4. Do not insta any unit c oser to a water eater t an atotal run of 10 feet (3 m) of piping between the outlet

f the conditioner and the inlet to the heater. Watereaters can sometimes over eat to t e extent t ey wi

transmit heat back down the cold pipe into the unitontrol valve.

Hot water can severely damage the conditioner. A 10-oot (3-m) tota pipe run, inc u ing en s, e ows, etc.,

is a reasonable distance to help prevent this possibility.

A positive way to prevent hot water owing from heatource to the conditioner, in the event of a negative

pressure situation, is to insta a c ec va ve in t e sowater piping from the conditioner. If a check valveis installed, make certain the water heating unit isqu ppe w t a proper y rate temperature an

5. Do not locate unit where it or its connections(inc u ing t e rain an over ow ines) wi ever eubjected to room temperatures under 34oF (1oC) orver 120oF (49oC).

6. Do not install unit near acid or acid fumes.

Common FeaturesSa t D a A ustmentThese models may be adjusted to produce maximum tominimum con itioning capacities y seing t e sa t ia ,which controls the amount of salt used per regeneration.

When desired, the minimum seing may be used oninsta ations i t e requency o regeneration is increaseto compensate for lower regenerated conditioningcapacity. The installing dealer will set the unit for propersa t usage. Furt er a justments are nee e on y i t ehardness of the water supply changes or if water usechanges dramatically. Capacity will need to be adjustedaccor ing y.

To a just sa t osage, insert a sma screw river into t ewhite indicator knob and move pointer to proper saltseing (Figure 10).

Note: To convert the salt seings from English to metric,

divide by 2.2 (e.g., 12 pounds 2.2 = 5.5 kg of salt).



T e amount o sa t p ace in t e rine tan as not ing todo with the amount of salt used during the regeneration

cycle. Water will dissolve and absorb salt only untilit ecomes saturate . A given amount o rine (sa t-saturated water) contains a specic amount of salt. Thesalt dial controls the amount of brine used during theregeneration cyc e (e.g., w en set at15 pounds (6.8 kg) the amount of brine the conditionerwill use for each regeneration will contain 15 pounds(6.8 g) o sa t, etc.)

Never let the amount of salt in the brine tank be lowert an t e norma iqui eve . Do not over oa t e rinetank with salt.

Guest CycleWhen abnormally high water usage exhausts yourwater conditioners capacity ahead of schedule, an extraregeneration can e ac ieve . Depress t e in icatorknob on the 440i (5) with a wide-blade screwdriver andturn COUNTERCLOCKWISE to START o initiate aregeneration. For t e 460i, simp y epress t e in icatorknob (5). It will take a few minutes for regeneration tostart. A normal regeneration will take approximately two

IMPORTANT Service procedures that require the waterpressure to be removed from the system are marked with

a a er t e possi e cause. To remove water pressurefrom the system, put the bypass valve or three-valve

bypass into the bypass position and open the backwashrain va ve (t e sevent va ve ac rom t e contro ) wit

a screwdriver. Restore system water pressure when theservice work is completed.

The problems outlined below are the most commonoccurances of problems. If you are unable to solve yourpro em wit t is manua , contact t e manu acturer.

Hard water leakage during service. Improper regeneration. Repeat regeneration making certain that thecorrect salt dosage is set.

Leaking of bypass valve Replace O-ring.

D s nfect on of WaterConditionersThe materials of construction of the modern wateronditioner will not support bacterial growth, nor will

t ese materia s contaminate a water supp y. However,the normal conditions existing during shipping, storage

Thus every conditioner should be disinfected aerinsta ation, some wi require perio ic isin ection
