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. 90 minutes prior to regeneration the control valve will put fresh water into
the salt tank to make brine. Then during regeneration, it will draw the brine solution out of the salt tank and flush
both the accumulated hardness and excess salt to the drain.
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 may require
special ion exchange resin or an iron filter. If bacterial iron or ferric (red water) iron is present or iron level
exceeds 4.0 mg/l, an iron filter must 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 mustbe tested at the
well site within 1 minute of drawing the sample. If sulfur is present additional equipment will be required. OXY
iron filters can typically treat up to 2 milligrams per liter of sulfur gas if regenerated daily.

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 localplumbing 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.

STEP 1: Carefully remove all components from packaging. DO NOT DISCARD PACKAGING until all
water softener components and fittings have been located.
STEP 2: Using the integrated coupling nuts, attach the bypass valve to the inlet/outlet of the control
valve and put handles in the bypass position (Figure 2).
STEP 3: Place unit at desired installation position.
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 the provided polyethylene tubing (NO VINYL TUBING) to run drain line from control valve
barbed drain fitting (Figure 2) to floor drain or sump pit capable of handling the backwash rate
of the softener (refer to specifications on Page 17). THE 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 wastewater and meet plumbing code. Total length of drain line should be
15’ or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.

STEP 7: Connect one end of the 3/8” brine line to the control valve quick connect brine line fitting
(Figure 2, Page 5). 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 (Figure 3). 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: If desired, install overflow tubing (not provided) from overflow elbow on brine tank (Figure 3) to
floor drain. Tubing must be lower than the overflow elbow at all times. DO NOT CONNECT
DRAIN LINE FROM SOFTENER CONTROL VALVE TO BRINE TANK OVERFLOW. DO
NOT CONNECT BRINE TANK DRAIN LINE TO THE SOFTENER DRAIN LINE.
STEP 9: Plug the transformer into an un-switched electrical outlet and insert the power cord plug into
the power socket (Figure 2, Page 5) on the back of the control valve. Ensure control valve is in
“Service” mode (time of day is displayed on the screen {refer to page 8 for Home Screen
Display}).
STEP 10: Place bypass valve in the “Bypass” position (refer to Figure 2, Page 5; Figure 4, Page 7) and
open main supply valve or turn on power to pump on private well systems.
STEP 11: Add water in the brine tank to slightly above the top level of the salt grid (approx. 6 gallons).
DO NOT ADD SALT TO THE BRINE TANK AT THIS TIME.

STEP 12: Press and hold the REGEN button (4) until the motor starts. Then use the NEXT button (1) to
advance the control valve to the backwash position (refer to pages 9 and 10 for details). When
the backwash countdown begins, unplug power from the valve.
STEP 13: Refer to Figure 4 bypass valve operation. Rotate the INLET knob of the bypass valve slightly
toward the Service position (just enough to hear water entering the tank) allowing the unit to fill
slowly (be patient). Filling the mineral tank with the control valve in the backwash position will
purge air from the mineral tank to the drain.
STEP 14: When all air has been purged from the system and only water is running to the drain, slowly
rotate the inlet knob of the bypass valve to the “Service” position and do the same for the outlet
knob.
STEP 15: Plug power back into the control valve. The display will return to the time of day. Then press
and hold the REGEN button (4) until the motor starts and advance the control valve to the
BRINE DRAW cycle using the NEXT button (1). Verify that the water level in the brine tank is
dropping. Allow water level to drop below the top of the salt grid before continuing. If the water
level does not drop, refer to page 25 for Troubleshooting. After verifying water level is dropping
advance control valve to the time of day using the NEXT button (1).
STEP 16: Check for leaks andcorrect as necessary.
STEP 17: Turn power or fuel supply back on to water heater.
STEP 18: Press and hold the CHECKLIST button (3) until the screen changes to set the hardness & iron
concentrations on the control valve (refer to Installer Settings, Page 13, for details), then press
DONE.
STEP 19: Press the SET button (1) to set the current time of day on the timer (Page 8, note AM and PM).
STEP 20:Add at least 40 lbs of water softener salt to the brine tank. Any type of water softening salt
may be used.

Once activated, the vacation mode will prevent the water softener from regenerating. This may be used if the
house will not be occupied for an extended period of time. The vacation mode is initiated by pressing the VAC
button on the front panel. There will be a 30 minute delay from the time the button is pressed until the vacation
mode is active to allow time for last minute water use.
The vacation mode will automatically deactivate once the water softener detects normal water use.
The revolutionary ECO mode is a forward-looking feature that uses water usage history and a process called
proportional brining to ensure adequate softening capacity for future estimated water use. The water softener
stores historical daily water use data. If the next day’s anticipated water use requires more softening capacity
than is currently available, the softener will initiate a regeneration process using a fractional portion of the
programmed salt setting. This partial salt regeneration recovers only the depleted portion of the softening
capacity. This proportional regeneration will save in both salt consumption and water use by using lower salt
settings and fewer regeneration cycles.
Ensure the Rinse and Minutes indicators are illuminated. Using ‘↑’
and ‘↓’, set the desired length of time for RINSE cycle.
After all cycles have been set press either ‘NEXT’ or ‘DONE’
button to return to Home Screen.
