The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet and drain connections made in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations and to meet applicable plumbing codes.
1. Remove control box cover.
2. Make “Time of Day” setting and set “Program Wheel”. (See time control instructions). Rotate program wheel
counter clockwise until it stops at regeneration position.
3. Observe regeneration cycle settings. Arrange cycle times as determined in “Item 4” on “Page 2”.
4. Add three inches of water to brine tank.
5. Note: To set the control to the various positions noted below. Turn the manual regeneraton knob slowly in a
clockwise direction until the Program Micro Switch lifts on top of the first set of pins. Allow the drive motor to move
the piston to the first regeneration step and stop. Each time the Program Switch position changes, the valve will
advance to the next regeneration step. Always allow the motor to stop before moving to the next set of pins or
spaces. (See “Timer Program” instructions).
Control Valve Positions:
a. Service Drive shaft out
b. Backwash Drive shaft in
c. Brine / Slow Rinse Drive shaft 1/2 way out
d. Rapid Rinse Drive shaft 3/4 way out
e. Brine Tank Fill Drive shaft out but brine cam holds brine valve stem in.
6. Position valve to backwash and check to make sure that drain line flow remains steady for ten (10) minutes or until
clear (see above).
7. Position valve to brine / slow rinse position and check to see that the unit is drawing water from brine tank (this step
may need repeating).
8. Position valve to rapid rinse and check the drain line flow, run for 5 min. or until the water is clear. (Note: Rapid
rinse and backwash flow rates should be the same).
9. Position valve to start of brine tank fill cycle. See that water goes into the brine tank at proper rate. Brine valve drive
cam will hold valve in at this position to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
10. Replace control box cover.
11. Put salt in brine tank (do not use granulated or rock salt).
