Warning

WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 1.5Bar(0.15MPa) of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively.ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are available. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is built up heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit should be installed ahead of the water softener.LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN: The softener should be located close to a drain to prevent air breaks and back flow.

BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped with one.CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 90Psi(0.6MPa), water temperature is not to exceed 104°F(40℃), and the unit can‘t be subjected to freezing conditions.INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level

and on a firm base.2. During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to room temperature before

operating.3. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size

for residential drain line should be a minimum of 1/2” (13 mm). Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm (26.5 Lpm) or length in excess of 20’ (6 m) require 3/4” (19 mm) drain line. Commercial drain lines should be the same size as the drain line flow control.

4. Refer to the dimensional drawing for cutting height of the distributor tube. If there is no dimensional drawing, cut the distributor tube flush with the top of the tank.

5. Lubricate the distributor O-ring seal and tank O-ring seal. Place the main control valve on tank. Note: Only use silicone lubricant.

6. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC). Leave at least 6” (15 cm) between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the DLFC.

7. Teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain fitting. The drain from twin tank units may be run through a common line.

8. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level.9. Place approximately 1” (25 mm) of water above the grid plate. If a grid is not utilized,

fill to the top of the air check (Figure 2) in the salt tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.

10. on units with a bypass, place in bypass 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. Once clean, close the water tap.

11. Slowly place the bypass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly open a cold-water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.

12. Plug unit into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.

Control Start-up Procedures

◆ Mechanical Softener ValveManually index the softener control into the service position and let water flow into the resin tank. When the water flow stops, open a softened water tap until all air is released from the lines, then close the tap.

1. Manually index the control to the backwash position and allow water to flow at the drain for 3 or 4 minutes.

NOTE： the various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the knob on the front of the control until the indicator shows that the softener is in the desired position.

2. Remove back cover plate.

3. Make sure that the salt dosage is set as recommended by the manufacturer. If necessary, set salt in accordance with the setting instruction sheet. Manually index the control to the brine fill position and allow the brine tank to fill to the top of the air check.

4. Manually index the control to the brine draw position and allow the control to draw water from the brine tank until it stops.

5. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole in the back of the motor to see that it is running. Set the days that regeneration is to occur by sliding tabs on skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from red pointer, extend or retract fingers to obtain the desired regeneration schedule.

6. Manually advance the control to the beginning of the brine fill position; and allow the control to return to the service position automatically.

7. Fill the brine tank with salt.

8. Replace back cover on the control

9. Make sure that any by-pass valve/line is left in the normal service position.





◆ Mechanical Softener Flow Meter ValveThe water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet and drain connections made in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and to meet applicable plumbing codes.

1. Manually index the softener control into the service position and let water flow into the resin tank. When the water flow stops, open a softened water tap until all air is released from the lines, then close the tap.

NOTE: The various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the knob on the front of the control until the indicator shows that the softener is in the desired position.

2. Set water usage program wheel using any one of the following procedures:

Typical Residential Application3. To program, just set the time, set the hardness and it automatically monitors system needs and regenerates only when necessary. To set time of day press red time set button and turn 24 hour gear until present time of day is at “time of day”. Set program wheel by lifting the “people” dial and rotating it so that the number of people in the household is aligned with the household grains per gallon water hardness. Release the dial and check for firm engagement at setting. (This method will provide reserve capacity based on 75 gallons per person.)

Optional Programming Procedures4. Calculate the gallon capacity of the system, subtract the necessary reserve requirement and set the gallons available at the small white dot on program wheel gear. Note, drawing shows 850 gallon setting. The capacity (gallons) arrow denotes remaining gallons exclusive of fixed reserve.

5. Rotate the program wheel counterclockwise until it stops at regeneration position.

6. Manually index the control to the backwash position and allow water to flow at the drainfor 3 or 4 minutes.

7. Remove back cover plate.

8. Make sure than the salt dosage is set as recommended by the manufacturer. Manually index the control to the brine fill position and allow the brine tank to fill to the top of the air check.

9. Manually index the control to the brine rinse position and allow the control to draw water from the brine tank until it stops.

10. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole in the back of the motor to see that it is running.

11. Manually advance the control to the beginning of the brine fill position and allow the control to return to the service position automatically.

12. Fill the brine tank with salt.

13. Replace back cover on the control. Be sure cable is not pinched between cover and housing.

14. Make sure that any by-pass valve/line is left in the normal service position.

BEFORE PLUGGING THE UNIT IN

1. Open a treated water tap down stream of the filter.

2. Manually index the filter to the service position and allow the mineral tank to fill by slowly opening the main water supply valve. (any by pass should be in the service position)

NOTE: The water flowing from the down stream tap will be cloudy and/or contain media fines as well as air. Allow water to run until it appears clean and free of air.

