• This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• Keep the unit in the upright position. Do not turn on side, upside down, or drop. Turning the tank upside down will cause media to enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between 34°F (1°C) and 120°F (49°C).
• Operating water temperature is between 35°F (1°F) and
100°F (38°C).
• Working water pressure range is 20 to 125 psi
(1.38 to 8.61 bar). In Canada, the acceptable working water pressure range is 20 to 100 psi (1.38 to 6.89 bar).
• Use only salts designed for water softening. Acceptable salt type is sodium chloride pellet salt.
• Follow state and local codes for water testing. Do not use water that is micro-biologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
• When filling media tank, do not open water valve completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent media from exiting the tank.
• Always make modifications to house plumbing first.
Connect to valve last.
• Plastic parts and O-rings may be damaged by heat and solvents. When constructing plumbing connections, allow heated parts to cool and protect parts from solvents.
System Recharge Cycles
Service (Downflow):
Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the water. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.
When a recharge cycle starts, the softener goes through seven cycles. During the recharge cycle, the softener will allow untreated water to bypass into the building.
1. Backwash 1 (Upflow):
The flow of water is reversed by the control valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin bed.
During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain.
2. Brine Draw (Downflow):
The brine draw cycle takes place during the slow rinse cycle. The control directs water through the brine injector and brine is drawn from the salt tank. Brine draw is completed when the air check in the salt tank closes.
Slow Rinse (Downflow):
The brine is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. The hardness ions are displaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The resin is recharged during the brine cycle.
3. Repressurize Cycle (Hard Water Bypass Flapper Open):
This cycle closes the flappers for a short time to allow the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the recharge.
4. Fast Rinse 1 (Downflow):
The control directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. Any remaining brine residual is rinsed from the resin bed.
5. Backwash 2 (Upflow):
The flow of water is reversed by the control valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin bed.
During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain.
6. Fast Rinse 2 (Downflow):
The control directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. Any remaining brine residual is rinsed from the resin bed.
7. Brine Refill:
Water is directed to the salt tank at a controlled rate, to create brine for the next recharge.

Location Selection
Location of a water treatment system is important. The following conditions are required:
• Level platform or floor.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C) and below 120°F
(49°C).
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8.61 bar) and above
20 psi (1.4 bar).
• In Canada, the water pressure must be below 100 psi
(6.89 bar).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the controller.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system.
• Local drain or tub for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves.
• Must meet any local and state codes for site of installation.
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do not support weight of system on the plumbing.
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding salt to tank.
Figure 5
Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the equipment be installed indoors.
When the water conditioning system must be installed outdoors, several items must be considered.
• Moisture — The valve and controller are rated for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not affect performance.
The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity or water spray from below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment, upwards spray from sprinkler.
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will fade or discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the materials will not degrade to cause system failures.
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures may cause damage to the valve or controller.
Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve.
This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as well as the plumbing.
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas.
Things You Need to Know
• When the controller is first plugged in, it may display an Err 3, this means that the controller is rotating the camshaft to the home position.
• The preset default time of recharge is 2:00 AM.
• Make sure control power source is plugged in. The transformer should be connected to a non-switched power source.
• Test your water. Take a 4-5 oz sample of your water to someone who can test for hardness. This information will be used to setup the control.

Grounding the Plumbing
It is important that the plumbing system be electrically grounded. When a water softener is installed, a nonmetallic bypass valve may interrupt the grounding. To maintain continuity, a grounding strap can be purchased at a hardware store. When it is installed, the strap will connect the plumbing into the softener to the plumbing out of the softener.
If you have other water treating equipment such as; chlorinator, sediment filter, neutralizer, iron filter, or taste & odor filter, they should be installed upstream of the water softener.
You may wish to consult a water professional if additional water treating equipment is to be installed.

IMPORTANT: When the valve is in bypass, water will not enter the softening tank. The water in the building will not be treated. Figure 9 Bypass Operation, shows the handles in the service position.
WARNING:
The inlet water must be connected to the inlet port of the valve. When replacing a water valve, it is possible that the inlet and outlet plumbing is installed in a reversed position. Be certain the inlet connection on the valve is connected to the incoming water fitting from the water supply. Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
WARNING: Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100% silicone grease products when installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone grease may cause plastic components to fail over time.
The bypass assembly connects to the water system by means of a connector assembly. The connector is secured to the plumbing and then inserted into the bypass. A clip is used to hold it in place.

Water Line Connection
Once you have selected your location, check the direction of the water flow in the main pipe.
Inspect the main water pipe. Write down the type of pipe
(copper, plastic, galvanized etc.). Record the size of the pipe.
Plastic style pipes usually have the size printed on the outside.
Other pipes can be measured for the outside diameter and converted into the pipe size at the store. Do not use pipe that is smaller than the main water pipe.

