Installing the Brine Valve

After the adjustments have been made to the adjuster tube and the float
cup, the brine valve assembly must be installed in the brine drum. Locate
the brine valve in the brine well so that the 3/8" bent tube is along the
back of the brine well away from the brine drum wall. The 3/8" bent tube
snaps into a notch and extends from the brine drum about 1 inch.
Do not drop the brine valve into the drum!
Dropping may lower the float cup, resulting in an improper setting.
1. Add a clean grade of softener salt at this time. DO NOT USE ROCK SALT.
On iron-bearing water, a salt that contains resin cleaning additives is recommended.
2. Open the inlet valve and allow tanks to fill slowly with water. Water will run at the drain until unit is full and
pressurized.
3. With the unit in service and under pressure, allow the brine drum to fill with water until the brine valve shuts off.
4. After the unit is fully pressurized, purge air from the lines by opening soft water outlet.
When installation is complete, plumbing lines must be chlorinated for sanitation. Common household bleach
may be used. The amount of bleach will vary on plumbing size, length and fixtures.
5. VERY IMPORTANT! Where a brine drum overflow could cause damage, a 1/2" I.D. overflow line must be installed
on the barbed overflow fitting on drum and connected to a drain. Make sure drain is not higher than barbed
fitting. FOLLOW STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
6. Before leaving installation, check plumbing for leaks.
