Do not get primer or solvent on O-rings, nuts, or the valve.
System Recharge Cycles (9-Cycle Operation)
Service (Downflow):
Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up
through the riser tube. The hardness ions attach themselves
to the resin and are removed from the water. The water is
conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.
1. Brine Refill:
Water is directed to the salt tank at a controlled rate, to
create brine for the next recharge.
2. Brine Prep (Dissolve Salt)
After the refill cycle fills the salt tank with water, this cycle
allows time for the salt to dissolve into the water.
3. Backwash 1 (Upflow):
The flow of water is reversed by the control valve and
directed down the riser tube and up through the resin bed.
During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris
is flushed to the drain.
4. Brine Draw (Downflow):
The brine draw cycle takes place during the slow rinse
cycle. The control directs water through the brine injector
and brine is drawn from the salt tank. Brine draw is
completed when the air check in the salt tank closes.
5. Slow Rinse (Downflow):
The brine is directed down through the resin bed and up
through the riser tube to the drain. The hardness ions are
displaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The
resin is recharged during the brine cycle.
6. Repressurize Cycle (Hard Water Bypass Flapper Open):
This cycle closes the flappers for a short time to allow the
air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before
continuing the recharge.
7. Fast Rinse 1 (Downflow):
The control directs water down through the resin bed and
up through the riser tube to the drain. Any remaining brine
residual is rinsed from the resin bed.
8. Backwash 2 (Upflow):
The flow of water is reversed by the control valve and
directed down the riser tube and up through the resin bed.
During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris
is flushed to the drain.
9. Fast Rinse 2 (Downflow):
The control directs water down through the resin bed and
up through the riser tube to the drain. Any remaining brine
residual is rinsed from the resin bed.

Location Selection
Location of a water treatment system is important. The
following conditions are required:
• Level platform or floor.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding
salt to tank.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C) and below 120°F
(49°C).
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8.6 bar) and above
20 psi (1.4 bar).
• In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi (6.89
bar).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the controller.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three
meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system.
• Local drain for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves.
• Must meet any local, state and international codes for the
installation site.
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do
not support weight of system on the plumbing.
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before
attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the PRF1035CS system be installed
indoors. When the water conditioning system must be installed
outdoors, several items must be considered.
• Moisture — The valve and 706W controller are rated
for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not affect
performance.
The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity
or water spray from below. Examples are: constant heavy
mist, near corrosive environment, upwards spray from
sprinkler.
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will fade or discolor
over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the materials
will not degrade to cause system failures.
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures may
cause damage to the valve or controller.
Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve.
This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing.
High temperatures will affect the controller. The display
may become unreadable but the controller should
continue to function. When the temperature drops down
into normal operating limits the display will return to
normal.
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed to
keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas.
The top cover should be installed securely in place.

Water Line Connection
A bypass valve system is included and will be installed on all
water conditioning systems. Bypass valves isolate the softener
from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be
used. Service or routine maintenance procedures may also
require that the system is bypassed.
IMPORTANT: The bypass valve is shipped to you in the bypass
position (Figure 9 Series 360 Bypass Operation). When the
valve is in bypass water will not enter the softening tank. The
water in the building will not be treated. Figure 9 Series 360
Bypass Operation, shows the handles in the service position.
Once you have selected your location check the direction of
the water flow in the main pipe. Figure 9 Series 360 Bypass
Operation can be used to plan the new plumbing assembly.
Inspect the main water pipe. Write down the type of pipe
(copper, plastic, galvanized etc.). Record the size of the pipe.
Plastic style pipes usually have the size printed on the outside.
Other pipes can be measured for the outside diameter and
converted into the pipe size at the store. Do not use pipe that is
smaller than the main water pipe.
The bypass requires two connector fittings that connect to
the plumbing. Size to be determined for specific installation
requirements.
If the main plumbing is galvanized pipe and you are installing
copper pipe, then you must use dielectric insulating connectors
between the two styles of pipe.
Place the tank in position. The design of the tank does not
allow for bad alignment of the connections. You may ask your
supply store about flexible connections.
Take measurements and create a drawing of your installation.
Include pipe lengths and elbows that are needed. If the water
flow is from right to left you will need to cross the plumbing to
the softener. Take the drawing to your plumbing supply store.
Consult with their expert for installation ideas and suggestions.
Assemble the plumbing.
If pipes will be sweat soldered, do not connect
adapters to the bypass until the pipes have
cooled.

