Programming

General Information

The H125 control valve is the “brain” of your water softener. It consists of the valve body and powerhead with solid state microprocessor.

The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LCD display and five push buttons which are used in displaying and program- ming the water softener settings.

Initial Start Up

The initial start up will probably be done by the technician install- ing the softener system. If not, the following instructions will step you through the process.

1.Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain line and brine line. Do not add salt at this time.

2.Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See figure 3 page 5) Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water faucet to flush the piping of any air and/or foreign material. Run until the water is clear.

3.Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank.

4.Now plug the transformer into a 110-volt receptacle. (Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.) Within 5 seconds the control will automatically align itself into the softening mode and display will automatically alternate between time of day, gal/min and gallons remaining. (Figure 8, page 7).

5.Set the time of day by pushing clock button (figure 9, page 8) and using  and  buttons.

6.Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds. The system will advance to the “First” position. (Note: Depending on how the system is programmed it could read backwash, rinse, brine or fill). Keep pushing REGEN button until “Rinse” shows in the lower right hand corner of display. Slowly place the by-pass into the “diagnostic mode” (see fig 4, page 5). Run water to the drain until it runs clear. Return the by-pass valve to the by-pass position (fig 3, page 5). Push REGEN button until “unit is back to softening mode.

7.Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for 3 seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back-

wash” appears. Slowly place the by-pass valve into the “Diagnostic Mode” 1/2 way. Allow water to slowly fill the mineral tank. When a solid stream of water starts coming out of the drain line, open the by-pass inlet valve all the way and allow to run out the drain until water clears. Then slowly place the by-pass into the “normal operation” mode by opening the outlet side of by-pass valve, figure 2, page 5.

8.Press the REGEN button until LED display says “RE- GENERANT DRAW-DN”. Loosen the brine line from the control valve. Place finger over the end of brine connection on valve to check for suction. If no suc- tion, see trouble-shooting guide. (See #11, Page 20) If proper suction, attach brine tube to control valve, and allow it to draw water down to the bottom of the air check, (figure 6b, page 6).

9.Press REGEN button again until LED once again dis- plays “BACKWASH”. Keep in backwash until water once again runs clear at the drain.

10.Press REGEN button again until “RINSE” is displayed. Allow rinse cycle to run its full course. While the rinse cycle is finishing, this would be a good time to load your brine tank with salt. If utilizing brine recovery, add full volume of water to brine tank for the 1st

REGENERATION.

11.Once the rinse cycle has finished, the softener control will return to the softening cycle. The LED screen will scroll between “TIME/GPM/Gallons Remaining”.

12.Next set your softeners water hardness, days override and regeneration time settings (see figure 10a, page 8).

Your programming is now complete.
