Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with the
device and its capabilities before installing or operating your
Water Conditioner. Failure to follow instructions in this
manual could result in personal injury or property damage.
This manual will also help you to get the most out of your
conditioner.
This system is intended for use on municipal water only and
its installation must comply with all State, provincial or local
regulations. Check with your local public works department
for plumbing and sanitation codes. In the event the codes
conflict with any content in this manual the local codes
should be followed. Consult your licensed plumber for
installation of this system.
This water conditioner is designed to operate on pressures of
30 psi to 125 psi. If the water pressure is higher than the
maximum use a pressure reducing valve in the water supply
line to the conditioner.
This unit is capable of operating at temperatures between
40°F and 110°F (4°C - 43°C). Do not use this water conditioner
on hot water supplies.
Do not install this unit where it may be exposed to wet
weather, direct sunlight, or temperatures outside of the
range specified above.
Avoid pinched o-rings during installation by applying
(provided with install kit) NSF certified lubricant to all seals.
It is not uncommon for sediment, precipitated iron or
hardness to be present in water supplies. Precipitated
minerals or sediments can cause damage to the seals and
piston. This is considered a harsh environment and the seals
and piston would not be covered by warranty stated or
otherwise.
It is recommended to regularly inspect and service the
control valve on an annual basis. Cleaning and or replacement
of piston, seals, and or spacers may be necessary depending
on how harsh the conditions are. An Annual Maintenance kit
(Part # 60010565) is available for this purpose

Certified by IAPMO R&T according to NSF/ANSI 44 for
effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium)
as verified and substantiated by test data.
These refiners conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for the specific performance claims as verified and substantiated by test data.These models are efficiency rated.The efficiency rating
is valid only at the stated salt dose and maximum service flow rate.They have a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R.) feature that complies with specific performance
specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation.These refiners have a rated refiner efficiency of not less than 3350
grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than their listed ratings.The rated salt efficiency is measured by
laboratory tests described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44.These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the systems can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual
efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other
contaminants that reduce the refiner’s capacity. These systems are not intended for use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. For best results, use plain, white block salt. Refer to Installation/operation manual and warranty for further details on installation, parts
and service, maintenance and further restrictions or limitations to the use of the product.
EFFICIENCY STATEMENT
This product is efficiency rated according to NSF/ANSI 44.The stated efficiencies are valid only at the specified Sodium Chloride dosages and maximum service flow rate.

a) Attach the three brine grid legs to grid plate.The legs
will snap on to the tabs of the salt plate making a
“clicking”sound. Square brine tanks have four legs.
c) Drop the brine grid with brine well inside the
brine tank such that the nut tting faces the
hole on the brine tank. Then press the grid down
evenly inside the brine tank until the brine grid
legs touches the bottom of the brine tank.
b) Insert the brine well assembly inside the grid
plate in the hole provided.
d) Take the brine tube and insert the nut and plastic sleeve as
shown below.
e) Insert the tube in the oat assembly elbow and hand tighten
the nut. In many cases the brine line already comes installed
from the factory. Leave the other end of the brine line tube
inside the brine tank until you are ready to connect to the
control valve on the installation site.
f)Once at the installation site, pull the other end of the brine
tube from the hole on the brine tank.The completed assembly
is shown below.
The hole in
the brine tank
should line up

