EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

General Warnings And Safety Information Electrical
There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter, motor, or controller. In the event of a failure, these should be replaced.

• All electrical connections must be completed according to local codes.
• Use only the power AC adapter that is supplied. If the AC adapter is replaced use a Class II, 12 volt, 150 mA supply.
• The power outlet must be grounded and always on.
• To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its power source.
• Install an appropriate grounding strap across the inlet and outlet piping of the water system to ensure proper grounding is maintained.

Mechanical

• Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as Vaseline, oils, or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100% silicone lubricants.
• All plastic connections should be hand tightened. Plumber tape should be used on connections that do not use an
  O- ring seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches.
• All plumbing must be completed according to local codes.
• Soldering of the plumbing should be done before connecting to the valve. Excessive heat will cause interior damage to the valve.
• Observe drain line requirements.
• Do not use lead-based solder for sweat solder connections.
• The drain line must be a minimum of 1/2-inch diameter. Use 3/4-inch pipe if the pipe length is greater than 20 feet (6 m).
• Do not support the weight of the system on the control valve fittings, plumbing, or the bypass.
• It is not recommended to use sealants on the threads. Use plumber tape on all NPT threads.

General

• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• Keep the unit in the upright position. Do not turn on side, upside down, or drop. Turning the tank upside down will cause media to enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between 34°F (1°C) and 120°F (49°C).
• Operating water temperature is between 35°F (1°F) and 100°F (38°C).
• Working water pressure range is 20 to 125 psi
  (1.38 to 8.61 bar). In Canada the acceptable working water pressure range is 20 to 100 psi (1.38 to 6.89 bar).
• Use only salts designed for water softening. Acceptable salt type is sodium chloride pellet salt.
• Follow state and local codes for water testing. Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
• When filling media tank, do not open water valve completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent media from exiting the tank.
• Always make modifications to house plumbing first. Connect to valve last.
• Plastic parts and O-rings may be damaged by heat and solvents. When constructing plumbing connections allow heated parts to cool and protect parts from solvents.

System Recharge Cycles Service (Downflow):
Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the water. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.
When a recharge cycle starts, the softener goes through five cycles. During the recharge cycle the softener will allow untreated water to bypass into the building.

1. Backwash 1 (Up flow):
   The flow of water is reversed by the control valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin bed. During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain.
2. Brine Draw (Downflow):
   The brine draw cycle takes place during the slow rinse cycle. The control directs water through the brine injector and brine is drawn from the salt tank. Brine draw is completed when the air check in the salt tank closes.
   Slow Rinse (Downflow):
   The brine is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. The hardness ions are displaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The resin is recharged during the brine cycle.
3. Depressurize Cycle (Hard Water Bypass Flapper Open):
   This cycle closes the flappers for a short time to allow the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the recharge.
4. Fast Rinse 1 (Downflow):
   The control directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. Any remaining brine residual is rinsed from the resin bed.
5. Brine Refill:
   Water is directed to the salt tank at a controlled rate, to create brine for the next recharge.

Location Selection

Location of a water treatment system is important.
The following conditions are required:

• Level platform or floor.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C) and below 120°F (49°C).
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8.61 bar) and above 20 psi (1.4 bar).
• In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi (6.89 bar).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the controller.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system.
• Local drain or tub for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves.
• Must meet any local and state codes for site of installation.
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do not support weight of system on the plumbing.
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding salt to tank.

Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the system be installed indoors. When the water conditioning system must be installed outdoors, several items must be considered.

• Moisture — The valve and controller are rated for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not affect performance. The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity or water spray from below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment, upwards spray from sprinkler.
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will fade or discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the materials will not degrade to cause system failures.
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures may cause damage to the valve or controller.
  Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as well as the plumbing.
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas.

Inspection
The system is shipped with several parts unassembled. When parts are removed from the packing, they should be inspected for damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your supplier.
WARNING: When handling the media tank do not turn it upside down or drop on its side.
When the carton is first opened, the softener will be standing upright.
To assemble the system, remove the salt tank components (cover, tank and brine tube assembly) from the shipping container.

