BYPASS VALVE
The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The 1″ full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building. Be sure to install bypass valve onto main control valve before beginning plumbing or make provisions in the plumbing system for a bypass. The bypass body and rotors are glass-filled Noryl® and the nuts and caps are glass-filled polypropylene. All seals are self-lubricating EPDM to help prevent valve seizing after long periods of non-use. Internal “O” Rings can easily be replaced if service is required.
The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow shaped handles. The handles identify the direction of flow. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.
1. NORMAL OPERATION POSITION: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved
arrows on the control valve. Water flows through the control valve for normal operation of a water softener or filter. During the regeneration cycle this position provides regeneration water to the unit, while also providing untreated water to the distribution system (Fig. 1).
2. BYPASS POSITION: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass. The system is isolated from the water
pressure in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the building (Fig. 2).
3. DIAGNOSTIC POSITION: The inlet handle points toward the control valve and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass
valve. Untreated supply water is allowed to flow to the system and to the building, while not allowing water to exit from the system to the building (Fig. 3). This allows the service technician to test the unit and perform other functions without disrupting the water going to the building.
NOTE: The system must be rinsed before returning the bypass valve to the normal position.
4. SHUT OFF POSITION: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points away from the
control valve. The water is shut off to the building. The water treatment system will depressurize upon opening a tap in the building. A negative pressure in the building combined with the unit being in regeneration could cause a siphoning to the building. If water is available on the outlet side of the unit, it is an indication of water bypassing the system (Fig. 4) (i.e. a plumbing cross-connection somewhere in the building).

INSTALLATION

GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping, but the water treatment unit is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants, or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black “O” Rings, but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon® tape must be used on the threads of the 1″ NPT inlet and outlet and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon® tape is not used on the nut connections or caps because “O” Ring seals are used. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic Service Wrench, # 100249864 (CV3193-02). If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.

MUNICIPAL INSTALLATION

1. The distance between the drain and the water conditioner should be as short as possible (see #9).

2. Since salt must be added periodically to the brine tank, it should be in an easily accessible location.

3. The media tanks should be installed on a firm, level surface (above or below grade).

4. It is NOT recommended to install any water treatment unit with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater.

CAUTION: To protect the unit in the event of a hot water heater backup, the manufacturer recommends the use of an expansion tank on the outlet side of the unit (see diagram).

5. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be subjected to temperatures under 33°F.
6. Do not subject the tank to any vacuum as this may cause an “implosion” and could result in leaking. If there is a possibility a vacuum could occur, please make provision for a vacuum breaker in the installation.
7. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Be sure to install Bypass Valve onto main control valve before beginning plumbing. (See installation picture to right. Be sure bypass is connected to treated water inlet and outlet.) If it is desired to bypass outside hydrants, a cold water kitchen sink, or other locations, provisions should be made at this time. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right front as you face the unit. There are a variety of installation fittings available. They are listed under the Installation Fitting Assemblies section of the manual. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and “O” Ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or “O” Ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and “O” Ring. Avoid getting solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the “O” Rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, install a copper grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe. Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local codes.

INSTALLATION

8. INSTALLING GROUND: To maintain an electrical ground in metal plumbing of a home’s cold water piping (such as a copper plumbing system), install a ground clamp or jumper wiring.
NOTE: If replacing an existing unit, also replace the ground clamps/wire. If removing a unit, replace the piping with the same type of piping as the original to assure plumbing integrity and grounding.

GROUND STRAP
SHUTOFF VALVE

9. DRAIN LINE: First, be sure that the drain can handle the backwash rate of the system. Solder

joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave

at least 6″ between the drain line flow control fitting and solder joints. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the flow control. Install a 1/2″ I.D. tube to the Drain Line Assembly in

GROUND STRAP

accordance with plumbing regulations or discard the tubing nut and use the 3/4″ NPT fitting for

rigid pipe (recommended). If the backwash rate is greater than 7 gpm, use a 3/4″ drain line. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a

drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7″ loop at the discharge end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain

connection on the control valve. This will provide an adequate anti-siphon trap. Piping the drain line overhead <10 ft is normally not a problem.

Be sure adequate pressure is available (40-60 psi is recommended). Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must

be used with appropriate air gap (see drawing). Run drain tube to its discharge point in accordance with plumbing codes. Pay special attention

to codes for air gaps and anti-siphon devices.

