INSTALLATION & STARTUP

Chapter 9 Water Softener

Model 213S OD / WA and WB Connections
2) 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.
3) Using the chart below, determine the hardness that meets or exceeds your local water hardness. Select the appropriate meter
disc and install it in the top of the Main Tank (see picture below). Compensated hardness is determined by multiplying the
number of PPM of ferrous iron x 3 and adding to actual hardness. Change the gray control disc (#9) to the white one that
is supplied.
NOTE: THE WHITE CONTROL DISC AND THE CORRECT METER DISC MUST BE
INSTALLED BEFORE PROCEEDING.
4) Open the inlet valve and the allow tanks to fill slowly with water. Water will run at the drain until unit is full and pressurized.
5) With the unit in service and under pressure, allow the brine drum to fill with water until the brine valve shuts off.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) Before leaving installation, check plumbing for leaks.
