We Service All Water Softeners and We Sell Parts for All Water Softeners

We will service all water softeners.

There was a survey that was performed in connection with the Central Arizona Salinity Study (CASS) which studied water softener penetration in the Phoenix Arizona metro area. At the time the survey was conducted (2004) it was estimated that the penetration of water softeners was 51 percent – for homes built since the year 2000 – and it was 47 percent for homes built in the 1990’s. The CASS is now estimating that about 26 percent of all homes in the Phoenix area have water softeners. (this is my information source: e-mail dated 09.09.13 from David Perry ‘Executive Director of the Arizona Water Quality Association’)

In our effort to be the best water conditioning company in the world; we want to become service experts on all water softener units and all water filtration units ‘residential and commercial’.   We wish to carry the most common parts (with an emphasis on recycled parts) for these units and provide service to these units. If we don’t have the parts – we will seek and research the parts and procure them for you. We liken this approach to adopting orphan water treatment equipment.  We love the people we meet utilizing this approach.  If we can’t fix your unit – we will learn or suggest to you the alternative options to economically provide you soft water. We are very upfront business people and water treatment professionals. We will always tell you that we have developed some unique rental water treatment approaches that represent our three operating tenants: 1. To raise the standard of our water treatment industry 2. To aggrandize our client relationships and 3. To develop a sustainable approach to water treatment that will benefit our client’s budgets and positively impact higher quality results for water treatment in our region.

Our approach is to earn your trust by adding the highest value to your existing water treatment equipment.

Here are pictures of some of the units we service.  Our onus is to continue to increase our water treatment service repertoire and add the pictures of all these different units.  If there is a certain type of water treatment equipment being installed in the Phoenix Metro area of Arizona; we will seek to own it – explicate this – dissect this and sell the parts.  Once we learn the unit – we will want more of these units (to gain more individual parts on each different type of unit) to share with you.  We hope to increase your water treatment value and experience with this approach.

08.08.14 These are two images of Clack Water Softeners displayed by Francisco and Marco.  We carry all the components and parts to service these water softeners.  These are good water softeners.  When one of our clients purchase a water softener; this is the brand of valve that we install.  We build our own water equipment, deliver, install, service and customer service this equipment.  We feel this is one of our success formulas.  We are a one stop shop.  The same people you talk to on the phone will be the same people who build your unit and install and service this unit for you.

Clack WS 1 water softener valve – parts and operational manual

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 WS 1 bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility and state of the art design features. The 1″ full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that allows service personal to work on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypass water to the facility or residence. It’s completely non-metallic, all plastic design allows for easy access and serviceability without the need for tools.

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 0-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 identity the flow direction of the water. 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 during normal operation and this position also allows the control valve to isolate the media bed during the regeneration cycle.

2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass, the control valve in isolated from the water pressure contained in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the plumbing system.

3. Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points in the direction of flow and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass valve, system water pressure is allowed to the control valve and the plumbiiig system while not allowing water to exit from the control valve to the plumbing.

4. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points in the direction of flow, the water is shut off to the plumbing system. If water is available on the outlet side of the softener it is an indication of water bypass around the system (i.e. a plumbing connection somewhere in the building bypasses the system).

Service Instructions

Drive Assembly

Remove the valve cover to seems the drive assembly

Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor or water meter plugs from the PC board. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board. The power source plug connects to the four-pinjack. The four-pinjack is between the two-pin and three-pin jacks. The water meter plug (gray wire) connects to the three-pin jack on the far right-hand side of the PC board.

The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the display panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the drive bracket, unplug the power, water meter and motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the top of the drive bracket while pulling outward on the top of the PC board. The drive bracket has two plastic pins that fit into the holes on the lower edge of the PC board. Once the PC board is tilted about 45 from the drive bracket it can be lifted off of these pins. To reinstall the PC board, position the lower edge of the PC board so that the holes in the PC board lineup with the plastic pins. Push the top of the PC board towards the valve until it snaps under the middle latch, weave the power and water meter wires into the holders and reconnect the motor, water meter and power plugs.

