Once installed, the Five-O Series system is a maintenance free whole house water
treatment system. Each system includes a pre-programmed fully automatic Clack
(Made in USA) valve that runs a self-rinsing cycle every 7 days.
The media inside the tank include premium grade high activity catalytic granular
activated carbon in addition to three sediment filtration (polishing) media to deliver
crystal clear, great tasting water throughout the home.
The Superior Water Conditioner is the final stage of treatment before the water
is delivered to the house. This unit is integrated in to the riser tube of the system and
treats the minerals that remain in the water so that they stay suspended in the water
flow and when they do precipitate out, they do so as an aragonite “talc” that is easily
removed with a damp cloth.
The Superior Water Conditioner is chemical free and works in concert with the
filtration media to deliver a an integrated treatment solution that not only improves
household water quality, but also protects the household plumbing, fixtures and
appliances from hard water damage.

PRE-INSTALLATION
1. All installations are to be done in accordance with any local codes.
2. Do not use water that is micro-biologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
3. Five-O systems are to be installed on the main water line going into the
building.
4. Water pressure cannot exceed 80 psi. If daytime water pressure is above
65 psi a pressure regulator is required.
5. All Five-O systems have a drain line with a restrictive washer to control
the backwash flow rate.
6. The Five-O system comes pre-programmed and will automatically
backwash every 7 days. This cycle will use about 35 gallons of water
over the 10 minute cycle.
7. The Five-O unit should be located in a protected, dry, level and non-
freezing area, such as a garage, laundry room. In some areas with
moderate climates the unit can be installed outdoors and can also be
buried provided a minimum 6” clearance is maintained below the control
valve.
8. The drain outlet has a ¾” threaded fitting. We recommend a matching
size PVC drain fitting be used. Please always follow local plumbing
codes when installing the drain line. The drain line is pressurized so it can
be run slightly uphill if necessary.
9. The unit requires power from a standard 2-prong, 120V, grounded outlet
that is not controlled by a switch. The Five-O control valve includes a
15’ power cord, but you can use an extension cord if an outlet is not
nearby. Please follow any local building/safety codes if you need to use
an extension cord.
10. Make a list of all the plumbing fittings you will need to completely
install the system to make it ready for operation. Brass reducers may be
necessary.
11 . Assemble all tools needed to install the system and start your installation.
12. Now go ahead, open the box and get started!

FIVE-O SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Locate the plastic bags containing the Bypass Assemblies, Brass Adapters
and plastic fittings.
Each of the following items need to be put aside because you will not need
them during installation but you will need to leave them with homeowner
when installation is complete:
• The Five-O Series Warranty
• The Valve Installation and Operation Manual
• The Five-O Series System Guide
1. Determine Five-O Series installation location.
*NOTE* As you look at the rear of the Five-O Series control valve, the
inlet water line will always enter the hole on the LEFT SIDE of the bypass
valve assembly. The control valve assembly has an arrow indicating
water flow direction on top of the assembly.
2. If a recirculation pump is present, turn off power to prevent
damage.
3. Turn off the main water valve and drain water from the main line.
4. Cut and remove a section of the main incoming water line entering the
home where the system is to be installed to ensure the system is treating
all water entering the home (both hot and cold water). If a pressure
regulator is on the system, install the Five-O Series downstream of the
regulator. Allow this line to drain thoroughly.
5. You need to install the ball valve and hose bibb on the
outlet side of the unit see diagram page 3
6. Solder adapters in place on inlet and outlet piping.
7. Once cooled; apply nut, split ring and o-ring.
Do not over-tighten adapters!
8. After all soldering is finished and the adapters are securely attached
to the bypass assembly, then attach the bypass assembly to the control
valve and secure it using the black plastic fittings.
Five-O Series is now in place and ready for charging.
9. Place the bypass valve in the “Service” or “Bypass” position to test
solder joints.
10. SLOWLY Turn on water to test for leaks in pipes supplying the Five-O
Series system.

1. The FIVE-O Series control valve has a threaded plastic swivel drain
connection located directly behind the electronic control valve.
2. Attach a PVC schedule 40 drain line to the drain fitting and run to an
appropriate discharge area such as a flower bed, utility sink or area
drain. Remember to leave a small air gap at the end of the hose if
feeding into a house drain (please follow local plumbing codes).
3. When backwashing, water will flow from the drain line with a fair
amount of pressure and the line may “jump” slightly when changing
cycles.
4. Maximum height for the drain is 102 inches above the floor.
5. Maximum length is 15 feet. You must increase the pipe size to 1” after
15 feet up to 30 feet.