BEFORE INSTALLATION
Make sure you have a copy of your most recent water test results. If your water has not been tested previously you can contact
your supplier of this product to obtain a water sample bottle to be sent to one of our facilities for a free analysis. It is important
that this product not be installed until you have this information.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve or by physical
separation, an approved ground clamp with no less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity, to maintain proper
metallic pipe bonding.
Inspecting and Handling Your EV-ELT Filter*
Inspect the equipment for any shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage
inspection. Damage to cartons should also be noted.
Handle the filter unit with care. Damage can result if it is dropped or set on sharp, uneven projections on the floor.
Do not turn the filter unit upside down.
To Insure this Product Functions Properly:
Your feed water line size to the unit must be a minimum of 3/4 inch with an operating pressure of no less than 30
psi and no more than 125 psi.
MECHANICAL:
Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, oils or hydrocarbon based lubricants.Use only 100% silicone
lubricants (grease packet provided in parts kit). All plastic connections should be hand tightened only. Teflon tape may be used
on connections that do not use an O-ring seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches except where indicated by Nut shape (eg. pipe
adapters) All plumbing must be completed according to local codes. Soldering connections should be done before connecting
any pieces to the pipe as excessive heat can damage them.
Tools Required for Installation:
NOTE: We recommend installation only be completed by a competent installer or
plumbing professional to insure this product is installed in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
sTwo adjustable wrenches
sAdditional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing is required.
sPlastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the filter. To maintain full valve flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to and from the
filter fittings are recommended. You should maintain the same, or larger, pipe size as the water supply pipe, up to the filter
inlet and outlet.
sUse copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fittings.
sSome codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe.
sALWAYS install the included bypass valve, or 3 shut-off valves. Bypass valves let you turn off water to the filter for repairs if
needed, but still have water in the house pipes.
s5/8” OD drain line is needed for the valve drain. A 10’ length of hose is not included with some brands.
NOTE
All government codes and
regulations governing the
installation of these devices
must be observed.
NOTE
If a severe loss in water
pressure is observed when
the filter unit is initially
placed in service, the filter
tank may have been laid on
its side during transit. If this
occurs, backwash the filter
to “reclassify” the media.
*NOTE
Due to transportation
and climatic conditions all
connections including the
valve to the tank need to be
checked at time of
installation and tightened if
necessary.
NOTE
Check your local electrical
code for the correct clamp
and cable size.
CAUTION!
If the ground from the
electrical panel or breaker
box to the water meter or
underground copper pipe
is tied to the copper water
lines and these lines are cut
during installation of the No-
ryl bypass valve and/or poly
pipe, an approved grounding
strap must be used between
the two lines that have been
cut in order to maintain
continuity. The length of the
grounding strap will depend
upon the number of units
being installed and/or the
amount of copper pipe being
replaced with plastic pipe.
See Fig. 1.

Make sure both brass
and plastic nuts are
tightened well
PREPARATIONS
1. Media Installation (When Necessary). Models larger than 2.0 CF of media are shipped with separate media in pails or
boxes. Models lower than 1.5 CF of media come loaded with media and this step can be skipped for new installation.
a) Remove the adaptor from the mineral tank.
Grease the bottom oring of the adaptor with
silicone grease provided
b) Temporarily plug the open end of the riser tube to ensure
that no resin or gravel falls down into the distribution. The
riser (distributor) remains inside the tank seated in the
depression at the bottom.
Plug tube with a tape. Remove after media is loaded.
c) Fill support bed first. The media
will not always spill down inside
the tank and may need to be swept
inside.
The large funnel (sold separately
makes lling the tank easier and
neater. (Or an empty 1 gallon or 4
liter container with the bottom cut
out makes a good funnel.)
NOTE
The unit is not ready for
service until you complete
the start-up instructions,
page 15.
NOTE
Never make a direct
connection into a waste
drain. A physical air gap of at
least 1.5” should be used
to avoid bacteria and
wastewater travelling back
through the drain
line into the softener.
CAUTION!
The unit should be
depressurized before
installing or replacing media
Locate Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly
Select the location of your filter tank with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:
1. Locate as close as possible to the water supply source.
2. Locate as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain.
3. Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment. if closer than 10 feet please install check valve in
accordance with local plumbing codes.
4. Conditioners should be located in the supply line before the water heater. Temperatures above 110°F (43°C ) will cause
damage to conditioners.
5. Do not install a filter or filter in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage to
this type of equipment and will void the factory warranty.
6. Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing.
7. Keep the filter out of direct sunlight. The sun’’s heat may soften and distort plastic parts.

