About this Manual

This manual provides additional technical information regarding the Kinetico Premier Series softeners. This additional
technical information gives guidance for the advanced service and set-up of these products.
Series Overview
Kinetico Premier Series water softeners are the ultimate water conditioning solution. Knowing that water and electricity
don’t mix, it just makes sense (and is brilliant) that these systems operate without the use of electricity. Engineered to
tackle your tough water challenges, Premier Series water softeners work more efficiently and reliably without electrical
components or computers that need to be set, adjusted, repaired or replaced.
AccuDial
Our patent-pending AccuDial feature allows more precise calibration of the system to your home’s specific water
conditions for optimum efficiency, saving on operational costs and eliminating waste. In essence, it’s like having a water
softener that’s custom-fit for your home.
Automatic, Metered Regenerations

Designed with today’s demanding households and larger plumbing in mind, Premier Series softeners deliver generous
flow rates without forfeiting water softness. And the multiple tank system design assures you have around-the-clock soft
water, even during the regeneration (cleaning) process. One tank is always in service while the other tank is either on
standby or regenerating. Premier Series systems regenerate at any time of the day or night to ensure you will always
have a supply of soft water. Single-tank systems simply can’t offer this. So if you have a house full of guests or are
running multiple loads of laundry, you’ll never run out of soft water. And if you’re away from home, the system stays
ready without wasting water or salt.
Mach Accessories
To make your installation complete, the Premier Series has a large array of snap-in accessories. From a full flow multi-
function by-pass valve to various plumbing adapters and filter housings, Kinetico’s Mach accessories are design as the
perfect complement to the Premier product line.

Setting Your System

1) Test Your Water
The first and most important step in setting you system is to start with a proper water test. At a minimum, water should be
tested for hardness and iron. These two contaminants play a critical role in the operation of you softener. Hardness will be
measure in gpg, mg/L or degrees hardness and iron will be measured in mg/L. When measuring iron, a total iron amount is
needed, however, one should note whether the iron is in the ferrous (clear water) or ferric (precipitated) Iron in the ferrous
form will be removed by iron exchange and will need to be included with your loading calculation (added iron to your
hardness produces a compensated hardness number) to calculate your compensated hardness:
a. Hardness in gpg + (3 x Iron in mg/L) = compensated hardness in gpg
b. Hardness in mg/L + (51 x Iron in mg/L) = compensated hardness in mg/L
c. Hardness in ppm + (51 x Iron in mg/L) = compensated hardness in ppm
d. Hardness in ⁰dH + (3 x Iron in mg/L) = compensated hardness in ⁰dH
e. Hardness in ⁰fH + (5 x Iron in mg/L) = compensated hardness in ⁰fH
2) Select Your Model
Based on your hardness, the amount of water needed per day or the overall desired flow rate, select the appropriate
Premier system. Standard systems can be used for any application. High Efficiency systems should be applied when the
iron concentration is less than 1 mg/L.
S150 S250 S250 OD S350 S550 S650 S650 OD Q850 Q850 OD
Flow Rate 9 gpm 11.5 gpm 20.5 gpm 12 gpm 16 gpm 6 gpm 11 gpm 6 gpm 11 gpm
Maximum Hardness 62 gpg 88 gpg 52 gpg 156 gpg 242 gpg 52 gpg 50 gpg 46 gpg 44 gpg
Iron >1 mg/L < 1 mg/L
3) Select Your Brine Setting

Based on your chosen model and compensated hardness calculation, use the selection chart to determine your desired
brine setting. When iron is present over 1 mg/L, begin with the highest salt setting – adjusting as desired – and then use
the AccuDial chart to find the most appropriate AccuDial setting. When iron is less than 1 mg/L, begin with the lowest salt
dose. If an AccuDial setting that is an exact match for model, salt dose and compensated hardness is shown on the AccuDial
chart, the selection process is complete. If no exact match is found, move to the next highest salt setting, continuing to
increase the salt dosing until a matching setting is found. In situations where no exact match is shown, use the closest
AccuDial setting at any salt dosage where the setting is greater than the calculated compensated hardness. Refer to pages
16-17 for AccuDial chart.
4) Set AccuDial
a. Unlock AccuDial
Manually initiate a regeneration until the AccuDial is in the home
position. This is identified by the AccuDial arrow at the 6 o'clock
position on the valve.
b. Select Setting Per Chart
Determine AccuDial setting from chart: find your unit, read across to Manual Regeneration
hardness, then to top for the setting. For applications containing iron,
use the highest (certified where applicable) salt dosage.
c. Set AccuDial Home Arrow Position
Adjust AccuDial setting by pushing and rotating adjustment knob.
d. Confirm Setting
Set the arrow to the desired position. Arrow points to the center of the
box for whole settings, for 1/2 settings, arrow points to the line between
boxes.
e. Release AccuDial Adjuster Push & Twist
Release adjuster, making sure knob returns to an up position
f. Notes:
NEVER set AccuDial with the arrow aligned anywhere in the black
section of the meter disc. The softener will not meter properly. Setting 8.5
On the AccuDial chart, settings shown in columns with a black-shaded
header will yield a regeneration interval below 200 gallons and should

