Replace Time Brine Valve, Injectors and Screen

1.Unplug electrical cord from outlet.

2.Turn off water supply to conditioner:

—If the conditioner installation has a “three valve” bypass system, first open the valve in the bypass line, then close the valves at the conditioner inlet and outlet.

—If the conditioner has an integral bypass valve, put it in the Bypass position.

—If there is only a shut-off valve near the conditioner inlet, close it.

3.Relieve water pressure in the conditioner by putting the control in the Backwash position momentarily. Return the control to the In Service position.

4.Disconnect brine tube and drain line connections at the injector body.

5.Remove the two injector body mounting screws. The injector and brine module can now be removed from the control valve. Remove and discard valve body o-rings.

6.Replace brine valve.

—Pull brine valve from injector body, also remove and discard o-ring at bottom of brine valve hole.

—Apply silicone lubricant to new o-ring and reinstall at bottom of brine valve hole.

—Apply silicone lubricant to o-ring on new valve assembly and press into brine valve hole, shoulder on bushing should be flush with injector body.

7.Replace injectors and screen.

—Remove injector cap and screen, discard o-ring. Unscrew injector nozzle and throat from injector body.

—Screw in new injector throat and nozzle, be sure they are seated tightly. Install a new screen.

—Apply silicone lubricant to new o-ring and install around oval extension on injector cap.