1. Remove the brine well, parts box and brine line.
2. Lift the brine tank off unit
3. Tilt the brine tank forward and slowly lift free. The media tank can now be removed.

To Assemble the Salt Tank:

1. Stand the salt tank up and in position. Level as needed. The tank has two ports that will be connected. One to a drain and one to the valve.
2. Remove the overflow fitting from the brine tube. Place the brine tube in position. Align the large hole in the brine well with the hole in the brine tank. Install the overflow fitting in this hole to secure well to tank. Lay cover aside for now.

To Assemble the Media Tank:

1. Stand the tank up and in position.
2. If the floor under the media tank is uneven, level as needed.
   WARNING: The media tank contains loose particles that will shift. If the tank is turned upside down or laid back quickly, the particles may enter the valve. If this happens, the valve may need to be disassembled and cleaned.

Grounding the Plumbing

It is important that the plumbing system be electrically grounded. When a water softener is installed a non-metallic bypass valve may interrupt the grounding. To maintain continuity, a grounding strap can be purchased at a hardware store. When it is installed the strap will connect the plumbing into the softener to the plumbing out of the softener.
If you have other water treating equipment such as; chlorinator, sediment filter, neutralizer, iron filter, or taste & odor filter they should be installed upstream of the water softener.
You may wish to consult a water professional if additional water treating equipment is to be installed.

Valve Layout

Water Line Connection

• A bypass valve system is included and will be installed on the water conditioning system. Bypass valves isolate the softener from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be used.
• Service or routine maintenance procedures may also require that the system is bypassed.
• Once you have selected your location check the direction of the water flow in the main pipe.
• Bypass can be used to plan the new plumbing assembly.
• Inspect the main water pipe. Write down the type of pipe (copper, plastic, galvanized etc.). Record the size of the pipe. Plastic style pipes usually have the size printed on the outside. Other pipes can be measured for the outside diameter and converted into the pipe size at the store. Do not use pipe that is smaller than the main water pipe.
• If the main plumbing is galvanized pipe and you are installing copper pipe, then you must use dielectric insulating connectors between the two styles of pipe.
• Place the two tanks in position. The design of the tank does not allow for bad alignment of the connections. Ask your supply store
  about flexible connections.
• Take measurements and create a drawing of your installation. Include pipe lengths and elbows that are needed. If the water flow is from right to left you will need to cross the plumbing to the softener.
• Take the drawing to your plumbing supply store. Consult with their expert for installation ideas and suggestions. Assemble the plumbing.
  WARNING: If pipes will be sweat soldered, do not connect adapters to the bypass until the pipes have cooled.

WARNING:

• The inlet water must be connected to the inlet port of the valve. When replacing existing water valves, it is possible that the inlet and outlet plumbing is installed in a reversed position.
• Be certain the inlet connection on the valve is connected to the incoming water fitting from the water supply. Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
• Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100% silicone grease products when installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone grease may cause plastic components to fail over time.

NOTE: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will help seat O-rings and prevent leaking.

Drain Line Connection

NOTE: Standard commercial practices are expressed here. Local codes may require changes to the following suggestions. Check with local authorities before installing a system.

1. The unit should be above and not more than 20 feet (6.1 m)  from the drain. Use an appropriate adapter fitting to connect 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) plastic tubing to the drain line connection of the control valve.
2. The drain line may be elevated up to 6 feet (1.8 m) providing the run does not exceed 15 feet (4.6 m) and water pressure at the softener is not less than 40 psi (2.76 bar). Elevation can increase by 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional 10 psi (.69 bar) of water pressure at the drain connector.
3. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line connection. This will provide an adequate siphon trap.
   Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used.
4. Use pliers to expand a clamp. Slide the clamp up one end of the longer length drain line tubing about 1-2 inches and release.
5. Push the tubing over the ribbed drain line fitting.
6. Expand the clamp and move it up the tube to pinch the tube to the fitting.
7. Secure the discharge end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.

NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlet shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air-gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch (22 mm) whichever is larger.
WARNING: Never insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap (Figure 6 Drain Line Connection). Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the softener.

