We recommend your water softener is professionally installed. Your installation must conform to water and electrical regulations and local plumbing codes. SPECIFICATION • Maximum water temperature 49°C • Maximum daytime working pressure 5 Bar • Minimum working pressure 1.3 Bar • Minimum system flow 0.06m³/hr • Maximum system flow 3.18m³/hr PRESSURE Night time pressure will be much higher than day time pressure. If day time pressure exceeds 5 bar, a pressure reducing valve should be fitted. The water softener is tested to a maximum day time static pressure of 8.5 bar, therefore the pressure reducing valve can be adjusted to a maximum of 6 bar static pressure. GRAVITY FED PLUMBING SYSTEMS If the water flow is less than 1 litre per minute, for the water softener to operate as originally designed we recommend a delayed action ball valve is fitted within your storage tank. HARD WATER TAP Fitting a separate hard water drinking water tap is currently recommended by the UK Dept of Health and the UKWTA. Fitment of a separate hard water drinking tap is only required in exceptionally hard water areas (above 400 mg/l) where sodium content of the treated water (increased due to the softening process) exceeds the level laid down in the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000. Drinking softened water is not recommended for people on a low sodium diet or babies on formula feed. CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS DRAIN HOSE INLET/OUTLET HOSES • With pressure of 3 bar, the maximum drain run is 3m with a constant fall before entering an air gap Refer to the Water Softener Kit Installation Guide (single sheet) included with the installation kit. • The maximum height above the softener should be not more than 2m The hoses are 500mm length with 22mm push-fit connections. • The drain hose must enter the regulation air gap to prevent back fill • It is not recommended to discharge the waste into a pumped drain OVERFLOW The overflow needs to pass through an outside wall so that it can be seen. In accommodation without a suitable outside wall it may be appropriate to use a suitable tundish with the existing overflow provision. Central heating systems should always be treated with a suitable corrosion inhibitor regardless of being filled with softened or hard water. You may need reducers or spiggot elbows to fix to your existing plumbing. FITTING THE SOFTENER The following instructions are recommendations. You may need to adapt the order for particular siting and plumbing systems. DO NOT INVERT THE INTEGRATED BYPASS TRANSFORMER PLUG TO THE WATER SYSTEM RECOMMENDATION FOR SITING THE WATER SOFTENER DRAIN HOSE • Install close to the rising main IN • Keep drain point as short as possible • Keep overflow to outside wall as short as possible with a constant fall AIR GAP • Allow for any required hard water draw off points OUT INTEGRATED BYPASS WITH CHECK VALVE IN OUT • Place on a sound base UNVENTED OR COMBINATION BOILERS • Allow space above the valve cover lid for servicing (recommended 75mm) The water softener and 22mm installation kit is compatible with unvented or combination systems. • Protect the softener and all associated pipework against freezing, as this could cause flooding STANDARD PLUMBING CONNECTION TO DRAIN STANDARD PLUMBING CONNECTION • Protect against condensation in enclosed areas PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (IF REQUIRED) LEAD PIPEWORK MAINS WATER FOR DRINKING AND GARDEN USE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The water softener requires a 240 volt 50 Hz electrical supply taken off a power supply, not a lighting circuit. Power is supplied via a 24 volt 50 Hz transformer. You must use the transformer supplied with the softener. Where lead pipework exists downstream of the proposed location of the water softener, we advise you to ask the local water authority for advice on the replacement of lead pipework. Water softeners should not be used with lead pipework. WATER SOFTENER MAINS WATER STOP VALVE OVERFLOW TO OUTSIDE Please Remember – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener! 4 5 Water softener plumbing connections Connecting the water softener to the home’s plumbing MAKE SURE THE INLET AND OUTLET HOSES ARE CONNECTED CORRECTLY TO THE PLUMBING AND TO THE INLET OUTLET POINTS OF THE BYPASS. FAILURE TO FIT THE HOSES CORRECTLY CAN DAMAGE THE WATER SOFTENER. DRAIN INLET OUTLET Note: If you need to remove the valve cover for ease of installation, remove the salt lid, then simply release the two catches behind the valve cover and tilt top end towards you slowly, taking care not to pull off the wire connections. FITTING THE BYPASS TO THE WATER SOFTENER Please note that the valve cover is connected to the valve