PREINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALERS:

The manufacturer has preset the water treatment unit’s sequence of cycles and cycle times.

The dealer should read this page and guide the installer regarding day override, time of regeneration, service alarm and buzzer alarm settings before installation.

For the installer, the following must be used: see Operating Displays and Instructions for more details), Service Alarms (preset to “OFF”) and Buzzer Alarm

(preset to start at 6 a.m. and end at 10 p.m.)

• Read Normal Operating Displays

• Set Time of Day

• Read Power Loss & Error Display

For the homeowner, please read sections on Bypass Valve and Operating Displays and Maintenance.

During operation, the normal user display is time of day and gallons per minute.

Flow Rate, Vacation Mode, Capacity Remaining and Days to a Regeneration are optional displays but are not normally used. (Vacation Mode is used only when there will be no water usage for an extended period of time. If activated, once

50 gallons of water is used, the unit will automatically regenerate that night and resume normal operation.) Each of these can be viewed by pressing

NEXT

to scroll through them. When stepping through any programming, if no buttons are pressed within 5 minutes, the display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the 5 minute time out are incorporated. To quickly exit any Programming, Installer Settings, etc., press

SET CLOCK

. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.

If desired, two regenerations within 24 hours are possible with a return to the preset program.

To do a double regeneration:

1. Press the

REGEN

button once. “REGEN TODAY” will flash on the display.

2. Press and hold the

REGEN

button for three seconds until a regeneration begins.

Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset.

BYPASS VALVE:

The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building. Be sure to install bypass valve onto main control valve, before beginning plumbing. Or, make provisions in the plumbing system for a bypass. The bypass body and rotors are glass-filled Noryl ® and the nuts and caps are glass-filled polypropylene. All seals are self-lubricating

EPDM to help prevent valve seizing after long periods of non-use. Internal “O” Rings can easily be replaced if service is required.

The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow shaped handles. The handles identify the direction of flow. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.

1. NORMAL OPERATION POSITION: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows on the control valve. Water flows through the control valve for normal operation of a water softener. During the regeneration cycle this position provides regeneration water to the unit, while also providing untreated water to the distribution system (Fig. 1).

2. BYPASS POSITION: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass. The system is isolated from the water pressure in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the building (Fig. 2).

3. DIAGNOSTIC POSITION: The inlet handle points toward the control valve and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass valve. Untreated supply water is allowed to flow to the system and to the building, while not allowing water to exit from the system to the building (Fig. 3). This allows the service technician to draw brine and perform other tests without the test water going to the building.

NOTE: The system must be rinsed before returning the bypass valve to the normal position.

4. SHUT OFF POSITION: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points away from the control valve. The water is shut off to the building. The water treatment system will depressurize upon opening a tap in the building. A negative pressure in the building combined with the softener being in regeneration could cause a siphoning of brine into the building. If water is available on the outlet side of the softener, it is an indication of water bypassing the system (Fig. 4) (i.e. a plumbing cross-connection somewhere in the building).

INSTALLATION:

GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS

The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping, but the water softener is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black

“O” Rings, but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon ® tape must be used on the threads of the 1” NPT inlet and outlet, the brine line connection at the control valve, and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon ® tape is not used on the nut connections or caps because “O” Ring seals are used. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic Service Wrench, #CV3193-02. If necessary pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

• water pressure – 25-100 psi

• water temperature – 33-100°F (0.5-37.7°C)

• electrical – 115/120V, 60Hz uninterrupted outlet

• current draw is 0.5 amperes

• the plug-in transformer is for dry locations only

• the tank should be on a firm level surface

WELL WATER INSTALLATION MUNICIPAL INSTALLATION

1. The distance between the drain and the water conditioner should be as short as possible.

2. Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater.

CAUTION: To protect the unit in the event of a hot water heater backup, the manufacturer recommends the use of an expansion tank on the outlet side of the unit.

3. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures under 33°F.

4. Do not subject the tank to any vacuum, as this may cause an “implosion” and could result in leaking. If there is a possibility a vacuum could occur, please make provision for a vacuum breaker in the installation.

5. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Be sure to install Bypass Valve onto main control valve before beginning plumbing.

Make provisions to bypass outside hydrant and cold hard water lines at this time. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit. There are a variety of installation fittings available. They are listed under Installation Fitting Assemblies, page 26-27. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and “O” Ring.

Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or “O” Ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and “O” Ring. Avoid getting solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the “O” Rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, install a copper grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe. Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local codes.

5

When installing an air regenerating filter the customer may experience, under certain conditions, small amounts of air (cloudy water) at the taps. This is normal. On rare occasions, this may result in “shots of air” at a particular fixture. By installing a loop or “U” on the outlet side of the unit, this will act as an air trap and improve this situation.