Overflow Line Connection (Optional)

In the event of a malfunction, the salt TANK OVERFLOW will direct “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor. This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet.
To connect the overflow line, locate the tubing connector on the side of the tank .
Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher than overflow fitting.
Do not tie into drain line of control unit. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or tub.
Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions.

Salt Line Connection

The salt line from the brine tube connects to the valve. Make certain the connections are hand tightened. Be sure that the salt line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak may cause the salt line to drain out, and the softener will not draw salt from the tank. This may also introduce air into the valve causing problems with valve operation.
To install the brine line:

1. Inside the salt tank, remove the cap from the large cylinder to gain access to the connection.
2. Be sure the brass insert is in the end of the brine tubing. Insert the tubing through the opening in the tank.
3. Push the tubing into the plastic nut. Slowly unscrew the nut until the tubing moves into the connection. The tubing will hit bottom.
   NOTE: Once the tubing has been pushed into the nut it cannot be pulled out. The nut will need to be removed.
4. Hand tighten the nut until the connection is tight.
5. Slide the plastic nut onto the tubing followed by the ferrule.
6. Insert the brass fitting inside the tube. Then place the spacer in position.
7. Locate the salt line connection on the valve. Push the tubing into the opening until it stops.
8. Slide the nut forward and hand tighten.

Electrical Connection
WARNING: This valve and control are for dry location use only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for outdoor use.
The controller operates on 12-volt alternating current power supply. This requires use of the supplied AC adapter included with your system.
120 Vac Adapters:
Make sure power source matches the rating printed on the AC adapter.
NOTE: The power source should be constant. Be certain the AC adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power interruptions longer than 8 hours may cause the controller to lose the time setting. When power is restored, the time setting must then be re-entered.

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, and to meet applicable plumbing codes.
To start the system for the first time a manually cycled regeneration is used.

1. With the control plugged in, and bypass valve set to In Service, press and hold the Extra Cycle button for 5 seconds.
2. Advance the valve to backwash. Ensure the drain line flow remains steady for 10 minutes or until the water runs clear
   (see above).
3. Advance the valve to the brine / slow rinse position. Ensure the unit is drawing water from the brine tank (this step may need to be repeated).
4. Advance the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the drain line flow, and run for 5 minutes or until the water runs clear.
5. Advance the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle. Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired rate. The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
6. Replace control box cover.
7. Put salt in the brine tank.
   NOTE: Do not use rock salt.

TIMER FEATURES

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.
• 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.

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 DO.
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.

Queueing a Regeneration

1. 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 Immediately
Press and hold the Extra Cycle button for five seconds.

TIMER OPERATION

Meter Immediate Control
A 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 soft-water regeneration, the reserve capacity should be set to the volume of water used during regeneration to prevent hard water 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 Control
A 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 Control
A 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 Control
This 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.
Control Operation During Regeneration
During regeneration, the control displays a special regeneration display. In this display, the control shows the current regeneration step number the valve is advancing to, or has reached, and the time remaining in that step. The step number that displays flashes until the valve completes driving to this regeneration step position. Once all regeneration steps are complete the valve returns to service and resumes normal operation.
Pressing the Extra Cycle button during a regeneration cycle immediately advances the valve to the next cycle step position and resumes normal step timing.
Control Operation During Programming
The control only enters the Program Mode with the valve in service. While in the Program Mode, the control continues to operate normally monitoring water usage and keeping all displays up to date. Control programming is stored in memory permanently, eliminating the need for battery backup power.

Manually Initiating a Regeneration

1. When timer is in service, press the Extra Cycle button for 5 seconds on the main screen.
2. The timer advances to Regeneration Cycle Step #1 (backwash), and begins programmed time count down.
3. Press the Extra Cycle button once to advance valve to Regeneration Cycle Step #2 (brine draw & slow rinse).
4. Press the Extra Cycle button once to advance valve to Regeneration Cycle Step #3 (rapid rinse).
5. Press the Extra Cycle button once to advance valve to Regeneration Cycle Step #4 (brine refill).
6. Press the Extra Cycle button once more to advance the valve back to in service.
   NOTE: If the unit is a filter or up flow, the cycle step order may change.
   NOTE: A queued regeneration can be initiated by pressing the Extra Cycle button. To clear a queued regeneration, press the Extra Cycle button again to cancel. If regeneration occurs for any reason prior to the delayed regeneration time, the manual regeneration request shall be cleared.