motor, so cannot be removed fully. Secure the bypass with the two large adaptor clips, from the top down. Be sure they snap firmly into place so that the bypass will not pull out. Pull on the bypass to ensure a tight fit has been achieved. PLUMBING Fit the bypass into the water softener’s inlet and outlet points. ONLY FIT WITH HOSE INLET/ OUTLET FACING DOWN. Turn off the water supply at the incoming mains. Note: The non-return-valve is already fitted in the integrated bypass. It is important to fit correctly otherwise the water softener can be damaged. FITTING THE HOSES TO THE BYPASS AND PLUMBING OVERFLOW The hoses come with a standard push-fit. Unlock the screws on bypass and fully push the hoses into the inlet and outlet points of the bypass. To secure, twist the nut until the gap is closed to secure the hose in position. CONNECT HOSES TO THE PLUMBING Connect hoses to the plumbing using standard plumbing connections. On the bypass, if not already done, secure hoses by twisting the nut until the gap has closed. You may want to connect hoses to the plumbing first before securing hoses in position. Make sure the bypass is open to allow water into the house while finishing installation. (‘Hard’ is the top position on the bypass – see page 8) Turn on mains water. Please Remember – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener! 6 7 All-in-one bypass Fitting drain and overflow hoses TURN THE HANDLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE BYPASS. THE HANDLE TURNS 180° DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION See page 5 on drain and overflow before fitting. FOR SOFT WATER (IN SERVICE) Cut tubing for drain and overflow to the required lengths. The water will pass through the water softener when SOFT is at the top. The upper surface of the handle will feel smooth. Fitting the overflow hose Fitting the drain hose Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow socket situated two thirds of the way up the rear of the water softener cabinet, using the silicone grease provided. Insert the overflow elbow. Fit hose onto the overflow elbow and secure with the supplied metal clamp. Pass the overflow through an outside wall so that the end can be seen. Turn the drain line adaptor so that a straight connection can be made. Secure with the supplied metal clamp. The drain hose may be connected directly into an open drain or via the waste outlet similar to a washing machine. When connecting to a drain the regulation air gap is required to prevent backflow. Make sure the hose is not kinked as this will stop the operation of the softener. FOR HARD WATER (IN BYPASS) The water will bypass the water softener when HARD is at the top. The upper surface of the handle will feel rough. Please Remember – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener! 8 9 Connecting to electrics Programming the water softener ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The water softener works on a 24 volt, 50 Hz electric power supply. You must use the transformer supplied into a 240 volt outlet only. Be sure that the electrical outlet you plug the transformer into is inside, as the transformer is not designed for outdoor use. To connect the transformer to the controller board, push the female end plugs on to the male connectors as indicated below. Should the faceplate fail to display or indicate an error code, please check that the connections are as per the diagram below. You will need to remove the valve cover to do this. SET SALT LEVEL button UP button TANK LIGHT button OK button RECHARGE button DOWN button LOW SALT indicator Transformer 240V Power Source Connect here to direct to the faceplate, either way round BACK OF FACEPLATE Display PROGRAM THE SOFTENER SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER When the power supply is plugged into the electrical outlet, the model code and a software version number (example: J3.9) are briefly shown in the display. Then the words “PRESENT TIME” appear and 12:00 begins to flash. If you completed the previous step, the word “HARDNESS” should show in the display. Otherwise, press the OK button several times until it does. SET PRESENT TIME OF DAY Motor 1 Press the ▲ UP or ▼ DOWN buttons to set the hardness of your water supply, in grains per gallon. The default is 25. If the words “PRESENT TIME” do not show in the display, press the OK button a few times until they do. Sensor NO NC 1 Press the ▲ UP or ▼ DOWN buttons to set the present time. Up moves the display ahead; down sets the time back. NOTE: Press buttons and quickly release to slowly advance the display. Hold the buttons down for fast advance. 2 When the correct time is displayed, press the OK button, and the display will change to show the “Hardness” screen.

