1.2 Installation
All plumbing and electrical connections must conform
to local codes.
Inspect unit carefully for carrier shortage or shipping
damage.
Location Selection
1. The distance between the unit and a drain should be
as short as possible.
2. If it is likely that supplementary water treatment
equipment will be required, make certain adequate
additional space is available.
3. Since salt must be added periodically to the brine
tank, the location should be easily accessible.
4. Do not install any unit closer to a water heater than
a total run of 10 feet (3 m) of piping between the
outlet of the conditioner and the inlet to the heater.
Water heaters can sometimes overheat to the
extent they will transmit heat back down the cold
pipe into the unit control valve.
Hot water can severely damage the conditioner. A
10-foot (3-m) total pipe run, including bends,
elbows, etc., is a reasonable distance to help
prevent this possibility. A positive way to prevent
hot water flowing from heat source to the
conditioner, in the event of a negative pressure
situation, is to install a check valve in the soft
water piping from the conditioner. If a check valve
is installed, make certain the water heating unit
is equipped with a properly rated temperature
and pressure safety relief valve. Also, be
certain that local codes are not violated.
5. Do not locate unit where it or its connections
(including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be
subjected to room temperatures under 34oF (1oC)
or over 120oF (49oC).
6. Do not install unit near acid or acid fumes.
7. The use of resin cleaners in an unvented enclosure
is not recommended.
Water Line Connection
The installation of a bypass valve system is
recommended to provide for occasions when the water
conditioner must be bypassed for hard water or for
servicing.
The most common bypass systems are the Autotrol
Series 1265 bypass valve (Figure 1.1) and plumbed-in
globe valves (Figure 1.2). Though both are similar in
function, the Autotrol Series 1265 bypass offers
simplicity and ease of operation.
Figure 1.1 - Autotrol Series 1265 Bypass Valve
Figure 1.2 - Typical Globe Valve Bypass System
Drain Line Connection
Note: Standard commercial practices are expressed
here. Local codes may require changes to the following
suggestions.
1. Ideally located, the unit will be above and not more
than 20 feet (6.1 m) from the drain. For such
installations, using an appropriate adapter fitting,
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 more than 20 feet
(6.1 m) from drain, use 3/4-inch (1.9-cm) tubing for
runs up to 40 feet (12.2 m). Also, purchase
appropriate fitting to connect the 3/4-inch tubing to
the 3/4-inch NPT drain connection.
3. If the unit is located where the drain line must be
elevated, you may elevate the line up to 6 feet
(1.8 m) providing the run does not exceed
15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure at conditioner is
not less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). You may elevate an
additional 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional
10 psi (0.69 bar).

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.
5. Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer
line, a sink-type trap must be used.
IMPORTANT: Never insert drain line into a drain, sewer
line or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drain
line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of
sewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner.
Figure 1.3
Note: Standard commercial practices have been
expressed here. Local codes may require changes to
these suggestions.
Brine Line Connection
It will be necessary to install the brine line for a
Performa Cv softener to the brine fitting on the valve
(3/8-inch NPT).
Be sure all fittings and connections are tight.
Overflow Line Connection
In the absence of a safety overflow and in the event of
a malfunction, the BRINE TANK OVERFLOW will direct
“overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor
where it could cause considerable damage. This fitting
should be on the side of the cabinet or brine tank.
To connect overflow, locate hole on side of brine tank.
Insert overflow fitting (not supplied) into tank and
tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown
(Figure 1.4). 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 3 inches (7.6 cm)
below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not tie into drain

separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or

1.3 Placing Performa Cv Softener/Filter
into Operation
After all previous steps have been completed, the unit
is ready to be placed into operation. Follow these steps
carefully.
1. Remove control valve cover by first depressing the
plastic clips from the front of the cover. Pull front of
cover up.
Note: The following steps will require turning the
cycle indicator to various positions. Manually
rotate the camshaft COUNTERCLOCKWISE only
until cycle indicator points to desired position.
(See manual regeneration sections for each
control’s manual operation.)
2. Rotate cycle indicator COUNTERCLOCKWISE
until it points directly to the word BACKWASH.
3. Fill media tank with water.
a. With water supply off, place the bypass valve(s)
into the “service” position.
b. Open water supply valve very slowly to
approximately the 1/4 open position.
IMPORTANT: If opened too rapidly or too far, media
may be lost. In the 1/4 open position, you should hear
air escaping slowly from the drain line.
Softener
a. When all of the air has been purged from the
tank (water begins to flow steadily from the
drain), open the main supply valve all the way.
b. Allow water to run to drain until clear.
c. Turn off water supply and let the unit stand for
about five minutes. This will allow all trapped air
to escape from the tank.
4. Add water to brine tank (initial fill).
With a bucket or hose, add approximately
4 gallons (15 liters) of water to brine tank. If the
tank has a salt platform above the bottom of the
tank, add water until the level is approximately
1 inch (25 mm) above the platform.
5. Place the conditioner into operation.
a. With the water supply valve completely open,
carefully advance the cycle indicator
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the center of the
BRINE REFILL position. Hold at this position
until water starts to flow through the brine line
into the brine tank. Do not run for more than
two minutes.
b. Advance the cycle indicator
COUNTERCLOCKWISE until it points to the
center of the BRINE/SLOW RINSE position.
c. With the conditioner in this position, check to
see if water is being drawn from the brine tank.
The water level in the brine tank will recede very
slowly. Observe water level for at least three
minutes. If the water level does not recede, or if
it goes up, reference the Troubleshooting
section.
d. Advance the cycle indicator
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the
REGENERATION COMPLETE position and
run water from a nearby faucet until the water is
clear and soft.
Filter
All filter medias except carbon:
a. After the air has been purged from the tank
(water begins to flow steadily from the drain)
open the main supply all the way. Backwash
media for a minimum of 15 minutes or longer if
necessary. Water running to the drain should be
clear.
Carbon media should be allowed to soak for a
minimum of 12 hours to allow air bubbles to
escape prior to backwashing.
b. After the backwash is complete plug in control
and allow it to advance to BACKWASH
COMPLETE.
Electrical Connection
100 VAC, 115 VAC, and 230 VAC units: Remove twist
tie from the power cord and extend cord to its full
length. Make sure power source matches the rating
printed on the control. Be certain a wall switch does not
control the outlet.
12 VAC: Connect the plug of the transformer (supplied)
secondary cable to the mating socket at the rear or
bottom of the timer housing. Be certain the transformer
is secure and is plugged into a power source of correct
voltage that is not controlled by a wall switch.

1.4 Disinfection of Water Conditioners
The materials of construction of the modern water
conditioner will not support bacterial growth, nor will
these materials contaminate a water supply. However,
the normal conditions existing during shipping, storage
and installation indicate the advisability of disinfecting
a conditioner after installation, before the conditioner is
used to treat potable water. In addition, during normal
use, a conditioner may become fouled with organic
matter or in some cases with bacteria from the water
supply.
Thus every conditioner should be disinfected after
installation, some will require periodic disinfection
during their normal life, and in a few cases disinfection
with every regeneration would be recommended.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of
conditioner, 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 Bleach*. If stronger solutions are used, such
as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust the
dosage accordingly.
1. Dosage
a. Polystyrene resin: 1.2 fluid ounces per cubic
foot.
b. Non-resinous exchangers: 0.8 fluid ounce per
cubic foot.
2. Brine tank conditioners
a. Backwash the conditioner and add the required
amount of hypochlorite solution to the brine
well of the brine tank. (The brine tank should
have water in it to permit the solution to be
carried into the conditioner.)
b. Proceed with the normal regeneration.
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.
2. Brine tank conditioners
a. Backwash the conditioner and add the required
amount of hypochlorite to the brine well of the
brine tank. (The brine tank should have water in
it to permit the chlorine solution to be carried
into the conditioner.)
b. Proceed with the normal regeneration.
*Clorox Bleach is a trademark of the Clorox Company.

2.0 Performa Cv 962 Control
2.1 Introduction to the Performa CV
Softener and Filter Systems
2.1.1 Performa Cv Softener Valve (278)
The Performa Cv softener valve is available with one of
two controls. The 962 electronic demand system
control and the 962TC electronic time clock control.
The Performa Cv system offers a true 1-inch valve with
superior flow characteristics. The Performa Cv softener
valve will deliver a service flow of 25 gpm (94.6 Lpm) at
a pressure drop of 15 psi (service Cv = 6.5, Kv = 5.6).
The Performa Cv softener is capable of backwashing at
the rate of 20 gpm (75.6 Lpm) with a pressure drop of
25 psi (backwash Cv = 4.0, Kv = 3.5). The application
for this valve will be on softener systems with mineral
tanks up to 21 inches in diameter.
2.1.2 Performa Cv Filter Valve (273)
The Performa Cv filter valve is available with one of
three controls. The 962F electronic demand system
control, the 962FTC electronic time clock control, and
the 942F mechanical time clock control in a 12-day
configuration. The Performa Cv filter valve has the
same service flow capability as the softener valve
however the backwash Cv is higher (Cv = 5.0, Kv = 5.8)
resulting in the capability of backwashing at 25 gpm
(94.6 Lpm) with a 25 psi pressure drop. The Performa
Cv filter valve can be used on carbon filters with media
tank sizes up to 24 inches in diameter. Other filter
media backwash requirements will determine
maximum media tank dimensions. Refer to the
backwash flow requirements in Table 4.5 and Table 4.6.
The Performa Cv softener valve and the Performa Cv
filter valve can be identified by a label attached to the
right side of the valve.