Control Operation During A Power Failure
The SXT includes integral power backup. In the event of power failure, the control shifts into a power-saving mode. The control stops monitoring water usage, and the display and motor shut down, but it continues to keep track of the time and day for a minimum of 48 hours.
The system configuration settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and are stored indefinitely with or without line power. The Time of Day flashes when there has been a power failure. Press any button to stop the Time of Day from flashing.
If power fails while the unit is in regeneration, the control will save the current valve position before it shuts down. When power is restored, the control will resume the regeneration cycle from the point where power failed. If power fails during a regeneration cycle, the valve will remain in it’s current position until power is restored. The valve system should include all required safety components to prevent overflows resulting from a power failure during regeneration.
The control will not start a new regeneration cycle without line power. If the valve misses a scheduled regeneration due to a power failure, it will queue a regeneration. Once power is restored, the control will initiate a regeneration cycle the next time that the Time of Day equals the programmed regeneration time. Typically, this means that the valve will regenerate one day after it was originally scheduled. If the treated water output is important and power interruptions are expected, the system should be setup with a sufficient reserve capacity to compensate for regeneration delays.

SYSTEM DISINFECTION

Disinfection Of Water Softeners

The materials of construction of the modern water softener will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. During normal use, a softener may become fouled with organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may result in an off-taste or odor in the water.
Some softeners may need to be disinfected after installation and some softeners will require periodic disinfection during their normal life.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of softener, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice can be made among the following methods.
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
Application
These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and bentonites.
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
These solutions are available by various sellers of household bleach. If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust the dosage accordingly.

1. Dosage
   • Polystyrene resin; 1.2 fluid ounce (35.5 ml) per cubic foot.
   • Non-resinous exchangers; 0.8 fluid ounce (23.7 ml) per cubic foot.
2. Salt tank softeners
   • Backwash the softener and add the required amount of hypochlorite solution to the well of the salt tank. The salt tank should have water in it to permit the solution to be carried into the softener.
   • Proceed with the normal recharge.

Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in several forms including tablets and granules. These solid materials may be used directly without dissolving before use.

1. Dosage
   •  Two grains (approximately 0.1 ounce [3 ml]) per cubic foot.
   • Salt tank softeners
2. Backwash the softener and add the required amount of hypochlorite to the well of the salt tank. The salt tank should have water in it to permit the chlorine solution to be carried into the softener.
   • Proceed with the normal recharge.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Read the owner’s/installation manual?
• Follow all safety guidelines in the manual?
• If metal pipe was used, did you restore the electrical ground?
• Securely install both drain hoses to an approved drain?
• Perform a leak test?
• Move the bypass valve to service?
• Sanitize the softener?
• Add salt pellets to the salt storage tank?
• Program the control correctly to meet your needs?
• Start a recharge?

CARE AND USE OF YOUR BRINE TANK

Each time the softener recharges, salty water (brine) is needed to recondition the media in the water tank. The brine is pulled from the salt tank at a controlled amount. If the salt tank does not contain enough salt, the brine is weak, the media will not fully recondition and untreated water will pass through.
You must keep salt in the tank.
The salt tank operates best when the salt level is below half-full.
If the tank is filled more than that the salt pellets may “bridge”.
The salt pellets wedge against each other and do not fall into the water at the bottom. Bridging will eventually provide no salt to make brine. The softener will recharge but not recondition the media. A salt bridge can be broken up using a broom handle or similar rod. Carefully pound it into the salt and the pellets will collapse. After loosening the salt pellets wait 2 hours and start a regeneration. A second recharge may be needed to fully recondition the media.
You should only use sodium chloride pellet salt for water softeners. Other types of salt (rock or snow melting) will contain dirt and chemicals that will affect your water softener.
Keep the brine tank covered.
Empty and clean the tank every three years.