CAUTION: Never insert a drain line into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always allow an air gap of 1-1/2″ or twice the pipe diameter, whichever is greater, between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the softener.

10. SAFETY BRINE TANK CONNECTION: Install the 3/8″ O.D. polyethylene tube from the Refill Elbow to the Brine Safety Float valve in the brine tank.

ConnectionatRefillElbowonthecontrolvalve ConnectionatRefillElbowonthecontrolvalve (with optional chlorine generator)

Connection at Brine Safety Float in brine tank

11. OVERFLOW LINE CONNECTION: An overflow drain line is recommended where a brine overflow could damage furnishings or the building structure. Your unit is equipped with a brine tank safety float which greatly reduces the chance of an accidental brine overflow. In the event of a malfunction, however, an overflow line connection will direct the “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor where it could cause considerable damage. This fitting is an elbow on the side of the brine tank. Attach a length of 1/2″ I.D. tubing to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher than 3″ below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not connect this tube into the drain line of the control valve. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer, or tub. The overflow line is a gravity drain and cannot run higher than the initial drain point. Allow an air gap as per the drain line instructions.

The manufacturer has preset the unit so that the gallons between regenerations will be automatically calculated after the hardness is entered. Press NEXT to cycle to the next step or REGEN to return to the previous step.
STEP 1 ­ Press and hold the NEXT and + buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
STEP 2 ­ HARDNESS: Use the + or ­ buttons to adjust the hardness value in grains per gallons. Adjustable
from 1 to 150 gpg in 1 grain increments (default setting is 20). The hardness value is based on the actual compensated hardness of the water and must be set by an authorized dealer following an on-site water analysis. Adjusting the number will only impact the frequency of regeneration and will not alter or affect the hardness of the water treated by the unit.
Note: If a resin media is used, increase the grains per gallon if soluble iron is present (1 ppm = 4 gpg). This screen will not display if “FILTER” mode is selected.
STEP 3 ­ DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATION (DAY OVERRIDE): Use the + or ­ buttons to adjust the day
override. Adjustable from 1-28 days or OFF. The manufacturer has factory set OFF as the default for Twin units. The Day Override value represents the maximum number of days between regenerations. If any number is set (1-28 days), a regeneration will be scheduled for that day if the gallon capacity has not been met. If OFF is set, the unit will only initiate a regeneration once the gallon capacity has been met.
STEP 4 ­ IMMEDIATE REGENERATION: The manufacturer has set the regeneration to occur when zero gallons remain. When this occurs, the standby tank will switch into service and provide treated water while the tank requiring regeneration will start this process.
STEP 5 ­ SERVICE ALARM GALLONS: Use the + or ­ buttons to schedule a service alarm by gallons. Adjustable
in 100 gallon increments or OFF. The manufacturer has factory set OFF as the default. This feature is typically set by the installing dealer to warn the homeowner that service is required after a number of gallons have been consumed. If the feature is active, a specific gallon amount will appear. For more information regarding how to set service alarms, the installer should consult the master programming guide that corresponds to the unit being installed. Press the NEXT button three times to advance to the next screen.
STEP 6 ­ SERVICE ALARM TIME: Use the + or ­ buttons to schedule a service alarm in years. Adjustable in .25

BRINE TANK FILL

1. With the softener in the bypass mode (Fig. 2 on page 4) and the control valve in normal operation where the display shows either the time of day or the gallons remaining, manually add 8″ of water to the regenerant tank.
NOTE: If too much water is put into the brine tank during softener start up, it could result in a “salty water” complaint after the first regeneration. During the first regeneration, the unit will draw out the initial volume of brine/regenerant and refill it with the correct, preset amount.

2. With the softener in bypass mode, press and hold the button until the motor starts. Release button. The display will read “Pend 0” for about three seconds while the system transfers from one tank to another. After the transfer is complete, the valve will automatically advance to the “Backwash” position. Once the valve has stopped in this position, unplug the transformer so that the valve will not cycle to the next position. Open the inlet handle of the bypass valve very slightly, allowing water to fill the tank slowly in order to expel air from the tank.

CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly, there will be a loss of media to the drain.
3. When the water is flowing steadily to the drain, clear and without the presence of air, slowly open the inlet valve. Restore power and momentarily press the button to advance the control to the “BRINE” position.
4. With the bypass now in diagnostic mode (Fig. 3 on page 4), check to verify that water is being drawn from regenerant tank with no air leaks or bubbles in the brine line. There should be a slow flow to the drain. Disconnect brine line from the safety float valve in the brine tank and check for a vacuum. After proper confirmation, reconnect brine line, making sure to tighten securely.
5. Momentarily press again until the display reads “RINSE.” There should be a rapid flow to the drain. Unplug transformer to keep the valve in the “RINSE” position. Allow to run until steady, clear and without air. While the unit is rinsing, load the brine tank with water softener salt (refer to Brine Tank Maintenance and Salt section). Restore power.
6. Push again and the unit will advance to the “Brine Refill” position. Check to make sure the brine tank is refilling. The flow rate is usually .5 gpm for all residential and light commercial applications.
7. Push and the unit will return to normal operation.
8. Place unit into bypass mode again (see Fig. 2 on page 4) and press and hold the regen button to allow control valve to transfer to the second tank. Follow steps 2-7 to now expel air from this tank.
9. When finished expelling air from second tank, return bypass handles to normal operating position (see Fig. 1 on page 4). The unit is now online and soft water is available for use.
10. CONDITIONING OF MEDIA To flush any remaining debris and air from the system again: 1. Fully open a cold water faucet, preferably at a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator. 2. Wait two to three minutes or until water runs clear, then turn water off. 3. Turn on hot water and check for air, then turn water off after air is discharged.
11. SANITIZING OF UNIT UPON INSTALLATION AND AFTER SERVICE: At this time, it is advised to sanitize the softener: 1. Open brine tank and remove brine well cover. 2. Pour 1 oz. of household bleach into the softener brine well. NOTE: Avoid pouring bleach directly onto the safety float components in the brine well. 3. Replace brine well cover.
Unit sanitizing will be complete when the first cycle is run and the bleach is flushed from the softener.
12. Check time of day. Start-up is now complete.

2 . VACATION MODE: This feature may be used to “shut down”the system for a period of time by preventing the unit from regenerating. The
manufacturer has factory set “OFF” as the default. Turn feature “OFF” or “ON” using the + or ­ buttons. When turned “ON”, the unit will remain
in Vacation Mode until it is exited. There are two ways that a unit can exit Vacation Mode:

Manually: The user may manually exit Vacation Mode by changing the setting from “ON” to “OFF”. Once switched off, a delayed regeneration will queue for that night. Vacation mode may also be manually exited by holding the REGEN button to force an immediate regeneration.
Automatically: The unit will automatically exit Vacation Mode once water usage has resumed. After fifty gallons of water is used, the unit will set to resume normal operation and a delayed regeneration will queue for that night.

NOTE: In some instances, if a regeneration has been queued and the unit is taken out of Vacation Mode (manually or automatically), the unit will trigger an immediate regeneration instead of a delayed regeneration. For example, if the unit’s maximum Days
Between Regeneration is reached while the unit is in Vacation Mode, an immediate regeneration will trigger as soon as the unit is taken out of Vacation Mode.

CAUTION: Depending on the severity of water conditions and the length of no water usage, it may not be recommended to use this feature. Please contact dealer or manufacturer for more information.

3 . REGENERATION MODE: Typically a twin system regenerates when the capacity of the tank

include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to

be completed. The system will run through all remaining steps automatically and will reset to provide

treated water when the regeneration process has been completed.

4 . MANUAL REGENERATION: Sometimes there may be a need to regenerate a unit before the control valve calls for it. This may be needed if the system has been operating without salt for an extended period of time.
· To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the REGEN button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. This command cannot be canceled.
Once a manual regeneration is initiated, the unit will transfer to the second tank in order to supply conditioned water. Upon transfer, the depleted tank will begin its regeneration.

OPERATING DISPLAYS AND MAINTENANCE:

5 . POWER LOSS AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT: If an extended power outage occurs, the control valve will retain the time of day settings until the board’s battery is depleted. Once the battery is depleted, the display will appear dark and absent of any information. If this occurs, following these steps will determine if the problem is a low battery or a board failure.

To determine if the battery is depleted: 1. Remove valve cover. Disconnect power from PC Board at the four pin connector at the bottom of the board.

