Instructions
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but
are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant
may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on
red or clear lip seals.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench.
If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or
loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the 1” NPT
elbow or the ¼” NPT connection and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon tape is not
necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive assembly or the drive cap assembly and
pistons, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack from the
printed circuit board (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service
piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version (e.g. 154) and then
reset the valve to the service position.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line
should be a minimum of ½”.Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20 feet require
¾” drain line.
Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at
least 6” between the drain line control fitting and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on
the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line flow control
fitting.
When assembling the installation-fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing
system first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may
damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before
installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings,
split rings, and bypass valve or control valve.
Plug into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes.
(Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.)
Install grounding strap on metal pipes, one end on inlet (copper) and other end to outlet (copper).
Note: No Chlorine should come into contact with the media. If chlorinating well, system must be in by-
pass position (see page #6)

Installation Fitting Assemblies
The installation fittings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that ONLY REQUIRE
HAND TIGHTENING. Hand tighten nut connections between control valve and installation fittings, control
valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation fittings allow for easy serviceability. Do not use
a pipe wrench to tighten nuts on installation fittings. Hand tighten only.
Split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area
reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design, incorporated into the installation fittings allows
approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The installation fittings are designed
to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system of
the plumbing.
When assembling the installation fitting package, connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then
attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring
or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split
ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings. Split rings, bypass
valve or control valve. Solvent cements and primers should be used in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Slip the nut onto the fitting first, then the split ring second and the o-ring last. HAND TIGHTEN THE NUT.
If the fitting is leaking, tightening the nut will not stop the leak. Remove the nut, remove the fitting, and
check for damage or misalignment of the o-ring.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the 1" NPT
elbow and the ¼" NPT connection and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon tape is not
necessary on the nut connection or caps because of the o-ring seals.
Bypass Valve See page 6 for diagram and operation layout
The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require hand tightening.
Hand tighten nut connections between control valve and fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and
bypass valve and installation fittings allow for easy serviceability. The split ring retainer design holds the
nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area reducing the chance for leakage. The
split ring design, incorporated into the bypass, allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the
plumbing system. The bypass is designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but is not
designed to support the weight of a system of the plumbing.
Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control
valve. Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary on the caps
because of o-rings seals.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicon lubricant may be used on
black o-rings. All seals are self-lubricating E.PPM. for long life lubricating qualities.
Note: Quick connect 1" nut will fit around a ¾ " copper elbow (for ease of installation).
Important: See page 15 for installation of Air Injector and Off Air Tank.

The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at
the delayed regeneration time or to have the regeneration occur immediately. Simultaneously press the
UP + DOWN buttons to start regeneration at the next delayed regeneration time. If regeneration is to
occur today an arrow will point to regeneration. For immediate regeneration, simultaneously press and
hold the UP + DOWN buttons for three seconds.
When in regeneration step through the different regeneration cycles by simultaneously pressing the UP +
DOWN buttons.
User Please Note: Please do not attempt to go further into
valve programming other than time of day or regeneration
unless you have a full and comprehensive understanding of
all program features. Incorrect settings are not a warranty
issue and any service call or resetting of valve will be at the
user’s expense and may result in labor service charges.

User Displays
General Operation
When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing UP or DOWN button will
alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day (to the nearest hour).
The second display is the days remaining until next regeneration. If the days’ remaining is equal to one, a
regeneration will occur at the next preset regeneration time. The user can scroll between displays as
desired.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the present time of regeneration, the arrow will
point to Regen.
Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water
usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating,
untreated water will be used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to indicate the cycle of the regeneration
process (see Table 3) that is occurring and an arrow will also point to Regen. The system will run through
the steps automatically and will reset itself provide treated water when the regeneration is completed.
Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the system calls for it, usually
referred to as a manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or
a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, simultaneously press UP-
DOWN buttons together and release. The arrow will point to the word Regen if a regeneration is expected
"tonight". To cancel the regeneration simultaneously press UP + DOWN buttons and release.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, simultaneously press UP + DOWN buttons together for
three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled. Note:
For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before
regenerating.
Set Time of Day
STEP 1U – Press SET HOUR
STEP 2U – Current: Set the clock to the closest hour by using the UP and DOWN button. An arrow points
to PM after 12. After a power outage, the time of day will need to be reset. Press SET HOUR to exit.
Power Loss
If the power goes out current timer of day will need to be reset. If the power goes out while the system is
regenerating, the cycle picks up where it was interrupted when the power returns. Note: The display will
flash if a power outage has occurred.
Error Message
If "E1," "E2" or "E3" appears on the display contact the help.
This indicates that the valve did not function properly.

set it at 1… this means every day it will go off.
•Press, NEXT… back to clock setting.
NOTE: Your Blaster ozone draw time setting does not work on cycles, it works on time. This bases of design is
simple, however do not set the relay too soon, it is better to be 2 to 3 minutes longer than actual cycles add up to. If
you make it too short and the valve is in rinse the ozone will come on but won’t shut off when brine draw starts.
Lastly, when the unit has finished all the cycles and goes back to service mode the ozone will automatically shut off.