3. When a steady clean flow appears at the tap, close the tap and the main water supply valve and allow the filter media bed to settle 15 - 20minutes.

4. Manually index the filter to the backwash position.

5. To prevent a sudden surge of water and air, partially open the main water supply valve so that the flow at the drain of the filter is approximately 1 gpm. The water at the drain will again be cloudy and/or contain media fines as well as air. Allow water to run until it appears clean and free of air.

◆ Mechanical Filter ValveThe filter should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and to meet applicable plumbing codes.





6. Continue to open the water supply valve until it is completely open. Allow water to flow at the drain until all media fines are washed out of the filter.

7. Manually index the filter to the service position, and again open the down stream tap. Check to be sure that the water flows clear. If necessary allow water to flow until all media fines are gone. If the tap is equipped with an aerator check that it is not plugged with media fines and pipe scale.

8. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole on the back of the timer motor to ensure that it is running. Set the days backwashing is to occur by sliding tabs on the

skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from red pointer, extend or retract fingers to obtain the desired backwash schedule.

9. Set time of day by depressing red button and spin the 24 hr gear until the present time of day is visible above the time of day arrow.

1. Timer Features

2. Features of the SXT:• Power backup that continues to keep time and the passage of days for a minimum of 48

hours in the event of power failure. During a power outage, the control goes into a power-saving mode. It does not monitor water usage during a power failure, but it does store the volume remaining at the time of power failure.

• Settings for both valve (basic system) and control type (method used to trigger a regeneration).

• Day-of-the-Week controls.• While in service, the display alternates between time of day, volume remaining or days

to regeneration, and tank in service (twin tank systems only).• The Flow Indicator flashes when outlet flow is detected.• The Service Icon flashes if a regeneration cycle has been queued.• A Regeneration can be triggered immediately by pressing the Extra Cycle button for five

seconds.• The Parameter Display displays the current Cycle Step (BW, BF, RR, etc) during

regeneration, and the data display counts down the time remaining for that cycle step. While the valve is transferring to a new cycle step, the display will flash. The parameter display will identify the destination cycle step (BW, BF, RR, etc) and the data display will read “----”. Once the valve reaches the cycle step, the display will stop flashing and the data display will change to the time remaining. During regeneration, the user can force the control to advance to the next cycle step immediately by pressing the extra cycle button.

3. Setting the Time of Day 1) Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the programming icon replaces the

service icon and the parameter display reads TD.2) Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons.3) When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to resume normal operation.

The unit will also return to normal operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.



4. Queueing a Regeneration1) Press the Extra Cycle button. The service icon will flash to indicate that a regeneration

is queued.2) To cancel a queued regeneration, press the Extra Cycle button.Regenerating Immediately1) Press and hold the Extra Cycle button for five seconds.

5. TIMER OPERATIONMeter Immediate ControlA meter immediate control measures water usage and regenerates the system as soon as the calculated system capacity is depleted. The control calculates the system capacity by dividing the unit capacity (typically expressed in grains/unit volume) by the feedwater hardness and subtracting the reserve. Meter Immediate systems generally do not use a reserve volume. However, in twin tank systems with softwater regeneration, the reserve capacity should be set to the volume of water used during regeneration to prevent hardwater break-through. A Meter Immediate control will also start a regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time if a number of days equal to the regeneration day override pass before water usage depletes the calculated system capacity.Meter Delayed ControlA Meter Delayed Control measures water usage and regenerates the system at the programmed regeneration time after the calculated system capacity is depleted. As with Meter Immediate systems, the control calculates the system capacity by dividing the unit capacity by the feedwater hardness and subtracting the reserve. The reserve should be set to insure that the system delivers treated water between the time the system capacity is depleted and the actual regeneration time. A Meter Delayed control will also start a regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time if a number of days equal to the regeneration day override pass before water usage depletes the calculated system capacity.Time Clock Delayed ControlA Time Clock Delayed Control regenerates the system on a timed interval. The control will initiate a regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time when the number of days since the last regeneration equals the regeneration day override value.Day of the Week ControlThis control regenerates the system on a weekly schedule. The schedule is defined in Master Programming by setting each day to either “off” or “on.” The control will initiates a regeneration cycle on days that have been set to “on” at the specified regeneration time.