Figure 10 Connector Assembly
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION continued
Before inserting the connector:
• Check that all O-rings are in place and not damaged.
• O-rings are pre-lubricated. Sliding surfaces should be lubricated with 100% silicone grease.
Firmly insert connector into bypass. Press locking clip into position. Make certain the clip is fully engaged.
NOTE: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will help seat O-rings and prevent leaking.
To remove a clip:
1. Turn off water and release water pressure at the valve.
2. Push the water line connectors into the bypass and valve.
This will help release O-rings that may have seated in place.
3. Remove the clip by inserting a flat blade under the top center of the clip and lifting (prying up) (Figure 10
Connector Assembly).
WARNING: Do not use pliers to remove a clip. It is likely the clip will break.
Drain Line Connection
NOTE: Standard commercial practices are expressed here.
Local codes may require changes to the following suggestions. Check with local authorities before installing a system.
1. The unit should be above and not more than 20 feet (6.1 m) from the drain. Use an appropriate adapter fitting to connect 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) plastic tubing to the drain line connection of the control valve.
2. If the unit is located 20-40 feet (6.1-12.2 m) from drain, use
3/4-inch (1.9 cm) tubing. Use appropriate fittings to connect the 3/4-inch tubing to the 3/4-inch NPT drain connection on valve.
3. The drain line may be elevated up to 6 feet (1.8 m) providing the run does not exceed 15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure at the softener is not less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). Elevation can increase by 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional 10 psi (.69 bar) of water pressure at the drain connector.
4. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line connection. This will provide an adequate siphon trap.
Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used.
NOTE: The drain line connects to the elbow previously installed. It is located between the water line connections at the rear of the valve.
5. Use pliers to expand a clamp. Slide the clamp up one end of the longer length drain line tubing about 1-2 inches and release.
6. Push the tubing over the ribbed drain line fitting.
7. Expand the clamp and move it up the tube to pinch the tube to the fitting.
8. Secure the discharge end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.
Overflow
Connection
Right Way
Figure 11 Drain Line Connection
NOTE:
Waste connections or drain outlet shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air-gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch (22 mm) whichever is larger.
WARNING: Never insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap (Figure 11 Drain Line
Connection). Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the softener.
Overflow Line Connection
In the event of a malfunction, the salt TANK OVERFLOW will direct “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor.
This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet.
To connect the overflow line, locate the tubing connector on the side of the tank (Figure 12 Tubing Connections). Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher than overflow fitting.
Do not tie into drain line of control unit. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions.
Salt Line Opening
Figure 12 Tubing Connections
AUTOTROL 368 Service Manual• 7
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION continued
Salt Line Connection
The salt line from the brine tube connects to the valve. Make certain the connections are hand tightened. Be sure that the salt line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak may cause the salt line to drain out, and the softener will not draw salt from the tank. This may also introduce air into the valve causing problems with valve operation.
To install the brine line:
1. Inside the salt tank, remove the cap from the large cylinder to gain access to the connection.
2. Be sure the brass insert is in the end of the brine tubing.
Insert the tubing through the opening in the tank.
3. Push the tubing into the plastic nut. Slowly unscrew the nut until the tubing moves into the connection. The tubing will hit bottom.
NOTE: Once the tubing has been pushed into the nut, it cannot be pulled out. The nut will need to be removed. See
Figure 13 for correct assembly.
4. Hand tighten the nut until the connection is tight.
Figure 13
Electrical Connection
WARNING: This valve and control are for dry location use only, unless used with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for outdoor use.

3. Filling the media tank with water.
A. With the conditioner in backwash, open the water supply valve very slowly to approximately the 1/4 open position.
Water will begin to enter the media tank. Air will begin to be purged to drain as the media tank fills with water.
WARNING:
If opened too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out of the tank into the valve or the plumbing. In the 1/4 open position, you should hear air slowly escaping from the valve drain line.
B. When all of the air has been purged from the media tank (water begins to flow steadily from the drain line), open the main supply valve all of the way. This will purge the final air from the tank.
C. Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear from the drain line. This purges any debris from the media bed.
D. Pour water into the brine tank. Advance to cycle 2 (Brine
Draw) by pressing the and buttons at the same time. The water in the brine tank should be drawn into the valve. If the water is not receding from the tank, refer to Troubleshooting.
E. Quickly cycle the control to the refill cycle (C7). Place salt in brine tank. Allow this cycle to finish and the control to move to service. The brine tank will have the correct amount of water.
WARNING: Ensure that the system has been properly disinfected per the water conditioning system manufacturer's recommendations.
The water conditioning system is now fully operational.
The display will show the hour of the day. The decimal point at bottom center of the display will blink when water is flowing.