The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is not necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive bracket start by removing the plugs for the power source and the water meter. Unweave the wires from the side holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back plate hold the drive bracket in place. Simultaneously lift the two tabs and gently ease the tap of the drive bracket towards your body. The lower edge of the drive bracket has two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on the drive bracket to disengage

the notches.

To reassemble seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the drive back plate. Push the top of the drive bracket towards the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be lifted slightly to let the threaded piston rod pass through the hole In the drive bracket Maintain a slight engaging force on top of the drive bracket while deflecting the bracket slightly to the left by pressing on the side of the upper right corner. This helps the drive gears mesh with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket is properly seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive back plate. If resistance is felt before latching, then notches are not filly engaged, the piston rod is not in hole, the wires are jammed between the drive bracket and drive buck plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly.

To inspect drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. The drive gear cover is held in place on the drive bracket by three clips. The largest of the three clips is always orientated to the bottom of the drive bracket. Before trying to remove the drive gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from the drive bracket without removing the motor or the PC board. Simultaneously, push in and down on the large clip at the bottom and the clip on the left-hand side of the drive bracket behind the PC board. Keep your other fingers behind the drive gear cover so the drive gears do not drop on the ground.

Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the reflective coating became dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.

The drive gear cover only fits on one way, with the large clip orientated towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of the gear shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place.

The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To remove the motor, disconnect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Rotate the motor at least a% turn in either direction before gently pulling on the wire connectors to remove the motor. Pulling directly on the wires without rotating the motor may break the wires off the motor.

 

Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. When reinstalling the motor gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover and the small plastic bulge engages one of the slots on the motor housing. Reconnect the motor plug to the two pronged jack on the lower left hand side of the PC board. If motor will not easily engage with drive gear when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate motor before reinserting.

Replace the valve cover. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN bottom for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the soft ware version (e.g. 154) and then reset the valve to the service position.

Drive Can Assembly Main Piston and Regenerant Piston

The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly most be removed to access the piston(s). The drive cap assembly is threaded into the control valve body and seals with an o-ring. To remove the drive cap assembly use the special plastic wrench or insert a ¼’ to /i flat bladed screwdriver into one of the slots around the top 2″ of the drive cap assembly so it engages the notches molded into the drive back plate around the top 2′ of the piston cavity.  The notches are visible through the holes. Lever the screwdriver so the drive cap assembly turns counter clockwise. Once loosened unscrew the drive cap assembly by hand and pull straight out.

The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts that should not be dissembled in the field. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the 0-ring. Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston (down flow or up flow) and if a regenerant is used, a regenerant piston.

The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by unsnapping it from its latch. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove the main down flow or up flow piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the number. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar or replace the main piston.

Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not lubricate the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston. Lubricant will adversely affect the red or clear lip seals. Reinsert the drive cap assembly and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue to tighten the drive cap assembly using a screwdriver as a ratchet until the black o-ring on the spacer stack assembly is no longer visible through the drain port. Excessive force can break the notches molded into the drive back plate. Make certain that the main drive gear still turns freely. The exact position of the piston is not important as long as the main drive gear turns freely.

 

Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the soft ware version (e.g. 154) and then reset the valve to the service position.

spacer stack assembly

To access the spacer slack assembly remove the drive assembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack assembly can be removed easily without tools by using thumb and forefinger. Inspect the black 0-rings and red or clear lip seals for wear or damage Replace the entire stack if necessary. The spacer stack assembly has been 100% tested at the factory to insure proper orientation of one way seals. Do not disassemble the stack.

The spacer stack assembly maybe chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar) or wiped with a soft cloth.