The inlet water must be connected to the inlet
port of the valve. When replacing
an existing system, it is possible that the inlet
and outlet plumbing is installed in a reverse
position. Be certain the inlet connection on the
valve is connected to the incoming water fitting
from the water supply.
Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when
connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100%
silicone grease products when installing any
plastic valve. Non-silicone grease may cause
plastic components to fail over time.
The bypass assembly connects to the water system by means
of a connector assembly. The connector is secured to the
plumbing and then inserted into the bypass. A clip is used to
hold it in place.
Figure 10 Connector Assembly
Before inserting the connector:
• Check that all O-rings are in place and not damaged.
• Lubricate O-rings and sliding surfaces with 100% silicone.
Firmly insert connector into bypass. Press locking clip into
position. Make certain the clip is fully engaged.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION continued
6 • Matrix System 368/706W

To remove a clip:
1. Turn off water and release water pressure at the valve.
2. Push the water line connectors into the bypass and valve.
This will help release O-rings that may have seated in
place.
3. Remove the clip by inserting a flat blade under the top
center of the clip and lifting (prying up).
CAUTION
Do not use pliers to remove a clip. It is likely the clip
will break.
NOTE: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two
handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will help
seat O-rings and prevent leaking.
Drain Line Flow Control
The drain line flow control (DLFC) 1/2" BSP requires assembly
(Figure 11).
1. Locate parts and a roll of plumber tape (not included).
2. Wrap the tape over threads of the flow control.
3. Screw the flow control and a proper size drain fitting
together. Hand tighten.
4. Place the ball into the flow control and insert the assembly
into the drain line opening.
5. Push the assembly in and secure with the drain line clip.

NOTE: Standard commercial practices are expressed here.
Local codes may require changes to the following
suggestions. Check with local authorities before
installing a system.
1. The unit should be above and not more than 20 feet (6.1 m)
from the drain. Use an appropriate adapter fitting with a
hose clamp to connect 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) plastic tubing to
the drain line connection of the control valve.
2. If the backwash flow rate exceeds 5 gpm (22.7 Lpm) or if
the unit is located 20-40 feet (6.1-12.2 m) from drain, use
3/4-inch (1.9 cm) tubing. Use appropriate fittings to connect
the 3/4-inch tubing to the 3/4-inch NPT drain connection on
valve.
3. The drain line may be elevated up to 6 feet (1.8 m) providing
the run does not exceed 15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure
at the softener is not less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). Elevation
can increase by 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional 10 psi (.69
bar) of water pressure at the drain connector.
4. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain
below the level of the control valve, form a 7 inch (18 cm)
loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop
is level with the drain line connection. This will provide an
adequate siphon trap.
Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-
type trap must be used.
Secure the end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.
Right Way
Figure 12 Drain Line Connection
NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlet shall be designed
and constructed to provide for connection to the
sanitary waste system through an air-gap of 2 pipe
diameters or
1 inch (22 mm) whichever is larger.
Never insert drain line directly into a drain,
sewer line, or trap (Figure 12 Drain Line
Connection). Always allow an air gap between
the drain line and the wastewater to prevent
the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned
into the softener.
Overflow Line Connection
In the event of a malfunction, the salt TANK OVERFLOW will
direct “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor.
This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet.
Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing (not supplied) to
fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher than
overflow fitting (Figure 13 Overflow Line Connection).
Do not tie into drain line of control unit. Overflow line must be
a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or
tub. Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions.

Salt Line Connection
The salt line from the brine tube connects to the valve. Make
certain the connections are hand tightened. Be sure that the
salt line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak
may cause the salt line to drain out, and the softener will not
draw salt from the tank. This may also introduce air into the
valve causing problems with valve operation.