5) Select Your Brine Tank

Based on your selected salt dose, use either a standard brine tank, or an optional tank. The selection of your brine tank
may be depend on the space available for the installation, or the desired amount of stored salt, which will impact the
frequency of adding more salt.

6) Adjust Your Salt Dose

There are two components to setting your salt dose, the adjuster tube and the float cup. To create the proper salt dosage,
both adjuster tube and float cup need to be set. In some brining systems, no adjuster tube may be used.
a. Adjuster Tube
The Adjuster Tube is set by cutting and removing tabs on both sides of the tube.
Using a pocket-knife, cut across each tab horizontally, following the channel in
the plastic, and break off each tab individually until the proper setting is
reached. The remaining number or letter imprinted on the tab determines the
correct setting. The drawing at right shows an Adjuster Tube at setting "M".
b. Float Cup
The Float Cup is set by adjusting its height above the bottom of the Brine Valve Unset “M”
Assembly. If a standard setting is used (S1-S5), then align the top of the float cup
to the standard setting. Where a standard setting is not adequate, the actual
Float Cup height must be measured and set according to the specified height.
c. K-Spray
The Float Cup is set by adjusting its height above the bottom of the shut-off
Valve Assembly to the top of the float.

Manual Regeneration
If your salt storage tank does run out of salt, you can manually regenerate the unit after adding
salt, or you can wait for it to go through regeneration automatically.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down firmly on the softener valve screw and slowly turn
clockwise until the actuator has advanced the indicator arrow to the “Brine” position. You should
hear at least five “clicks” while turning the screw before the indicator arrow reaches the “Brine”
position. At this point you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do not hear
water running through the system, the indicator arrow has not been advanced far enough. Repeat
the procedure for manual regeneration after the water flow stops to be sure both resin tanks are
regenerated.
Note: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take several days for it to empty
and for your water to feel soft again

Detailed Operation / Function

Premier water softeners use a twin tank design to assure that treated water is always available. When one tank
regenerates, the other supplies treated water. The Mach Valve is the control valve with uses hydraulic pressure to
control all valve functions automatically.

Regeneration
Level One Operation
Inlet Level One assembly consists of three chambers: inlet, outlet and regeneration
chambers.

Hard water enters the inlet chamber and travels to the media tank where it is treated.
Treated water moves from the media tank to the outlet chamber. Contained in the
outlet chamber is a water meter turbine, which turns only when water is used. Gears
Outlet
connect the water meter turbine to the water meter disc.

Flow Nozzle
Accuracy and range of the flow meter will depend on the nozzle used with the system. Most units incorporate the half
louver nozzle. This nozzle gives a highly accurate and wide range of flow metering capability. If an alternative nozzle is
used, a different meter volume on the water meter will result. To estimate this new volume, use the Meter Ratio
Multiplier to determine new volume.

Half Louver Full Louver

Part Number 11018 11019
Minimum Flow Range 0.3 gpm 0.75 gpm
Maximum Flow Range 25.00 gpm 40.00 gpm
Meter Ratio Multiplier 1 2.22


(23)
Meter Gearing
All Premier models use the same 2-‐3-‐4-‐4 gear stack, with either a half or full-‐louver nozzle.

