GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
During operation, the normal user displays such as time of day, gallons or days remaining before regeneration (optional),
and salt warning (optional), are shown. Each of these can be viewed by pressing NEXT to scroll through them. When
moving through any displays or programming, if no buttons are pressed within five minutes, the display returns to normal
operating displays. Any changes made prior to the five minute time out are incorporated.
To quickly exit any Programming, Installer Settings, etc., press SET CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are
incorporated.
If desired, two regenerations within 24 hours are possible with a return to the pre-set program. To do a double regeneration
if the control valve is factory set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0” (see Step 9S under SOFTENER SYSTEM SETUP):
1. Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will flash on the display.
2. Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until a regeneration begins.

Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the pre-set
regeneration time.

CYCLE SEQUENCE
CYCLE SEQUENCE instructions allows the setting of the order of
the cycle. There are 9 cycles which can be arranged in any order.
Later in this book the INSTALLER SETTINGS allow the setting of
how long cycles will last.
END must be used as the last cycle option. The SERVICE cycle should only be used in brine prefill applications.
If using upflow brine verify that the valve is configured as follows:
1. upflow piston is installed; and
2. injector is located in up hole and injector plug is in down hole.
The following is an example of how to set a valve so that when regeneration is initiated BACKWASH occurs first,

SOFTENER SYSTEM SETUP
In SOFTENER SYSTEM SETUP you choose the duration for the cycles selected in CYCLE SEQUENCE and specify
other operating parameters for the system. The upper and lower limits of the allowable values for the cycles are as
follows:
Since no time is associated with the END cycle,
the END cycle will not appear in the SOFTENER
SYSTEM SETUP sequence.
Note: Fill is in pounds of salt.
Step 1S – Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. If screen in Step 2S
does not appear in 5 seconds the lock on the valve is activated. To unlock press , NEXT,
, and SET CLOCK in sequence, then press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds
and release.
Step 2S – Choose SOFTENING using theor button. Press NEXT to go to Step 3S.
Press REGEN if you want to exit SOFTENER SYSTEM SETUP.
Step 3S – Select the time for the first cycle (which in this example is BACKWASH) using
theor button.
Press NEXT to go to Step 4S.
Press REGEN if you need to return to previous step.
Step 4S – Select the time for the second cycle (which in this example is dn BRINE) using
theor button.
Press NEXT to go to Step 5S.
Press REGEN if you need to return to previous step.
NOTE: The display will flash between cycle number and time, and brine direction (dn or
UP).
Step 5S – Select the time for the third cycle (which in this example is RINSE) using the or
button.
Press NEXT to go to Step 6S.
Press REGEN if you need to return to the previous step.
Step 6S – Select the Lbs. for the fourth cycle (which in this example is FILL) using the or 
button. Press NEXT to go to Step 7S. Press REGEN if you need to return to the previous step.
Step 7S – Set Grains Capacity using theor button. The ion exchange capacity is in
grains of hardness as calcium carbonate for the system based on the pounds of salt that will
be used. Calculate the pounds of salt using the fill time previously selected. The allowable
grains capacity range varies from 5000 to 200,000 grains. The increment in- crease is 500 for
the range from 5000 to 30,000, 1000 for the range of 30,000 to 100,000, and 2000 for the
range of 100,000 to 200,000. Grains capacity is affected by the fill time. The grains capacity
for the selected fill time should be confirmed by testing. The capacity and hardness levels
entered are used to automatically calculate reserve capacity when gallon capacity is set to
AUTO. Press NEXT to go to Step 8S.
Press REGEN if you need to return to previous step.

BYPASS VALVE
The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or
maintenance. The 1" full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure
to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building.
The bypass body and rotors are glass filled Noryl and the nuts and caps are glass filled polypropylene. All seals are self-lubricating EPDM
to help prevent valve seizing after long periods of non-use. Internal o-rings can easily be replaced if service is required.
The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow shaped handles. The handles identify the
direction of flow. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.
1. Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows on the control
valve. Water flows through the control valve for normal operation of a water softener or filter. During the regeneration cycle this position
provides regeneration water to the unit, while also providing untreated water to the distribution system. (See Figure 1)
2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass.
The system is isolated from the water pressure in the plumbing system.
Untreated water is supplied to the building. (See Figure 2)
3. Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points toward the control valve and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass valve.
Untreated supply water is allowed to flow to the system and to the building, while not allowing water to exit from the system to the
building (See Figure 3).
This allows the service technician to draw brine and perform other tests without the test water going to the building.
NOTE: The system must be rinsed before returning the bypass valve to the normal position.
4. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points away from the control valve.
The water is shut off to the building. The water treatment system will depressurize upon opening a tap in the building. A negative
pressure in the building combined with the softener being in regeneration could cause a siphoning of brine into the building. If water is
available on the outlet side of the softener or filter it is an indication of water bypassing the system (i.e. a plumbing cross-connection
somewhere in the building). (See Figure 4)

INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
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 silicone 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.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the 1" NPT elbow, its
NPT connection, and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon tape is not used on the nut connections or caps
because o-ring seals are used. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special
plastic Service Wrench, #V3193. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench
to tighten nuts or caps.
Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
• Water Pressure, 20-125 psi (138-862 kPa)
• Water temperature, 40° -110° F (4° - 38° C)
• The tanks should be on a firm level surface
• Electrical: Use a 115/120V, 60Hz uninterrupted outlet.
• Current draw is 0.5 amperes
• A 15 ft power cord is furnished.
• The plug-in transformer is for dry locations only.
• Batteries are not used.
1. The distance between the drain and the water conditioner should be as short as possible.
2. Since salt must be periodically added to the brine tank, it should be located where it is easily accessible.
3. Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet (3m) of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water
heater. Water heaters sometimes overheat to the extent that they will transmit heat or backflow from their inlet back to the
water conditioner control. Hot water can severely damage the conditioner. Allowing the 10 foot (3m) distance will permit
most heat to dissipate before reaching the water conditioner. A more positive way of insuring against backflow is to install
a high temperature check valve. The heater should also have a properly rated temperature and pressure relief valve.
Also, be certain that local codes are not violated.
4. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be subjected to room
temperatures under 34° F (49° C).
5. The use of resin cleaners in an unvented enclosure is not recommended.
SERIAL NUMBER: Record the serial number on the installer’s and customer’s records.

INSTALLATION
INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and
plumb to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit. There are a variety of installation fittings
available. They are listed under Installation Fitting Assemblies. 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 solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the o-
rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, install a
copper grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe. Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local
codes.
DRAIN LINE: First, be sure that the drain can handle the backwash rate of the system. 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 flow control fitting and
solder joints. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the flow control. Install a˚" I.D. flexible plastic tube to the
Drain Line Assembly or discard the tubing nut and use the ∫" NPT fitting for rigid pipe. If the backwash rate is greater than 7
gpm, use a ∫" drain line. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a
7" (18 cm) loop at the discharge end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain connection on the
control valve. This will provide an adequate anti-siphon trap. Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-
type trap must be used. Run drain tube to its discharge point in accordance with plumbing code. Pay special attention to
codes for air gaps and anti-siphon devices.
IMPORTANT:
Never insert a drain line directly 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.
BRINE TANK CONNECTION: Install a 3/8" O.D. polyethylene tube from the Refill Elbow to the Brine Valve in the brine tank.
OVERFLOW LINE CONNECTION:
AN OVERFLOW DRAIN LINE IS RECOMMENDED WHERE A BRINE OVERFLOW COULD DAMAGE FURNISH- INGS
OR THE BUILDING STRUCTURE.
Your softener is equipped with a brine tank safety float which greatly reduces the chance of an accidental brine overflow. In
the event of a malfunction, however, an OVERFLOW LINE CONNECTION will direct the “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 the brine
tank.
To connect overflow fitting, locate hole in side of brine tank. Insert overflow fitting into tank and tighten with plastic thumb
nut and gasket from the inside. Attach a length of ˚" (1.3 cm) I.D. tubing (not supplied) to fitting and run to drain. Do not
elevate overflow line higher than 3" (7.6 cm) below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not “tie” this tube into the drain line of the
control valve. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer, or tub. Allow an air gap as
per the drain line instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Never insert a drain line directly 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.

