3.4. System regeneration cycle
Note
This valve allows to do down flow or up flow regenerations.
3.4.1. Downflow regeneration cycle (5-cycles operation)

Service — normal use
Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness
ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the raw water being exchanged on the resin
beads against sodium ions. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.
Backwash — cycle C1
The flow of water is reversed by the valve and directed down through the riser tube and up through
the resin bed. During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain, while
the media bed is remixed.
Brine draw & slow rinse — cycle C2

The controller directs water through the brine injector and brine is drawn from the brine tank. The
brine is then directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. The
hardness ions on the resin beads are replaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The resin is
regenerated during the brine cycle. Afterwards the slow rinse phase starts.
Rapid rinse — cycle C3

The valve directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. Any
residual brine is rinsed from the resin bed, while the media bed is recompacted.
Brine tank refill — cycle C4

Water is directed to the brine tank, at a rate controlled by the refill controller [BLFC], to create brine
for the next regeneration. During brine refill, treated water is already available at the valve outlet.

4.2. Sizing a softener (single unit)

4.2.1. Parameters to be considered
Whenever installing a softener, it is preferable to have full water analysis to ensure the inlet water
content will not affect the resin bed.
Note
Please consult your resin manufacturer specifications to ensure that no additional
pretreatment prior to softening is required.
The below sizing method can be applied for both residential and industrial softeners.
The sizing of a softener must be based upon certain parameters:
• inlet water hardness;
• peak flow rate and nominal flow rate;
• service velocity;
• salt dosage.
The softening and regeneration reactions are driven under certain conditions. To allow these
reactions to take place, make sure that the velocity is convenient during the different phases for
proper ion exchange. This velocity is given in the resin manufacturer specifications sheet.
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 25 / 106

Depending on the inlet water hardness, the service velocity for standard softening must be between:
Service velocity Inlet water hardness °f
°dH
[bed volume per hour] [mg/l as CaCO3] °TH
8 - 40 <350 <35 <19.6
8 - 30 350 to 450 35 - 45 19.6 - 25.2
8 - 20 >450 >45 >25.2
Note
Failure to respect the service velocity will lead to hardness leakage or even total softener
inefficiency.
Note that the water supply piping size may also be useful when estimating the nominal flow rate, since
the size of the piping allows a maximum flow rate to pass. Assuming the maximum velocity of water
in pipes is about 3 m/s, a good estimation for most common pressure [3 bar] and temperature [16°C]
is:
Piping size (internal diameter) Max. flow rate

[in] [mm] [m3/h at 3 m/s]
0.5 12 1.22
0.75 20 3.39
1 25 5.73
1.25 32 8.69
1.5 40 13.57
2.0 50 21.20
2.5 63 34.2
3.0 75 49.2
4.2.2. Determining the required volume of resin

When sizing a softener, make sure that the volume of resin in the tank (bed volume) will be sufficient
so that even when the peak flow rate is reached, the velocity is still between the above values
depending on the hardness. When sizing a softener, always choose the resin volume and tank size
based on the peak flow rate but not on the nominal flow rate.
Note
Sizing on the nominal flow rate without taking the peak flow rate into account would result
in choosing smaller tank size and resin volume, and may lead in severe hardness leakage
during the service cycle when the peak flow is reached.
26 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

The maximum softened water flow rate that a softener can produce is given by the following formula:
Qservice max = Fsservice x BV with:

Qservice max: service flow rate [m3/h]
Fsservice: service velocity [BV/h]
BV: bed volume of resin [m3]
Knowing this required volume of resin, it is possible now to determine the tank you need. Note that at
least a third of the total volume of the tank must be kept as free space so that the bed expansion
during backwash is sufficient to ensure correct cleaning of the resin.
4.2.3. Resin exchange capacity and capacity of the unit

