WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate
effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are
available. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is built up
heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit should be
installed ahead of the water softener.
LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN: The softener should be located close to a drain to prevent air breaks and
back flow.
BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped with one.
CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 120 p.s.i., water temperature is not to exceed 110˚F, and the unit cannot be
subjected to freezing conditions.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a firm base.
2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a
minimum of 1/2”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 3/4” drain line.
3. The 1” distributor tube (1.050 O.D.) should be cut flush with top of each tank.
4. Lubricate the distributor o-ring seal and tank “o” ring seal. Place the main control valve on tank. Note: Only use
silicone lubricant.
5. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC). Leave at
least 6” between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC. Failure to do
this could cause interior damage to the DLFC.
6. Teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain fitting.
7. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level.
8. Place approximately 1” of water above the grid plate. If a grid is not utilized, fill to the top of the air check in the salt
tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
9. On units with a by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap
nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have
resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.
10. Slowly place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly
open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.
11. Plug unit into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be
certain the outlet is uninterrupted).

start-up instructions
Page 4
The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet and drain connections made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations and to meet applicable plumbing codes.
1. Remove control box cover.
2. Make “Time of Day” setting and set “Program Wheel”. (See time control instructions). Rotate program wheel
counter clockwise until it stops at regeneration position.
3. Observe regeneration cycle settings. Arrange cycle times as determined in “Item 4” on “Page 2”.
4. Add three inches of water to brine tank.
5. Note: To set the control to the various positions noted below. Turn the manual regeneraton knob slowly in a
clockwise direction until the Program Micro Switch lifts on top of the first set of pins. Allow the drive motor to move
the piston to the first regeneration step and stop. Each time the Program Switch position changes, the valve will
advance to the next regeneration step. Always allow the motor to stop before moving to the next set of pins or
spaces. (See “Timer Program” instructions).
Control Valve Positions:
a. Service Drive shaft out
b. Backwash Drive shaft in
c. Brine / Slow Rinse Drive shaft 1/2 way out
d. Rapid Rinse Drive shaft 3/4 way out
e. Brine Tank Fill Drive shaft out but brine cam holds brine valve stem in.
6. Position valve to backwash and check to make sure that drain line flow remains steady for ten (10) minutes or until
clear (see above).
7. Position valve to brine / slow rinse position and check to see that the unit is drawing water from brine tank (this step
may need repeating).
8. Position valve to rapid rinse and check the drain line flow, run for 5 min. or until the water is clear. (Note: Rapid
rinse and backwash flow rates should be the same).
9. Position valve to start of brine tank fill cycle. See that water goes into the brine tank at proper rate. Brine valve drive
cam will hold valve in at this position to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
10. Replace control box cover.
11. Put salt in brine tank (do not use granulated or rock salt).

How To Set Days On Which Water
Conditioner Is To Regenerate:
Rotate the skipper wheel until the number “1” is at the red
pointer. Set the days that regeneration is to occur by sliding
tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers.
Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving
clockwise from the red pointer, extend or retract fingers to
obtain the desired regeneration schedule.
How To Set The Time Of Day:
Press and hold the red button in to disengage the drive gear.
Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is at the time
of day pointer.
Release the red button to again engage the drive gear.
How To Manually Regenerate Your Water
Conditioner At Any Time:
Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise.
This slight movement of the manual regeneration knob
engages the program wheel and starts the regeneration
program.
The black center knob will make one revolution in the
following approximately three hours and stop in the position
shown in the drawing.
Even thought it takes three hours for this center knob to
complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of your unit
might be set only one half of this time.
In any event, conditioned water may be drawn after rinse
water stops flowing from the water conditioner drain line.
How to Adjust Regeneration Time:
1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Locate the three screws behind the manual regeneration
knob by pushing the red button in and rotating the 24
hour dial until each screw appears in the cut out portion
of the manual regeneration knob.
3. Loosen each screw slightly to release the pressure on
the time plate from the 24 hour gear.
4. Locate the regeneration time pointer on the inside of the
24 hour dial in the cut out.
5. Turn the time plate so the desired regeneration time
aligns next to the raised arrow.
6. Push the red button in and rotate the 24 hour dial.
Tighten each of the three screws.
7. Push the red button and locate the pointer one more
time to ensure the desired regeneration time is correct.
8. Reset the time of day and restore power to the unit.

SALT LEVEL MUST ALWAYS BE ABOVE WATER LEVEL IN BRINE TANK.
How To Set Regeneration Cycle Program:
The regeneration cycle program on your water
conditioner has been factory preset, however, portions of
the cycle or program may be lengthened or shortened in
time to suit local conditions.
To expose cycle program wheel, grasp timer in upper
left-hand corner and pull, releasing snap retainer and
swinging timer to the right.
To change the regeneration cycle program, the program
wheel must be removed. Grasp program wheel and
squeeze protruding lugs towards center, lift program
wheel off timer. (Switch arms may require movement to
facilitate removal.)
How To Change The Length Of The Backwash Time:
The program wheel as shown in the drawing is in the
service position. As you look at the numbered side of the
program wheel, the group of pins starting a zero
determines the length of time your unit will backwash.
FOR EXAMPLE: If there are six pins in this section, the
time of backwash will be 12 min. (2 min. per pin). to
change the length of backwash time, add or remove pins
as required. The number of pins times two equals the
backwash time in minutes. (Note: Do not add pins
before “0” minutes designation.)
How To Change The Length of Brine and Rinse Time:
The group of holes between the last pin in the backwash
section and the second group of pins determines the
length of time that your unit will brine and rinse. (2 min.
per hole.)
To change the length of brine and rinse time, move the
rapid rinse group of pins to give more or fewer holes in
the brine and rinse section. Number of holes times two
equals brine and rinse time in minutes.
How To Change The Length Of Rapid Rinse:
The second group of pins on the program wheel
determines the length of time that your water conditioner
will rapid rinse. (2 min. per pin.)
To change the length of rapid rinse time, add or remove
pins at the higher numbered end of this section as
required. The number of pins times two equals the rapid
rinse time in minutes.
How To Change The Length Of Brine Tank Refill Time:
The second group of holes on the program wheel
determines the length of time that your water conditioner
will refill the brine tank. (2 min. per hole.)
To change the length of refill time, move the two pins at
the end of second group of holes as required.
The regeneration cycle is complete when the outer micro-
switch is tripped by the two pin set at end of the brine tank
refill section. The program wheel, however, will continue
to rotate until the inner micro-switch drops into the notch
on the program wheel.
Return timer to closed position engaging snap retainer in
back plate. make certain all electrical wires locate above
snap retainer post.