CAUTION
This valve and control are for dry location use only
unless used with a Listed Class 2 power supply
suitable for outdoor use.
All 706W Series controllers operate on 12-volt alternating
current power supply. This requires use of the proper supplied
AC adapter included with your system.
AC Adapters:
Make sure power source matches the rating printed on the AC
adapter.
NOTE: The power source should be constant. Be certain
the AC adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power
interruptions longer than 8 hours may cause the
controller to lose the time setting. When power is
restored, the time setting must then be re-entered.
SYSTEM DISINFECTION
Disinfection Of Water Softeners
The materials of construction of the modern water softener
will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials
contaminate a water supply. During normal use, a softener
may become fouled with organic matter, or in some cases with
bacteria from the water supply. This may result in an off-taste
or odor in the water.
Some softeners may need to be disinfected after installation
and some softeners will require periodic disinfection during
their normal life.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of softener, the
type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice
can be made among the following methods.
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
Application
These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene
resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and bentonites.
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
These solutions are available under trade names such as
Clorox*. If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for
commercial laundries, adjust the dosage accordingly.
1. Dosage
A. Polystyrene resin; 1.2 fluid ounce per cubic foot (35.5 ml
per 0.03 cubic meter).
B. Non-resinous exchangers; 0.8 fluid ounce per cubic foot
(23.7 ml per 0.03 cubic meter).
2. Salt tank softeners
A. Backwash the softener and add the required amount
of hypochlorite solution to the well of the salt tank. The
salt tank should have water in it to permit the solution
to be carried into the softener.
B. Proceed with the normal recharge.
*Clorox is a trademark of the Clorox Company.
Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in
several forms including tablets and granules. These solid
materials may be used directly without dissolving before use.
1. Dosage
A. Two grains, approximately 0.1 ounce per cubic foot
(3 ml per 0.03 cubic meter).
2. Salt tank softeners
A. Backwash the softener and add the required amount of
hypochlorite to the well of the salt tank. The salt tank
should have water in it to permit the chlorine solution to
be carried into the softener.
B. Proceed with the normal recharge.

GENERAL 706W SERIES INSTRUCTIONS
706W Series Controller
Power Loss Memory Retention
The 706W Series controllers feature battery-free time and
date retention during the loss of power. This is designed to
last a minimum of 8 hours depending on the installation.
The controller will continue to keep time and day in dynamic
memory while there is no AC power.
The controller will not track water usage in the event of a
power failure.
All programmed parameters are stored in the 706W Series
static memory and will not be lost in the event of a power
failure. These settings are maintained separately from the time
and day settings.
Motor
The 706W series controller uses a standard 12-volt AC
50/60 Hz motor.
Power
706W Series controller is available in 50/60 Hz power
configuration:
Information entered or calculated by the controller is stored in
two different ways.
1. A static memory will store:
User programmed values
Salt setting (salt setting)
Hardness setting
Daily averages (history values)
2. A dynamic memory with 8 hour retention will store:
Time of day
Today's water used
Variable Reserve Function
The 706W Series metered-demand volumetric controller
is designed to have a variable reserve feature. This feature
automatically adjusts the reserve to the end-user’s water
usage schedule.
A variable reserve saves salt and water by only regenerating
when absolutely necessary, and ensures enough soft water for
typical high-water usage days.
Each day the controller reviews the last four weeks of water
usage for the same day of the week to determine if the
remaining capacity is adequate for the next day of the week.
If the remaining capacity is not adequate, it will initiate an
automatic recharge.
NOTE: Water flow to the valve can be turned on or bypassed
when the controller is powered up for the first time.

Sd: This setting uses moderate amount of salt and provides
a medium amount of water between recharges. This setting
can be used for moderate water hardness or water usage.
HE: This setting minimizes salt usage for a recharge (uses
the least amount of salt) and provides the least amount of
water between recharges. This setting can be used if you
have low water hardness or low water usage.
3. Water Hardness - Press and release to display the current
hardness setting for five seconds. Press button again while
current setting is displayed to increment the hardness by
one. Press and hold for two seconds to rapidly increment
the hardness setting.
A hardness setting too high will cause the system to
recharge more often and use more salt and water than
what is needed to condition your water.
A hardness setting too low will cause the system to
recharge less often. The system may pass hard water
shortly before it recharges.
4. Recharge - Press and release to initiate a recharge. A
recharge will start at the next scheduled time of recharge
(00:00). A flashing regen symbol will be displayed. To stop
a manual recharge press and release the recharge button
a second time. To start an immediate recharge, press and
hold the recharge button for three seconds. A solid regen
symbol will be displayed. The time display will show the
amount of time left in the recharge cycle.
During a recharge cycle (the recharge icon is on steady), a
second manual (delayed) recharge may be called for. Press
the recharge button and release. To stop a second manual
recharge press and release the recharge button a second
time.
During a recharge cycle (the regen icon on steady), a
second manual (immediate) recharge may be called for.
Press the recharge button a second time for three seconds.
A second immediate recharge can not be stopped.
NOTE: If a button is not pushed for five seconds, the
controller returns to normal operation mode.

