How Your Water Softener Works
Hard water enters your home through the main supply line, enters your water softener, and passes down through a bed of ion
exchange resin which softens and filters the water as well. An ion exchange process takes place in which the resin beads
capture and hold calcium and magnesium, the hardness impurities, while the water takes on sodium ions. The soft water then
flows up and into your household water line.
Your calendar clock water softener can be programmed to operate according to your needs by making the appropriate settings
on the 24-hour timer and twelve day timer control. See page 4.
Your meter initiated water softener is set by aligning the number of people with the grains of hardness on the program wheel. See
page 4.
On the days your water softener regenerates, the resin is automatically recharged by passing a brine solution (salt water)
through it. This reverses the ion exchange process, charging the resin with sodium and freeing the hardness minerals. These
minerals and the brine solution are flushed away through the drain line and followed by a rapid rinse. The resin bed is again
ready to soften water. The proper volume of water is returned to the brine tank to dissolve enough salt for the next
regeneration. All this is performed automatically.
Installation Instructions
CAUTION:
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the
water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper
water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the
Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding
strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut
in order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding
strap will depend upon the number of units being installed
and/or the amount of copper pipe being replaced with poly.
See Figure 1.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later
interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve as in Figure
1 or by physical separation as in Figure 2, to maintain proper
metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not less
than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity.
Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and
cable size.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Operating Temperature Range = 34° to 110°F (1° to 43°C). Operating Pressure Range = 20 to 120 psi (1.37 to 8.27 bar). The manufacturer reserves the right to make product
improvements which may deviate from the specifications and descriptions shown above, without obligation to change previously manufactured products or to note the change.
CAUTION: These products are not intended to be used to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
NOTES:
(1) 10lb/cu.ft. salt dosage is the standard factory setting. (2) The Service Flow Rate given will not exceed a pressure drop of 15psi. (3) Dimensions of cylindrical tanks shown are diameter (or width) x
height. Cabinets shown as length x width x height.
