GENERAL WARNINGS
The control valve, ttings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed
to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubrications or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on
black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench (P/N V3193). If
necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not
place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with hammer.
Do not use pipe dope or any other sealant on threads. Teon tape must be used on the threads of the 1” NPT elbow or the
1/4” NPT connection and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or
caps because of o-ring seals.
After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive assembly and pistons, press and hold NEXT and REGEN
button for three seconds or unplug power source jack from printed circuit board (black wire) and plug back in. This resets
the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should ash all wording , then ash software version
(e.g. 220.1) and then reset the valve to the service position.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size of the drain line should be a minimum
of 1/2”. Backwash ow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 3/4” drain line.
Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line ow control tting. Leave at least 6” between the
drain line control tting and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the drain line control tting. Failure to
do this could cause interior damage to the drain line ow control tting.
When assembling the installation tting package(P/N V3007) to the inlet and outlet (see Page 11), connect the tting to the
plumbing system rst and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the
nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and
o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
Plug into an electrical outlet. NOTE: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the
outlet is uninterrupted.) Install grounding strap on metal pipes.
INSTALLATION
Place softener in desired location close to water supply inlet, after pressure tank, and near a source for waste water, (utility
sink, oor drain or sewer line). A 115/120V, 60 Hz uninterrupted outlet is required. Keep softener far enough away from walls
and other obstructions to allow enough room for servicing the unit. All sillcocks and similar xtures that will use untreated
water must have their pipes connected to the hard water side of the softener. A bypass valve (optional accessory) should
be installed so that water will be available if it should be necessary to shut off the pressure in order to service the softener.
The cabinet tank or mineral tank must be reasonably level and solidly in place. Prior to beginning work to the system, make
sure that water pressure is shut off at the incoming water supply and that several water spigots are open to provide sufcient
venting for drainage of that system.
Arrows are molded into the control valve to show the direction of the ow.
OPTIONAL BYPASS VALVE: The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require hand
tightening. Install with red knobs in the upward position. Press end of bypass valve with o-rings into valve. Hand tighten nuts.
Place into BYPASS OPERATION (gure 1 page 3).
Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve. DO NOT use
pipe dope or any other sealant on threads. Teon tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals. Do not use
Vaseline or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.
DRAIN LINE: The 3/4” drain line elbow accommodates 5/8” poly tube or 3/4” NPT drain line connections. The nut and poly
tube insert for the 3/4” drain line elbow is designed for use with exible poly tube only. The drain line elbow can be rotated
so the outlet can be oriented toward the nearest drain.

PAGE 3
TO INSTALL 5/8” POLY TUBE DRAIN LINE: The poly tube insert is shipped attached to the drain line elbow’s locking clip.
Press the insert into the drain line (5/8” poly tube not included). Loosen nut of the drain line elbow. Press 5/8” poly tube with
insert into the drain line elbow until it seats on the back of the tting. Tighten nut.
It is simplest to run the drain line into a sump pump pit or washing machine drain if possible. If this is not practical, a tting
with a trap must be installed in a sewer line. Place the trap as close to the vent as possible to prevent siphoning of the trap
when large amounts of waste water go through the sewer line. DO NOT pipe the drain line solidly into the waste line, as this
is prohibited by most plumbing codes. The drain line should enter the trap from above so the water will not back up in the
drain line if sewer should become plugged up and the trap overow. The trap should have a short pipe extending from it to
prevent splashing when water runs into the trap from drain line.
BRINE LINE CONNECTIONS: 3/8” poly tube is shipped within the instruction/warranty card packet afxed to the control
valve. One poly tube insert is shipped on the brine line elbow’s locking clip, the second is taped to the cap of the brine well.
Remove the locking clip by pulling straight out. Remove the white poly tube insert from the locking clip, and replace the
locking clip on the brine line elbow of the control valve.
Press the poly tube insert into the provided 3/8” poly tube. Press the poly tube and insert into the nut until it is fully seated
into the tting. Do not use pipe dope or any other sealant on threads. Teon tape is not needed on the threads. Tighten nut
securely to create a pressure tight connection. Pliers or crescent wrench may be used. The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve
is a three piece assembly that can come apart if removed from the elbow body. Parts must be reassembled exactly as
shown to function properly. If the nut is completely removed from the body, slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve
on to the tube then tighten on to the tting.