The resin exchange capacity and capacity of the unit are two different things that should not be
confused. The resin exchange capacity is the amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+ that can be retained by 1 liter
of resin, which will depend on the resin type and salt dosage, whereas the capacity of the unit is the
capacity of the system, which will depend on the volume of resin and resin exchange capacity.
Knowing the required volume of resin, you can determine the exchange capacity of the unit. The
capacity of the unit can be expressed in different ways:
• the mass capacity, which corresponds to the weight in equivalent CaCO3 that can be fixed on the
resin, expressed in kg as CaCO3;
• the volume capacity, which represents the maximum amount of water that can be treated
between 2 regenerations. This last capacity takes into account the hardness of the water to be
treated and is expressed in m3 or liters;
• the combined capacity, which represents the volume of water that could be treated between 2
regenerations if the inlet hardness is 1 °f or °dH. This capacity is expressed in °f.m3 or °dH.m3.
The resin exchange capacity will depend on the amount of salt to be injected into the resin bed during
the regeneration. This amount of salt is given in grams per liter of resin. The next table is showing the
resin exchange capacity in function of the amount of salt for a system with standard efficiency
regeneration.
Resin exchange capacity as a function of the salt dosage:

230 66.9 6.69 3.74
260 71 7.1 3.97
290 75.3 7.53 4.21
To calculate the system mass capacity:
Mcapacity = Vresin x Cresin ex with:

Mcapacity: system mass capacity [g as CaCO3]
Vresin: volume of resin [L]
Cresin ex: resin exchange capacity [g/Lresin as CaCO3]
To calculate the system combined capacity:
Ccapacity = Vresin x Ccor resin ex with:

Ccapacity: system combined capacity [°f.m3 or °dH.m3]
Vresin: volume of resin [L]
Ccor resin ex: corresponding resin exchange capacity 
[°f.m3/l or °dH.m3/l]
To calculate the system volume capacity:
Vcapacity = Mcapacity / THinlet with:

Vcapacity: system volume capacity [m3]
Mcapacity: system mass capacity [g as CaCO3]
or Ccapacity: system combined capacity [°f.m3 or °dH.m3]
THinlet: inlet water hardness [mg/L as CaCO3 or °f or °dH]
Vcapacity = Ccapacity / THinlet
Caution
If a mixing device is set on the valve before meter, TH = THINLET - THOUTLET.
Having determined the previous capacity allows the operator to know the service cycle duration.
28 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

4.2.4. Valve configuration

Knowing the volume of resin, tank size and specifications of the resin, it is possible to determine the
required valve configuration. The resin specification will give the backwash velocity, as well as the
brine draw and slow rinse velocity that must be respected in order to ensure a proper regeneration of
the unit. From this data, determine the required backwash flow rate as well as the brine draw and
slow rinse flow rate. In most cases, the fast rinse flow rate will be the same as the backwash flow rate,
however for certain valve types the fast rinse flow rate will be the same as the service flow rate.
To determine the backwash flow rate:
Qbackwash = Fsbackwash x S with:

Qbackwash: backwash flow rate [m3/h]
Fsbackwash: backwash velocity [m/h]
S: Tankcross section area [m2]
The DLFC installed on the valve has to limit the backwash flow rate to the above calculated flow rate.
To determine the injector size:

The velocities to be respected for brine draw and slow rinse are given on the resin manufacturer
specifications. Generally speaking, the injector has to allow a flow rate of about 4BV / h
(corresponding to the flow rate of brine being drawn added to the flow rate of raw water passing
through the injector nozzle to create the suction effect).
QInj = 4 x BV / h with:
Qinj: total flow rate passing through the injector [L/h]
BV: bed volume of resin [L]
Note
This value does not correspond to the brine draw flow rate but to the total flow rate passing
through the injector. Then refer to the injector diagrams at the inlet pressure in order to
check if the injector will give a correct flow rate. See chapters 4.3. Salt amount definition,
page 32 and 4.4. Injector flow rates, page 32.
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 29 / 106

4.2.5. Cycle time calculation

From this point, the volume of resin, the tank size, the capacity of the softener and the valve
configuration are determined. Next step is to calculate the regeneration cycle duration, which
depends on the valve configuration and once again on the resin specifications.
Note
Preprogrammed cycle times are only factory default programming that need to be adjusted
to fit the system requirements.
For cycle time calculation the valve configuration must be known, which depends on:
• the tank size;
• the resin specifications for the velocity for backwashing the resin bed;
• the velocity of water for brine draw, slow rinse and fast rinse.
Further information needed for cycle time calculation are:

