HOW YOUR WATER CONDITIONER WORKS
Water softeners remove hardness in the water by exchanging particles in the water, or ions. They remove hard ions such as calcium and magnesium in the water by trading it
for sodium ions producing soft water. Unlike the calcium and magnesium, sodium stays dissolved in water and does not form a scale. Sodium also does not interfere with the
cleaning action of soaps. The sodium is released by a charged resin contained in the softener, this resin also traps the calcium and magnesium ions. Eventually this resin releases
all of its sodium and has filled up with other ions, so it then must be regenerated. Regeneration is accomplished by washing the resin with a salt saturated brine solution that
removes the calcium and magnesium while replenishing the sodium. This is why the softener requires a brine tank and salt. The water softener can run for days before running
out of sodium, and when it does, the sodium is replenished in only a matter of a few hours
When using a softener to remove both hardness and dissolved iron it is important that it regenerates more frequently than ordinarily would be calculated for hardness removal
alone. Although many factors and formulas have been used to determine this frequency, it is recommended that the softener be regenerated when it has reached 50–75% of the
calculated hardness alone capacity. This will minimize the potential for bed fouling.
If you are operating a water softener on clear water iron, regular resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the bed from coating with iron. Even when operating a softener on water
with less than the maximum of dissolved iron, regular cleanings should be performed. Clean every six months or more often if iron appears in your conditioned water supply. Use
resin bed cleaning compounds carefully following the directions on the container.
Precision Brining: Precision brining means that your conditioner calculates the exact
amount of brine required to regenerate saving up to 30% more salt
When your conditioner regenerates it will display 2 numbers for capacity 1 will be total
capacity the other will be 70 % of capacity.The unit counts down to the end of the
70% then calculates how much of the 30% you used (your reserve) it then adjusts the
brine amount accordingly and regenerates that evening.This feature means that your
capacity will always be dierent after every regeneration therefore maximizing your
salt use.
Soft Water Recharge for High Usage: Should you reach the 70% capacity and
then go beyond the 30% before it is time to regenerate the conditioner will do a quick
regeneration to restore limited capacity to get it through the remainder of the day.
System Refresh: If you are away for an extended period of time the Conditioner
does a refresh cycle to prevent any chance of bacterial growth or stagnation inside the
conditioner.
Scrolling Diagnostics: By pressing any button to light the LCD display the unit will
automatically begin scrolling important information for diagnostic purposes

BEFORE INSTALLATION
Make sure you have a copy of your most recent water test results. If your water has not been tested previously you can contact
your supplier of this product to obtain a water sample bottle to be sent to one of our facilities for a free analysis. It is important
that this product not be installed until you have this information.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve or by physical
separation, an approved ground clamp with no less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity, to maintain proper
metallic pipe bonding.
Inspecting and Handling Your 75 Softener*
Inspect the equipment for any shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage
inspection. Damage to cartons should also be noted.
Handle the filter unit with care. Damage can result if it is dropped or set on sharp, uneven projections on the floor.
Do not turn the filter unit upside down.
To Insure this Product Functions Properly:
Your feed water line size to the unit must be a minimum of 3/4 inch with an operating pressure of no less than 30
psi and no more than 125 psi.
MECHANICAL:
Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, oils or hydrocarbon based lubricants.Use only 100% silicone
lubricants (grease packet provided in parts kit). All plastic connections should be hand tightened only. Teflon tape may be used
on connections that do not use an O-ring seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches except where indicated by Nut shape (eg. pipe
adapters) All plumbing must be completed according to local codes. Soldering connections should be done before connecting
any pieces to the pipe as excessive heat can damage them.
Tools Required for Installation:
NOTE: We recommend installation only be completed by a competent installer or
plumbing professional to insure this product is installed in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
sTwo adjustable wrenches
sAdditional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing is required.
sPlastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the filter. To maintain full valve flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to and from the
filter fittings are recommended. You should maintain the same, or larger, pipe size as the water supply pipe, up to the filter
inlet and outlet.
sUse copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fittings.
sSome codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe.
sALWAYS install the included bypass valve, or 3 shut-off valves. Bypass valves let you turn off water to the filter for repairs if
needed, but still have water in the house pipes.
s5/8” OD drain line is needed for the valve drain. A 10’ length of hose is not included with some brands.
NOTE
All government codes and
regulations governing the
installation of these devices
must be observed.
NOTE
If a severe loss in water
pressure is observed when
the filter unit is initially
placed in service, the filter
tank may have been laid on
its side during transit. If this
occurs, backwash the filter
to “reclassify” the media.
*NOTE
Due to transportation
and climatic conditions all
connections including the
valve to the tank need to be
checked at time of
installation and tightened if
necessary.
NOTE
Check your local electrical
code for the correct clamp
and cable size.
CAUTION!
If the ground from the
electrical panel or breaker
box to the water meter or
underground copper pipe
is tied to the copper water
lines and these lines are cut
during installation of the No-
ryl bypass valve and/or poly
pipe, an approved grounding
strap must be used between
the two lines that have been
cut in order to maintain
continuity. The length of the
grounding strap will depend
upon the number of units
being installed and/or the
amount of copper pipe being
replaced with plastic pipe.