(Air charge models only)

Located inside the inlet is an internal check valve (see diagram at right).

This check valve holds the air in the system, preventing its escape from the tank. Plumbing codes may require the installation of a thermal expansion tank on the outlet side of the system to prevent a water heater backup condition.

(See Installation Diagrams on page 5.)

Provisions should be made to bypass outside hydrants that are not to have filtered water. It is also advisable to install hose bibs on the inlet and outside of the filter for future testing and service of the equipment. Where heavy sediment from the well is observed, it is advisable to install a cartridge or bag-style filter immediately upstream from the filter. A nominal micron rating of 50 to 100 is recommended. The purpose of this is to protect the control valve of any debris from the well.

If desired, a cartridge filter may be used after the system as a polishing filter.

6. INSTALLING GROUND: To maintain an electrical ground in metal plumbing of a home’s cold water piping (such as a copper plumbing system), install a ground clamp or jumper wiring. If replacing an existing filter, also replace the ground clamps/wire. If removing a filter, replace the piping with the same type of piping as the original to assure plumbing integrity and grounding.

7. DRAIN LINE: First, be sure that the drain can handle the backwash rate of the system. Solder joints near the valve must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the drain line flow control fitting and solder joints. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the flow control.

Backwash of an automatic filter can be directed into a septic tank in most cases, but because of the higher volume of water discharged, care should be taken. The backwash discharge can be directed to a subsurface drainage system or other safe location. Remember to follow all local codes.

When installing the drain line on any backwashing filter, especially Evolve filters that utilize air as the regenerant, hard piping such as PVC, Schedule 80 Plastic or copper is recommended. Remove the drain line nut (if included) and discard.

A 3/4” NPT connection on the elbow is provided. During backwash, high volumes of water (more than a softener) and air can be expelled. This release of air can cause a thrashing or movement of the drain line causing it to dislodge from the drain, resulting in water damage. In order to prevent this, it is recommended to use other means of securing the drain line

to the floor, wall or ceiling to avoid this thrashing of piping. Our patent pending Backwash Air cycle greatly reduces the chance of this occurring but should not be the only means of protection.

Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7” loop at the discharge end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain connection on the control valve. This will provide an adequate anti-siphon trap. Piping the drain line overhead <10 ft is normally not a problem. Be sure adequate pressure is available (40-60 psi is recommended). Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used. Run drain to its discharge point in accordance with plumbing codes. Pay special attention to codes for air gaps and anti-siphon devices.

CAUTION: Never insert a drain line into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner.

8. CHECK VALVE: All air systems include an internal check valve and screen assembly as part of the air draw system (see diagram at

right). This check valve, screen, and elbow are exclusive to the air system and are not to be confused or interchanged with a brine elbow used on a softener. The gray color of the elbow indicates use with an air system vs. a black elbow which indicates use with a water softeners.

NOTE: Under certain conditions (finished basements, utility room, etc.)it may be advisable to disconnect the screen and run a 3 /

9. DISINFECTION OF SYSTEM: In situations where additional disinfection is needed, due to high levels of iron or sulfur bacteria, this may be accomplished with a small chlorine feeder (see diagram at right). It can be used in conjunction with air systems and is used to control bacterial growth within the filter vessel itself. It is not used to control bacteria downstream of the filter nor for disinfection of the water itself. Chlorine disinfection is not used with some medias such as Birm. Please consult distributor or factory for more details.

This tank operates much the same way a brine tank does with a water softener.

A small amount of water is added to the tank just prior to regeneration, which comes into contact with the chlorine pellets, dissolves them and is then drawn into the filter to disinfect the system periodically and then safely rinsed away. We recommend the use of pellets manufactured by Better Water Industries, available through the manufacturer or your local distributor.

To Dealer:

CAUTION: On certain Evolve air models, the Backwash Air cycle is not available when using the chlorine

CHLORINE FEEDER TANK

feeder tank. Drain line must be of rigid materials and affixed securely to floor, wall or ceiling. See Drain Line instructions.

This tank has many intended uses. If chlorine is being used, add only two or three pellets (two or three grams) of chlorine at a time. We recommend Better

Water Industries chlorine pellets. Do not overfill container. Use rubber gloves when handling pellets. Always read safety precautions of chemical container before adding to tank.

If chlorine is being used, never add or mix any chemical in chlorine tank other than chlorine. Always read safety precautions on container before adding any chemical to this tank. Only use in well ventilated area. Chlorine fumes can be corrosive and harmful. Inhalation of chlorine gas can be deadly. Use drip pan underneath tank in case of corrosion or leaking of tank. Always install an overflow line to the chlorine tank and run to an appropriate drain. Do not connect drain from filter to this tank. Drains should remain separate.