2. Wait five minutes for board to de-energize. Remove battery with a non- conductive/non-metallic material. Reference the Parts Breakdown section of this manual for location.

3. Wait five minutes for board to de-energize.

4. With the battery out, re-connect the power supply to the board. The board’s display should begin to show information.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

This indicates that the board is operating correctly. If the display does not work, call installing dealer for service.

5. To replace with new battery, unplug transformer from outlet. Install a 3 volt Lithium Coin Cell type 2032 battery, available at most stores. Plug unit back into outlet.

It is important to replace the battery with the valve unplugged to avoid causing a short and potentially ruining the board.

6. Reset the time of day (see programming procedures) and initiate regeneration (see operating displays and maintenance).

If these procedures do not remedy the problem, please consult the installing dealer for service.

number, record the ERRORnumber and contact your servicing dealer promptly. This indicates that the control valve was not able to function properly.

ERROR 106

7 . BRINE TANK MAINTENANCE AND SALT: Refill the brine tank as necessary, making sure at least 1/3 of the brine tank is full at all times. Without proper salt levels, the water softener may not operate properly.

Because “typical” settings of this water softener include a dry salt storage feature (a small amount of water in brine tank between regeneration), the manufacturer recommends the use of solar salt for best results. The brine tank is manufactured for the use of solar, pellets or rock salt.Do not use block salt. If pellet or rock salt is
used, a cleaning of the brine tank every six months is recommended. If the dry salt storage feature is not being
utilized, block salt may be used.

CAUTION: With some models the manufacturer does NOT recommend the use of any resin cleaners, nor placing any resin cleaners into the brine tank. Furthermore, do not use any salt that indicates it is an iron cleaning salt or that contains any cleaning additives. This may be harmful to the water softener and for human consumption. Consult dealer for proper cleaning instructions.

8 . CHECK SALT INDICATOR AND AUDIBLE ALARM: This control valve is equipped with a low salt warning to alert homeowners that the system is operating in a low salt condition. This usually indicated that the salt level in the brine tank is too low to operate properly. If “CHECK SALT” appears on the screen, there will usually be an audible alarm that sounds also (if turned on), alerting you to these conditions.

CHECK
SALT
SALT ALARM SCREEN

TO TURN OFF ALARM: If the audible alarm sounds due to a low salt condition, press any button on the face of the control valve to turn off. If the salt is not added to the brine tank before the next regeneration, the CHECK SALT indicator will alarm again. This will repeat until the problem is corrected.

1 All TotalCare water conditioners are pre-factory set at medium salting. Note: influent waters must be at least 3 GPG hardness and 80 TDS. A calcite or corosex unit may be needed for correct operation. 2 Combined iron and manganese removal varies depending on the form of iron, manganese, pH and other local conditions. On waters that are prechlorinated or where other pre- oxidation occurs, precipitated metal oxides may form that are too fine to be filtered. 3 The pH listed is the minimum for the influent water. 4 Optimum pH adjustment occurs at 3.0 gpm or less at maximum salt settings. Higher flow rates will produce less pH adjusted water. 5 Unit not tested for capacity at these flow rates. Water quality may vary.

For a period of TEN YEARS:

Brine tank.

For a period of FIVE YEARS:

Complete valve.

For a period of ONE YEAR:

All other parts and components.

Any part found defective within the terms of this warranty will be repaired or replaced by the dealer at the manufacturer’s discretion. You pay only freight from our factory and local dealer charges. To obtain local warranty service, contact original dealer. If original dealer is unknown, contact Water-Right for authorized service dealer in your area. If no authorized dealer is located in your area, please ship defective part or component freight prepaid to:

Water-Right, at its discretion, will repair or replace the part or component at its expense and return part freight collect.
The above provisions of the warranty are valid as long as the unit is connected in compliance with local plumbing codes and in an equivalent manner and condition of the original installation and is owned by the original owner.
This warranty does not cover expendable or misapplied medias, or damages due to accident, fire, flood, freezing, or any other Act of God. Water-Right is not responsible for damages due to change in water conditions, misapplication, misuse, neglect, vacuum, oxidizing agents, alteration, or lack of maintenance. No responsibility is assumed for loss of use of the unit, inconvenience, loss or damage to real or personal property or any incidental or consequential damages. Furthermore, we assume no liability and extend no warranties, express or implied, for the use of this product with a non-potable water source.