Regeneration Pawls
Regeneration drive pawl
It is important to realize that there are two regeneration pawls: the regeneration start
pawl and the regeneration drive pawl. The regeneration start pawl advances the control
disc enough to open the regeneration control valve. The water meter and control disc
advance together until the control disc uncovers one of the holes in the ceramic disc
located directly beneath the control disc. This hole directs pressurized water through a
chamber that opens the regeneration control valve, which starts regeneration. Once the
valve has opened, the regeneration drive pawl continues to advance the control disc
through the regeneration cycle.
Regeneration start pawl
When open, the regeneration control valve allows water to pass through a nozzle where
it is directed to the regeneration turbine in the regeneration chamber. As the
regeneration turbine spins, it drives the regeneration drive pawl, which advances the
control disc.

Jet regeneration Jet Regeneration
gearing & turbine During regeneration, water is used by the valve to control the operation sequence.
All Premier Series valves are equipped with Jet Regeneration, in which a 0.2 gpm
regeneration flow control is employed to restrict the amount of water used. In addition
to this smaller flow control, the regeneration turbine in Level 1 and the regeneration
nozzle in Level 2 are also modified to work with the lower flow rates.


(24)
Control Disc
All internal valve positions are controlled by the Control Disc. As the control disc turns, it covers and uncovers holes in
the ceramic disc (located directly below the control disc), sending and relieving pressure signals to open and close all
internal valves. The sequence of regeneration and service configuration (alternating or Overdrive) is based on the type
of control disc installed.

Actuator Indicator
A visual indicator on top of the actuator (black arrow) shows the state of the system at any time.
The control disc rotates clockwise. When the indicator arrow is at the 12 o'clock position, the
Right-‐hand Tank (Remote Tank on Standard Units, Main Tank on Upflow Units) is in service.
When it is between the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, the Right-‐hand Tank is in regeneration.
When the indicator arrow is at the 6 o'clock position, the Left-‐hand Tank is in service. When it is
between the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions, the Left-‐hand Tank is in regeneration.

AccuDial™ Use Meter
For metering water use, the fully non-‐electric Mach valve includes Kinetico’s patented AccuDial
technology. AccuDial provides linear adjustment of metered water volume across a very broad
range, allowing the installer to set the system to virtually any desired water use between
regenerations, in effect creating a customized system for each individual installation. No special
tools or disassembly of the valve are required during set-‐up, and the setting can be re-‐adjusted
at any time by following the illustrated step-‐by-‐step instructions on page XX.

Lower Valving Section

The lower valving section consists of Level Two, Level Three, Level Four and Level Five
} Level 1
assemblies.
} Levels 2 - 5
} Level 6 In the center, there is one regeneration control valve. This valve opens after four (4) teeth on
the control disc have engaged. This valve then opens and powers the regeneration cycle.
All of the other valves are pairs: one set for the Remote Tank and one set for the Main Tank.
For each media tank, there is an Inlet, Outlet, Drain and Check Stem valve. The Inlet, Outlet and
Drain valves are all servo valves controlled by the control disc. The Check Stems are simple
one-‐way valves (check valves). Together, these valves control the flow of water into and out of
each media tank during service and regeneration.

Level 6
The final level of the valve is used to direct the normal service path of the water. This can
be either downflow or upflow. Since all regenerations are countercurrent, choosing the
service direction also specifies the regeneration direction. Downflow service is used with
standard, non-‐packed tank systems. For high efficiency, packed tank systems, upflow
service is specified.
Upflow Downflow
Service Service
Media Tank
Tank sizes vary from 8” x 17” to 13” x 54”. These sizes only represent the size of the tank; they
do not include the base of the tank. The media tank conforms to NSF Standard 61 for
components, with a structural performance exceeding 250,000 life cycles when
pressurized/depressurized to 150 psi. The media tank holds the resin which is used for the
softening process.


(26)
Resin
Each softener uses strong acid, high capacity cation resin having a minimum exchange capacity of 30,000 grains removed
per cubic foot of media when regenerated with a dose of 15 lbs of salt per cubic foot of media.
Upper / Lower Distributors

The distributors prevent channeling of the flow through the resin bed, by dispersing the water through the entire radius
of the media tank. The distributor also helps maximize the efficiency of the system, by improving contact with the resin
and minimizing dead spots in the media tank. The design of the distributors also keeps the resin inside the tank, as the
slots on the distributor are sized smaller than the minimum size of the resin beads.
Riser Tube
A riser tube is used to connect the lower distributor to the control valve. A 1” pipe is used for this connection.
Brine Tank
The brine tank is used for both salt storage and brine production. For some units, the brine tank can also be a cabinet
which holds the entire softener. The brine tank is manufactured from corrosion resistant plastics, as the brine makes for
a harsh environment.
Brine Valve
A brine valve is used in each brine tank or cabinet. This stops the flow of brine to the control valve when a low level is
reached and prevents air from being drawn into the tank. When the bottom check activates, it also marks the beginning
of the slow rinse process. The brine valve has a float cup that is used as the high volume level for the brine dose setting,
as well as a safety to prevent an overflow situation. There is also an overflow elbow that must be connected to the
drain.

