Water Inc wi-hp9100-TS Upflou - Manual (Page 2)

SAFETY INFORMATION
This water conditioner’s control valve conforms to UL/CE
Standards. Generic valves were tested and certified for
compliance as verified by the agency listing.
• Please review the entire Installation and Operation
Manual before installing the water conditioning system.
• As with all plumbing projects, it is recommended that
a trained professional water treatment dealer install
the water conditioning system. Please follow all local
plumbing codes for installing this water conditioning
system.
• This system will not make microbiologically unsafe water
safe. Water that is unsafe must be treated separately
from this conditioner.
• This water conditioning system is to be used only for
potable water.
• Inspect the water conditioning system for carrier shortage
or shipping damage before beginning installation.
• Use only lead-free solder and flux, as required by
federal and state codes, when installing soldered copper
plumbing.
• Use caution when installing soldered metal piping near
the water conditioning system. Heat can adversely affect
the plastic control valve and bypass valve.
• All plastic connections should be hand tightened. Teflon*
tape may be used on connections that do not use an
O-ring seal. Do not use pipe dope type sealants on the
valve body. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches.
• Do not use petroleum-based lubricants such as Vaseline,
oils or hydrocarbon-based lubricants. Use only 100%
silicone lubricants.
• Use only the power transformer supplied with this water
conditioning system.
• All electrical connections must be completed according to
local codes.
• The power outlet must be grounded
• Install an appropriate grounding strap across the inlet and
outlet piping of the water conditioning system to ensure
that a proper ground is maintained.
• To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its
power source.
• Observe drain line requirements.
• Do not support the weight of the system on the control
valve fittings, plumbing, or the bypass.
• Do not allow this water conditioning system to freeze.
Damage from freezing will void this water conditioning
system’s warranty.
• Operating ambient temperature: 34° to 120°F (1° to
49°C).
• Operating water temperature: 34° to 100°F (1° to 38°C).
• Operating water pressure range : 20 to 120 psi (1.38
to 8.27 bar). In Canada the acceptable operating water
pressure range is 20 to 100 psi (1.38 to 6.89 bar).
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn
upside down or drop. Turning the tank upside down or
laying the tank on its side can cause media to enter the
valve.
• Use only regenerants designed for water conditioning. Do
not use ice melting salt, block salt or rock salt.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This installation manual is designed to guide the installer
through the process of installing and starting water conditioning
systems featuring the 9100 TS controller.
This manual is a reference and will not include every system
installation situation. The person installing this equipment
should have:
• Training in the 9100 TS control and the 9000/9100 valve.
• Knowledge of water conditioning and how to determine
proper control settings.
• Adequate plumbing skills.
GENERAL AND COMMERCIAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit.
NOTE: Be sure the tank is level and on a firm base.
2. During cold weather it is recommended that the installer
warm the valve to room temperature before operating.
3. Perform all plumbing according to local plumbing codes.
— Use a 1/2" minimum pipe size for the drain.
— Use a 3/4" drain line for backwash flow rates that exceed
7 gpm or length that exceeds 20' (6 m).
4. Both tanks must be the same height and diameter and filled
with equal amounts of media.
5. The distributor tube must be flush with the top of each tank.
Cut if necessary. Use only non-aerosol siliconelubricant.
6. Lubricate the distributor O-ring seal and tank O-ring seal.
Place the main control valve on one tank and the tank
adapter on the second tank.
NOTE: If required, solder copper tubing for tank
interconnection before assembling on the
main control valve and tank adapter. Maintain a
minimum of 1" distance between tanks on final
assembly.
7. Solder joints near the drain must be done before
connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC).Leave
at least 6" (152 mm) between the DLFC and solder joints
when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC.
Failure to do this could cause interior damage to DLFC.
8. Use only Teflon tape on the drain fitting.
9. Be sure the floor under the salt storage tank is clean and
level.
10. Place approximately 1" (25 mm) of water above the grid
plate. If a grid is not utilized, fill to the top of the air check in
the salt tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
11. On units with a bypass, place in Bypass position.
— Turn on the main water supply.
— Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let water run a
few minutes or until the system is free of foreign material
(usually solder) resulting from the installation. Close the
water tap when water runs clean.
12. Place the bypass In Service position and let water flow into
the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly open a cold
water tap nearby and let water run until air is purged from
the unit. Then close tap.
13. Make all electrical connections according to codes. Plug the
valve into an approved power source. Do not insert meter
cable into the meter yet.
14. Tank one has control valve and tank two has adapter.
15. Look on the right side of the control valve, it has indicators
showing which position the control valve is in during
Regeneration and which tank is In Service.