2.2 Programming and Application
This section covers all aspects of programming the 962
control.
Note that some parameters have a single unit of
measure option such as the Rinse Time which is only
entered in minutes. Other parameters have dual units
such as Salt Amount which can be entered in pounds
or kilograms. To select which units are active, look for a
comment in the NOTES column of Table 2.1 and Table
2.4. It will reference another parameter that selects
which units are active. For example, Parameter P12
(Table 2.4) selects U.S. units if it is set to “0” and metric
if it is set to “1.”
Level I Parameters (Table 2.1)
Level I Parameters are identified as those that have an
LED indicator on the front panel. The green indicator
illuminates next to the name of the active control
setting. The end user has access to all of these
parameters. In general, pressing the DOWN ARROW
(↓) button displays the Level I Parameters in the
following order:
•Time of Day
•Time of Regeneration
•Hardness
•Salt Amount
•Capacity
If you continue to press the DOWN ARROW (↓) button,
the parameters start over with Time of Day. Pressing
the UP ARROW (↑) button displays the parameters in
reverse order. Refer to Table 2.1 for a description of
these parameters and the available ranges for each
parameter.
Press the SET button and the far right number on the
display starts flashing. If you want to change this
number, press the UP ARROW (↑) button to increase
the number or the DOWN ARROW (↓) button to
decrease the number. To skip the number without

number starts flashing. You can only change the
flashing number. Continue changing numbers until you
reach the desired setting. Press the SET button. The
numbers stop flashing and the control accepts the new
setting. After approximately 30 seconds, the control
starts alternating the display between Time of Day and
Capacity.
Note: If a beep sounds, the new setting is not accepted
because it was outside the allowable range. The old
value will be displayed.
Day of Week/Time of Day
Press the SET button. The display will show the Time
of Day with the minutes digit blinking. If you want to
change this number, press the UP ARROW (↑) button
to increase the number or the DOWN ARROW (↓)
button to decrease the number. To skip the number
without changing, press the LEFT ARROW (←) button.
The first number stops flashing and the next number
starts flashing. You can only change the flashing
number. When you have reached the far left digit,
pressing the LEFT ARROW (←) button returns you to
the far right digit. The day of the week is displayed with
the time of day in the far left digit. It is programmed at
P1, the same as the time of day. The day of week will
automatically increment at midnight. This will allow
correlation to the daily usage history stored in L7
through L13 to days of the week. Customer should use
day 1 = Sunday through day 7 = Saturday. Continue
changing numbers until you reach the desired setting.
Press the SET button to save the value.
Time of Regeneration/Time of Backwash/Time of
History
The next value displayed is the Time of Regeneration/
Backwash/History. It has a default value of 2:00 a.m. If
this is not acceptable, press the SET button and
change the number. Press the SET button to save the
value. If 2:00 a.m. is acceptable, press the DOWN
ARROW (↓) button. Time of History is the time at which
all data that have been accumulated during the
previous 24 hours, are updated. This designation is
used on the Performa Cv 962M only.
Hardness
Hardness is the next value displayed. This value is the
water hardness expressed in grains per gallon
(milligrams per liter). The default value is
0 grains/gallon (0 mg/L). This parameter must be
programmed with the correct water hardness for the
control to operate properly. Press the SET button and
enter a new value. Any value between 3 and 250 grains
per gallon (30 and 2500 milligrams per liter) is allowed.

