Installation
Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug
Control valves that are setup for backwash only come equipped with a refill port plug. The refill port plug has no regenerant line
connection.
Control valves that use a regenerant come equipped with a 3/8” refill flow control assembly. To switch to the ½” refill flow control
assembly, remove the refill flow control and retainer (from the 3/8” refill elbow) by twisting and pulling out. Insert the refill flow
control and retainer into the ½” refill elbow.
To complete the regenerant line connection, orientate the outlet in the desired direction and push the plastic insert into the polytube.
Push the polytube into the nut. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. The threads for the compression nut do not need
Teflon tape. Tighten the nut securely to create a pressure tight connection. A pliers or crescent wrench may be used to tighten or
unscrew the nut. The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a 3 piece assembly that can come apart if removed from the elbow body.
Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown in refill flow control assembly drawing to function properly. If the nut is completely
removed from the body, slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve on to the tube then tighten on to the fitting.
Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly
To determine which drain line flow control to use, obtain media bed expansion tables from the media manufacturer, choose a water
temperature and look up the desired backwash rate per square foot of bed area. Then calculate the backwash rate using the desired
tank diameter. Using Table 5, choose the drain line flow control that has the backwash flow rate closest to the calculated backwash
rate. If a manufacturer chooses to use an external drain line flow control, use a drain elbow fitting that does not contain a hole.
If the drain line is a 5/8” flexible polytube, slide the nut onto the polytube, then place the polytube insert into the end of the polytube
Set Time of Day
STEP 1U – Press SET HOUR
STEP 2U – Current time: Set the clock to the closest hour by using the UP and DOWN button. An
arrow points to PM after 12. After a power outage, the time of day will need to be reset. Press SET
HOUR to exit.

Power Loss
If the power goes out current time of day will need to be reset. If the power goes out while the system is regenerating, the cycle
picks up where it was interrupted when the power returns.
Error Message
If “E1,” “E2” or “E3” appears on the display contact the OEM for help. This indicates that the
valve did not function properly.

Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as
a manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, simultaneously press UP
+ DOWN buttons together and release. The arrow will point to the word Regen if a regeneration is
expected “tonight.” To cancel the regeneration simultaneously press UP + DOWN buttons and release.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, simultaneously press UP + DOWN buttons together for
three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.
Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.
