Suggested Slab Foundation Installation Plug the softener transformer into an inside, 120 volt 60Hz electrical outlet. If an outside outlet is used, be sure it has approved weather protection. WATER SOFTENER (install in garage, car port, or other sheltered area) Run drain tubing to laundry tub or p-trap inside home, if possible.
PIPE, FITTINGS, OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED You must first decide how to run "in" and "out" pipes to the softener. Look at your house main water pipe at the point you will connect the softener.
BEFORE iNSTALLiNG CHECKS & TESTS Your water supply needs to be checked for chemical analysis, water pressure and water flow rate. To accom- plish this, complete the following steps: Check Water's Chemical Analysis: Sears sells a com- plete line of water treating equipment to correct various water problems.
ASSEMBLE INLET OUTLET ADAPTORS, OR SINGLE BYPASS VALVE Complete the following steps to assemble the adaptors or bypass valve. 1. Close the shutoff valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank, to turn off the water. See Fig.
iNSTALLiNG HOLDING CLIPS Before installing the bypass valve, or copper tube, be sure the turbine and support are firmly in place in the valve outlet port.
POSITION SOFTENER INTO PLACE Complete the following steps to position the softener. 1. Grip under the ridge on the salt tank sidewall. 2. Carefully rock back and forth into position. 3. Move the softener into position. 4. Place on a level and smooth surface.
CONNECT THE VALVEDRAIN HOSE Take a length of 3/8" inside diameter drain tubing and attach oneend to the drain fitting. See Fig. 16. Use a tube clamp to hold it in place. Putthe other endof the tubing over a floor drain, into a laundry tub,standpipe, or other suitable drain.
LEAK TEST To check for leaks, complete the following steps: CAUTION: To avoid water or air pressure dam- age to softener inner parts, and to flush pipe chips or other residue from the water pipes, be sure to do the following steps exactly as instructed.
INSTALL GROUNDING CLAMP BETWEEN THE SOFTENER IN AND OUT PIPES The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance plugged into the out- let.
INSTALL COVERS After installing your water softener, replace the covers. Angle the covers so the main cover clips onto the back first, then bring down in front andclipon thetwo (2) tabs inside therim of the salt hole andlower the salt cover closed. See Fig.
SET PRESENT TiME OF DAY If the words PRESENT TIME do not show in the display, press the SELECT1 button until they do show in the dis- play. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the present time. Press UP to move the display ahead; press DOWN to move the time backward.
SANiTiZE THE WATER SOFTENER Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener will not infect or contaminate your water supply, or cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener.
ADDING SALT TO THE STORAGE TANK Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and every regeneration. The water for making brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the softener. You must keep salt in the tank, but because the water soften- er is very efficient, it is not necessary to keep it full.
CHECK LiST OF STEP-BY-STEP GUIDES TO iNSTALL Review the following list to ensure you have completed all the installation procedures, 1. Check the incoming water, Has incoming water been tested? 2. Remove cardboard packaging from salt tank, 3. Is the incoming water going to the valve inlet? 4.
EXTRARECHARGE Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are: • You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next timer started regeneration. • You did not refill the softener with salt before it was gone.
OPTIONAL SETTINGS: • SALT EFFiCiENCY • CLEAN FEATURE • CLEAN FEATURE MINUTES • 97% FEATURE • 12 / 24 HOUR CLOCK • GALLONS / LITERS • MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGEN ERATIONS 1. To set any of the following options, press and hold SELECT1 for 3 seconds until 000 shows in the display Then press once until the SALT EFFICIENCY display shows.
4. Press SELECT1 to show the 97%Feature. , , 97% Feature: The 97% Feature can save salt and water by regenerating when 97% of the softener's capacity has been used up. With this feature ON, the regeneration can occur at any time (whenever the sys- tem has reached 97% of its capacity).
AVERAGE DAILY GALLONS or LITERS Press the SELECT 2 button again to show the average number of gallons (or liters) of soft water the household uses each day. This water usage figure is adjusted daily by the faceplate timer. To turn this display off, press the SELECT 2 button once again.
SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION SERVICE When the softener is giving you soft water, it is called "Service". During service, hard water comes from the house main water pipe into the softener. Inside the sof- tener resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads.
SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION BRINING: During brining, the brine is moved from the salt storage area, into the resin tank. Inside the resin tank, brine cleans hardness minerals from the resin beads and they are discharged out the drain. How much brine is needed to clean the resin depends on: • The amount of water used between regenerations.
FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water down through the resin tank. The fast flow packs the resin bed and gets it ready for return to service. After fast rinse, the softener returns to service. Hard water goes into the resin tank where the resin bed again takes out the hardness minerals.
SALT BRIDGE Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the salt storage tank. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) in the water to make brine.
KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN CLeaning NozzLe & Venturi NOZZLE & VENTURI A clean nozzle and venturi (see Fig. 55) is a must for the softener to work right. This small unit moves brine from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during regeneration.
PROTECT THE WATER SOFTENER FROM FREEZING If the softener is installed where it could freeze (sum- mer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all water from it to stop possible freeze damage. To drain the sof- tener: 1. Close the shut-off valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank.
CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY If your water softener fails to work, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what is wrong yourself and you won't have to call and wait for service. If you do not find anything wrong, while making the checks, and your sof- tener still does not work, call your Sears Service Department.

ROTARY VALVE SERVICE IMPORTANT: Before working on the valve, turn off the water supply and disconnect from electrical power. TO RELIEVE PRESSURE: • 3 VALVE BYPASS: Close the inlet valve and open a soft water faucet. Then close the outlet valve and open the bypass valve.
WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE SERVICE CYCLE Hard water enters the valve inlet port. Internal valve porting routes the water down and out the top distributor, into the resin tank. Hard water is softened as it passes through the resin bed, then enters the bottom distributor.
WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE BACKWASH CYCLE Timer/switch action again allows the motor to turn the rotor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH, stopping water flow to the nozzle. Water is routed down and out the bottom distributor, up through the bed, and out the top distributor to the drain.