INSTALLER SETTINGS
NOTE: What follows assumes that AUTO is set for regeneration mode in Step 8S,
meaning gallons are automatically calculated.
STEP 1I - Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds.
STEP 2I – Hardness: Set the amount of hardness in grains per gallon (default 20) using
the or buttons. The allowable range is from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. Note:
Increase the grains per gallon if soluble iron is present. This display will show “–nA–” if
“FILTER” is selected or if “AUTO” is not selected previously. Press NEXT to go to step
3I. Press REGEN if you want to exit.
STEP 3I – Day Override: When gallon capacity is set to off, this sets the number of days
between regenerations. When gallon capacity is factory set to AUTO or to any number,
this sets the maximum number of days between regenerations. If this is set to “oFF”,
regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If any number is set (allowable
range from 1 to 28), a regeneration initiation will be called for on that day even if
sufficient number of gallons were not used to call for regeneration. Set Day Override
using or buttons (14 recommended):
• set number of days between regeneration (1 to 28, default 14); or
• set to “oFF”.
Press NEXT to go to step 4I. Press REGEN if you need to return to previous step.
STEP 4I – Next Regeneration Time (hour): Set the hour of day for regeneration using
or buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12.
The default time is 2:00 a.m. (recommended).
This display will show “REGEN on 0 GAL” if immediate regeneration was factory set.
Press NEXT to go to step 5I. Press REGEN if you need to return to previous step.

GENERAL OPERATION
NORMAL OPERATING DISPLAYS
When the system is operating one of three displays will be shown.
Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the
displays is the current time of day. Depending the system
configuration, the second display is one of the following: days
remaining or gallons remaining. Days remaining is the number of days
left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity
remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the
system goes through a regeneration cycle. The third display is an
option and, if used, will show the number of pounds of salt remaining
in the brine tank. The user can scroll between the displays as desired
using NEXT.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the
preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will appear on
the display.
When water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing through the
system) the word “Softening” or “Filtering” flashes on the display.
REGENERATION MODE
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. If there is a demand
for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be delivered.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information
about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be
completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide
treated water when the regeneration has been completed.
MANUAL REGENERATION
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate before the control valve calls for it, usually
referred to as manual regeneration. This is needed when a period of heavy water usage is
anticipated or when the system has been operated without salt.
•To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration
time, press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will
flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the
preset delayed regeneration time.
•If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again,
will cancel the command. Note: If the regeneration time is factory set
to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN
TODAY” will not activate if “REGEN” button is pressed.
•To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the
“REGEN” button for three seconds. The system will begin to
regenerate immediately. The command cannot be cancelled.
POWER LOSS
POWER LOSS & ERROR DISPLAY
If the power goes out for less than two hours, the system will automatically reset
itself. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off
which indicates the time of day should be reset.
The system will remember the rest.
ERROR MESSAGE
If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately flashing on the display record
the number and contact the dealer or manufacturer for help. This indicates that
the control valve was not able to function properly.

13
LOW SALT WARNING (optional)
Salt Remaining or Adding Salt
If the Low Salt Warning option was factory installed the
following screens will be viewed in the User Display.
Note: The salt used per regeneration setting was set in
increments of 0.1 pounds, but the LBS REMAINING
screen will round up or down to the closest whole
number.
Once the salt remaining has gone below the set point, the display will automatically flash “Salt Fill”.
RESETTING THE SALT AMOUNT AFTER ADDING
When adding salt to the brine tank (if the salt remaining option is used) the following steps must be completed:
Step 1US – Press the NEXT button until SALT appears in the display.
It does not matter if the SALT display alternates with the LBS REMAINING display.
Step 2US – Press SET CLOCK.
Step 3US – Set LBS REMAINING: Use the or button to adjust the pounds remaining
in the brine tank.
NOTE: Estimate the pounds of salt in the brine tank and add it to the amount of salt added
to the brine tank. The example at the left would indicate 200 lbs. of salt being added to a
brine tank that has 40 lbs. remaining.
Step 4US – Press SET CLOCK to exit Adding Salt. The control is now in one of its three
normal operating displays. Press NEXT to view GAL CAPACITY REMAINING or TIME OF
DAY.

START UP INSTRUCTIONS
•After installation is completed rotate the bypass handles to the bypass position (see bypass valve
diagram page).
•Turn on water and check for leaks.
•Fully open a cold water faucet.
•Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris which may have occurred during installation.
•The system is now ready for filling with water and for testing.
1. With the bypass valve in the bypass position, manually pour enough water into the brine tank to reach the top of the air
check valve.
2. Press and hold the REGEN button until the motor starts. Release button. Wait until the display reads “BACK- WASH”
and the remaining time is counting down. Unplug transformer to prevent valve from moving to the next cycle.
3. Open the inlet handle of the bypass valve very slightly allowing water to fill the tank slowly in order to expel air.
CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly there will be a loss of media.