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS:

FLUSHING OF SYSTEM:

To flush the system of any debris and air after installation is complete, please perform the following steps:

1. Rotate bypass handles to the bypass mode (see Fig. 2 of page 4).

2. Turn on inlet water and check for leaks in the newly installed plumbing.

3. Fully open a cold water faucet, preferable at a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator.

4.

System regeneration sequence is in the following order. Some sequence differences may be noticed depending upon local conditions. (If it is desired to change this sequence, please refer to the Dealer Manual or contact the manufacturer.)

4. Backwash

Inch Worm Feature: Evolve air units are programmed with the backwash air cycle feature (nicknamed “inch worm”). This unique feature allows for small movements or “inching” of the piston towards the backwash cycle. As the piston approaches this cycle, the backwash port opens slightly with each advancement, allowing air to escape to drain.

This cycle is ten very small mini steps of the piston which take place thirty seconds apart. Usually midway between the ten positions, the air begins to be released very slowly to the drain in normal operating conditions.

When first starting up an air sulfur or air iron, it is advised to step through these positions and go to the normal backwash cycle in order to fill the unit.

To advance in Backwash Air cycle:

1. Pushing the

NEXT

button will advance to each of the ten mini steps within the backwash air cycle. While there are usually eight steps to this cycle, the valve may make two or three movements for each step. Wait for these movements to complete before pressing

NEXT

again.

2. Pushing and holding the

REGEN

button for three seconds while in the Backwash Air cycle will skip the remaining mini steps and proceed to the next cycle of regeneration which is usually Backwash.

The system is now ready for filling with water and for testing.

1. Place the bypass valve into the bypass mode (Fig. 2 on page 4).

2. Press and hold the

REGEN

button until the motor starts. Release button. Put the valve into “BACKWASH” position. (Please

see note above.) Unplug the transformer so that the valve will not cycle to the next position. Open the inlet handle of the bypass valve very slightly allowing water to fill the tank slowly in order to expel air.

CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly, there will be a loss of media to the drain. Certain medias such as carbon, or other dry media, should not be backwashed immediately for extended periods of time. These medias need to “soak” in the water for a 24-hour period prior to full backwash conditions.

Media is dry and filling with water too quickly in backwash will result in media plugging the drain and valve assembly.

3. When the water is flowing steadily to the drain without the presence of air, slowly open the inlet valve. Restore power and momentarily press the

REGEN

button to advance the control to the “REGENERANT DRAW DOWN” position.

4. With the bypass still in the diagnostic mode (Fig. 3 on page 4), there should be a slow flow to the drain.

5. Press

REGEN

button in sequence until display returns to “TIME.” Place bypass valve in the normal operating mode

(Fig. 1 on page 4) by opening the outlet bypass handle.

6. Go to laundry tub or bathtub faucet, preferable a faucet without an aerator, and turn on cold water. Let the water run.

Note the color of water coming from faucet. If discolored, let water run until clear. If severely discolored, place unit into

“BACKWASH” position (step 2) and run water to the system’s drain until clear.

Note: At no time should there by large particles of media noticed at faucet or laundry tub. If this is seen, immediately shut off water and bypass system, as this could be an indication of a distributor failure. Contact manufacturer or distributor for assistance.

7. Place unit into regeneration again and allow to complete cycle. Upon completion, unit will be regenerated and will deliver treated water.

OPERATING DISPLAYS AND INSTRUCTIONS:

The air sulfur and air iron filter systems look and function much like any backwashing whole house filter; however, unlike these conventional filters, they use air as a regenerant. This atmospheric air (containing oxygen) helps convert iron or hydrogen sulfide into particles. These filters capture the particles of iron or hydrogen sulfide gas within the filter media. Your dealer has recommended the proper media depending on your local water conditions. In some cases where an acidic water condition (low pH) is present, the media may need to be periodically replenished if using this filter to raise the pH to an acceptable level. Consult dealer for this service. The system is prefactory set to regenerate every (3) three days at midnight. The frequency and start time of backwash/regeneration is adjustable to meet local operating conditions and contaminant levels. Total backwash and recharge time is normally one half hour.

1. GENERAL OPERATION: When the system is operating, one of five displays may be shown and will alternate with the installing dealer’s name and phone number for future service. Pressing

If a water meter is installed, “GPM” flashes on the display when water is being treated, indicating gallons per minute going through the system.

2. VACATION MODE: This feature may be used to “shut down” the system while on vacation. The manufacturer has factory set “OFF” as the default. Turn feature “OFF” or “ON” using the + or — buttons. When turned “ON”, the unit will not regenerate while there is no water usage. Once water usage is observed (minimum of 50 gallons), the unit will automatically regenerate that night and resume normal operation.

CAUTION: Depending on the severity of water conditions and the length of no water usage, it may not be recommended to use this feature. Please contact dealer or manufacturer for more information.

3. REGENERATION MODE: Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of no water usage. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be delivered. When the system begins to regenerate, the display will include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.

