GENERAL WARNINGS
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not
designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
DO NOT use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubrications 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.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the optional maintenance wrench (p/n
V3193). If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. DO NOT use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts
or caps. DO NOT place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
Do not use pipe dope or any other sealant on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the 1” NPT elbow or the
1/4” NPT connection and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection
or caps because of o-ring seals.
After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive assembly and pistons, unplug power source jack from the
printed circuit (PC) board (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service position.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size of the drain line should be a
minimum of 1/2”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 3/4” drain line.
Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between
the drain line control and fitting solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the drain line control fitting.
Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting.
When assembling the installation fitting package p/n V3007 (inlet and outlet - see page 9), 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 primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or
control valve.
Plug into an electrical outlet. NOTE: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the
outlet is uninterrupted.) Install grounding strap on metal pipes.
INSTALLATION
Place softener in desired location close to water supply inlet, after pressure tank, and near a source for waste water,
(utility sink, floor drain or sewer line). A 115/120V, 60 Hz uninterrupted outlet is required. Keep softener far enough away
from walls and other obstructions to allow enough room for servicing the unit. All sillcocks and similar fixtures that will
use untreated water must have their pipes connected to the hard water side of the softener. A bypass valve (optional
accessory) should be installed so that water will be available if it should be necessary to shut off the pressure in order to
service the softener.
The cabinet tank or mineral tank must be reasonably level and solidly in place. Prior to beginning work to the system,
make sure that water pressure is shut off at the incoming water supply and that several water spigots are open to provide
sufficient venting for drainage of that system.
Arrows are molded into the control valve to show the direction of the flow.
OPTIONAL BYPASS VALVE: The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require
hand tightening. Install with red knobs in the upward position. Press end of bypass valve with o-rings into valve. Hand
tighten nuts. Place into BYPASS OPERATION (figure 1 page 3).
Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve. DO NOT
use pipe dope or any other sealant on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals. DO NOT
use Vaseline or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.
DRAIN LINE: The 3/4” drain line elbow accommodates 5/8” poly tube or 3/4” NPT drain line connections. The nut and
poly tube insert for the 3/4” drain line elbow is designed for use with flexible poly tube only. The drain line elbow can be
rotated so the outlet can be oriented toward the nearest drain.

It is simplest to run the drain line into a sump pump pit or washing machine drain if possible. If this is not practical, a fitting with a trap
must be installed in a sewer line. Place the trap as close to the vent as possible to prevent siphoning of the trap when large amounts
of waste water go through the sewer line. DO NOT pipe the drain line solidly into the waste line, as this is prohibited by most plumbing
codes. The drain line should enter the trap from above so the water will not back up in the drain line if sewer should become plugged up
and the trap overflow. The trap should have a short pipe extending from it to prevent splashing when water runs into the trap from drain
line.

BRINE LINE CONNECTIONS: 3/8” poly tube is shipped inside of the brine tank. The poly tube insert to be used on the control valve
fitting is shipped on the brine line elbow’s locking clip. Remove the locking clip by pulling straight out. Remove the white poly tube insert
from the locking clip, and replace the locking clip on the brine line elbow of the control valve.
Press the poly tube insert into the provided 3/8” poly tube. Press the poly tube and insert into the nut until it is fully seated into the fitting. DO NOT use pipe dope or any other sealant on threads. Teflon tape is not needed on the threads. Tighten nut securely to create a
pressure tight connection. Pliers or crescent wrench may be used. The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a three piece assembly that
can come apart if removed from the elbow body. Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown to function properly. If the nut is completely removed from the body, slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve on to the tube then tighten on to the fitting.

REGENERATION INTERVAL
GRAINS OF HARDNESS TO BE REMOVED
DAILY
To choose the proper regeneration interval, first check the specification table
to determine the total grains of hardness per day to be removed. The industry
figures 50 gallons of water per person per day to be removed. An automatic
washer is figured as a person. Frequent regeneration is beneficial, particularly
when larger amounts of iron are involved.

