1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit, making sure the tanks are level and on a rm base. 2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be minimum 1/2. Overhead drains exceeding 4 above unit require 3/4 drain line. 3. Both tanks must be the same height and diameter and lled with equal amounts of media. The 1 distributor tube (1.050 O.D.) should be cut ush with top of each tank. 4. Lubricate the distributor O-Ring seal and tank O-Ring seal with silicone lubricant. Place the main control valve on one tank and the tank adapter on the second tank. 5. NOTE: The 1 copper tubing to interconnect the tanks must be soldered prior to assembly on the main control valve and tank adapter. There should be a minimum of 1 distance between tanks on nal assembly. 6. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control tting. Leave at least 6 between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering. Failure to do this could cause damage to the drain module. 7. Teon tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain tting. 8. Make sure that the oor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level. 9. Place approximately 1 of water above the grid plate (if used) in your salt tank. Salt may be placed in the unit at this time. 10. On units with a by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. 11. Place the by-pass in service position and let water ow into the mineral tanks. When water ow stops, open a cold water tap nearby and let run until air pressure is relieved. 12. Electrical: All electrical connections must be connected according to codes. Plug unit into electrical outlet. Do not insert meter cable into the meter yet.

NOTE: Make sure the meter cable is not inserted in the meter dome. Swing the timer out to expose the program wheel Figure 2 (to swing timer out) grab onto the lower right corner of timer face Figure 1 and pull outward.
NOTE: 2 motors are available, 1/15 RPM will have a 82 min. reg. time available.

3. Stting the gallon wheel Knowing the amount of resin you have in each tank and your salt setting per regeneration, calculate the gallons available, using the following capacities as a guide: One Cubic Foot of Resin Salt Setting at 15 lb 10 lb 8 lb 6 lb Gallons available = Capacity per Regeneration. Compensated Hardness of H2O Capacity per Regeneration 30,000 grains 27,000 grains 24,000 grains 20,000 grains
ie: 24 grain water; each tank having 1 cubic foot of resin and salted at 8 lb. of salt, yielding a usable 24,000 grain capacity: 1,000 gallons available = 24,000 gr. capacity 24 gr. water DO NOT SET THIS FIGURE - GO TO STEP 4 3. Since the 9000 Valve regenerates with soft water from the other tank, you must subtract the water used for regeneration. Take each of your regeneration cycles and calculate the water used. (Use the injector Slow Rinse rate chart supplied, see pg. 24.) ie: Unit is set up for a 10 tank having 2.4 gpm backwash, #1 injector, .5 gpm rell, timer set up for 8 min. backwash, 54 min. brine and rinse, 6 min. rapid rinse, 6 min. brine tank ll. A. Backwash - 8 mins. x 2.4 gpm = B. Brine and Rinse - 54 mins. x .33 gpm = (See injector chart slow rinse ow, pg. 23) C. Rapid Rinse - 6 mins. x 2.4 gpm = D. Brine Tank Fill - 6 mins. x .5 gpm = 19.2 gallons 17.8 gallons 14.4 gallons 3.0 gallons

1 - SERVICE POSITION Hard water enters the unit at the valve inlet, ows around the lower piston, and down through the mineral in the rst tank. Conditioned water enters the center tube through the bottom distributor, ows up through the center tube, around the lower piston, through the meter, and out the valve outlet. The second mineral tank is regenerated and on standby.

2 - TANKS SWITCHING (the meter has initiated a regeneration) Hard water enters the unit at the valve inlet, ows around the lower piston, through the pipe leading to the second mineral tank, and down through the mineral in the second tank. Conditioned water enters the center tube of the second tank through the bottom distributor, ows up through the center tube, through the pipe leading back to the main valve, around the lower piston, through the meter, and out the valve outlet. The depleted rst mineral tank is out of the ow path, and ready for regeneration.

General Service Hints Problem: Softener Delivers Hard Water. Cause could be that . . . Reserve Capacity Has Been Exceeded. Correction: Check salt dosage requirements and reset program wheel to provide additional reserve. Cause could be that . . . Program Wheel Is Not Rotating With Meter Output. Correction: Pull cable out of meter cover and rotate manually. Program wheel must move without binding and cycle actuator must start the cycle before the clutch releases. Cause could be that . . . Meter Is Not Measuring Flow. Correction: Check output by observing rotation of small gear on front of timer (Note program wheel must not be against regeneration stop for this check). Each tooth is approximately 75 gallons on 1 installations. If not performing properly, replace meter. Cause could be that . . . Trip Dog On Program Wheel Is Beyond Cycle Actuator Arm. Correction:1. If power failed during regeneration; reset program wheel and cycle manually. 2. If exceeding system capacity before regeneration was completed; either a) increase system capacity, b) restrict ow rates, or c) change timer from 164 min./cycle to 82 min./cycle. 3. If defective timer; replace timer.
