CP Softener Series Owner's Manual
Level 6
CP Softeners utilize downflow service and countercurrent regeneration. Untreated water enters
the valve and flows down through the resin, up the distributor tube and out to service. The
regeneration flow is opposite to this.
Additional System Components
By-pass Valve
Main
Remote
Resin Tanks
Each system uses two resin tanks. The main tank includes the Kinetico control valve. The secondary tank is referred to as
the remote tank.
Upper Distributor
The distributor prevents channeling of the inlet stream into the top of the resin bed. A plastic molded
distributor is attached to the top of the control valve. The distributor also prevents resin from
backwashing out of the tanks.
Riser Tube
A riser tube is used to connect the lower distributor to the control valve. The riser tube is 1.0" in diameter. The CP 216s
OD riser tube increases to 1.5".
Distributors
The lower distributors are of a slotted hub design. This cone provides for excellent flow distribution through the resin bed.
Media
High capacity, uniform bead resin is used in the compact commercial softeners. The resin has a capacity of 30,000
grains/ft
when regenerated at a brine setting of 15 lb/ft

Tank Interconnection
Each twin tank system uses a set of inter-connectors to provide a water path from the main control valve to the remote
tank. This interconnecting plumbing is included with the system package. It uses a double O-ring seal to provide a leak-
free connection. A connector link and pins hold the tanks together under pressure.
System By-pass
For each system, a by-pass is recommended. This can be installed using three ball
valves or installing a Kinetico by-pass valve (Item #11351A). This allows the system to
be isolated during any service operations. By-pass valving is not included as a part of
the system package.