• the resin volume previously determined;
• the salt amount used per regeneration;
• the volume of water to use for backwash, brine draw, slow rinse and fast rinse.
To calculate the backwash duration:
Tbackwash = (NBVbw x BV) / QDLFC with:

Tbackwash: backwash duration [min]
NBVbw: number of bed volume for backwash
BV: bed volume [L]
QDLFC: drain line flow controller size [L/min]
Note
The typical value of the volume of water to be used for backwash is between 1.5 and 4 times
the bed volume, depending on the inlet water quality.
30 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

To calculate the brine draw duration:

Knowing the injector draw flow rate at the working pressure:
Tbrine draw = Vbrine / Qdraw with:

Tbrine draw: brine draw duration [min]
Vbrine: brine volume to be drawn [L], see Refill calculation
page 32
Qdraw: injection draw flow rate [L/min]
Note
Multiply the amount of salt in kg by 3 to get a approximation of the brine volume to draw.
To calculate slow rinse duration:

The volume of water to be used for slow rinse is given in the resin manufacturers specifications.
Generally speaking, it is advised that between 2 and 4 BV of water is used to perform the slow rinse
after brine draw. The slow rinse cycle allows brine to be pushed slowly through the resin bed, allowing
the resin to be in contact with brine for sufficient time and therefore to be regenerated.
Refer to the injector curve at the common working pressure to determine the slow rinse duration.
Tslow rinse = (NBVsr x BV) / QSR with:

Tslow rinse: slow rinse duration [min]
NBVsr: number of bed volume for slow rinse
BV: bed volume [L]
QSR: injector slow rinse flow rate [L/min]
To calculate fast rinse duration:

The fast rinse is aimed at eliminating an excess of salt in the resin bed and also recompacting the
resin in the tank.
Depending on the valve type, the fast rinse flow rate is controlled by the DLFC or it has about the same
flow rate as in service. The fast rinse velocity can be the same as the service velocity, and the volume
of water to be used for the fast rinse is generally between 1 and 10 BV depending on the salt dosage.
Tfast rinse = (NBVfr x BV) / QDLFC with:

Tfast rinse: fast rinse duration [min]
NBVfr: number of bed volume for fast rinse
BV: bed volume [L]
QDLFC: drain line flow controller size [L/min]
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 31 / 106

To calculate the refill duration:

The refill flow rate is controlled by the refill controller (BLFC). The relation between the BLFC size,
the tank size and the resin volume is given in the valve specifications.
To calculate the refill duration:
Trefill = VWB / QBLFC with:

Trefill: refill duration [min]
VWB: Volume of water to be refill to prepare the brine [L]
QBLFC: BLFC size [L/min]
VWB = DSalt x BV / Ssol with:

VWB: Volume of water to be refill to prepare the brine [L]
DSalt: Salt dosage per liter of resin [g/L]
BV: Bed volume [L]
Ssol: 360g/L - Solubility of salt per liter of water
Note
When calculating the time required to draw the brine, take into account that the volume of
brine [Vbrine] will be 1.125 bigger than the volume of water refilled.

Installer Manual Fleck 2850 - SXT - Installation
5. Installation
Mandatory
It is strictly forbidden for not qualified personal, to accede to system’s internal parts to
perform any kind of technical action. Be sure to disconnect the electrical power, close the
water inlet and depressurize the system before opening the front cover to access internal
parts.
5.1. Warnings
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages to people or properties resulting from an
improper use of the device not compliant with the following instructions.
Whenever this guide doesn’t clarify all doubts about installation, service or maintenance, please
contact the technical support of the company that has installed the device.
Device installation must be done by a qualified technician according to the current standards and
regulations, using tools compliant with the device for a safe use and referring to that technician also
for device maintenance.
In case of out of order or malfunction, before performing any kind of action on the device, please
ensure to have disconnected the transformer from the power source, to shut off inlet water supply to
the valve and to drain water pressure opening a tap down-line of the valve.
1. Be careful when removing the valve from the box and during subsequent handling, weight is
liable to cause damage to property and persons in case of accidental impact.
2. Before sending the water on the valve, make sure that all plumbing connections are tight and
properly implemented in order to avoid dangerous leaks of pressurized water.
3. Use caution when installing welded metal piping near the valve, the heat may damage the plastic
body of the valve and the bypass.
4. Be careful not to let the full weight of the valve rest on fittings, pipes or bypass and vice versa.
5. Make sure that the environment in which the valve is installed does not reach water freezing
temperatures, the valve may be damaged.
6. Make sure that the tank containing the resin is vertical, otherwise the resin could enter in the
valve and damage it.
5.2. Safety notices for installation

• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual;
• only qualified and professional personnel are authorized to carry out installation work.
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 37 / 106

5.3. Installation environment

5.3.1. General
• Use only brine salts designed for water softening. Do not use ice melt salt, block, or rock salts;
• keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn on its side, upside down, or drop. Turning
the tank upside down may cause media to enter the valve or plug the upper screen;
• follow State and local codes for water testing. Do not use water that is micro-biologically unsafe
or of unknown quality;
• when installing the water connection (bypass or manifold) first connect to the plumbing system.
Allow heated parts to cool and cemented parts to set before installing any plastic parts. Do not
get primer or solvent on O-rings, nuts, or the valve.
5.3.2. Water
• Water temperature must not exceed 43°C;
• a minimum of 1.4 bar (dynamic pressure on injector) of water pressure is required for the
regeneration valve to operate effectively.
Mandatory
Do not exceed a maximum of 8.6 bar inlet pressure. Should this happen or be subject to
happen, it is necessary to install a pressure regulator upstream the system.
5.3.3. Electrical
There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC/DC transformer, motor, or controller. In the event of a
failure, these should be replaced.
• All electrical connections must be completed according to local codes;
• use only the power AC/DC transformer that is supplied;
Mandatory
The use of any other power transformer than the one supplied void the warranty of all
electronic parts of the valve.
• the power outlet must be grounded;

• to disconnect power, unplug the AC/DC transformer from its power source;
• an uninterrupted current supply is required. Please make sure that the voltage supply is
compatible with the unit before installation;
• make sure the controller power source is plugged in;
• if the electrical cable is damaged, it must imperatively be replaced by qualified personnel.
38 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

5.3.4. Mechanical
• Do not use petroleum-based lubricants such as vaseline, oils, or hydrocarbon-based lubricants.
Use only 100% silicone lubricants;
• all plastic connections should be hand tightened. PTFE (plumber’s tape) may be used on
connections that do not use an o-ring seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches;
• existing plumbing should be in a good shape and free from limescale. In case of doubt, it is
preferable to replace it;
• all plumbing must be completed according to local codes and installed without tension or
bending stresses;
• soldering near the drain line should be done before connecting the drain line to the valve.
Excessive heat will cause interior damage to the valve;
• do not use lead-based solder for sweat solder connections;
• the riser tube should be cut 5.7 mm below the top of the tank. Slightly bevel the ridge in order to
avoid deterioration of the seal whilst fitting the valve;
• the drain line must be a minimum of 12.7 mm (½") in diameter. Use 19 mm (¾") pipe if the
backwash flow rate is greater than 26.5 lpm or the pipe length is greater than 6 m;
• do not support the weight of the system on the valve fittings, plumbing, or the bypass;
• it is not recommended to use sealants on the threads. Use PTFE (plumber’s tape) on the threads
of the drain elbow, and other NPT/BSP threads;
• the installation of a prefilter is always recommended (100μ nominal);
• valve inlet/outlet must be connected to main piping via flexible.
5.4. Integration constraints

Location of a water treatment system is important. The following conditions are required:
• flat and firm level platform or floor;
• room to access equipment for maintenance and adding brine (salt) to tank;
• constant electrical supply to operate the controller;
• total minimum pipe run to water heater of 3 m to prevent backup of hot water into system;
• always install check valve before water heater to protect the softener from hot water return;
• local drain for discharge as close as possible;
• water line connections with shut off or bypass valves;
• must meet any local and state codes for site of installation;
• valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do not support weight of system on the
plumbing;
• be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 39 / 106

