3 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the softener pressure vessels in a chosen place on a flat firm surface.
3.1
During cold weather, it is recommended to bring the valve back to room temperature before
3.2
operating.
All plumbing for water inlet, distribution and drain lines should be done correctly in accordance
3.3
with legislation in force at the time of installation. The pipe size for the drain line should be a
minimum of 13 mm (1/2'') and of 19 mm (3/4'') minimum, for length exceeding 6 m and backwash
flow above 7 gpm.
For the 9500 the pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 19 mm.
The distribution tube should be cut flush with the top of the tank. Slightly bevel the ridge in order
3.4
to avoid deterioration of the seal whilst fitting the valve. The tube for 9000/9100 is Ø27 mm (1")
and DN40 for the 9500 valve.
Lubricate the distribution tube joint and the joint with a 100% Silicon lubricant. Never use other
3.5
types of greases that may damage the valve.
All soldering on main plumbing and to the drain line should be done before fitting the valve.
3.6
Failing to do so can generate irreversible damages.
Use Teflon® tape if necessary in order to seal between the drain fitting and the outlet flow
3.7
control.
Ensure that the floor under the brine tank is clean and flat.
3.8
On units with by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft
3.9
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.
Place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow
3.10
stops, slowly open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.
Plug the valve to a power source. Once plugged the valve may do a cycle on its own in order to
3.11
go to service position.
The valve has an indicator informing the installer of its position: on the side of the motor that
3.12
pilots the pistons, there is a sticker with images (see chap 2.6).
Start a regeneration by turning the wheel on the timer (see p.6) to bring the valve in service on
3.13
the 2 vessel and execute each cycle of the regeneration (see p.7) in order to empty residual air
nd
in the first vessel that has just filled up. Do the same action for the second vessel.
Fill approximately 25mm of water above the grid plate, (if used). Otherwise, fill to the top of the
3.14
air check in the brine tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
Initiate a manual regeneration, bring the valve into "brine draw and slow rinse" position in order
3.15
to draw water from the brine tank until the blockage of the air-check valve; the water level will
be approximately in the middle of the air check. Open the cold water tap and let water flow in
order to drain the air out of the circuit.
Put the valve in brine refill position and let it get back to service position automatically.
3.16
Now you can add salt to the brine tank, the valve will operate automatically.
