3. If the unit is located where the drain line must beelevated, you may elevate the line up to 6 feet(1.8 m) providing the run does not exceed15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure at conditioner isnot less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). You may elevate anadditional 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional10 psi (0.69 bar).4. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into adrain below the level of the control valve, form a7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so thatthe bottom of the loop is level with the drain lineconnection. This will provide an adequate siphontrap.5. Where the drain empties into an overhead sewerline, a sink-type trap must be used.IMPORTANT: Never insert drain line into a drain, sewerline or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drainline and the wastewater to prevent the possibility ofsewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner.Overflow Line ConnectionIn the absence of a safety overflow and in the event ofa malfunction, the BRINE TANK OVERFLOW will direct“overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floorwhere it could cause considerable damage. This fittingshould be on the side of the cabinet or brine tank.To connect overflow, locate hole on side of brine tank.Insert overflow fitting (not supplied) into tank and tightenwith plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown (Figure 4).Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing (notsupplied) to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevateoverflow line higher than 3 inches (7.6 cm) belowbottom of overflow fitting. Do not tie into drain line ofcontrol unit. Overflow line must be a direct, separate linefrom overflow fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an airgap as per drain line instructions (Figure 3).Right WayBrine TankOverflow FittingInstalledFigure 3Note: Standard commercial practices have beenexpressed here. Local codes may require changes tothese suggestions.Brine Line ConnectionIt will be necessary to install the brine line to the brinefitting on the valve (3/8-inch NPT).Be sure all fittings and connections are tight.Connect 1/2-inch (1.3-cm)Tubing or Hose and Runto DrainFigure 44
Placing Conditioner into OperationAfter all previous steps have been completed, the unit isready to be placed into operation. Follow these stepscarefully.1. Remove control valve cover by first releasing theplastic clip from the back of the cover. Pull back ofcover slightly outward and lift up.Note: The following steps will require turning theindicator knob (Figure 5 and Figure 6) to variouspositions. Manually rotate the camshaftCOUNTERCLOCKWISE only until indicator knobpoints to desired position. (See manualregeneration sections for each control’s manualoperation.)2. Rotate indicator knob COUNTERCLOCKWISEuntil it points directly to the word BACKWASH.3. Fill media tank with water.A. With water supply off, place the bypass valve(s)into the “not in bypass” position.B. Open water supply valve very slowly toapproximately the 1/4 open position.IMPORTANT: If opened too rapidly or too far, mediamay be lost. In the 1/4 open position, you should hearair escaping slowly from the drain line.C. When all of the air has been purged from thetank (water begins to flow steadily from thedrain), open the main supply valve all the way.D. Allow water to run to drain until clear.E. Turn off water supply and let the unit stand forabout five minutes. This will allow all trapped airto escape from the tank.4. Add water to brine tank (initial fill).With a bucket or hose, add approximately4 gallons (15 liters) of water to brine tank. If thetank has a salt platform above the bottom of thetank, add water until the level is approximately1 inch (25 mm) above the platform.5. Place the conditioner into operation.A. With the water supply valve completely open,carefully advance the indicator knobCOUNTERCLOCKWISE to the center of theBRINE REFILL position. Hold at this positionuntil water starts to flow through the brine lineinto the brine tank. Do not run for more than oneor two minutes.B. Advance the indicator knobCOUNTERCLOCKWISE until it points to thecenter of the BRINE/SLOW RINSE position.C. With the conditioner in this position, check tosee if water is being drawn from the brine tank.The water level in the brine tank will recede veryslowly. Observe water level for at least threeminutes. If the water level does not recede, or ifit goes up, reference the Troubleshootingsection.D. Advance the indicator knobCOUNTERCLOCKWISE to the SERVICEposition and run water from a nearby faucet untilthe water is clear and soft.Electrical Connection100 VAC, 115 VAC, and 230 VAC units: Remove twisttie from the power cord and extend cord to its full length.Make sure power source matches the rating printed onthe control. Be certain a wall switch does not control theoutlet.12 VAC: Connect the plug of the transformer (supplied)secondary cable to the mating socket at the rear orbottom of the timer housing. Be certain the transformeris secure and is plugged into a power source of correctvoltage that is not controlled by a wall switch.5