The spacer stack assembly can be pushed in to the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can be compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (5/8″ to 1-1/8″ in diameter) to push the center of the assembly into the control valve body. – The assembly is properly seated when at least four threads are exposed (approximately 5/8″). Do not force the spacer stack assembly in. The control valve body bore interior can be lubricated with silicone to allow for easy insertion of the entire stack. Do not use silicone or any other type of lubricant on the red or clear lip seals or the piston.

Reattach the drive cap assembly and piston(s) and the drive assembly.

After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position The display should flash all wording, then flash the soft ware version and then reset the valve to the service position.

Injector Can. Screen Injector Plug and Injector

Unscrew the injector cap and lift off. Loosen cap with special plastic wrench or pliers if necessary. Attached to the injector cap is a screen. Remove the screen and clean if fouled.

The plug and/or injector can be pried Out with a small screwdriver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace the entire plug. The injector consists of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or sodium bisulfite. The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the flow rates of water to insure that the proper concentration of regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should not be used to clean the injector. Scoring the injector or increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating parameters of the injector.

Two holes are labeled DN and UP. Check for compliance with one of the following:

1. for down flow systems, the appropriate size injector in located in the “DM’ hole, a plug is in the “UP” hole and that the piston is a combination of the down flow main piston and the regenerant piston.
2. for up flow systems, the appropriate size injector is located in the “UP” hole, a plug is in the “Whole and that the piston is a combination of the up flow main piston and the regenerant piston; or
3. for backwash only systems, a plug is in the “DN” hole and in the “UP” hole, and that the piston only has a down flow main piston (the regenerant piston must be removed) and a plug is in the refill flow control position.

Push the plug(s) and/or injectors firmly in place, replace the screen and hand tighten the injector cap.

Refill Flow Contrpl Assembly or-Refill Port Plug

To clean or replace the refill flow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight upon the elbow. Replace the elbow locking clip in the slot so that it is not misplaced. Twist to remove the white flow control retainer. The flow control can be removed by prying upward through the side slots of the retainer with a small blade flat screwdriver.

Chemically clean the flow control or the white flow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. Do not me a wire brush. If necessary, replace the flow control, wring on the flow control retainer, or the 0-ring on the elbow.

Reseat the flow control so the rounded end is visible in the flow control. Reseal the white flow control retainer by pushing the retainer into the elbow until the wring seats. Remove locking clip, push down on elbow to reseat and insert locking clip.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicon lubricant may be used on the n-ring on the elbow or the white retainer.

Water Meter or Meter Plug

The water meter assembly is connected to the PC board by a wire. If the entire water meter assembly is to be replaced, remove the control valve cover and remove the power source and water meter plugs from the PC board. Unlatch the drive assembly and lean it forward. Unthread the water meter wire from the side of the drive assembly and through the drive back plate. To reinstall, rethread the water meter wire through the drive back plate and the side of the drive assembly. Reattach the drive assembly and the water meter and power plugs.

If no water meter wire is visible, then a plug is installed not a water meter.

The water meter wire does not need to be removed from the PC board if the water meter is only being inspected and cleaned. To remove the water meter assembly, unscrew the meter capon the left side of the control valve. Pliers maybe used to unscrew the nut if necessary.

With the nut removed, a slot at the top of the water meter is visible. Twist a flat blade screwdriver in the slot between the control valve body and the meter. When the meter is part way out it is easy to remove the water meter from the housing. Once the water meter is removed from the control valve body, use your fingers to gently pull forward on the turbine to remove it from the shaft.

Do not use a wire brush to clean. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. The turbine can be immersed in the chemical. Do not immerse electronics. If the turbine is scored or damaged or the bearings on the turbine are worn replace the turbine.

Do not lubricate the turbine shaft. The turbine shaft bearings are prelubricated Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on the o-ring. A silicon lubricant may be used on the black 0-ring.

Snap the turbine on the shaft and reinsert the water meter into the side slot. Hand tighten the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nut.

Bypass Valve

The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before working on the rotors, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow shaped handles towards the center of the bypass valve and back to the arrow direction several times to ensure rotor is turning freely.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not uses pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.

