Notice
To ensure normal operation of the valve, please consult with
professional installation or repairing personnel before use it.
If there are any of pipeline engineering and electric works, there must
be finished by professional at the time of installation.
Do not use the control valve with the water that is unsafe or unknown
quality.
Depending on the changing of working environment and water
requirement, each parameter of softener should be adjusted accordingly.
When the water treatment capacity is too low, please check the resin. If
the reason is shortage of resin, please add; if the resin is turn to reddish
brown or broken, please replace.
Test water periodically to verify that system is performing satisfactorily.
Sodium used in the water softening process should be considered as
part your overall dietary salt intake. Contact doctor if you are on a low
sodium diet.
Ensure that there is solid salt all the time in the brine tank in the course
of using, when this valve is used for softening. The brine tank should be
added the clean water softening salts only, at least 99.5% pure,
forbidding use the fine salt.
Do not put the valve near the hot resource, high humidity, corrosive,
intense magnetic field or intense librations environment. And do not
leave it outside.
Forbidden to carry the injector body. Avoid using injector body as
support to carry the system.
Forbidden to use the brine tube or other connectors as support to carry
the system.

Please use this product under the water temperature between 5～50℃,
water pressure 0.15～0.6MPa. Failure to use this product under such
conditions voids the warranty.
If the water pressure exceeds 0.6Mpa, a pressure reducing valve must
be installed before the water inlet. While, if the water pressure under
0.15MPa, a booster pump must be installed before the water inlet.
It is suggest to install PPR pipe, corrugated pipe or UPVC pipe, instead
of TTLSG pipe.
Do not let children touch or play, because carelessness operating may
cause the procedure changed.
When the attached cables of this product and transformer are changed,
they must be changed to the one that is from our factory.

1. Product Overview
1.1. Main Application &Applicability
Used for softening or demineralization water treatment systems
Be suitable for continuing supply water occasion
1.2. Product Characteristics
Simple structure and reliable sealing
It adopts hermetic head faces with high degree pottery and
corrosion resistance for opening and closing. Using U1, U2 service tank
for switching, it combines with Regeneration such as Standby, Fast
Rinse, Backwash, Brine & Slow Rinse, Brine Refill.
Meter type, single valve with double tanks continuous water
supply.
Manual function
Realize regeneration immediately by pushing manual button at any
time.
Long outage indicator
If outage overrides 3 days, the time of day indicator will flash to
remind people to reset new time of day. The parameters no need to be
reset for all the parameters are kept as before.
LED Multicolor Display Screen
Color bar continuous rolling mean in service position or without
rolling means system in regeneration status.
Buttons lock
No operations to buttons within 1 minute, keyboard locked
automatically. Before operation press and hold the and buttons
for 5 seconds to unlock. This function can avoid operation by accident.
Down-flow regeneration, up-flow regeneration can be

MODEL F73（17603）

interchanged in a valve.
By program selection to choose down-flow regeneration and up-flow
regeneration.
Interval backwash times (Suitable for up-flow regeneration
type)
It could set up interval backwash times for up-flow regeneration type,
which means several times of services but one time of backwash. The
setting of interval backwash time is depending on the local water turbidity.
(The lower the turbidity is, the longer of the interval backwash time can
be set)
Signal output
There is a signal output connector on main control board. It is for
controlling external wiring (Refer to Figure from Figure3-1 to Figure 3-8).
There are two kinds of output modes. b-01 Mode: Turn on start of
regeneration and shut off end of regeneration; b-02 Mode: Signal
available only intervals of regeneration cycles and in service.
Remote handling input
This connector can receive external signal, used together with PLC,
and computer etc. to control the valve.（Application refer to Figure 3-10）
Pressure relief output
The valve will cut off feeding water to drain line when it switches in

MODEL F73（17603）
5
regeneration cycles (Same as signal output b-02). Thus in some water
treatment system, e.g. Deep Well, one booster pump is installed on the
inlet to increase the system water feeding pressure, this cut-off will
cause pressure on inlet rising too fast to damage the valve. Pressure
Relief Output can be used to avoid this problem. (Application refer to
Figure3-9)
Maximum interval regeneration days
Under the situation of service reaching the setting days and the
volume not yet, it could enter into regeneration process forcibly when
current time is the same as regeneration time.
All parameters can be modified
According to the water quality and usage, the parameters in the
process can be adjusted.

In the above table, First Grade Na+ represents First Grade Na+
Exchanger. Second Grade Na+ represents Second Grade Na+
Exchanger.
When the water turbidity exceeds the conditions, a filter should be
installed on the inlet of control valve.
When the water hardness exceeds the conditions, the outlet water
hardness will hardly reach the requirement of boiler feed water（0.03
mmol/L）. It is suggested to adopt second grade softener.

1.5. Installation
A. Installation notice
Before installation, read all those instructions completely. Then
obtain all materials and tools needed for installation.
The installation of product, pipes and circuits, should be
accomplished by professional to ensure the product can operate
normally.
Perform installation according to the relative pipeline regulations
and the specification of Water Inlet, Water Outlet, Drain Outlet, Brine
Line Connector.
B. Device location
①The softener should be located close to drain.
②Ensure the unit is installed in enough space for operating and
maintenance.
③Brine tank need to be close to softener.
④The unit should be kept away the heater, and not be exposed outdoor.
Sunshine or rain will cause the system damage.
⑤Please avoid to install the system in one Acid/Alkaline, Magnetic or
strong virbration circumstance, because above factors will cause the
system disorder.
⑥Do not install the filter or softener, drain pipeline in circumstance which
temperature may drop below 5℃, or above 50℃.
⑦One place is recommended to install the system which causes the
minimum loss in case of water leaking.