c) Fill support bed first. The media will not
always spill down inside the tank and may
need to be swept inside.The large funnel
(sold separately makes lling the tank easier
and neater. (Or an empty 1 gallon or 4 liter
container with the bottom cut out makes a

Inlet
Outlet
Water Lines
Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply softened water. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply hard water to the inlet of
the water softener and to the outside faucets. Cut the water line between where it enters the house and before any lines that branch o to feed the hot water heater or other
xtures in the house and as near the desired location of the water softener as possible. Install a tee tting on the feed end of the cut pipe, and an elbow tting on the other end.
Install piping from the tee to the inlet of the water softener and from the elbow to the outlet of the softener. To sever the water lines which branch o to feed any outside faucets,
cut the branch lines approximately two inches from the tting on the main water line. Install an elbow on the end of the pipe nearest the outside faucet and a cap on the end
connected to the existing water line. Install piping from the tee installed on the inlet line to the water softener to the elbow installed on the pipe to the outside faucet. Following
this procedure will result in all lines in the house, with the exception of the outside faucets, but including the water heater and therefore the hot water lines, being supplied with
soft water.
NOTE
If the plumbing system is
used as the ground leg of
the electric supply, conti-
nuity should be maintained
by installing ground straps
around any nonconductive
plastic piping used in
installation.
NOTE
Before starting installation,
read page 16, Plumbing
System Clean-Up, for in-
structions on some proce-
dures that may need to be
performed first.
Facts to Remember When Planning Your Installation
1. All installation procedures must conform to local and state or provincial plumbing codes.
2. Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply untreated water, replace untreated water with feed water
to the unit. If necessary to do this please install check valve, see page 14. A new water line is often required to be connected to
supply untreated water to the inlet of the water softener and to the outside faucets.
3. Make sure the bypass is attached well to the control valve. Connect the straight or elbow connectors to the bypass with red
clips. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water softener to the plumbing of the house. The control valve must not be submitted
to temperatures above 43°C (110°F). When sweat ttings are used, to avoid damaging the control valve, solder the threaded
copper adapters to the copper pipe and then, using Teon tape, screw the assembly into the bypass valve.
Do not use pipe thread compound as it may attack the material in the valve body.
4. Apply Teon Tape and Orings to the ttings
5. Connect Softener to the house plumbing. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the
valve. Always leave at least 6”(152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve.
Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve.
6. Drain Line connection: UsingTeon tape, screw the 1/2”hose barb and attach oring into the drain port in the valve. Attach
1/2”drain hose (Supplied with some models and brands) to the hose barb and tighten securely with a hose clamp (Supplied
with some models and brands). Run the drain line to a oor drain or a laundry drain. Complete any necessary plumbing.
7. Using the Allen Key (included), place the unit in the bypass position. Slowly turn on the main water supply. At the nearest cold
treated water tap nearby remove the faucet screen, open the faucet and let water run a few minutes or until the system is free
of any air or foreign material resulting from the plumbing work.
8. Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system before proceeding. Close the water tap when water runs clean.
9. Open the brine tank / cabinet salt lid and add water until there is approximately 3”(75 mm) of water in the tank. Do not add
salt to the brine tank at this time.
Determine the best location for your water softener, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line and 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the
softener to freezing or temperatures above 43°C (110°F) will void the warranty.
PREPARATIONS
Please notice the inlet and outlet labels on the valve as shown here to
determine the position of the equipment:

a) Attach the three brine grid legs to grid plate.The
legs will snap on to the tabs of the salt plate making
a“click”sound. For square brine tank there are four
legs.)
c) Drop the brine grid with brine well inside the
brine tank such that the nut tting faces the
hole on the brine tank. Then press the grid
evenly inside the brine tank until the brine grid
legs touches the bottom of the brine tank.
b) Insert the brine well assembly inside the grid
plate as well below.
d) Take the brine tube and insert the nut and plastic sleeve as
shown below.
e) Insert the tube in the oat assembly elbow and hand tighten
the nut. In many cases the brine line already come installed
from the factory. Leave the other end of the brine line tube
inside the brine tank
f)For installation of brine tank at the installation site, pull the
other end of the brine tube from the hole on the brine tank.
The completed assembly is shown below.
The hole in
the brine tank
should line up
with the brine
line as shown
for round and
square brine
tank.

The unit will automatically
fill the water to the correct level
when it regenerates.
Start up and
programming
complete. Unit is
now operational.
4a. Open the inlet on the bypass valve slowly and allow water to enter the unit. (The outlet of the bypass should remain closed to prevent any nes or debris from entering the
plumbing system. Allow all air to escape from the unit before turning the water on fully then allow water to run until the drain water appears to be clear of any nes.
4b. Plug in the valve. Allow the valve to continue its cycles until complete and back in service. Do not manually shorten this cycle as it is critical to have the valve go through all
cycles normally to purge all air from the control valve for the upow injection system to work correctly.
4c. TheValve is already programmed from factory. Please set up date and time of day and feedwater hardness as shown below:
NOTE** All units are factory programmed for the correct size and regeneration cycle, alteration should only be done by a factory
