PIPE, FITTINGS, OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED You must first decide how to run "in" and "out" pipes to the softener. Look at your house main water pipe at the point you will connect the softener. Is the pipe soldered copper, glued plastic, or threaded galvanized or brass? What is the pipe size? What kind of pipe and fittings is it easi[...]

BEFORE INSTALLING CHECKS & TESTS Your water supply needs to be checked for chemical analysis, water pressure and water flow rate. To accom- plish this, complete the following steps: Check Water's Chemical Analysis: Sears sells a com- plete line of water treating equipment to correct various water problems. To be sure you have the proper ty[...]

ASSEMBLE INLET OUTLET ADAPTORS, OR SINGLE BYPASS VALVE Complete the following steps to assemble the adaptors or bypass valve. 1. Close the shutoff valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank, to turn off the water. See Fig. 7. 2. Shut off the gas or electric supply to the water heater. See Fig. 7. 3. Open the highest a[...]

POSITION SOFTENER INTO PLACE Complete the following steps to position the softener. 1. Grip under the ridge on the salt tank sidewall. 2. Carefully rock back and forth into position. 3. Move the softener into position. 4. Place on a level and smooth surface. If needed, put a piece of 3/4" plywood, at least 17" x 20", under the tank. [...]

CONNECT THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE Take a length of 3/8" inside diameter drain tubing and attach one end to the drain fitting. See Fig. 16. Use a tube clamp to hold it in place. Put the other end of the tubing over a floor drain, into a laundry tub, standpipe, or other suitable drain. Check your local codes. Leave an air gap of about 1-1/2" bet[...]

LEAK TEST To check for leaks, complete the following steps: CAUTION: To avoid water or air pressure dam- age to softener inner parts, and to flush pipe chips or other residue from the water pipes, be sure to do the following steps exactly as instructed. 1. Fully open two cold, soft water faucets near the softener. 2. Look at the pictures in Fig. 18[...]

INSTALL GROUNDING CLAMP BETWEEN THE SOFTENER IN AND OUT PIPES The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance plugged into the out- let. If you installed the single bypass valve, the cold water pipe ground is b[...]

INSTALL COVERS After installing your water softener, replace the covers. Angle the covers so the main cover clips onto the back first, then bring down in front and clip on the two (2) tabs inside the rim of the salt hole and lower the salt cover closed. See Fig. 23. RESTART THE WATER HEATER Turn on the gas (or electric) supply to the water heater a[...]

Press UP to move the display ahead; press DOWN to move the time backward. If the present time is between noon and midnight, be sure PM shows. If the present ti[...]

SANITIZE THE WATER SOFTENER Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener will not infect or contaminate your water supply, or cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener. SANITIZE YOUR WATER SOFTE[...]

ADDING SALT TO THE STORAGE TANK Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and every regeneration. The water for making brine is metered intothesalt storage tank by the softener. You must keep salt in the tank, but because thewater soften- er is very efficient, it is not necessary to keep it full. Especially in humid areas, it is best to fi[...]

CHECK LIST OF STEP-BY-STEP GUIDES TO INSTALL Review the following list to ensure you have completed all the installation procedures. 1. Check the incoming water. Has incoming water been tested? 2. Remove cardboard packaging from salt tank. 3. Is the incoming water going to the valve inlet? 4. Is the bypass valve placed into the service position? 5.[...]

EXTRARECHARGE Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are: • You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before thenext timer started regeneration. • You did not refill the softener withsaltbefore it was gone. Add salt to the softener before regene[...]

4. Press SELECT again to show the following RECHARGE display. EXAMPLE: Set to 4 days maximum between regenerations. Maximum Days Between Regenerations: The face plate timer automatically controls regeneration fre- quency. This provides the greatest operating efficiency, and under most conditions this feature will be left in its default mode. Howeve[...]

RECHARGE TIME REMAINING AND VALVE POSITION INDICATORS One of the valve position indicators (Serv, Fill, Brine, Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed while the softener is recharg- ing. RECHARGE flashes in the display and, beginning with Brine, the minutes of recharge remaining before return to service appears in place of the present time. When the valve is mo[...]

SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION SERVICE When the softener is giving you soft water, it is called "Service". See Fig. 41. During service, hard water comes from the house main water pipe into the soften- er. Inside the softener resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads. As hard water passes through the bed, e[...]

SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION BRINING: During brining, the brine is moved from the salt storage area, into the resin tank. See Fig. 43. Inside the resin tank, brine cleans hardness minerals from the resin beads and they are discharged out the drain. How much brine is needed to clean the resin depends on: • The amount of water used between r[...]

FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water down through the resin tank. The fast flowpacks the resin bedand gets it ready for return to service. See Fig. 45. After fast rinse, the softener returns to service. Hard water goes intothe resin tank where the resin bed again takes out the hardness minerals. Soft water goes to the house soft[...]

SALT BRIDGE Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the salt storage tank. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) in the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed does not regenerate and you will have [...]

CLEANING NOZZLE & VENTURI KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN NOZZLE & VENTURI A clean nozzle and venturi (see Fig. 47) is a must for the softener to work right. This small unit moves brine from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during regeneration. If it becomes plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the softener will not work and you wil[...]

PROTECT THE WATER SOFTENER FROM FREEZING If the softener is installed where it could freeze (sum- mer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all water from it to stop possible freeze damage. To drain the sof- tener: 1. Close the shut-off valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank. 2. Open a faucet in the soft water p[...]

CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY If your water softener fails to work, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what is wrong yourself and you won't have to call and wait for service. If you do not find anything wrong, while making the checks, and your sof- tener still does not work, call your Sears Service Department. 1. Also read[...]