To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle Out as one unit. Twisting the unit as you pull it out will help to remove it more easily. There are three 0-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn 0-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.

When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:

1. 0-rings on both rotors face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve when the handle pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows; or

2 Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.

Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled I 80°° from their correct orientation. To install the red arrow handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body while tightening II bypass valve caps.

After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version (e.g. 154) and then reset the valve to the service pdsition.

08.08.14 Kinetico water softener.  We have parts and perform service on this unit.

The above diagrams were taken from Google images; I typed in Kinetico parts diagrams.  Brian Hayden Boyett BS, CWS-VI, CI

08.28.14 We will begin posting Kinetico parts that we recycle.  If you need a Kinetico part we plan to inventory them all.  If you buy your Kinetico parts from our company; the savings will be enormous.

08.29.14 10 AM.  When we have enough Kinetico parts and components in our inventory we will begin providing these Kinetico Water softeners (and eventually Kinetico reverse osmosis units) on a rental basis for $30/mo plus tax.  We will also sell these recycled units.  The recycled units we sell will be ‘like new’.    The price saving will be tremendous.  In my opinion the retail prices of Kinetico units and parts require a large investment of money.  We feel our recycling work with Kinetico parts, tanks and components – including cation resin replacement (resin change out on Kinetico Water Softeners; to change cation resin on Kinetico Water Softeners)  and carbon media replacement (carbon media change out on Kinetico Water Softeners;  to change the carbon media in a Kinetico Water Softener)  will save our Kinetico clients thousands of dollars.  We also feel with our expert technicians we will provide a very exceptional level of service and outstanding and friendly customer service.  Our technicians are very communicative and responsive.

It is my opinion that Kinetico Water Softeners do not have enough cation resin media to effectively soften the hard Arizona water.  We feel the most appropriate resin capacity (used continuously) is 64,000 grains.  As I understand the present Kinetico residential water softeners being offered in this valley are much less than 64,000 grains (using 64,000 grains continuously ‘at the same time’).  Therefore, based upon the flow rates of our pipes and appliances (please see this link for scientific data: http://www.azh2o.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100) and the ability of ‘cation resin’ to soften the water; Kinetico water softeners may not be the most effective solution for our hard Arizona water.  I’m just saying.  However, we will be happy to help you keep your small Kinetico water softeners running.  Kinetico water softeners regenerate constantly and waste much water.  Please ask about our zero water waste whole house water treatment solution (which includes whole house carbon filtration for the entire home).  We will provide you 100% chlorine free water with this water treatment method.

Source: the above two diagrams: ‘gallons – per – minute flow delivered by various pipe sizes at various pressures’ and ‘calculating residential water demand’ ( I found this information in my father’s file (William Brian Boyett ‘during his career he achieved the certification of CWS-V through the WQA.ORG’) titled Kinetico Water Softeners and Water Treatment equipment. He utilized this information when competing against the company known as Kinetico because their resin quantities are much smaller than ours and their units have a lower flow rate. For a single family home, or a business – both of these flaws can be a detriment when providing water treatment to an establishment.

08.08.14 Fleck 5600 (Econominder) Water Softener.  We have all the parts on this unit and are prepared to perform service on this unit.

This has been one of the most dependable valves in our industry.  This is the valve that we utilize on most our residential rental water softeners.

This valve was developed in the 1980’s by a company called Fleck Controls.  Fleck Controls used be called L.W. FLECKENSTEIN, INC. and people would say often they had a “Fleckenstein valve.” They are now called “Fleck Controls” and are owned by Pentair Water, a world conglomerate of water-related companies. Fleck makes a large number of control valves for residential and commercial water softeners and backwashing filters, and have been a world leader in this technology for over 50 years. (this is a extract from a Fleck Controls marketing media).

This is a marketing brochure describing our 5600 valve.

1Manually index the softener control to the In Service position and let water flow into the resin tank. When the water flow stops, open a softened water tap until all air is released from the lines. Then close tap.

