Inspection
The WC400 system is shipped with several parts unassembled.
When parts are removed from the packing, they should be
inspected for damage. If any parts are damaged or missing,
contact your supplier.
WARNING: When handling the media tank do
not turn it upside down or drop on its side.
When the carton is first opened, the softener will be standing
upright. The salt tank will be turned over and covering the softener
(Figure 3).

To assemble the Salt Tank:
1. If the floor under the salt tank is uneven, the leveling feet may
be installed. Lay the empty salt tank on its side. Press or tap
the feet into the pockets.
2. Stand the salt tank up and in position. Level as needed. The
tank has two ports that will be connected. One to a drain and
one to the valve.
3. Place the brine tube in position inside the pocket at the
bottom of the tank. Install the overflow fitting.
4. Place the tank collar over the top of the brine tube. Position
the collar and push it down into the tank. Lay the cover aside
for now.
To Assemble the Media Tank:

Tank and Probe Assembly
The probes are preinstalled to the media tank. The probes are
located behind an access panel on the jacket of the media tank. To
remove the access panel, remove the four screws and washers.
Use only 100% silicone lubricant on the probe O-rings (Figure 5).
Do not allow the lubricant to come into contact with the probe
pins. Install the probe assemblies into the tank and secure with
the locking clasp (Figure 6).
Important: The pins on the probes will only fit into the bulkhead
fittings one way. The pins must go into the matching holes at the
bottom of the fitting. The probe with the shortest length of wire
must be on top.
Install the protective shield (Figure 6 ).
Note: Do not attempt to tighten or loosen the Bulkhead fittings,
as they are secured with a locking adhesive.

WARNING: The media tank contains loose
particles that will shift. If the tank is turned
upside down or laid back quickly, the particles
may enter the valve. If this happens, the valve
may need to be disassembled and cleaned.
