Boyett’s Family Rayne Water Conditioning is proud to be a dealer of the LINX 140 and LINX 140 T Residential
Drinking Water Systems (100-120V) with LINX Technology and Dial-a-Taste Mineral Level Control. If you need any
parts, filters or service –just give us a call [phone].
Dial-A-Taste® Mineral Level Control
The mineral level of the product water can be changed by turning the Dial-a-Taste control at the front of the unit.
Turning the dial clockwise increases mineral content. As the dial is turned, the blue and red LEDs will light-up for
several seconds to indicate the mineral level selected. None of the four LEDs will light-up when the dial is set to the
full clockwise position indicating that the highest mineral content is selected (-70% TDS reduction). One LED means
the second highest mineral level, two LEDs mean the middle level, three LEDs mean the second lowest level, and all
four LEDs mean the lowest mineral level is selected (>85% TDS reduction, full counter-clockwise dial position). After
the dial has been set, the LEDs indicating mineral level will turn off and resume their normal display. For the LINX
140 system, approximately one quart of water must be drawn before a change in mineral level is fully realized. For
the LINX 140T system, the tank must be emptied and refilled to observe the change.
When treating water comprising regulated contaminants, the Dial-a-Taste control should be set fully counter-
clockwise to maximize reduction of the regulated contaminant.
Section 5. Maintenance
LINX 100 TDS Cartridges, LINX 100 Sediment Filters, and LINX 100 or 110 Carbon Filters The LINX 140 and LINX
140T systems include three types of replaceable components:

Two L1NX 100 TDS cartridges
One LINX 100 Sediment filter
One LINX 100 or 110 Carbon filter (GAC).
The indicator lights let you know it is time to call for service (see Indicator Status Table in the previous section). The
LINX 100 Sediment and L1X 100 or 110 Carbon filters need replacement at 650 gallons, while the LNX 100 TDS
cartridges require,replacement at 1300 gallons. Some reduction in water flow rate maybe noticed near the end of filter
and cartridge life. Contact
your Authorized Dealer for service and replacement of cartridges and filters.
Drain Blockage Alarm
When treating hard water, scale may accumulate in the drain valves or drain line causing a plugged drain line. If a
drain plug is detected, the system will shut-down and all four indicator lights (blue and red) will blink in unison The
LYNX 140 model will also alarm (three lights blink) if a large leak to the drain from scale accumulation occurs. If either
alarm is observed, reset the system by repowering it. This is done by detaching and reattaching the power cord at the
rear of the LINX system. If the alarm occurs again, contact your Authorized Dealer for maintenance.
Section 6: Troubleshooting
Observation Causes/Remedies
No Water Flow•No power; unit not plugged into required 100-120V outlet.
No Green Power Light (under dial) •Fuse blown (6 A slow blow fuse).
Remedy –Replace fuse
Electronics failure.
Remedy –Call your Authorized Dealer
Four blue and red Indicator Lights •The system is conditioning the LINX 100 TDS cartridges; this process
takes
Flash right-left-right 90 minutes.
Clicking noise for 20 see, 30 minutes • The LINX system is cleaning its valves after the regeneration step –
this is
apart, for 2 hrs normal behavior
Product Water Flow On-Off •This is normal behavior to indicate regeneration is being interrupted

(Blue indicator light A or C flashing) (LINX 140 system only)
Low Flow Rate • Feed water pressure near low end of specified range (<20 psi).
(L1NX 140 system only) Remedy —Call your Authorized Dealer to install a booster pump
LINX 100 Sediment filter, LINX 100 or 110 Carbon filter, or LINX 100 TDS
cartridges clogged.
Remedy –Call your Authorized Dealer to replace filters and cartridges
No Product Water Flow •Faucet is mounted 13 ft or more above the LINX system
(Green light on; no indicator lights are Remedy –install the LINX system at <13ft below faucet
flashing when faucet is opened) •Tubing connections are incorrect
No Product Water Flow •Lid safety switch(es) not triggered
Indicator lights B, C and D flashing Remedy —Assure that both lid covers (blue) are in the proper place (see
section 3.1)
No Product Water Flow •Clogged drain line (drain valve(s) or tubing)
Indicator lights A, B, C and D flashing Remedy –If occurs again after re-powering, call Authorized Dealer
No Product Water Flow •Leak detected (LINX 140 Model only)
Indicator lights C and D flashing Remedy –If occurs again after re-powering, call Authorized Dealer
No Product Water Flow •External leak detected
Indicator lights A, B and D flashing •Remedy -Turn off the feed water and callAuthorized,Dealer

Excessive flow rate for feed TDS (wrong flow restrictor used)
LINX 100 TDS cartridges need replacement.
Warm Product Water (>7°F rise) •Regeneration completed recently (causes —10°F increase for first,
sample).
(L1NX 140 unit only) This is normal behavior
High feed water TDS at low flow rate
Leak Out Top of Cell Lid •LINX 100 TDS cartridge not completely inserted.
Remedy –Twist lids clockwise until they stop (main rib points front-back)