NOTE
Before starting installation,
read page 16, Plumbing
System Clean-Up, for in-
structions on some proce-
dures that may need to be
performed first.
Facts to Remember When Planning Your Installation
1. All installation procedures must conform to local and state or provincial plumbing codes.
2. Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply untreated water, replace untreated water with feed water
to the unit. If necessary to do this please install check valve, see page 14. A new water line is often required to be connected to
supply untreated water to the inlet of the water lter and to the outside faucets.
3. Make sure the bypass is attached well to the control valve. Connect the straight or elbow connectors to the bypass with red
clips. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water lter to the plumbing of the house.The control valve must not be submitted
to temperatures above 43°C (110°F).When sweat ttings are used, to avoid damaging the control valve, solder the threaded
copper adapters to the copper pipe and then, using Teon tape, screw the assembly into the bypass valve.
Do not use pipe thread compound as it may attack the material in the valve body.
4. Apply Teon Tape and Orings to the ttings
5. Connect Filter to the house plumbing. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve.
Always leave at least 6”(152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to
do this could cause damage to the valve.
6. Drain Line connection: UsingTeon tape, screw the 1/2”hose barb and attach oring into the drain port in the valve. Attach
1/2”drain hose (Supplied with some models and brands) to the hose barb and tighten securely with a hose clamp (Supplied
with some models and brands). Run the drain line to a oor drain or a laundry drain. Complete any necessary plumbing.
7. Using the Allen Key (included), place the unit in the bypass position. Slowly turn on the main water supply. At the nearest cold
treated water tap nearby remove the faucet screen, open the faucet and let water run a few minutes or until the system is free
of any air or foreign material resulting from the plumbing work.
8. Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system before proceeding. Close the water tap when water runs clean.
9. Open the brine tank / cabinet salt lid and add water until there is approximately 3”(75 mm) of water in the tank. Do not add
salt to the brine tank at this time.
1. Determine the best location for your water filter, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line and 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the filter to
freezing or temperatures above 43°C (110°F) will void the warranty.

4. Manually Regenerate the Valve (Continued)
4a. Open the inlet on the bypass valve slightly and very slowly allow water to enter the unit. (If the water enters too quickly it will push the media or carbon up into the control
valve and get plugged).
Once the unit has filled sufficiently that water is at least equal to the height of the top of the media shut down the water for 15 – 20 minutes for the carbon to soak. Unplug the
power cable. After the carbon has soaked for the recommended time continue.
4b. Open the inlet on the bypass valve slowly and allow water to enter the unit. (The outlet of the bypass should remain closed to prevent any fines or debris from entering the
plumbing system. Allow all air to escape from the unit before turning the water on fully then allow water to run to drain for 3-4 minutes, or until the water at the drain
appears to be clear of any fines.
5. Plug in the valve and the valve will automatically advance to the SERVICE position. Open the outlet valve on the bypass, then slowly open the nearest treated water faucet and
allow the water to run until clear, close the tap and replace the faucet screen.
6. The Valve is already programmed by the factory. Please continue with set up of current time and hardness.

DURING REGENERATION
Automatic Water Bypass
The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 1.5 hours to 3.0 hours depending on the specic model, after which treated water service will be restored. During regeneration,
untreated water is automatically bypassed for use in the household. Hot water should be used as little as possible during this time to prevent hard water from lling the water
heater.
IMPORTANT: Automatic regeneration is set for sometime during the night and manual regenerations should be performed when little or no water will be
used in the household.
Manual Water Bypass
In case of an emergency or when performing maintenance, you can isolate your water conditioner from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control.
In normal operation the bypass is open with the ON/OFF knobs in line with the INLET and OUTLET pipes.To isolate the conditioner, simply rotate the knobs clockwise (as indicated
by the word BYPASS and arrow) until they lock. You can use your water related xtures and appliances as the watersupply is bypassing the conditioner. However, the water you
use will be hard. To resume treated service, open the bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise. Please make sure bypass knobs are completely open otherwise
the unconditionered water could bypass through the valve.
New Sounds
You may notice new sounds as your water conditioner operates.The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 1.5 hours to 3.0 hours depending on the specic model. During this
time, will be able to hear water running intermittently to the drain, depending on proximity of the unit to sleeping area and time of regeneration.
PLUMBING SYSTEM CLEAN-UP
The following procedures are guidelines only but have proven successful in most instances. Under no circumstances should any procedure outlined below be followed if contrary
to the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Should there by any questions concerning the advisability of performing a procedure, it is strongly recommended the manufactur-
er’s authorized service outlet be consulted prior to performing the procedure.
Water Heater
If the water heater has been exposed to both iron and hardness for a long period of time, replacement of the heater tank maybe the only practical solution to prevent continued
staining originating from this source. After completing the installation of the conditioner, clean the water heater by following these instructions:
1. Shut o energy supply to water heater and close heater inlet water valve.
2. Drain hot water tank completely. Open inlet water valve allowing heater tank to be relled with iron-free water. Continue ushing until water runs clear to drain.
3. If, after approximately 30 minutes ushing, water does NOT clear, terminate ushing operation. Rell hot water heater with water and pour approximately 1/2 gallon of
household bleach into top of heater tank. Allow bleach solution to stand in tank for 20 to 30 minutes. Flush tank
Dishwasher
Consult owners’handbook and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Toilet Flush Tanks
Prior to commencing installation of the conditioner system, pour 4 to 6 ounces of resin mineral cleaner Pro-Rust Out or or other suitable cleaner such as CLR that contains a mild
acid into ush tanks and bowls and let stand. When installation is completed, ush toilets several times with conditioned water. If stains or deposits return check that lines are
connected to treated water. Repeat procedure until clear. again until water is clear at drain. Turn energy supply on.
NOTE
If water does not clear in
approximately 10 minutes,
water heater should
probably be replaced.