To obtain maximum efficiency per pound of salt, the softener should be set
to regenerate at an interval that will utilize the full capacity of the mineral. If
5 parts per million or more of iron are present, it is recommended that the
softener be regenerated at least once every 4 days.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.
Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor plug from the PC
board. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board. The power source plug
connects to the four-pin jack.
The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the
display panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the drive bracket, unplug
the power and motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the top of the drive bracket while pulling outward
on the top of the PC board. The drive bracket has one plastic pin that fits into the hole in the lower edge of the PC board.
Once the PC board is tilted about 45° from the drive bracket it can be lifted off the pin. To reinstall the PC board, position
the lower edge of the PC board so that the hole in the PC board lines up with the plastic pin. Push the top of the PC board
towards the valve. Align the upper hole on the left hand side of the PC board with the pin and push in until the PC board
snaps under the middle latch, weave the power wire into the holders and reconnect the motor and power plugs.
The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is not
necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive bracket start
by removing the plug for the power source. Unweave the wire from the side holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back
plate hold the drive bracket in place. Simultaneously lift the two tabs and gently ease the top of the drive bracket toward
your body. The lower edge of the drive bracket has two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on
the drive bracket to disengage the notches.
To reassemble seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the drive back plate.
Push the top of the drive bracket towards the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be lifted slightly to let the
threaded piston rod pass through the hole in the drive bracket. Maintain a slight engaging force on the top of the drive
bracket while deflecting the bracket slightly to the left by pressing on the side of the upper right corner. This helps the drive
gears mesh with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket is properly seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive
back plate. If resistance is felt before latching, then the notches are not fully engaged, the piston rod is not in the hole, the
power wire is jammed between the drive bracket and the drive plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly.
To inspect drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. The drive gear is held in place on the drive bracket by
three clips. The largest of the three clips is always oriented to the bottom of the drive bracket. Before trying to remove
the drive gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back plate. The drive gear cover can be removed
from the drive bracket without removing the PC board. Simultaneously, push in and down on the large clip at the bottom
and the clip on the left-hand side of the drive bracket behind the PC board. Keep your other fingers behind the drive gear
cover so the drive gears do not drop on the ground.
Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the
reflective coating because dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.
The drive gear cover only fits on one way, with the large clip oriented towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of
the gear shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place.
The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To remove the
motor, disconnect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and
hold. Rotate the motor at least a ¼ turn in either direction before gently pulling on the wire connectors to remove the
motor. Pulling directly on the wire without rotating the motor may break the wires off the motor.
Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. When reinstalling the motor gently turn the motor
while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover and the small plastic plug
engages one of the slots on the motor housing. Reconnect the motor plug to the two pronged jack on the lower left-hand
side of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive gear when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate motor
before reinserting.
Replace the valve cover. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET HOUR and ▼ buttons for 5
seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and
establishes the home position for softening. Reset the time of day.
PAGE 6
DRIVE CAP ASSEMBLY, MAIN PISTON AND REGENERANT PISTON:
The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly must be removed to
access the piston(s). The drive cap assembly is threaded into the control valve body and seals the o-ring. To remove the
drive cap assembly use the optional maintenance wrench or insert a ¼” to ½” flat bladed screwdriver into one the slots
around the top 2” of the drive cap assembly so it engages the notches molded into the drive back plate around the top
2” of the piston cavity (see figure 4). The notches are visible through the holes. Lever the screwdriver so the drive cap
assembly turns counter clockwise. Once loosened unscrew the drive cap assembly by hand and pull straight out.
FIGURE 4
The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts
that should not be dissembled in the field. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the o-ring. Attached to
the drive cap assembly is the main piston and, if a regenerant is used, a regenerant piston.
The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by unsnapping it
from its latch. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove
the main piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the
number. Chemically clean in diluted sodium bisulfite or vinegar or replace the main piston.
Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not
lubricate the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston. Lubricant will adversely affect the red or clear lip seals. Reinsert
the drive cap assembly and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue
to tighten the drive cap assembly using the maintenance wrench or screwdriver as a ratchet until the black o-ring on the