10 • Matrix System 368/706W

706W SERIES INITIAL POWER-UP
The water supply valve should be off or the valve is in by-pass
Initial Power-Up - (Camshaft proceeds to HOME position)
• At initial power-up, the camshaft may need to rotate to
the HOME (in service) position.
• Camshaft may take 1 to 2 minutes to return to HOME
position.
• Err 3 will be displayed until the camshaft returns to
HOME position (Figure 18 Initial Power-Up Display).
• If more than 2 minutes elapses, verify that the motor
is turning the camshaft. If it is not turning, check the
“Troubleshooting” section.
Figure 18 Initial Power-Up Display
When the camshaft has reached the HOME (service) position
the display will show “- -:- -”.
If the time of day alternating with capacity remaining is
displayed then the controller has used short term memory
to load settings. Short term memory will hold settings for
approximately eight hours. Settings include:
• Water used today
• Water used since last recharge
• Current time of day
• Recharge state
Unprogrammed controls will have the following settings.
Default settings:
• Hardness - 250 ppm
• Salt setting - HE, High efficiency
• System will recharge every 7 days (calendar override)
even if no water is used. Unplug system for long
periods of no water usage. Calendar override is not
programmable.
In addition:
• Water used is set to 0
• The internal system clock is set to 8:00 AM. The display
continues to show “- -:- -” until the time is manually set
which updates the internal clock.
• A recharge will initiate when the internal system clock
reaches 00:00 . The regen icon will flash.
INITIAL START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set time of day - Press the Time of Day button. Press it again
within 5 seconds and the time will increment. Press and
hold for 2 seconds to rapidly increment the setting. Release
the button and the time will be saved after
5 seconds.
Figure 19 Step 1
2. Pick the salt setting - The controller starts (defaults) with
the HE (high efficiency) setting. If you want to check or
change the setting, press the Salt Amount button to display
the current setting. To change it, press the Salt Amount
button again within 5 seconds. The new setting will be
saved after 5 seconds.
HC: This setting maximizes the system capacity between
recharges and will also use the most salt. This setting can be
used if you have high water hardness or high water usage.
Example: 3 or more people and/or hardness above 250 ppm.
Sd: This setting will provide a mid-range capacity. Less salt
is used than the HC (High Capacity), setting. More water
between recharges is provided than when the HE (High
Efficiency) setting is used. Use this setting if the conditioner
is running out of capacity when set to HE. This setting is
also used if the HC setting is providing too much capacity.
Use this setting if your usage or water hardness fall
between the HC and HE examples.
HE: This setting minimizes salt used for a recharge (uses
the least amount of salt) and provides the least amount of
water between recharges. This setting can be used if you
have low water hardness or low water usage. Example: 2 or
less people and/or hardness below 343 ppm.
Figure 20 Step 2
3. Enter the hardness of the water - The controller starts
(defaults) at a hardness of 250 ppm. Check your water for
the actual hardness. Press the Water Hardness button to
display the current settings. To change the setting press
the button again within 5 seconds. To rapidly increase the
setting push and hold the Water Hardness button. Release
the button and the setting will be saved after 5 seconds. A
hardness setting too high will cause the system to recharge
more often and use more salt and water than what is
needed to soften your water. A hardness setting too low will
cause the system to recharge less often. The system may
pass hard water shortly before it recharges.
Figure 21 Step 3
Programming is complete. The controller will begin normal
operation if no button is pushed for 5 seconds.
During normal operation (Service mode) the display will
show the current time of day with the colon blinking. This will
alternate with a display of the gallons remaining to be treated
before recharge.

