Introduction INTRODUCTION Long term, successful operation of any water softening system depends upon the care and attention it receives. Ordinarily, water treatment systems will provide uniform performance after the initial start-up period and operation is stable. Gallonage delivery between regenerations and treated water purity usually do not vary appreciably over the life of the resins--as long as the mineral content of the incoming water does not change.

Introduction The Softening Process - When most of the reaction points have been occupied by Ca++ or Mg++ ions, hardness will begin to slip through the bed in increasing amounts. This rise in hardness in the effluent is an indication that the effective capacity of the CATION EXCHANGER has been reached.

Introduction NORMAL OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES Long term, reliable system performance depends upon how conscientiously the equipment is operated and maintained. Operator responsibilities to assure operation should include the following recommended practices: MAINTAIN OPERATING LOGS Operators should maintain close control of the process by monitoring system performance daily.

Introduction solution of salt water then passes downflow through the resin bed, through the lower hub and lateral distribution system, up the distributor pipe and exits through the drain port of the control valve and out to drain. The level of water in the brine tank should be drawn down from the preset level.

Placement of Water Treatment Equipment Locating the proper place for your water softener is important. Here are some important considerations before the placement of the system. 1. The unit should be located as close to the point of use of the treated water as is possible.

Loading the Mineral Tank with Media Below is a list of instructions for loading the mineral tank with media: 1. Remove the disposable retainer plug in the top of the mineral tank. This retainer plug is used to secure the distributor assembly inside the tank and protect it from damage during shipping and handling.
Page 13
Loading the Media and Mounting the Control Valve 5. Plug the top opening of the distributor pipe to keep any media from entering the pipe while loading the mineral tank. Fill the tank approximately 1/3 full of water. The water will aid as a cushion to protect the lower distributor assembly from gravel impact.

General Installation Plumbing Connections Note: All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. Inlet and Outlet Connections: Connect piping to unit using the Plumbing Diagram as a guide. Unions need to be installed in the inlet, outlet and drain piping to facilitate removal of the control valve for servicing. Connect the incoming untreated water line to the inlet connection on the left side of the control valve and the outgoing treated water line to the outlet connection on the right side of the control valve.

Control Valve Programming Programming Each control valve has been pre-programmed from the factory with the correct regeneration cycle program and cycle times. The gallon capacity between regeneration can be changed by adjusting the water hardness. Step 1 - Press the NEXT and the UP Arrow buttons at the same time and hold for 2 seconds. Step 2 - Raw Water Hardnes: Adjust to the correct hardness by pressing the UP or DOWN arrow button.

Control Valve Programming Set the Time of Day The time of day should only need to be set after initial installation or after an extended power outage. If an extended power outage has occurred, the time of day will flash indicating that it needs to be set. Step 1 - Press SET CLOCK Step 2 - Current Time of Day - Hours: Adjust to the correct hour by pressing the UP or DOWN arrow button.