spacer stack assembly is no longer visible through the drain port. Excessive force can break the notches molded into the
drive back plate. Make certain the main drive gear still turns freely. The exact position of the piston is not important as long
as the main drive gear turns freely.
Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press
and hold SET HOUR and ▼ buttons for 5 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and
plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the home position for softening. Reset the time of day.
SPACER STACK ASSEMBLY:
To access the spacer stack assembly remove the drive assembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack
assembly can be removed easily without tools by using your thumb and forefinger. Inspect the black o-rings and red or
clear lip seals for wear or damage. Replace the entire stack if necessary. The spacer stack assembly has been 100%
tested at the factory to insure proper orientation of one way seals. Do not disassemble stack.
The spacer stack assembly may be chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar) or wipe with a soft cloth.
The spacer stack assembly can be pushed into the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can
be compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (⅝” to 1⅛” in diameter) to push the center of the assembly into the control
valve body. The assembly is properly seated when at least four threads are exposed (approximately ⅝”) Do not force the
spacer stack assembly in. The control valve body bore interior can be lubricated with silicone to allow for easy insertion of
the entire stack. Do not use silicone or any other type of lubricant on the red or clear lips seals or the piston.
Reattach the drive cap assembly and piston(s) and the drive assembly.
After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET HOUR and ▼ buttons for 5 seconds or unplug power
source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the home
position for softening. Reset the time of day.
PAGE 7
INJECTOR CAP, SCREEN, INJECTOR PLUG AND INJECTOR:
Unscrew the injector cap and lift off. Loosen cap with optional maintenance wrench or pliers if necessary. A screen is
attached to the injector cap. Remove the screen and clean if fouled.
The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screwdriver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace
the entire plug. The injector consist of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or dilute sodium
bisulfite. The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the flow rates of the
water to insure that the proper concentration of the regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should
not be used to clean the injector. Scoring the injector or increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating
parameters of the injector.
Two holes are labeled DN and UP. For down flow systems, the appropriate injector is located in the “DN” hole, a plug is in
the “UP” hole. Push the plug and injector firmly in place, replace the screen and hand tighten the injector cap.
REFILL FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY OR REFILL PORT PLUG:
To clean or replace the refill flow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight up on the elbow. Replace the
elbow locking clip in the slot so that it is not misplaced. Twist to remove the white flow control retainer. The flow control
can be removed by prying upward through the side slots of the retainer with a small blade flat screwdriver.
Chemically clean the flow control or the white flow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. DO NOT use a
wire brush. If necessary, replace the flow control, o-ring on the flow control retainer, or the o-ring on the elbow.
Reseat the flow control so the rounded end is visible in the flow control. Reseat the white flow control retainer by pushing
the retainer into the elbow until the o-ring seats. Remove locking clip, push down on elbow to reseat and insert locking
clip.
DO NOT use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring on
the elbow or white retainer.
METER PLUG:
This control valve does not come equipped with a meter, instead a plug is installed. The plug should not need to be
serviced.
To remove the meter plug assembly, unscrew the meter cap on the left side of the control valve. Pliers may be used to
unscrew the nut if necessary.
With the nut removed, a slot at the top of the meter plug is visible. Twist a flat blade screwdriver in the slot between the
control valve body and the meter plug. When the meter plug is part way out it is easy to remove the meter plug from the
housing.
DO NOT use a wire brush to clean. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar.
DO NOT use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black
o-ring.
Reinsert the meter plug into the side slot. Hand tighten the nut. DO NOT use a pipe wrench to tighten nut.

The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before
working on the rotor, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow shaped handles toward the center of the
bypass valve and back to the arrow direction several times to ensure rotor is turning freely.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tighten by hand. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the
nut or cap. DO NOT use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. DO NOT place screwdriver in slots on caps and/
or tap with a hammer. To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle out as one unit. Twisting the
unit as you pull it out will help to remove it more easily. There are three o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor
stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.
When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:
1. O-rings on both rotors face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve when the handle
pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows; or
2. Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.
Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled 180° from their correct orientation. To install the
red handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body
while tightening the bypass valve caps.
After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET HOUR and ▼ buttons for 5 seconds or unplug power
source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the home
position for softening. Reset the time of day.