5.5. Valve connection to piping

The connections should be using PTFE (plumber’s tape) on the threads if using the threaded
connection type.
In case of heat welding (metal type connection), the connections should not be made to the valve when
soldering.
Note
See chapter 3.3. Description and components location, page 19 to identify the connections.
5.5.1. Top-mounted valve installation

When pressurized, any composite tank will expand both vertically and circumferential. In order to
compensate the vertical expansion, the piping connections to the valve must be flexible enough to
avoid overstress on the valve and tank.
In addition, the valve and tank should not be supporting any part of the piping weight. This is hence
compulsory to have the piping fixed to a rigid structure (e.g. frame, skid, wall…) so that the weight of
it is not applying any stress on the valve and tank.
Support to the wall
200 mm flexible
200 mm flexible
Support to the wall
40 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

• The diagrams above illustrate how the flexible piping connection should be mounted;
• in order to adequately compensate the tank elongation the flexible piping must be installed
horizontally;
• should the flexible piping connection be installed in vertical position, instead of compensating
the elongation, it will create additional stresses on the valve & tank assembly. Therefore this is
to be avoided;
• the flexible piping connection must also be installed stretched, avoiding excessive length. For
instance 20 - 40 cm is enough;
• excessively long and non-stretched flexible piping connection will create stresses on the valve
and tank assembly when the system is pressurized, as illustrated in the below picture: on the left
the assembly when the system is unpressurised, on the right the flexible piping connection when
put under pressure tends to lift up the valve when stretching up. This configuration is even more
dramatic when using semi-flexible piping;
• failure to provide enough vertical compensation may lead to different kinds of damage, either on
the valve thread which connects to the tank, or on the female thread connection of the tank that
connects to the valve. In some cases, damage may also be seen on the valve inlet and outlet
connections;
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 41 / 106

• in any case, any failure caused by improper installation and/or piping connections may void the
warranty of Pentair products;
• in the same way, using lubricant* on the valve thread is not allowed and will void the warranty for
the valve and tank. Indeed using lubricant there will cause the valve to be over-torqued, which
may lead to valve thread or tank thread damage even if the connection to piping has been done
following the above procedure.
*Note: Use of petroleum-based grease and mineral based lubricant is totally forbidden, not only on the valve thread, since
plastics used (especially Noryl) will highly suffer from contact with this type of grease, leading into structural damage hence
to potential failures.

5.7. Regeneration types
Note
For all regeneration types, the valve has the options with or without NBP (no hard water
coming out from outlet during regeneration).
Metered immediate control

A meter immediate control measures water usage and regenerates the system as soon as the
calculated system capacity is depleted. The control calculates the system capacity by dividing the unit
capacity (typically expressed in °TH*m3 volume) by the feedwater hardness and subtracting the
reserve. Meter Immediate systems generally do not use a reserve volume. A Meter Immediate control
will also start a regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time if a number of days equal to
the regeneration day override pass before water usage depletes the calculated system capacity.
Metered delayed control

A Meter Delayed Control measures water usage and regenerates the system at the programmed
regeneration time after the calculated system capacity is depleted. As with Meter Immediate systems,
the control calculates the system capacity by dividing the unit capacity by the feedwater hardness and
subtracting the reserve. The reserve should be set to insure that the system delivers treated water
between the time the system capacity is depleted and the actual regeneration time. A Meter Delayed
control will also start a regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time if a number of days
equal to the regeneration day override pass before water usage depletes the calculated system
capacity.
Time clock delayed control

A Time Clock Delayed Control regenerates the system on a timed interval. The control will initiate a
regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time when the number of days since the last
regeneration equals the regeneration day override value.
Day of the week control

This control regenerates the system on a weekly schedule. The schedule is defined in Master
Programming by setting each day to either “OFF” or “ON.” The control will initiate a regeneration
cycle on days that have been set to “ON” at the specified regeneration time.

5.9. By-passing
A bypass valve system should be installed on all water conditioning systems. Bypass valves isolate the
softener from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be used. Service or routine
maintenance procedures may also require that the system is bypassed.

