1. The Genesis 2 AIO system should not be used on water having an iron content above
7 ppm or 7 mg/1.
2. Free chlorine should be removed before passing water through the media.
3. The Genesis 2 AIO removes dissolved iron from water, which is present as ferrous iron.
Iron can also exist in other forms such as bacterial iron, soluble organic iron and colloidal
iron. Those forms of iron cannot be removed effectively by an Genesis 2 AIO.
4. Any sequestering agents including polyphosphates and meta-phosphate should be
added after the Genesis 2 AIO System.
5. For high iron content in feed water (> 7 ppm) it is recommended to backwash the unit
with treaded water, so as to avoid contamination of bottom portion of the bed.
6. The unit must be backwashed a specified flow rate resulting in 60% bed expansion for
effective removal of precipitated iron and suspended solids.
7. The start-up backwash and rinse prior to new service installation is critical for cleaning
media of manufacturing color, taste and any trace amine odors. We recommend 2 bed
volumes of backwash followed by 2 bed volumes of fast rinse. This timing is explained in
Schedule B.
8. The backwash frequency shall be every 12 to 24 hours for continuous operating systems.
If the unit is operating intermittently, backwash per Fe Clear recommendations in
Schedule A.

Pressing and holding for 3 seconds, when system is locked, results in a delayed regeneration at the
preselected time.
•Extended Power Outage Indicator
If outage exceeds 3 days, the time of day indicator " " will flash 12:12. The current time of day needs to be
re-set. All other set parameters remain stored in memory. The valve will resume to operate form the point of
the power outage.
•Three Regeneration Sequences
•Lockout Function
Keypad will lock after 5 minutes without use. To access the parameter changes press and hold and
simultaneously for 3 seconds to unlock.
•LCD Display Screen
•Maximum Day Regeneration Interval
When the valve reaches the maximum programmed service days, without reaching the set service capacity, it
will trigger a regeneration at the pre-programmed time of day. Regeneration(s) reset both the maximum day
regeneration value and the service capacity value.
•One Button to Change the Current Time
Pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds, when system is locked, allows the current time of day to be
adjusted.
•Service Alarm
When the service alarm feature counts-down and reaches set point, (Selectable 30 day min to 900 day max in
30 day increments) the alarm will activate at 8pm. The alarm will sound for 2 minutes and then shut off
automatically. To silence alarm within the 2 minute period, press any button. A service call message will then
appear on the screen as a signal for the homeowner to contact a water treatment professional for routine
service. To eliminate this message from the screen, unlock the valve programming by pressing the UP and

• All plumbing and electrical work should be performed by an accredited professional to ensure all
federal, state, local and municipal regulations are met.
• Do not use the system with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• When there is moderate to high turbidity, a filter should be installed before the water softening
system on the inlet side.
• If the water pressure exceeds 120psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed before the
water inlet. If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi, installing a pressure reducing valve before the
water inlet is highly recommended. If the water pressure is under 20 psi, a booster pump must
be installed before the water inlet.
•Replacement parts for the Genesis 2 AIO valve should only be purchased through Discount Water
Softeners resellers. Electrical transformers are specific to the Genesis 2 AIO valve from Discount
Water Softeners.
•Regular interval monitoring of the water quality and work environment is recommended to
ensure proper operation of the valve system.
•Any modifications the Discount Water Softeners equipment, which is outside the standard scope
of supply, voids the product warranty.
•Discount Water Softeners equipment, like all modern electronic devices, can be damaged by
electrical surges or brown outs. Every effort has been taken to harden the circuits, by design, to
protect against such events. These precautions, or even additional surge protection, are not
100% effective. Therefore, equipment damage caused by abnormal electrical events is not
covered by warranty.
•Complete system must be protected from outdoor elements such as rain, moisture and direct
sunlight. Failure to do so voids warranty.
***Failure to use this product within the described conditions may void the warranty***

Plumbing and Mechanical Setup
Note:
1) If making a soldered copper installation, all sweat soldering should be done before connecting pipes
to the valve. Torch heat will damage plastic parts.
2) When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic fitting, take precaution not to cross thread or over
tighten.
Control Valve Installation
• As Figure 1-1 shows; insert a 32mm riser pipe with bottom basket
into the center of the mineral tank. If pipe is higher than the tip of
the pressure tank, mark it, remove from tank, and cut. Take care to
keep foreign material out of pressure tank. Note: The length of the
riser pipe should be below tank flange. The distance from the top of
the tank to the top of the pipe should be between 3/16" and 1/4".
The edges of the pipe should not be sharp to avoid damage to the
seal inside the Genesis 2 AIO valve.
• Install Valve Base O-ring around the neck of the valve.
• Lubricate the center hub O-ring of the Genesis 2 AIO valve.
• Install the top basket with a twist and lock action to center hub of
the Genesis 2 AIO valve.
• Place Genesis 2 AIO valve onto tank with the distribution pipe
inserted down the middle of the top basket. Rotate clockwise to
