “Click to Setup” to indi-
Once you tap “Click to setup” or “Set”-
For residential metered softeners, this will default to a
inches.
For commercial metered softeners, this will default to a
inches. Note that the commercial brine tanks will also
include the 24 inch and 30 inch brine tank option.
enter the current salt level in the tank by either tapping
the brine tank or sliding up and down to the desired
position. This will need updated every time you add
salt to your brine tank. You can also adjust the initial
“Salt Monitoring” section).

When the salt level is set the brine tank level on the dash-
board will update to show a smaller representation of the
brine tank with the current salt level. When the softener
completes a regeneration the salt level will be updated
accordingly. Please note that the value may be lower than
what was shown when entering the salt level. This is ex-
pected behavior as it rounds down to the pounds of salt
remaining that can complete full regenerations to help
avoid hard water from breaking through.
When a valve reports it has low salt it can be seen on the
device list when you initially open the app. This happens
when the salt level in the brine tank is determined to be at
20% or less.
Salt Monitoring
For users that would like to see the overall salt level status, for one or more metered softeners, without having to
connect to each valve then we also oer that functionality as well. The setup and functionality work a little dierently
in Android and iOS so both methods will be shown to illustrate this. However, they will both do a quick scan every
30 minutes for nearby metered softeners. If a metered softener is found, then it will check to see if that softener was
included in the monitoring. If it was included, then the status is checked and reported.
You can enable the salt monitoring service by tapping the
magnifying glass icon from the brine tank settings dialog.
dialog. Tapping the button under the “Enable Monitoring”
option toggles the monitoring on or off. Once enabled, it
will be enabled for all valves. However, you must indicate
what valves you would like to monitor. Enabling the salt
monitoring will also automatically include the softener
you’re connected to. You can decide whether to include a
valve by toggling the option under “Include Softener”. This
must be done for each valve you want to monitor.

iOS Salt Monitoring
iOS uses a widget to monitor the salt level and can be used on any device running iOS 14 or later. The widget can
be setup using the following steps:
From the Home Screen, touch and hold a widget or an
empty area until the apps start to jiggle. Once the apps
are jiggling, press the gray + button in the upper left-
hand corner.

select it.
From here, you can click and drag the widget to the
home screen or click the “Add Widget” button. This will
place it on the home screen, and it will initiate an initial
scan.
Once the widget is on the home screen, you can either

monitoring within the app by tapping the magnifying glass
icon from the brine tank settings dialog. Tapping the icon
button under the “Enable Monitoring” will explain the steps
to setup the widget. You can decide whether to include a
valve by toggling the option under “Include Softener”. This
must be done for each valve you want to monitor.
Note:
If no softeners have been included, then “No Softeners Detected” will be displayed. However, once you have en-
abled monitoring and included the softener to be monitored, then it will update when the next scan occurs. Also,
if the softener being monitored is not in Bluetooth range during the last scheduled scan, the widget will say “No
Softeners Detected”.
Troubleshooting
If the salt level in the tank is not tracking with the salt level reported in the app, then there is most likely a problem
tank properly. This could be the screen under the injector cover is plugged or the brine line flow control is fouled.
It could also not be properly drawing the water out of the brine tank, but this would probably be indicated by an
unusually high-water level in the brine tank. The injector could also need cleaned. If there is less salt than expect-
damaged or missing.
Once setup, the widget will trigger a Bluetooth scan
every 30 minutes, as mentioned above. If all softeners
display “Salt Level OK”. If a softener is reporting that
it has low salt, then “Salt Level Low” will be displayed.