Level II Parameters (Table 2.4)
The Level II Parameters are P6 through P22 in Table
2.4. To access Level II Parameters, simultaneously
press and hold the DOWN ARROW (↓) and UP
ARROW (↑) buttons for three seconds. A “P” number
will display.
Refer to Table 2.4 to find the parameter associated
with each “P” number. Use the UP ARROW (↑) button
or the DOWN ARROW (↓) button to move from one
parameter to the next. The display cycles through the
“P” numbers shown in Table 2.1 and Table 2.4. When
you reach P22, the next P number will go back to P1.
When the parameter number you want to change is on
the display, press the LEFT ARROW (←) button to
display the data assigned to that parameter. Press the
SET button and the far right number on the display
starts flashing. If you want to change this number, press
the UP ARROW (↑) button or the DOWN ARROW (↓)

LEFT ARROW (←) button. When the number is correct,
press the SET button. The numbers stop flashing and
the control accepts the new setting. If a beep sounds,
the new setting was not accepted. Refer to Table 2.4
for allowable values for that parameter.
To change or view other parameters, press the LEFT
ARROW (←) button to have the display show “P”
numbers. Now use the UP ARROW (↑) button or the
down arrow (↓) button to move to the parameter
number you wish to change.
To exit the Level II programming mode, simultaneously
press and hold the DOWN ARROW (↓) and UP
ARROW (↑) buttons for three seconds, or wait 30
seconds without pressing a button. The control starts
alternating the display between Tank in Service, Flow
Rate and Capacity.
Settings for all parameters can be written on the label
provided with the control. The label has an adhesive
backing so it can be attached to the inside rear cover
of this manual for future service reference.
Level II Programming
•Parameter P6 is used by the control to calculate the
Refill Time. Press SET button and enter a new
value. Refer to Table 2.2 for the correct value.
•Parameter P7 is used by the control to calculate the
brine draw time. Press the SET button and enter a
new value. Refer to Table 2.2 for the correct value.
The control calculates the brine draw time using
this value and the salt amount. The brine draw time
is added to the Rinse Time (P10) to determine the
total Brine Draw/Slow Rinse Time.
•This control does not use Parameter P8. No entry
is needed for this parameter.
•Parameter P12 selects the units of measure. Be
sure that this is set to the correct value before
entering any data for Parameters P3, P4 or P5.
•Parameter P13 selects the clock display mode. If
the 12-hour mode is selected, a PM indicator is
used. If the 24-hour mode is selected, the PM
indicator is not used.
•Parameter P15 has four allowable values. Values 0
or 1 will cause the control to wait for Parameter P2,
time of day of regeneration, to begin the
regeneration. Values 2 or 3 will cause the control to
start the regeneration as soon as the capacity is
exhausted.
•When Parameter P15 selects a smart reserve type,
0 or 2, Parameter P16 is used to calculate the initial
seven average daily water usage values. The
control multiplies the total capacity by the
percentage entered for Parameter P16 and uses
that value as the initial average daily usage for each
day of the week until water usage establishes new
averages, refer to Reserve Options, page 15.
•Parameter 17 must be programmed following the
appropriate programming table. Improper
regenerations will occur if P17 is set to any other
number.
•Parameter P18 allows the installer to lock the Salt
Amount and Capacity values so they cannot be
changed. When Parameter 18 is set to 1, those two
settings can only be viewed when the control is in
the Level II mode. The settings will be skipped
when the control is in the Level I mode. When
Parameter 18 is set to zero, the Salt Amount and
Capacity can be viewed and changed in either
Level I or Level II.
•Parameter P19 selects the flow sensor that is to be
used with the system. The factory preset value is 1
for a 1-inch turbine. The range is 1 - 4. 1 = Autotrol
1-inch turbine, 2 = Autotrol 2-inch turbine, 3 = user
programmable K-factor, 4 = user programmable
pulse equivalent. The K-factors or pulse
equivalents for individual meters should be
supplied by the respective meter manufacturer.
•Parameter P20 is programmed only if P19 = 3 or 4.
P20 is where the factory supplied K-factor or pulse
equivalent number is programmed.
•Parameter P21 allows the user to tell the control
how long a signal must be present at the remote
regeneration input for it to be valid. For example; a
differential pressure switch may send false signals
of short duration many times before a filter really
does need to be backwashed. Programming P21
allows the control to start a backwash only when it
is required and not respond to false signals.