Troubleshooting

Ten steps to determine the problem…

1. Gather information. Ask questions, find out what is the problem. What is the customer’s complaint?
This may identify simple corrections external to the equipment.
• Has there been any recent work done by plumbers?
• Has the water been shut off for any reason?
• Have fire hydrants been flushed recently in the area?
• Have they used more water than normal recently?
• Has the brine drum recently run out of salt?
• How much salt have they been using?
2. Test the water. Raw before softener, hot water, and at brine fitting with water running to service.
• Raw water is tested for hardness and iron levels.
• Hot water is tested to see if hard water has recently been passed to
service. It is not unusual to have a slight increase of hardness from the
hot water tank, generally less than 2 grains.
• Water taken directly from the brine fitting will identify if the softener is
working correctly at this point. Once completed, advance the control disc
forward to service on the other tank and test again.
3. Observe the installation. Check status of by-‐pass valve (open/closed), brine drum (full, empty, bridged),
prefilter (plugged), correct AccuDial setting, inlet/outlet lines correct, kinks or
restrictions in drain line or drain line elevated over 8 ft or more than 15 feet
horizontally.
4. Run soft water to service. Verify metering

• Watch the meter disc is it turning.
• Watch the no back pawl as the meter disc turns clockwise does the no
back pawl drop into the next tooth.
• Measure the metering rate. Measure the rate by running water at a
controlled rate (1 gallon a minute) and time how long it takes the no back
pawl to drop into the next tooth.

5. Place unit in brine position. Verify vacuum at brine elbow, check on both sides of control disc.

• Remove the brine line from the brine elbow and verify if there is suction.
• Is the suction smooth without interruption?
• Is there any water coming from the brine elbow?

Troubleshooting
(46)
6. Remove the brine valve. Verify correct brine setting (see “Brine Settings” section of the Technical Manual)
• Is it set according to the brine installation sheet?
• Is the adjuster tube cut down to the correct tab?
• Is the float cup set at the correct measurement?
7. Look for low flow in the Leaky toilets, faucets, etc. This may allow water to pass by unmetered, causing
distribution system. hard water.
Low flow means less than 0.3 gpm in models with half louver nozzles, less
than 0.75 gpm in models with full louver nozzles. A leaky faucet or running
toilet will typically be less than these flow rates. If it is less than these flow
rates, the water will not turn the turbine, so the meter gears will not turn,
and the system may not regenerate when it should.
8. Measure water pressure. Check at brine elbow while one faucet is wide open and valve in backwash
position.

Place the valve in the brine draw position, allowing the draw port to depressurize.
Remove the brine elbow and thread on a ¼” threaded coupling with a pressure
gauge on the other end. Place the valve in the backwash position, open one
faucet, and note the pressure reading – on most systems it must be at least 15 psi
dynamic (25 psi static).
9. Measure backwash flow rate. Using a container with a known volume (1 gal bottle) check the drain flow with
the unit in backwash and a faucet running, timing how long it takes to fill the
container.
1 gallon / 15 seconds = 4 gpm
1 gallon / 30 seconds = 2 gpm
1 gallon /45 seconds = 1.3gpm
(Compare these results to specified backwash flow for models listed below)
Backwash Flow Rate Chart

Model Backwash Rate
S150 1.4 gpm (5.3 Lpm)
S250 2.0 gpm (7.6 Lpm)
S250 OD 2.0 gpm (7.6 Lpm)
S350 3.0 gpm (11.3 Lpm)
S550 5.0 gpm (18.9 Lpm)

backwash and allow it to shut
off on its own.

A slight drip to the drain is allowable, although if the drip will fill the test tube
from your hardness test kit (10 mL) in less than 45 seconds it may cause a hard
water situation.

If the water is soft, follow the trouble shooting steps for running to drain. If the
water at the drain is hard and the unit is producing soft water check the drain
valve seats in level 5 for foreign material.
