INSTALLATION & START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Prosoft Elite Metered WATER
SOFTENER
Thank you for your purchase of a new Prosoft Elite
Metered water softener from Quality Water Treatment!
We have put together these instructions as a reference,
and they are to be used as a general installation
guideline.
Pre-Installation Guide
Before you assembly your new system, be sure that the
following conditions have been met for placement of your
system:
 Level, firm surface, such as concrete, on which to place the
softener tank and salt tank AKA Brine Tank
 Nearby floor drain or standpipe to connect to the softener for use during each
regeneration
 Standard US plug, 120v 60hz (the softener system includes a 5ft. power cord and plug. Be
sure the plug is not connected to a light switch
Make a list of all the plumbing fittings to completely install the unit
Typical is:
 Two - 3/4" or 1” male adaptors
 Eight - 90°elbows
 Amount of pipe you need
 1/2" drain line and 90°elbows
Adding the Resin to the Water Softener Tank
1. Position your new softener unit where you want it placed for use.
2. Inside the Softener tank you’ll find a 3/4" or 1" gray or white Pvc tube (called a
distributor tube.) If the tube does not already have a cap on the top use a pvc slip cap or
some duct tape to temporarily plug this tube (this is to keep the resin from going down the
tube.) If your system came with gravel, add the gravel first, then the resin. Use the included
special funnel when adding the resin. This will take about 10 minutes.

After adding the resin, remove the temporary cap, clean the valve threads with water, and screw
the valve on. When screwing the valve on the tank the tube will slip into the bottom of the valve
hole. Note no silicone or tape is needed, the valve is o’ring fit and only needs to be tightened by
hand.
MediaGuard KDF Filter Installation Guide:
After adding the resin, remove the temporary cap, clean the valve threads with water, attach
mediaguard filter to bottom of control valve then screw the control valve on to the tank as the
mediaguard filter slides over the distributor tube inside the tank. Note no silicone or tape is
needed, the valve is o’ring fit and only needs to be tightened by hand.

Assemble all tools needed to install the unit. Start your Installation. If copper, you need a
copper cutter, propane tank, soldering torch, flux, wire paper and lead free solder. An
average cost of $40.00 NOW THAT YOU HAVE ADDED THE RESIN AND CONNECTED THE
CONTROL VALVE TO THE TANK YOU ARE READY TO INSTALL, FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn off the main water shutoff valve.
2. Open all plumbing fixtures in the house including all outside faucets in order to drain the
lines. Unscrewing the aerator screen from your kitchen and bathroom faucets will help drain
the lines faster
3. Cut and remove a 4" section of the water line where the unit is to be installed.
4. Remove the two stainless steel clamps that are connected between the stainless steel bypass
valve and the plastic meter assembly, there is one clamp on each side. Remove the bypass
valve from the meter assembly by pulling it away from the meter assembly.
.
5. Leave the meter assembly in place.
6. We do not recommend applying heat from a soldering torch to solder copper pipe to your
new valve/meter assembly. To help with this:
 Solder a 3" to 5" piece of ¾" OR 1" copper pipe into each male adapter.

 Now that the pieces of ¾" OR 1" copper pipe are soldered into the adapters, wait until
they are cool enough to touch. Apply Teflon tape or Pipe joint compound to both male
threads, and thread them and tighten them into the By-pass valve before you attach it onto
the back of the valve/meter.
Re-attach the stainless bypass valve back onto the valve/meter assembly and secure it with
the two small stainless steel clamps.
7. Now position the water softener unit in place for final water line installation, making sure
the bypass valve is set in the "BYPASS"
8. FIRST, measure and cut the lengths of pipe you need to
plumb the main hard water line into your softener unit. Then do
the same for the soft water line that will exit from the softening
unit, back out into the house.
9. NOTE: The unit will be marked either on the back of the
valve body itself with the word "IN" and "OUT" or the top of the
body of the bypass valve assembly with arrows showing the direction of water flow into and
out of the valve. "Out: is the water entering your house after it has passed through the water
softener. BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE YOU PLUMB THE SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOOSE THE RESIN OUT OF THE TANK INTO YOUR
HOUSE LINES!
Use tephlon tape only and wrap around the threaded end of the drain line adaptor and
screw drain line adaptor into control show in photo below, then snug up with a small wrench.
Note: you do not have to tighten real tight doing so well crack the backwash assembly
housing.

Attaching your drain line: Note: Do not attach the drain line to the elbow on the brine tank
it will overflow the brine tank. Running the drain line to a house drain, where your washing
machine drain line goes is an excellent choice, if this is not possible then you can drain into
multiple areas, make sure you always leave an air gap if going into a pipe. An air gap is an
open area where there is no standing water. Your drain line can be elevated up to 5 feet
over and above where it comes out of the valve and you can run it up to 100 feet away.
Always follow local codes.
Slide a 1/2" hose clamp over drain line and then slide drain line over drain hose barb.
Slide hose clamp over barb and tube and tighten the hose clamp.
Plug your power cord into a nearby outlet.
Assembly of Brine tank:
The float assembly is a safety float; it only functions if there’s a failure in the control valve.
This will insure the brine tank won’t overflow with water. The safety float does not dictate the
water level in your brine tank. Measure from the top of the air check shown as # 1, 10" to
bottom of float show as #2 in photo below, you may have to gently push the float rod
through the rubber gametes to achieve this. Cut any existing rod off.

Slide the float assembly into the brine well shown in photo below and stick the stud into the
side hole on the brine well shown in photo below and secure it with the nut we supplied you.
Take the clear brine tubing that we supplied and slide it through the whole in the brine tank
and into the brine well.
Slip the plastic nut, and the two ferules one black and one white, over brine tubing then
push brass insert and screen into brine tubing as shown in photo below.
Insert tube into top fitting on float shown in photo below and hand tighten then snug it up
with a small wrench. Note: no tape is required this is a compression fitting.
Take the other end of tube slide the Nut and Farrell over it and
insert sleeve in to tube. Push the tube into the side of the control
valve show in photo below. Tighten by hand then snug it up with a
small wrench.

Programming the Prosoft Water Softener control valve:
A few simple steps must be followed to program the Prosoft Meter Valve.
It will be important to know what your water Hardness and Iron content is before doing this
programming procedure. If you do not know your water hardness or iron content you should
either look up your city water quality report by going to Google and typing in: water quality
report enter you water supply company or the city that you are in, or take a 8 oz sample to a
pool supply store or send one to us to have it tested.
Your Hardness test results may indicate GPG, PPM, or Mg/L. It is important to note that PPM
and Mg/L are the same measure and both figures can be treated interchangeably. If you get
a hardness figure in PPM or Mg/L, please divide this number by 17.1 to get Grains Per
Gallon “ GPG”
Iron results should also be measured in either PPM or Mg/L. Add your level of iron multiplied
by 3. Add this number to your hardness level. This figure will be your Total hardness content
that you will program into your softener system. Example if water hardness is 10 GPG and
the iron is 1 PPM or Mg/L take the iron content of 1 and x 3 = 3 GPG hardness plus 10
GPG = total compensated hardness 13 GPG
First plug in your Prosoft Valve to a nearby outlet.