PLACING SOFTENER INTO OPERATION
After you have performed the previous initial power-up steps,
you will need to place the softener into operation. Follow these
steps carefully.
If the inlet water valve is opened too rapidly
or too far, media may be lost out of the tank
into the valve or the plumbing. In the 1/4 open
position, you should hear air slowly escaping
from the valve drain line.
NOTE: We recommend that you do not put salt into the
tank until after the control valve has been put into
operation. With no salt in the tank, it is much easier to
view water flow and motion in the tank.
NOTE: As you advance through each cycle there will be a
slight delay before you can advance to the next cycle.
The hourglass icon will light while the camshaft is
indexing.
Press and hold the Recharge key to start a recharge.
To Advance Recharge Cycles:
• Simultaneously press Time of Day and Recharge to
advance to the next cycle. An hourglass will display while
cam is advancing.
When Cam reaches the next cycle, Time Remaining will
be displayed.
• Repeat pressing Time of Day and Recharge to advance
through each cycle.
• To determine which cycle the controller is in during a
recharge, use Table 1. The time remaining is displayed on
the controller. Find the time remaining below your salt
setting. The cycle column will have the cycle number.
• Press and hold Time of Day and Recharge for 3 seconds to
advance through all remaining recharge cycles.
Hourglass will flash.
Camshaft will advance to service - may take 1 to
2 minutes.
• For cycle times see Table 1.
Before turning on the water supply check the following:
• All plumbing is installed and secured.
• The valve drain line is in place and the end is held
securely at the drain.
• There is no salt in the tank.
• The controller is on and has been programmed following
the three steps. The display should be showing the time of
day with the colon flashing.
• The inlet water is off and the bypass is not in bypass
Both valve
handles pointing
in direction of
water flow
If any of the above are not true please correct the item before
proceeding further.
The following steps will describe how to perform a quick
recharge to verify the system is working correctly.
1. Turn the incoming water on at a low flow position. Listen
to the water flow. Water is entering the media tank. Do not
open the valve completely because media may enter the
valve.
2. Start a recharge.
3. Open a service faucet. The salt tank will begin to fill with
water. Air will come out of the faucet. After all of the air has
left the media tank the water will run without air spurts.
When the salt tank has 3 to 4 inches (7.6 or 10.1 cm) of
water, turn off the faucet and advance to the next cycle.
4. Turn inlet water on full.
5. The brine prep cycle allows the water in the salt tank
to dissolve the salt. During this cycle inspect for leaks.
If any leaks are present they should be repaired before
proceeding. If there are no leaks, advance to the next cycle.
6. Backwash forces water through the media to the drain.
Inspect the water for air bubbles and small particles. When
the water is running clear, advance to the next cycle.
7. Brine draw and slow rinse run at the same time. The
discharge to drain will slow down. The water in the salt tank
will lower. If water is leaving the salt tank, advance to the
next cycle.
8. The repressurize cycle is short and allows internal system
pressures to stabilize. After 1-2 minutes advance to the
next cycle.
9. Fast rinse is a full pressure rinse of the media in the tank.
The discharge to drain should be high. Advance to the next
cycle.
10. Backwash 2 is a second backwashing of the media tank.
Discharge to drain will be slow. Advance to the next cycle.
11. Fast rinse 2 is the last cycle in the recharge process. Flow
to drain will be high. This cycle is 1 min long. Allow this
cycle to complete and advance to Service.
The controller will start the first time with a recharge
scheduled to start at the normal time of recharge. The media in
the tank will function properly until that first recharge.
Fill the salt tank with softener salt. The display should be
showing the current time of day and the colon will be flashing.
The system is fully operational.
During normal operation (Service mode) the display will
show the current time of day with the colon blinking. This will
alternate with a display of the capacity remaining.

Things You Might Need to Know
• When the controller is first plugged in, it may display a
flashing hourglass and the message Err 3, this means
that the controller is rotating the camshaft to the home
position.
• The preset default time of recharge is 00:00.
• The 706W Series controller is programmed to recharge
if a recharge has not taken place in the last 7 days. This
setting cannot be changed.
• Make sure control power source is plugged in. The
transformer should be connected to a non-switched
power source.
• Unless changed, the settings for a newly installed system
are:
Hardness - 250 ppm
Salt Setting - HE (High Efficiency)
Water Used Settings - 0 cubic meters
Internal System clock starts at 8:00 AM
The first recharge will occur when the system clock

All Systems above tested at 35psi +/- 5 psi, pH of 7.5 +/- 0.5, Capacity Testing Flow Rate = 50% of the rated service flow rate for
the various size systems.
These water softener systems have been tested by WQA and conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for specific
performance claims as verified and substantiated by test data. The rated salt efficiencies above were
also determined in accordance with NSF/ANSI 44 and are only valid at the salt dosage referenced above.
An efficiency rated water softener is a demand initiated regeneration (DIR) softener which also complies
with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water
used in its operation. Efficiency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt efficiency of not less that
3350 grains of total hardness exchanged per pound of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams of
total hardness exchanged per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating. The
rated efficiency of the water softener, the salt dosage at that efficiency, the capacity at that salt dosage
and that of the efficiency is only valid at the stated salt dosage. Efficiency is measured by a laboratory test
described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible efficiency the system can achieve.
Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved 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 water softener’s capacity. These systems are not intended to be used
for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Refer to the system Installation and Service Manals for set-up and programming
instructions.