Caution
Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
Caution
Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. Over time, stress may break the connections.
Caution
Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100%
silicone grease products when installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone grease may cause
plastic components to fail over time.
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 47 / 106

5.10. Drain line connection
Note
Standard commercial practices are expressed here. Local codes may require changes to
the following suggestions. Check with local authorities before installing a system.
Mandatory
The drain line must be built with 1" PVC rigid tube with an air gap must be present at the
drain.
Caution
Flexible and semi-flexible hoses may bend and whip during draining.
The drain line must be built with 1" PVC rigid tube with an air gap.
The drain line may be elevated up to 1.8 m providing the run does not exceed 4.6 m and water pressure
at the softener is not less than 2.76 bars. Elevation can increase by 61 cm) for each additional 0.69 bar
of water pressure at the drain connector.
Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used.
Secure the end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.
Note
Waste connections or the drain outlet shall be designed and constructed to provide
connection to the sanitary waste system through an air-gap of 2 pipe diameters or 50.8 mm
(2"), whichever is larger.
Caution
Never insert the drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or trap. Always allow an air gap
between the drain line and the waste water to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-
siphoned into the softener.

Drain
48 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

5.11. Overflow line connection

In the event of a malfunction, the brine tank overflow fitting will direct “overflow” to the drain instead
of spilling on the floor. This fitting should be on the side of the brine tank. Most tank manufacturers
include a post for the tank overflow connector.
To connect the overflow line, locate the hole on the side of the tank. Insert the overflow fitting into the
tank and tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown below. Attach a 25.4 mm (1") I.D. tubing
(not supplied) to fitting and run to drain.
Do not elevate overflow higher than overflow fitting.
Do not tie into the drain line of the controller unit. The overflow line must be a direct, separate line
from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions.

Drain tubing
Secure hose in place
Air gap

Caution
Floor drain is always recommended to avoid flooding in case of overflow.
5.12. Brine line connection

The brine line from the tank connects to the valve. Make the connections and hand tighten. Be sure
that the brine line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak may cause the brine line to drain
out, and the softener will not draw brine from the tank. This may also introduce air into the valve,
causing problems with the valve operation.
Most installations utilize a tank check valve.

Note
This chapter is available for standard regeneration types. Contact your supplier if the actual
regeneration is not standard and if you need assistance.
7.1. Water filling, draining and waterproofness inspection

7.1.1. Activating the softener with SXT controller
A With the bypass still in bypass position (inlet and outlet of the valve closed), plug in the SXT
controller to the power source.
B Proceed to programming according to your system specification if not done yet.
C Start a manual regeneration by pressing the regen button for 5 seconds. The piston will move
into backwash position. If the first cycle is not backwash, quick cycle the valve until the piston is
in backwash position. Once in this position, unplug the SXT controller from the power source.
D With the bypass still in bypass position, put the bypass slowly in service position.
E Open the nearest faucet close to the system.
The valve and tank will slowly get filled with raw water, allowing air to be purged by the drain
and/or by the open faucet next to the system. Open the inlet progressively until fully open
position.
F Once the drain runs clear and the bypass valve is fully in service position, plug in again the SXT
controller to the power source.
G Push on the regen button once to move the piston to the next regeneration cycle position. Leave
the valve 1 minute in each positions and move to the next one, until refill cycle is displayed. When
refill cycle is displayed, let the valve run the entire cycle and check the level of water in the brine
tank or cabinet. The level of water in the brine tank should be about 5 cm above the salt platform.
You may want to mark the level on the brine tank as this can be used as an indicator for the
future lifetime of the softener.
H Once refill cycle is completed, the valve will automatically go back into service position (unless
non-standard regen sequence is programmed). Start again a manual regeneration by pressing
for 5 seconds on the regen button. The valve will move to backwash position.
I Press the regen button once to move to brine draw position. Check to see in the brine tank if the
water level decrease.
J Once the draw function is observed and confirmed (level of water in the brine tank or cabinet has
decreased), you may go through each cycle pushing on the regen button until refill cycle, leave
the water come back to the "full" level, and then push on the regen button so that the valve
returns into service position.
Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018 65 / 106