What is the difference between a FIVE-O and a Water Softener?
The differences are profound. It is not an apples to apples comparison.
While many softeners are comparable or priced higher than the FIVE-O, traditional
water softeners are a more expensive, less effective way to address hard water
scale and corrosion, and actually add more contaminants into household water
supplies and the environment. For a detailed comparison please see the side by side
comparison of “FIVE-O vs. Traditional Softeners”
What is the maintenance schedule on a FIVE-O?
The FIVE-O is MAINTENANCE FREE
The SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER is MAINTENANCE FREE
NOTE: In a home with 4 people, the water heater will need to be flushed (of
dissolved solids) 3-4 months after installation of the FIVE-O, or any other HALO
solution that includes the SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER. This is because the
SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER water conditioner will dissolve existing scale,
prevent new scale formation and inhibit hard water corrosion.
How much water is used during backwash cycle?
The FIVE-O system comes pre-programmed to backwash once a week. This is
a 10-minute program that includes 6 minutes of fluidizing the media bed and 4
minutes of compaction. Ask about Zero Waste Solution the Model B1b-50100
(FIVE-O Stage - 1”) System - Approx. 3.5 gallons per minute
NOTE: The water that is discharged during the backwash cycle is actually cleaner
than the water that came in from the street. It is not only safe but is GREAT for
plants. The drain line water can be run to a flower bed, a tree well, or even a
grey water, or irrigation system.
How does the FIVE-O clean itself with no filters?
It automatically backwashes once a week.
This is not so much to clean the system, but really to reset the media bed and prevent
“channeling”. “Channeling” is water passing through the least resistant path of the
granule bed avoiding contact time with carbon resulting in lower effectiveness.
FUN FACT: 1 gram of Activated Carbon has enough surface area to
cover a football field
What separates the FIVE-O from other systems?
Quality. Value. Reliability.
How do we know when the FIVE-O media is at its end of life?
On the B1B-50100 unit, after approximately 1 Million gallons of usage. If the
treated water tests positive for Chlorine (>0.5 ppm)

What is the basic difference between a FIVE-O and bottled water?
HALO retains the minerals in the water.
HALO is available throughout the entire home for bathing, cooking and drinking
water. HALO does NOT contain Xenoestrogens or BPA commonly found in bottled
water.
HALO water costs about 1/1,000th as much as bottled water.
How does the SUPERIOR Inline Water Conditioner work?
The patented system, when installed in a water supply line, controls the formation
of scale and corrosion deposits without the use of chemicals. Water passing
through the alternating magnetic fields causes most minerals (iron excepted) to stay
suspended in the water so they cannot form a hard, brittle scale. The entire process
bonds calcium ions to each other rather than to your plumbing and plumbing
fixtures
Water passes, under pressure, and with minimal turbulence, through alternating
magnetic lines of force perpendicular to the water’s flow direction. This causes a
polarizing effect upon non-polar constituents in the water, and provides the energy
of activation level necessary to cause the dissolved Calcium Carbonate (Calcite)
CaCo3 within the water to recombine and form “aragonite” (an amorphous
powdery form) when the solubility limit is reached. Unlike crystalline CaCo33,
aragonite can easily remain suspended in the water stream rather than attaching to
system walls as “scale”.

The presence of aragonite in the water provides an additional benefit in terms of
corrosion protection. A thin film of the soft aragonite, which normally forms as a
result of long term magnetic treatment, actually prevents free oxygen within the
water from attacking the metallic components through which the water travels, thus
preventing corrosion.
How is the SWC different from traditional water softeners?
Most water hardness treatment systems use ion exchange with salt as a regenerate
which can have adverse effects on our health and the environment. While ion
exchange systems substitute salt (sodium) for calcium, the SUPERIOR WATER
CONDITIONER™ Inline Water Conditioner transforms dissolved calcium to
crystallized calcium. Calcium in its crystallized state is rendered harmless and free
from its hard properties and scaling effects.
What is your product used for?
The SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER™ Inline Water Conditioner has several
uses. It is primarily used for commercial applications where scale prevention is
required, such as; water heater pretreatment, reverse osmosis pretreatment, etc.
It is also used for used for residential applications where SUPERIOR WATER
CONDITIONER™ water is desired for both taste and functional use.
What is special about the SUPERIOR Inline Water Conditioner?
The SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER™ Inline Water Conditioner has been in use
since 1964. It is the most widely used, recognized and reliable maintenance-free
system available today. In addition, recent local bans on soft water equipment or
wastewater discharge permits are not applicable to this system.
What is so important about not using chemicals or sodium?
1. You are not spending money on them.
2. You are not ingesting them in part or in whole.
3. You are not adding to the pollution of the water supplies.
If the SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER™ does not use chemicals or
sodium, what does it use?
Just water! The SUPERIOR WATER CONDITIONER™ alters the state of the water
through a multi- stage magnetic process; it does not add anything to it.
Will the water test soft after the system is installed?
NO. Remember that the calcium is still present in the water but in an altered
state. A test for hardness in reality is a test for the presence of minerals Calcium
and Magnesium, which have naturally hard properties. The SUPERIOR WATER
CONDITIONER™ Inline Water Conditioner renders these harmless.