•Parameter P22. Special codes are entered at the
factory to program all of the pertinent P locations
for specific controls; Metric for example. This
parameter should never be changed by the end
user.
Electronic Time Clock Operation
Programming automatic regeneration frequency:
The Electronic Time Clock has two regeneration
options: Interval Regeneration and Day of Week
Regeneration.
To initiate an automatic regeneration one or both of the
options must be chosen. The system may also be
regenerated manually by pressing the Regeneration
button for three seconds.
Interval Regeneration — The Electronic Time Clock
may be programmed to regenerate in intervals of up to
30 days. This feature is Parameter P14 Calendar
Override (see Table 2.4). Example: If 5 is programmed
into P14 then the system will regenerate every five days
at the time programmed into P2.
Day of Week Regeneration — The Electronic Time
Clock may be programmed to regenerate on a specific
day or on specific days of the week. The instructions for
this option are found in Table 2.3 on page 15.
Application
The Performa Cv 962 Softener and the Performa Cv
962F Filter may be operated as a single, dual, or triplex
system.
Dual and Triplex Softeners and Filters
The dual and triplex systems require a different cam
than the cam that is used in the single unit systems.
They also require an interconnecting lock out cable.
This allows the unit that is in regeneration or backwash
to signal the other units and prevents them from
starting a regeneration or backwash until the first unit is
finished. Dual and triplex units should be plumbed in
parallel with each other. In a multi-unit system the
backwash water is supplied by the other unit or units in
the system. In a dual filter system consideration must
be given that the unit in service is able to satisfy service
requirements and be able to supply sufficient
backwash water to the other filter while it is in the
backwash cycle. There is a selection guide, Table 4.6,
in Section 4.0 to assist in qualifying the choice of a dual
or triplex system. This selection guide is based on
media backwash requirements and tank diameter.
A parallel kit must be purchased for multi-unit
operation. The kit numbers are:
•Dual Parallel Softener P/N 1035923
•Triplex Parallel Softener P/N 1035925
•Dual Parallel Filter P/N 1035924
•Triplex Parallel Filter P/N 1035926
Kits include parallel operation cams and the proper
interconnect cable.
Manual Start Regeneration
To force the control to perform a regeneration, press
the REGEN button. This button is located on the front
of the control. When you press the REGEN button, the
control performs a full regeneration of the conditioner.
If you press this button again more than one minute
after regeneration begins, but before the
regeneration is complete, a second regeneration
will start when the first regeneration is finished. The
display will freeze and only show the Regen Time
Remaining as an indication that the second
regeneration will be performed. When the first
regeneration is complete, the second one will begin
and the display will alternate between Flow and Regen
Time Remaining.
Automatic Regeneration
There are three ways to have the control automatically
start a regeneration: calendar override, having the
control monitor the water usage, or programming day
of the week regeneration.
Calendar Override
This feature is set in Parameter P14. It can be set for
one to 30 days. If it is set to zero, this feature is
disabled. When this feature is active, the control keeps
track of the number of days since the last regeneration
and when that number equals the value set in P14, a
regeneration is automatically started at the Time of
Regeneration set in P2.
Control Monitors the Water Usage
The control compares the water usage to the
calculated volume capacity of the system. The control
then uses the Capacity Parameter P5 divided by the
Hardness Parameter P3 to calculate the volume
capacity of the system. It also uses a reserve value to
determine if a regeneration is necessary. If the water
usage since the last regeneration is greater than the
system capacity minus the reserve, a regeneration is
needed.

Programming Day of the Week Regeneration/
Backwash
Enter Day of the Week Regeneration/backwash
programming by depressing the LEFT ARROW (←)
button and the DOWN ARROW (↓) button
simultaneously for 3 seconds. The days are shown as
d1, d2, d3, etc., on the display. Select the days of the
week regeneration/backwash should occur. To activate
that day, change the 0 to a 1. The programming mode
will be exited if no keys are pressed for 30 seconds. If
this feature is used in conjunction with calendar
override the calender override timer will be reset at the
end of this regeneration/backwash.
Reserve Options
There are two types of reserve options for this control:
fixed reserve and smart reserve (historical water usage
pattern). They are selected with Parameter P15.
Fixed Reserve
When fixed reserve is selected, the control multiplies
the maximum system capacity by the percent value set
in Parameter P16 and uses the result as a reserve.
Smart Reserve (water usage pattern)
The other reserve option allows the control to adjust the
reserve based upon the historical water usage pattern
of the system. The control keeps track of the water
usage for each day of the week and uses that day’s
average usage multiplied by 1.2 as the reserve for that
day. Every day at the Time of Regeneration, the control
recalculates the day’s average water usage. If less than
10% of a day’s average water usage is used, the
control will not change the day’s average. If more than
twice the day’s average is used, the control uses the
actual usage in the reserve calculation.
Since a new installation has no history of water usage,
the control multiplies the percent of capacity value set
in Parameter P16 by the total system capacity to
determine starting average for each day of the week.
The factory set value for P16 is 30 which means that
30% of the total system capacity is used for the starting
average for each day.
Program Parameter P15 is also used to select whether
the control waits until the Time of Regeneration set in
Parameter P2 to start a regeneration, or if the control
should begin a regeneration immediately when the
capacity remaining is less than the reserve.
