Installation Guide & Start-up Procedure
1.Place the 60 Series in the desired location. Turn off the electricity and/or water supply to the water heater. Make sure the inlet, outlet and drain connec- tions meet the applicable local codes. Check the
arrows on the bypass valve to be sure the water flows in the proper direction. CAUTION: Do not plumb the appliance in backwards.
2.The drain hose must be a minimum of 1/2" I.D. tubing and should make the shortest run to a suitable drain.
3.Connect the salt tank to the valve head with the flexible 3/8" plastic tube included with the system. Be sure to insert the plastic insert in the end of the brine tube. (See figure 13, page 34.) Thread the Overflow fitting into the outside of the cabinets and tighten until snug. Connect the Overflow Line to the brine tank. If the brine tank is filled with too much water, or if there is a malfunction, an overflow line will direct excess water to the drain.
Connect 1/2" I.D. tubing (not supplied) between the overflow fitting and a suitable waste receptor. Maintain a minimum of 2" (50mm) air gap between the drain line and the flood level rim of the waste
receptor to prevent back siphoning. This is a gravity drain. The overflow line must end at a drain that is at least 3" lower than the bottom of the overflow fitting.
4.Attach the drain line. Route the drain line to a floor drain, laundry tub or other suitable waste recep- tor. Maintain a minimum of 2" (50mm) air gap between the drain line and the flood level rim of the waste receptor to prevent back siphoning.
5.Place the appliance in the bypass position and turn on the main water supply. Open the nearest cold water faucet to flush the plumbing of any excess sol- dering flux, air, or any other foreign material.
6.Close the faucet and check for leaks. If leaks are found, turn off the main water supply and open the nearest cold water faucet to depressurize the lines. Close the faucet to eliminate siphoning action. Repair leaks. Place the bypass in the "service" posi- tion. Slowly open the main water supply valve and fill the WaterMax. Then open the nearest cold water faucet to purge air out of the appliance. Close the faucet.
7.Connect the transformer power cord to the back of the controller.
8.Plug in the transformer.
9.Program the Appliance Control. See pages
10.Add water to the brine tank. Fill to a minimum of 2" above the grid plate. Make sure that the salt dosage is set as recommended for the application. After the first regeneration, the appliance will auto-
matically refill the correct amount of water into the brine tank.
11.Initiate a manual regeneration and inspect for proper operation. Allow the appliance to draw all the water out of the brine cabinet until the air check sets. Then advance to the Brine Refill position by using the Regenerate button. Let the tank fill with the proper amount of water. The controller will then step the valve to the Home position.
12.Fill the brine tank with salt. Note: Do not mix pellet with solar salt.
13.Open the inlet valve and turn on the electricity to the water heater. To complete the installation, open a cold water tap and allow the appliance to flush for 20 minutes or until approximately 72 gallons have passed through the appliance. Verify the flow rate on the controller, indicating water flow. (See figure 2.)
14.Make sure the bypass is left in the "service" posi- tion. Test the water at the test port to verify soft water. (See pg. 5).
15.Place covers on both cabinets.
we do not recommend using potassium chloride when iron and/or manganese is present in the raw water supply (see pg. 2).