This command cannot be cancelled.

Once a manual regeneration is initiated, the unit will enter the first regeneration cycle. Once the unit advances to its first position and subsequent positions thereafter (see Start Up Instructions for regeneration sequence), the water filter will deliver water, but it will be untreated.

5. POWER LOSS AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT: The transformer comes with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve; the transformer should only be used in a dry location.

In the event of a power outage, the control valve will remember all settings and time of day. If an extended power outage occurs, the control valve will keep time of day until the battery is depleted. When the battery becomes depleted, the only item that needs to be reset is the time of day and will be indicated by the time of day flashing or by a blank screen. All other settings are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory.

If a power loss occurs and the time of day flashes or a blank screen occurs, this indicates that the battery is depleted. The time of day should be reset and the nonrechargeable battery should be replaced. The battery is a 3 Volt Lithium Coin Cell type 2032 and is readily available at most stores. To access battery location, remove front cover (see diagram on page 18 for battery location).

6. AUDIBLE ALARM: This control valve is equipped with an audible alarm and visual alarm. This alarm is set by the installing dealer and is used to warn of pending service, based on gallons or time.

To turn off alarm: If the audible alarm sounds, press any button on the face of the control valve to turn off and call the dealer for service.

To reset: Both the gallon alarm setting and time alarm setting are reset together by pushing and holding the + and – simultaneously for three seconds.

7. ERROR MESSAGE: If the word “ERROR” appears and flashes alternately with the dealer name and phone number, record the ERROR number and your contact servicing dealer promptly. This indicates that the control valve was not able to function properly.

8. CHLORINE TANK AND MAINTENANCE: In severe cases where iron or sulfate bacteria conditions exist, the dealer may have installed a chlorine tank with your system (see diagram, page 7).

These bacteria are harmless to human health, however they can produce a slime and occasionally an odor that can be a nuisance. Filters equipped with a chlorine tank will periodically draw a chlorinated water solution into the filter tank killing these unwanted bacteria within the filter itself. The chlorine is rinsed from the system during the regeneration process. More specifically, a small amount of water will be added to the tank just prior to regeneration; this comes in contact with the chlorine pellets, dissolves them, and is drawn into the filter to disinfect the system periodically.

We recommend the use of pellets manufactured by Better Water Industries, available through your dealer. Periodically check storage tank and add two or three chlorine tablets (two or three grams) at a time.

CAUTION: This tank has many intended uses. If chlorine is being used, only add two or three pellets (two or three grams) of chlorine at a time. We recommend Better Water

Industries chlorine pellets. Do not overfill container. Use rubber gloves when handling pellets. Always read safety precautions of chemical container before adding to tank. Keep out of reach of children!

If chlorine is being used, never add or mix any chemical in chlorine tank other than chlorine. Only use in well ventilated area. Chlorine gas can be corrosive and harmful.

Inhalation of chlorine gas can be deadly. Use drip pan underneath tank in case of corrosion or leaking of tank.

REPLACEMENT MINERAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR ACID NEUTRALIZERS:

The EACG Iron Filter/Acid Neutralizer will remove iron and also raise the pH of mildly acidic water. The EVAN

Upflow Acid Neutralizer will raise the pH of acidic water. The raising of pH utilizes a sacrificial mineral that will need replenishment every 6 to 12 months. Typically the media should not be below the halfway point in the tank. In order to check the mineral height and before adding mineral to the system, please follow these instructions.

1. Check the media height by shining a flashlight through the tank to see the height of the mineral. If the level is not seen, the top fill plug will have to be removed (if available) to measure the height. Proceed to step 2.

2. To remove top fill plug, turn off the source of the water and open a conditioned water tap to relieve the water pressure on the system. Place unit into the bypass mode. Unscrew the top fill plug.

CAUTION: Never unscrew top fill plug unless pressure is fully released from system.

Serious injury and/or flooding can occur.

3. Siphon out some water from the tank through the dome hole. This will allow room when adding the media.

4. Add the appropriate amount of calcite (replacement media) through the dome hole. If needed, siphon out more water as the media will displace the water inside the tank. Pay close attention to media level when filling. Do not

overfill. The additional media added should not be higher than two-thirds of the tank height when measuring from the bottom (see diagram). Once the right height has been achieved, replace top fill plug. Grease “O” ring if necessary using only silicone grease. Do not use petroleum based grease such as Vaseline. Tighten appropriately.

5. Leaving controller in the bypass position, turn on water source and refer to the start-up instructions of the controller and complete the procedure.

6. Once start up is complete, please check the top fill plug for any leaking.

All other parts and components.

Any part found defective within the terms of this warranty will be repaired or replaced by the dealer at the manufacturer’s discretion. You pay only freight from our factory and local dealer charges.