K Fill the brine tank or cabinet with salt. You may want to mark the level of water in the brine tank/
cabinet when completely refilled with water and full of salt. In the future, after each
regeneration, you can visually control that the quantity of water refilled should be between the 2
marks done. Marking are optional, but may allow to visually detect any irregularity during
regeneration that may lead to softener inefficiency.
L With the brine tank completely refilled and full of salt, adjust the safety brine valve in the brine
well. Make sure the overflow elbow is installed above the float level.
M After the softener has been running a few minutes in service, proceed to hardness test on outlet
water to make sure the water is treated as per requirements.
The system is ready and in service.
7.2. Sanitization
7.2.1. Disinfection of water softeners
The materials of construction of the modern water softener will not support bacterial growth, nor will
these materials contaminate a water supply. In addition, during normal use, a softener may become
polluted with organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may result
in an off-taste or odor in the water.
Thus, your softener may need to be disinfected after installation. Some softeners will require periodic
disinfection during their normal lifetime. Consult your installing dealer for more information on
disinfecting your softener.
Depending on the conditions of use, the softener type, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant
available, a choice can be made among the following methods.
7.2.2. Sodium or calcium hypochlorite

These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and
bentonites.
5.25% Sodium hypochlorite

If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust the dosage
accordingly.
Dosage
Polystyrene resin: set 1.25 mL fluid per 1 L of resin.
Non-resinous exchangers: set 0.85 mL fluid per 1 L.
66 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

Brine tank softeners

Backwash the softener and add the required amount of hypochlorite solution to the well of the brine
tank. The brine tank should have water in it to permit the solution to be carried into the softener.
Proceed with the normal regeneration.
Calcium hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in several forms including tablets and
granules. These solid materials may be used directly without dissolving before use.
Do not let the disinfectant stand for more than 3 hours in the brine tank before the regeneration start.
Dosage
Measure two grains ~ 0.11 mL for 1 L.
Brine tank softeners

Backwash the softener and add the required amount of hypochlorite to the well of the brine tank. The
brine tank should have water in it to permit the chlorine solution to be carried into the softener.
Proceed with the normal regeneration.
7.2.3. Electro chlorination

Valves or systems already equipped with an electrochlorinator device or system will be sanitized
during the brine draw phase.

8.1.1. Display during operation
Examples:
• Valve in service with day time:
• Valve in service with volume remaining before regeneration:
• Remaining days before next regeneration:
• In volumetric regeneration mode, reserve 1223 liters remaining:
• In volumetric regeneration mode, exhausted reserve, immediate

or delayed start in regeneration depending on the adjustment:
Note
In delayed volumetric mode, the icon flashes as soon as the reserve begins to be used.
8.1.1.1 During regeneration

During a regeneration the display shows the current cycle step and the time remaining for that cycle.
The countdown for the time remaining starts only when the valve is in the cycle displayed.
Examples:
• Refill cycle, 12 min 38 sec. left:
• Rapid rinse cycle, 2 min 17 sec. left:
68 / 106 Ref. MKT-IM-030 / A - 26.04.2018

8.1.2. Recommendations
• Use only regeneration salts designed for water softening upon regulation EN973;
• for optimal system operation, the use of clean salt and impurities free is recommended (for
example salt pellets);
• the sanitizing process (both with liquid and electrochlorination) may introduce chlorine
compounds which may reduce the lifetime of the ion exchange resins. Refer to the technical
guides for resins in common use, providing necessary checks on the system.
8.1.3. Manual regeneration

failure, and will be restored upon power restoration;
• in regeneration, when power is shutting down, the controller saves the current regeneration
data. When power is restored, the controller resume the regeneration cycle at the point where
power failed;
Caution
Without power, the valve stay in its current position. The system should include all required
safety components to prevent overflows.
• all the program settings are stored in a permanent memory;

• time is kept during a power failure and the time of day is adjusted upon restoration of the power
(as long as the power is restored within 24 hours);
• the time of day on the main display screen will flash when there has been a power failure;
• the flashing of the time of day can be stopped by pressing any button on the display.