18
CAUTION!
Never subject your conditioner to
freezing, vacuum or to
temperatures above 43°C (110°F).
Service Schedule
The seals and spacers along with the piston assembly should be inspected/cleaned or replaced every year depending on the inlet water quality and water usage on clean
municipal supplies every 2 - 3 years should be sucient but the rst check should be done after 1 year. See inspection and replacement of Piston assembly and seal and spacer
kit, page 26.
The injectors should be cleaned/inspected or replaced every year depending on the water quality and use. See Clean Injector Assembly, page 27.
Maintenance of your new water conditioner requires very little time or eort but it is essential. Regular maintenance will ensure many years of ecient and trouble free operation.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW BASIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WILL RESULT IN THE UNIT FAILING TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
CAUTION!
Liquid brine will irritate eyes,
skin and open wounds -
gently wash exposed area
with fresh water. Keep
children away from
your water conditioner.
Bridging
Humidity or the wrong type of Sodium Chloride may create a cavity between the
water and the Sodium Chloride.This action, known as“bridging”, prevents the
brine solution from being made, leading to your water supply being hard.
If you suspect Sodium Chloride bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the
plastic brine tank or pour some warm water over the Sodium Chloride to break
up the bridge.This should always be followed up by allowing the unit to use
up any remaining Sodium Chloride and then thoroughly cleaning out the brine
tank. Allow four hours to produce a brine solution, then manually regenerate the
conditioner.
Cleaning of your Brine / Sodium Chloride tank
Sodium Chloride tanks will build up sludge (undissolved Sodium Chloride) in the bottom of them that will continue to increase as time goes by. Every 2 - 3 years the Sodium
Chloride tank should be cleaned out completely and re started using the original start up instructions.

Checking the Sodium Chloride Level
Check the Sodium Chloride level monthly. Remove the lid from the cabinet or brine tank, make sure Sodium Chloride level is
always above the brine level.
Add Sodium Chloride to the Brine Tank
Put 40 kgs of crystal water conditioner Sodium Chloride in the brine tank. The unit will automatically ll the water to the correct
level when it regenerates. Use only clean Sodium Chloride labeled for water conditioner use, such as crystal, pellet, nugget,
button or solar. The use of rock Sodium Chloride is discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which build up in the
brine tank and can cause problems with the system’s operation. Add the Sodium Chloride directly to the tank, lling no higher
than the top of the brine well.
NOTE :THE WATER LEVEL SHOULD BE BELOW THE Sodium Chloride LEVEL ALL THE TIME
CAUTION!
Incorrect start up, water
above the Sodium Chloride
level, (not enough Sodium
Chloride in tank) will both
effect the units capacity and
result in hardness slippage.
Should either of these situa-
tions happen or the unit fails
to regenerate for any other
reason please first correct
the problem. Then regen-
erate the unit manually 2
times in a row to restore the
reserve capacity and bring
the media bed back up to
specification.
