Installation Note

A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited lifespan and if not replaced, will eventually fail. Failure can happen early due to unforeseen circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. We strongly recommend that a drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage. We also strongly recommend that the water supply be turned off, upstream to the water filter system/tap, if no one is home for an extended period of time.

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

Warning: Chlorine (free chlorine) tolerance is 1ppm – high chlorine levels permanently damage the softening resin & is not covered under warranty. If chlorine exceeds this limit, we recommend a carbon pre-filter such as the WH2 or CFS Series. Please refer to Puretec for a specific recommendation. In any case, a carbon pre-filter is recommended to protect against chlorine spikes & prolong the resin life.

Before Installation

Professional Installation Required

• Installation requires shutting water off to home, cutting home water supply pipe and using a welding torch to add piping and fittings. Specialized tools and skills are required, this must be completed by a qualified tradesperson.

Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested

• An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water conditioning equipment. Your dealer will generally perform this service for you, and may send a sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations. Enter your analysis information on page 4 for your permanent record.
• Softeners are designed to reduce hardness but can handle reasonable amounts of soluble iron if consideration is given to content when selecting model and regeneration settings. For best results contact Puretec to discuss.

Install Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly

Select the location of your water softener with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:

• Install as close as possible to a drain.
• Install in correct relationship to other water treatment equipment. Contact Puretec for assistance.
• Install the softener in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above 43.3°C (110°F) will damage the softener and void the warranty.
• DO NOT install the softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the warranty.
• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur without installing an arrestor.
• Allow sufficient space around the installation for easy servicing. Provide a nonswitched 240V power source for the control valve.
• Protect from pressure vacuum with a suitable vacuum breaker.
• Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. (Ref. AS/NZS 3500.1:2021, Clause 3.3.4).
• For point of entry installations an approved backflow prevention device must be installed.

Things to Remember While Planning Your Installation

• All installation procedures MUST conform to local plumbing codes.
• If lawn sprinklers, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated by the water softener, a larger model MUST be selected to accommodate the higher flow rate plus the backwashing requirements of the water softener. Contact Puretec for assistance.

WARNING:  THESE STEPS ARE CRITICAL FOR THE CORRECT INSTALLATION OF YOUR WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM.

• The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignment but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
• The unit must be installed on a surface that is firm, level, horizontal in both directions and fully supports the entire base of the softener. The softener can weigh a considerable amount when full and the base must be suitable to support this weight.
• Do not use petroleum jelly, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.
• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Thread seal tape is the preferred sealant but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of ⅝”.
• Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on filter system.
• Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required.
• Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures.
• Chlorine (free chlorine) tolerance is 1ppm – high chlorine levels permanently damage the softening resin & is not covered under warranty. If chlorine exceeds this limit, we recommend a carbon pre-filter such as the WH2 or CFS Series. Please refer to Puretec for a specific recommendation. In any case, a carbon pre-filter is recommended to protect against chlorine spikes & prolong the resin life.
• If pressure exceeds 500 kPa an approved pressure limiting device needs to be fitted.

Installation Procedure

Unpack the Equipment

Ensure all parts are present and have not been damaged in transport. You should have:

Extra Items Required

• Bag of Salt (refer for the type of salt to be used).
• ⅝” Tubing high pressure for drain and overflow.

Ensure Water Has Been Tested

• Input values into Table on and the analysis has been inspected by Puretec.

1. Position the Softener on a level surface. The unit must be installed on a surface or pad that is stable, level and able to support the entire base and wet weight of the unit.

Environmental conditions

• Operating temperature: 0 – 48°C

Water conditions

• Temperature: 0 – 50°C
• Pressure: 138 – 862* kPa

Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. (Ref. AS/NZS 3500.1:2021, Clause 3.3.4).

Installing the Bypass (optional – purchased separately)

• Uninstall the plastic fittings by turning the knob counter clockwise.
• Connect the bypass assembly followed by the plastic fittings. Hand tighten the knobs, do not overtighten.

Connecting the Softener

Connect the softener to main plumbing. Do not solder brass adapters while they are inserted in the control module. Pipework must be aligned correctly with the inlet and outlet ports. Failure to do so may cause the misalignment of the cabinet components.

Connecting the Drain Line

Connect extra tube (tubing not supplied) onto the 5/8” drain line (pre installed on the valve) from the valve to the drain. Ensure the drain line is not kinked. The line must not travel more than 2.4 m and no more than 6 m long from the valve, otherwise increase the diameter of the drain line. Connect drain and overflow to sewer or other approved salty water disposal point as approved by your local authority. Ensure drain line has an adequate air gap of 2 times the pipe diameter or 25 mm, whichever is larger.

Connecting the Overflow

Programming

1. Plug into an uninterrupted electrical outlet.
   • Note: the system transformers are not weather resistant and should be adequately protected. All electrical connections must be connected accordingly to local codes.
2. Proceed to ‘Programming’ section.

Programming – E3

GENERAL OPERATION

When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: days remaining or gallons remaining. Days remaining is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. The user can scroll between the displays as desired.

If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the present time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will appear on the display. When water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing through the system) the word ‘Softening’ or ‘Filtering’ flashed on the display if a water meter is installed.

SET TIME OF DAY

The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after expended power outages or when daylight savings begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset.

