METAL PIPE GROUNDING

METAL WATER PIPE GROUNDING
IMPORTANT:
This water
softener
has a non-metallic
valve system.
Installing
it on metal
plumbing
will break electrical
continuity,
which
may interrupt
grounding
for the
home.
You must restore electrical
conti-
nuity in your metal
plumbing
system.
If you installed
a 3-valve
bypass system (Fig. 14), elec-
trical continuity
will be maintained.
If you installed
the
non-metallic
bypass valve (Fig. 13), restore the ground
as follows:
Install a #4 copper
wire (parts not included)
across the
removed
section of metal
water
pipe, securely clamping
it at both ends (See Fig. 12). Be sure the pipes are
clean under the clamps,
to assure good contact.
NOTE: If you are installing
a sediment
filter
or other
item(s) into the plumbing
system, along
with the
water
softener,
be sure to restore electrical
con-
tinuity
across all removed
metal
pipe sections.
INSTALL COVERS
After installing your water
softener,
put the covers on.
Angle the covers so the top cover clips onto the back
first, then bring down in front and clip on the tabs
inside the rim and lower the salt lid closed (See Fig. 5).
CONNECT
TO ELECTRICAL
POWER
The softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical
power.
The included
transformer
changes
standard
120 volt AC
house power to 24 volts.
You must plug the water
soft-
ener's transformer
into a grounded,
120 volt outlet
only.
Be sure the outlet
is always
"live"
so it cannot
be
switched
off by mistake.
NOTE: The electrical
outlet you plug the transformer
into must be indoors,
protected
from weather.
RINSE OUT CARBON
FINES
Small particles
of carbon
filtration
material
are gener-
ated
during
manufacturing
and shipping,
which will exit
the media tank with the first water
flow.
These carbon
"fines"
are not harmful,
but give the water
a gray color
and should be rinsed down the drain before
any water
from the softener
is directed
to the home's faucets
or
water
heater.
CAUTION:
To avoid
water
or air
pressure
damage
to
softener
inner
parts,
and to flush
pipe
chips
or other
residue
from
the water
pipes,
be
sure to do the following
steps
exactly
as
instructed.
1. Make
sure the softener's
valve drain hose is hooked
up and the open end directed
to a floor drain,
laun-
dry tub or other suitable
type of drain.
2. The system should be connected
to electrical
power.
3. Place bypass valve(s) in "bypass"
position
(see
Figures 13 & 14). On a single valve, slide the stem
inward
to bypass.
On a 3-valve
bypass, close the
inlet and outlet
valves and open the bypass valve.
4. Fully open the house main water
pipe shutoff valve.
5. Initiate
a regeneration
by pressing
and holding
for 3
seconds the REGENERATION
button
(see Figure 15
on page 13). The valve motor will start running and
the valve will advance
to the "Fill" position.
6. After you hear the valve motor
stop running (valve in
"Fill"
position),
press, but do not hold, the REGENER-
ATION
button.
The valve will advance
to the "Brine"
position.
7. After you hear the valve motor stop running (valve in
"Brine"
position),
press, but do not hold, the REGEN-
ERATION
button.
The valve will advance
to the
"Backwash"
position.
8. Once the unit is in backwash,
place
bypass valve(s)
in SERVICE, EXACTLY as follows:
a. Single Bypass Valve:
Slowly, slide pull the valve
stem outward
toward
service,
pausing several times
to allow the softener
to pressurize
gradually.
b. 3-Valve
Bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and
open the outlet
valve.
Slowl_z open the inlet valve,
pausing
several times to allow the softener
to pres-
surize gradually.
9. Let the softener
complete
the backwash
and fast
rinse cycles (takes about 20 minutes).
When the
regeneration
ends, the softener's
valve returns to the
service
position.