Won’t the calcium crystals revert back to their dissolved state in my
water heater?
The calcium crystals will remain suspended for approx.. 24 to 72 hours. Normal water
usage indicates that a typical household will turn the hot water over in a correctly
sized water heater at least once per day. This means that the suspended calcium
crystals will be washed down the drain before they have the chance to revert back
to a dissolved state. At times when the water does sit for example if you are away on
vacation, as soon as water is drawn through the unit the water is conditioned and any
water that has been converted back to hard will quickly wash through. This prevents
any scale from building up over time.

TIPS & BEST PRACTICES
Congratulations on the purchase of your new FIVE-O Water Conditioning
and Filtration System!! You are now the owner of one of the most effective
and reliable, eco-friendly water treatment systems available! The following
information and list of “tips” was designed to help you better understand and
maximize the effectiveness of this superior water treatment technology.
Understanding and Appreciating Aragonite:
In appliances, on dishes and on countertops where water is frequently left
standing, you may begin to notice a powdered talc-like substance collecting.
This powder is called Aragonite. Aragonite is a harmless, electrically neutral
and non-corrosive form of calcite that is produced during the magnetic
conditioning portion of the FIVE-O water treatment process. Prior to passing
through your FIVE-O’s magnetic conditioner, this Aragonite is actually the
minerals that would have caused lime scale build-up and corrosion in your
pipes and appliances. The Aragonite is a byproduct formed after hard water
passes through your FIVE-O’s magnetic conditioner and it is easily wiped off
most surfaces. You should consider Aragonite as welcome proof that your
FIVE-O Water System is operating effectively.
Here Are A Few Simple Actions To Help Minimize Aragonite Left
On Items Cleaned By Your Dishwasher.
1. Use ONLY powdered dishwasher soap. Customers have seen great results
with Cascade Complete.
2. CUT DOWN ON SOAP. Use only 1 Tablespoon TOTAL divided ½ into each
dispenser cup. Too much soap may cause spotting, etching, filming and/
or glazing.
3. Dishwasher hot water temperature should be at least 140° and hotter is
better so, prior to starting your dishwasher, you should run the HOT water
at the kitchen sink until it begins to flow hot. This ensures hot water for the
dishwasher’s wash cycle.
4. Use (as directed) a rinse agent such as “Lemi Shine”. Available at most
Target, WalMart stores and Amazon.com.
5. Turn off the dishwasher heating element and allow the dishes to cool dry.
Open the dishwasher door slightly to allow steam to escape as soon as the
wash cycle is complete.
6. Always store detergent in a dry place as moisture adversely affects dish
detergent contributing to spotting. Purchasing small boxes of detergent,
may make it easier to keep fresh product on hand. Check the expiration date
for freshness because dish detergent actually does expire!

TIPS & BEST PRACTICES
Tips To Remove & Prevent Lime Scale Film On:
Dishes, Glasses, Small Appliances & Plumbing Fixtures That Have Been Subjected To
Untreated Water Prior To The Installation Of Your FIVE-O System: These items likely have
soap scum and lime scale build up.
1. Place affected dishes into dishwasher and run a complete wash cycle
substituting 1 cup of white vinegar for the soap. Some glasses can
become permanently etched if too much soap has previously been
used.
2. Residue and mineral build up can be cleaned from small appliances
such as coffee makers by using a 2-1 solution of hot water and white
vinegar. Simply pour the water and vinegar solution into the water
reservoir of your automatic coffee maker and turn it on. After it has
“brewed” the water and vinegar solution, repeat the process using
water only. This will rinse any remaining vinegar from the appliance.
3. Lime Scaleand hard waterdepositswhich havebuilt-up onfaucets and
plumbing fixtures prior to the installation of your new FIVE-O water
treatmentsystemshouldbe carefully removed with the help ofproducts
such as “CLR” or “Lime Away”. Use these products only as directed by
the manufacturer as they contain harsh chemicals which can ruin some
finishes. “Lemi Shine” has also been reported to help remove mineral
build up from dishwashers as well as from bathtubs, sinks and toilets.
Tips For Cleaning & Maintaining Your Bath & Shower Enclosures:
1. Use “CLR”, “X-14” or “Lemi Shine” as directed to remove any existing
mineral build-up from your bath tub, shower walls, shower basin and
glass doors.
2. Use a squeegee or wipe down shower doors and walls after each
use to prevent spots caused by soap scum.
3. Applying “Turtle Wax” or a good liquid car wax on clear glass doors,
chrome, brass and dark colored shower tile will help to promote
water sheeting and discourage soap scum build-up.