• Step 1: Press SET CLOCK
• Step 2: Current Time (hour): Set the hour of the day using or buttons.
  • Press NEXT to go to step 3.
• Step 3: Current Time (minutes) : Set the minutes of the day using or buttons. Press NEXT to exit Set Clock.
  • Press REGEN to return to the previous step.

OTHER SETTINGS

• Step 1: Press NEXT and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
• Step 2: Hardness : Set the amount of hardness in grains of hardness as calcium carbonate per gallon using the or buttons. The default is 13 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. The conversion factor to mg/l or ppm is 17 (divide mg/l or ppm by 17 = grains/gallon).
• Step 3: Day Override: When gallon capacity is set to off, sets the number of days between regeneration. The default is set to 28 days. When gallon capacity is set to AUTO or to a number, sets the maximum number of days between regeneration. If value set to ‘OFF’ regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If value is set as a number (allowable range from 1 to 28) a regeneration initiation will be called for on that day even if sufficient number of gallons were not used to call for a regeneration. Set Day Override using or buttons:
  • Number of days between regeneration (1 to 28); or
  • ‘OFF’
  • Press NEXT to go to step 4. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
• Step 4: Next Regeneration Time (hour): Set the hour of the day for regeneration using or buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12. The default time is 2:00 am. Press NEXT to go to step 5. Press Regen to return to previous step.
• Step 5: Next Regeneration Time (minutes): Set the minutes of day for regeneration using or buttons. The default setting is ‘00’
  • Press NEXT to exit Installer Displays/Settings.
  • Press REGEN to return to previous step.

REGENERATION MODE

• Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be used.
• When the system begins to Regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed.
• The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.

MANUAL REGENERATION

• Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as a manual regeneration. Theremay be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
• To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, when the regeneration time option is set to ‘NORMAL’ or ‘NORMAL + on0’, press and release ‘REGEN’. The words ‘REGEN TODAY’ will flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the present delayed regeneration time. If you pressed the ‘REGEN’ button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request.
• Note: If the regeneration time option is set to ‘on 0’ there is no set delayed regeneration time so ‘REGEN TODAY’ will not activate if ‘REGEN’ button is pressed.
• To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the ‘REGEN’ button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.

Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.

POWER LOSS

Your Puretec electronic control valve maintains the time for up to 8 hours using the internal PCB battery if power is interrupted. Nonvolatile memory stores the stats & programming & are not affected by power outages. After 8 hours of backup use, replace the battery with a type 2032, 3-volt lithium coin cell battery. If the time flashes on & off after a power loss the time of day should be reset & the flat battery replaced. In the unlikely event of a power loss during backwash, when power is restored, a dry-reset should be performed (refer to page 19 ), followed by a manual backwash/regeneration (refer to above) if convenient.

Start-up

Now programming is completed you are ready to start the system.

1. Fill the brine tank with ‘water softener’ salt to approximately half full (salt not included). This will require approximately 50 kg (this is only required initially).
2. Add approximately 15 litres of water to the salt in the brine tank. This is only required for the initial setup.
   • Note: The water level will drop significantly after the first backwash, and may disapppear below the salt line. This is normal and no extra water will be required.
3. Open the nearest tap downstream of the filter system (after the filter system).
4. Allow water to flow through the system slowly, and allow all air to escape out of the closest tap. Wait until the water is flowing out of the tap and then increase the flow slowly up to full flow. Allow to run for 5 – 10 minutes.
5. Close the opened tap and check for leaks.
6. Conduct a full manual regeneration.
7. Your system is ready for use.

Regeneration

E3 Valve: (Regeneration Time: 90 mins)

This will adjust regeneration automatically once you have entered the correct hardness level in the programming section.

Replenishment of Salt Supply

The salt storage capacity of the brine tank is approximately 50 kg. During each regeneration a small amount of salt is consumed, thus requiring periodic replenishment for a continuous supply of softened water (the frequency and salt dosage level is dependent on the regeneration schedule). We recommend to maintain the salt level in the brine tank to 1/2 to 2/3 full. The water level in the brine tank is maintained automatically and does not require manual intervention.

NOTE

• The water level is usually below the salt level & therefore cannot be seen (this is not a problem). Always replenish salt before the supply is exhausted.
• No extra water is required when topping up the salt level.

Type of Salt to Use

• Any type of water softener salt may be used, but for best results, we recommend using coarse solar salt called “water softener salt” or alternatively “pool salt”.

Media Replacement

Resin ordering code: RMK-SOL30 for SOL30-E3 and RMK-SOL40 for SOL40-E3. Customer Service Helpline at 1300 140 140 (AU) and 0800 130 140 (NZ) for more details. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with achammer.

Replace the Backup Battery

The backup battery (CR2032 coin) keeps the time in case of a power outage. The battery should be replaced annually or after extended periods without power. Replacement batteries can also be ordered using code: BA-CR2032 through your local Puretec dealer.

1. Turn off the power to the unit and remove the valve cover.
2. Using a non conductive item (like the plastic end of a pen), poke the battery from underneath the battery mount and slide the old battery out.
3. Insert the new battery into the battery mount, ensuring is fully seated and in the correct orientation (as shown).
4. Replace the valve cover and switch the unit back on.
5. Reset the time if needed by following the time programming instructions in this user guide.