You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can set the controller to regenerate at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM or as set). SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) START TIME RECHARGE NOW If you completed the previous step the words “RECHARGE TIME” should show in the display. Otherwise, press the OK button several times until they do. 1 The softener’s default recharge start time is 2:00 AM. This is normally a time of day when water is not being used in the household. Hard water bypasses the softener if the household draws water during the recharge cycle. If a different recharge start time is desired, press the ▲ UP or ▼ DOWN buttons to change the time, in 1-hour increments. Be sure AM or PM is correct. 2 When the desired recharge start time is displayed, press the OK button and the display will return to the normal run (time of day) screen. EXTRA RECHARGE Sometimes a manually initiated recharge (regeneration) may be desired or needed. Two examples are: Press the RECHARGE button and hold for 3 seconds until the words “RECHARGE”, “Serv” and “Fill” begin to flash in the display. The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration immediately. This regeneration will take about 2 hours to complete. Then you will have soft water again. NOTE: If the “Clean Feature” is set ON, the normal regeneration cycle is preceded by a cleaning backwash and rinse. The words “CLEAN” and “Bkwsh” or “Rinse” flash in the display, along with the minutes of the clean cycle remaining. RECHARGE TONIGHT Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE button. “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will begin flashing in the display and the softener will begin regeneration at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM or as set). If you decide to cancel the regeneration before it starts, press and release the RECHARGE button once more. “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will stop flashing in the display. Finishing installation Your unit should now be fully plumbed and ready to use. Having programmed your unit you will wish to ensure that the unit is functioning properly before you leave the site. NOTES TO THE INSTALLER – BEFORE YOU LEAVE 6 The complete recharge process will take about 1 hour. As the recharge finishes water will run to drain. Check your drain connections. 7 Softened water will gradually replace the hard water in the storage tank over a period of normally 7 days. However, this can take longer in larger houses. • Please leave this handbook for the water softener owner 1 Close the all-in-one bypass so that SOFT is at the top. • Please complete the enclosed Guarantee Registration Card 2 Check that all the plumbing connections are secure and that there are no leaks. • Remember reward points are available to plumbers who are members of the Team Tapworks Rewards Scheme. 3 Check that the time of day is correct. 4 Fill with salt – you will require a 25kg bag of tablet or pellet salt. DO NOT USE GRANULAR SALT. Make sure that the brinewell cover is in place and secure as salt must not be allowed to enter the brinewell. Do not fill salt above the brinewell cover (see diagram on page 3). 5 Initiate a recharge by holding down the TOUCH/HOLD button for about 3 seconds until RECHARGE flashes in the display. After a few minutes a small amount of water will enter the salt cabinet. This part of the recharge will take approximately 4-8 minutes. COMMON INSTALLATION FAULTS • Crossed inlet-outlet hoses • Kinked drain hose • Bypass left in HARD position • Failure to secure all-in-one bypass with adaptor clips IMPORTANT – TAPWORKS WATER SOFTENERS HAVE 12 MONTHS PARTS AND LABOUR WARRANTY. YOU CAN EXTEND THIS TO 2 YEARS BY RETURNING THE GUARANTEE REGISTRATION CARD. (Terms and conditions apply) Thank you for choosing Tapworks. • You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next automatic regeneration. • You did not add salt to the softener before it ran out. Add salt to the softener before regenerating. Please Remember – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener! 12 13 Controller features User information SALT MONITOR SYSTEM AFTER INSTALLATION THE USE OF SOFTENED WATER The water softener has a salt monitor indicator light to remind you to add salt to the storage tank. Now your Tapworks water softener is installed you can start to enjoy the benefits of soft water. Your Tapworks water softener is automatic, there is nothing you need to do but keep it topped up with tablet/pellet salt. DO NOT USE GRANULAR OR BLOCK SALT. Washing machines – you will need much less soap powder. In most washes one tablespoon will be sufficient. Too much lather and clothes will not rinse properly. NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added to the water softener. NOTE: The salt monitor system estimates salt levels, and accuracy will vary with different salts. To set this monitor system: 1 Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank. 2 The salt level scale, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 4, 5 or 8, depending on the model (see diagram below). Observe the highest number the levelled salt is at or closest to. 3 Press the SET SALT LEVEL button as many times as necessary to make the salt level bars in the display (see diagram below) match the number on the brinewell. At level 2 or below, the “Low Salt” indicator will flash. SALT LEVEL Salt level bars 4 If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the SET SALT LEVEL button past the highest number (4, 5 or 8, depending on the model) until “OFF” shows in the display next to the number 8. Softened water will gradually replace the hard water in the storage tank over a period of normally 7 days. However, this can take longer in larger houses. TESTING YOUR WATER You can test the water hardness from the softened supply using the test kit supplied. If within one or two drops the sample remains a blue colour this indicates soft water. Dishwashers – you will no longer need to fill your unit with salt, as this was used to soften the water in the dishwasher. Cleaning sinks, baths and basins – you will find that your cleaning chores are reduced and you will use less cleaning product, as cleaning becomes a quick wipe around. Occasionally ‘spotting’ may result but this is easily rinsed off and nothing to worry about. Please register your warranty online at www.tapworks.co.uk Hard water – one household tap and any garden taps should be left on a hard water supply. Softened water contains a small amount of sodium. In four pints of softened water the sodium content is about the same as in ¼ pint of milk. Drinking softened water is not recommended for people on low sodium diets or babies on formula feed. HELP LINE Steam irons/car batteries – only use distilled or deionised water, not softened water. WARRANTY CERTIFICATE Call 01494 480 621 during normal working hours if you have any queries about your water softener. Copper staining – this can be caused by new pipework and should disappear after a short time, simply wipe away any deposit. If this persists, poor earthing may be allowing electrolytic corrosion – contact an electrical engineer. Brinewell Salt level Numbers Please Remember – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener! 14 15 User information User information HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS SALT USAGE POWER CUTS SHOULD AN ERROR CODE APPEAR When you use water it passes through a vessel of resin beads inside your water softener. The resin beads extract the hard minerals making your water soft. This process is not visible and happens within the softener. The salt cabinet (see page 3) is where you load the softener with tablet salt. You may see 1 or 2 inches of water at the bottom of the salt cabinet; this is normal, otherwise when the cabinet is full of tablet salt it will appear dry. Because your automatic demand water softener uses proportional brining, more frequent recharges are not at the expense of high salt usage. If you are a household with low water usage you will find after a few months that your water softener will become increasingly efficient as it adapts to suit your water usage. If the electrical power to the water softener is interrupted, the time display will be blank but the ‘memory’ built into the electronics will keep the correct time for up to 48 hours. Check electrical connections are as per the configuration on page 10. The water softener uses tablet salt for its cleaning process. The cleaning process flushes to drain the hard minerals that have collected inside the resin vessel and refreshes the resin beads so they are ready to make more soft water. This is automatic; all you need to do is keep the softener topped up with tablet salt. We recommend that you bypass your water softener if you are away from your home for long periods of time. See page 8 on how to bypass your water softener. TOPPING UP WITH TABLET SALT Tablet salt is used as the cleansing agent for your water softener’s resin bed. The salt cabinet will need to be refilled. Do not fill the salt above the brinewell cover (see page 14). IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT APPROXIMATELY 12CM OF SALT IS MAINTAINED AS A MINIMUM TO ENSURE OPERATING EFFICIENCY. Failure to replenish salt will prevent the unit from cleansing itself on its recharge cycle and consequently it will be unable to soften water. Pour the salt slowly into the cabinet. Ensure that the brinewell cap is secure, as no salt should be allowed to enter here. DO NOT use granular salt. ONLY USE TABLET OR PELLET SALT. HOLIDAYS CLEANING Your unit may be cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use bleaches, solvents or spirits as this may cause damage. BUILDING A HISTORY Because it has no historical data to base its logic on, your water softener will recharge quite frequently when first used to ensure continuous softened water. Within a few months it will settle into a more regular pattern. The water softener will not recharge but will pass softened water. In the case of a power cut your demand for water will be less as most appliances will not work, so a recharge should not be necessary. When electrical power is returned, one of two things will happen: • Unplug transformer • Check direct connections • Replug transformer 1 Power off up to 48 hours The display returns and is steady, no operation is necessary. • Wait for 6 minutes, if the error is rectified the error code will not appear 2 Power off over 48 hours The display returns and flashes, only the time requires re-setting. The hardness and recharge time will not have been lost as they are stored. Even if the time is incorrect the water softener will continue to work but will recharge at what it believes the time to be. The softener may recharge immediately following a cleared error code. RE-SETTING THE TIME Re-set the time as described in the programming section (see page 11). LARGE INFLUXES OF GUESTS If you have people to stay and use more water than normal you will find that your automatic demand water softener recharges more frequently. As your household water usage returns to normal so too will the recharge frequency. Your local water softener stockist will stock salt. Please Remember – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener! 16 17 Warranty terms and conditions general information Problem solving CHECKLIST SOLUTION PAGE NO. PROBLEM: Excessive salt usage 1.

Frequently Answers and Questions
How do I set the water hardness?
Use the UP and DOWN buttons on the control panel to adjust the hardness setting based on your water supply's grains per gallon (gpg).
What type of salt should I use?
Only use tablet or pellet salt. Do not use granular salt, as it can damage the softener.
How often does the softener regenerate?
The softener regenerates automatically based on your water usage. It will recharge more frequently when there is higher water demand and less frequently when water use is lower.
What should I do if an error code appears on the display?
Check the electrical connections and ensure the transformer is plugged into a 240 volt outlet. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section in the manual.
How long does it take for the softener to regenerate?
The regeneration process typically takes about 1 hour.
What happens if there is a power outage?
The time display will be blank, but the softener will retain the correct time for up to 48 hours. It will continue to operate normally when power is restored, but you may need to reset the time.