BYPASS VALVE:
The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before
working on the rotor, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow shaped handles toward the center of the
bypass valve and back to the arrow direction several times to ensure rotor is turning freely.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tighten by hand. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew
the nut or cap. DO NOT use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. DO NOT place screwdriver in slots on
caps and/or tap with a hammer. To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle out as one unit.
Twisting the unit as you pull it out will help to remove it more easily. There are three o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on
the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.
When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:
1. O-rings on both rotors face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve when the handle
pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows; or
2. Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.
Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled 180° from their correct orientation. To install the
red handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body
while tightening the bypass valve caps.
After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 5 seconds or unplug power source
jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the home position for
softening. Reset the time of day.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.
Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor plug from the PC board.
The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board. The power source plug connects to the
four-pin jack. The water meter plug (gray wire) connects to the three-pin jack on the far right-hand side of the PC board.
The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the
display panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the drive bracket, unplug the
power and motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the top of the drive bracket while pulling outward on
the top of the PC board. The drive bracket has one plastic pin that ts into the hole in the lower edge of the PC board. Once
the PC board is tilted about 45° from the drive bracket it can be lifted off the pin. To reinstall the PC board, position the lower
edge of the PC board so that the hole in the PC board lines up with the plastic pin. Push the top of the PC board towards
the valve. Align the upper hole on the left hand side of the PC board with the pin and push in until the PC board snaps under
the middle latch, weave the power wire into the holders and reconnect the motor and power plugs.
The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is not
necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive bracket start
by removing the plug for the power source. Unweave the wire from the side holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back
plate hold the drive bracket in place. Simultaneously lift the two tabs and gently ease the top of the drive bracket toward your
body. The lower edge of the drive bracket has two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on the drive
bracket to disengage the notches.
To reassemble seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the drive back plate. Push
the top of the drive bracket towards the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be lifted slightly to let the threaded
piston rod pass through the hole in the drive bracket. Maintain a slight engaging force on the top of the drive bracket while
deecting the bracket slightly to the left by pressing on the side of the upper right corner. This helps the drive gears mesh
with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket is properly seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive back plate. If
resistance is felt before latching, then the notches are not fully engaged, the piston rod is not in the hole, the power wire is
jammed between the drive bracket and the drive plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly.
To inspect drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. The drive gear is held in place on the drive bracket by
three clips. The largest of the three clips is always oriented to the bottom of the drive bracket. Before trying to remove the
drive gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from
the drive bracket without removing the PC board. Simultaneously, push in and down on the large clip at the bottom and the
clip on the left-hand side of the drive bracket behind the PC board. Keep your other ngers behind the drive gear cover so
the drive gears do not drop on the ground.
Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the
reective coating because dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.
The drive gear cover only ts on one way, with the large clip oriented towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of the
gear shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place.
The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To remove the
motor, disconnect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and
hold. Rotate the motor at least a ¼ turn in either direction before gently pulling on the wire connectors to remove the motor.
Pulling directly on the wire without rotating the motor may break the wires off the motor.
Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. When reinstalling the motor gently turn the motor
while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover and the small plastic plug
engages one of the slots on the motor housing. Reconnect the motor plug to the two pronged jack on the lower left-hand
side of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive gear when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate motor
before reinserting.
Replace the valve cover. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 5 seconds
or unplug power source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes
the home position for softening. Reset the time of day.

DRIVE CAP ASSEMBLY, MAIN PISTON AND REGENERANT PISTON:
The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly must be removed to
access the piston(s). The drive cap assembly is threaded into the control valve body and seals the o-ring. To remove the
drive cap assembly use the optional maintenance wrench or insert a ¼” to ½” at bladed screwdriver into one the slots
around the top 2” of the drive cap assembly so it engages the notches molded into the drive back plate around the top
2” of the piston cavity (see gure 4). The notches are visible through the holes. Lever the screwdriver so the drive cap
assembly turns counter clockwise. Once loosened unscrew the drive cap assembly by hand and pull straight out.
The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts that
should not be dissembled in the eld. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the o-ring. Attached to the drive
cap assembly is the main piston and, a regenerant piston.
The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by unsnapping it
from its latch. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulte or vinegar or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove
the main piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the
number. Chemically clean in diluted sodium bisulte or vinegar or replace the main piston.
Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not
lubricate the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston. Lubricant will adversely affect the red or clear lip seals. Reinsert
the drive cap assembly and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue to
tighten the drive cap assembly using the maintenance wrench or screwdriver as a ratchet until the black o-ring on the spacer
stack assembly is no longer visible through the drain port. Excessive force can break the notches molded into the drive back
plate. Make certain the main drive gear still turns freely. The exact position of the piston is not important as long as the main
drive gear turns freely.
Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press and
hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 5 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back
in. This resets the electronics and establishes the home position for softening. Reset the time of day.
SPACER STACK ASSEMBLY:
To access the spacer stack assembly remove the drive assembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack
assembly can be removed easily without tools by using your thumb and forenger. Inspect the black o-rings and red or clear
lip seals for wear or damage. Replace the entire stack if necessary. The spacer stack assembly has been 100% tested at
the factory to insure proper orientation of one way seals. Do not disassemble stack.
The spacer stack assembly may be chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulte or vinegar) or wipe with a soft cloth.
The spacer stack assembly can be pushed into the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can
be compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (⅝” to 1⅛” in diameter) to push the center of the assembly into the control
valve body. The assembly is properly seated when at least four threads are exposed (approximately ⅝”) Do not force the
spacer stack assembly in. The control valve body bore interior can be lubricated with silicone to allow for easy insertion of
the entire stack. Do not use silicone or any other type of lubricant on the red or clear lips seals or the piston.
Reattach the drive cap assembly and piston(s) and the drive assembly.
After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 5 seconds or unplug power source
jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the home position for
softening. Reset the time of day.

INJECTOR CAP, SCREEN, INJECTOR PLUG AND INJECTOR:
Unscrew the injector cap and lift off. Loosen cap with optional maintenance wrench or pliers if necessary. A screen is
attached to the injector cap. Remove the screen and clean if fouled.
The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screwdriver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace the
entire plug. The injector consist of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or dilute sodium bisulte.
The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the ow rates of the water to insure
that the proper concentration of the regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should not be used to
clean the injector. Scoring the injector or increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating parameters of the
injector.
Two holes are labeled DN and UP. For down ow systems, the appropriate injector is located in the “DN” hole, a plug is in
the “UP” hole. Push the plug and injector rmly in place, replace the screen and hand tighten the injector cap.
REFILL FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY OR REFILL PORT PLUG:
To clean or replace the rell ow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight up on the elbow. Replace the
elbow locking clip in the slot so that it is not misplaced. Twist to remove the white ow control retainer. The ow control can
be removed by prying upward through the side slots of the retainer with a small blade at screwdriver.
Chemically clean the ow control or the white ow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulte or vinegar. DO NOT use a
wire brush. If necessary, replace the ow control, o-ring on the ow control retainer, or the o-ring on the elbow.
Reseat the ow control so the rounded end is visible in the ow control. Reseat the white ow control retainer by pushing
the retainer into the elbow until the o-ring seats. Remove locking clip, push down on elbow to reseat and insert locking clip.
DO NOT use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring on
the elbow or white retainer.
WATER METER OR METER PLUG:
The water meter assembly is connected to the PC board by a wire. If the entire water meter assembly is to be replaced,
remove the control valve cover and remove the power source and water meter plugs from the PC board. Unlatch the drive
assembly and lean it forward. Unthread the water meter wire from the side of the drive assembly and through the drive plate.
To reinstall, rethread the water meter wire through the drive back plate and the side if the drive assembly. Reattach the drive
assembly and the water meter and power plugs.
The water meter wire does not need to be removed from the PC board if the water meter is only being inspected and
cleaned. To remove the water meter assembly, unscrew the meter cap on the left side of the control valve. Pliers may be
used to unscrew the nut if necessary.
With the nut removed, a slot at the top of the water meter is visible. Twist a at blade screwdriver in the slot between the
control valve body and the meter. When the meter is part way out it is easy to remove the water meter from the housing.
Once the water meter is removed from the control valve body, use your ngers to gently pull forward on the turbine to
remove it from the shaft.
Do not use a wire brush to clean. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulte or vinegar. The turbine
can be immersed in the chemical. Do not immerse electronics. If the turbine is scored or damaged or the bearings on the
turbine are worn replace the turbine.
Do not lubricate the turbine shaft. The turbine shaft bearings are pre-lubricated. Do not use Vaseline, oils or other unacceptable
lubricants on the o-ring. A silicone may be used on the black o-ring.
Snap the turbine on the shaft and reinsert the water meter into the side slot. Hand tighten the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench
to tighten nut.
