EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION continued
Salt Line Connection
The salt line from the brine tube connects to the valve . Make
certain the connections are hand tightened . Be sure that the
salt line is secure and free from air leaks . Even a small leak
may cause the salt line to drain out, and the softener will not
draw salt from the tank . This may also introduce air into the
valve causing problems with valve operation .

CAUTION
This valve and control are for dry location use
only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power
supply suitable for outdoor use.
All 706 Series controllers operate on 12-volt alternating current
power supply . This requires use of the proper supplied AC
adapter included with your system .
AC Adapters:
Make sure power source matches the rating printed on the AC
adapter .
NOTE: The power source should be constant. Be certain
the AC adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power
interruptions longer than 8 hours may cause the
controller to lose the time setting. When power is
restored, the time setting must then be re-entered.

SYSTEM DISINFECTION

Disinfection Of Water Softeners
The materials of construction of the modern water softener
will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials
contaminate a water supply . During normal use, a softener
may become fouled with organic matter, or in some cases with
bacteria from the water supply . This may result in an off-taste
or odor in the water .
Some softeners may need to be disinfected after installation
and some softeners will require periodic disinfection during
their normal life .
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of softener, the
type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice
can be made among the following methods .
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
Application
Brine Tube
These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene
resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and bentonites .
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
These solutions are available under various brands of
household bleach . If stronger solutions are used, such as those
sold for commercial laundries, adjust the dosage accordingly .
1 . Dosage
A . Polystyrene resin; 1.2 fluid ounce per cubic foot
(35 .5 ml per 0 .03 cubic meter) .
B . Non-resinous exchangers; 0.8 fluid ounce per cubic foot
(23 .7 ml per 0 .03 cubic meter) .
2 . Salt tank softeners
A . Backwash the softener and add the required amount of
hypochlorite solution to the well of the salt tank . The salt
tank should have water in it to permit the solution to be
carried into the softener .
B . Proceed with the normal recharge .
Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available
in several forms including tablets and granules . These solid
materials may be used directly without dissolving before use .
1 . Dosage
A . Two grains, approximately 0 .1 ounce per cubic foot
(3 ml per 0 .03 cubic meter) .
2 . Salt tank softeners
A . Backwash the softener and add the required amount
of hypochlorite to the well of the salt tank . The salt tank
should have water in it to permit the chlorine solution to
be carried into the softener .
B . Proceed with the normal recharge .