NOTE: The various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the knob on the front of the control until the indicator shows that the softener is in the desired position.

2. Set water usage program wheel using anyone of the following procedures: Typical Residential Application

To program, just set the time, set the hardness and it automatically monitors system needs and regenerates only when necessary. To set time of day press red time set button and turn 24-hour gear until present time of day is at “time of day.” Set program wheel by lifting the “people” dial and rotating it so that the number of people in the household is aligned with the household grains per gallon water hardness. Release the dial and check for firm engagement at setting. This method provides reserve capacity based on 75 gallons per person.

– Optional Programming Procedures

Calculate the gallon capacity of the system, subtract the necessary reserve requirement and set the gallons available at the small white dot on program wheel gear. Note, drawing shows 850 gallon setting. The capacity (gallons) arrow denotes remaining gallons exclusive of fixed reserve.

3. Rotate program wheel counterclockwise until it-stops at Regeneration position.
4. Manually index the control to the Backwash position and allow water to flow at the drain for 3 or 4 minutes.
5. Remove back cover plate.
6. Make sure than the salt dosage is set as recommended by the manufacturer. Manually index the control to the Brine Fill position and allow the brine tank to fill to the top of the air check.
7. Manually index the control to the Brine Rinse position and allow the control to draw water from the brine tank until it stops.
8. Plug in the electrical cord and look in the sight hole in the back of the monitor to see that it is running.
9. Manually advance the control to the beginning of the Brine Fill position and allow the control to return to the In Service position automatically.
10. Fill the brine tank with salt.
11. Replace back cover on the control. Be sure cable is not pinched between cover and housing.
12. Make sure that any bypass valving is left in the normal In Service position.

Bypass Valve Assembly, Brass

Here is some information regarding the 5600 bypass valve and components.  We have all the parts and supplies to fix this bypass valve.

 

This is the part called the bypass boot.

This is my finger sticking through the hole.

This hole is caused by age and the chlorine (which the city puts in the water) breaks down the plastic.

There should be no hole.

The degradation of this part will cause the bypass valve to erroneously begin to leak.

If this happens – this may happen to you:

 

 

In our opinion; it is better to be proactive.

This part is inserted in this old 5600 bypass valve:

 

 

We sell the bypass boot for $15.00 plus tax. Please call to confirm we have this in stock.

Our office phone number is (480) 969-7251. Our address is: 38 East 5th Avenue, Mesa AZ 85210

A good idea is to upgrade to this bypass valve. The flow rate is better and it comes with our Boyett’s Family Resin screen ‘world-wide invention’. No other water company offers this feature (The Boyett’s Family Resin screen). This is an image of the new bypass valve ‘with the Boyett’s Family Resin screen’:

 

The screen will help prevent significant plumbing problems and financial loss by protecting your home – if the lower collector breaks.

This new bypass valve is more dependable and has a better flow rate.

Fleck 5600 Valve ( and Rayne RF Series)

This 5600 valve is so dependable we refer to this valve performance as bullet proof.  Because of this dependability we utilize this valve on most of our rental water softeners.

 

This is an image of cation resin beads taken under a microscope.

We recently sent a sample of cation resin (water softener media) to a laboratory for testing purposes.  This is a description of the test performed.

MICROSCOPIC BEAD EXAMINATION:

A sample of the resin is placed under the microscope for determination of the physical integrity of the resin and contamination of the bead.

 

 

#5

08.08.15 Fleck 5000SE.  We have all the parts necessary to rebuild this unit (including the cation resin).  We also carry the turbines (these are prone to fail in Arizona ‘because of the corrosive water’).

09.02.14  A common problem we are finding, on this unit, is that it is not reading the gallons (the gallons do not count down).  This can cause hard water.  The solution; replace the turbine.  These turbines are problematic and need to replaced often.

Another problem we are experiencing with this type unit is error codes.  If you ever receive an error code on this unit please call us (480) 969-7251 or e mail me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will help you develop a solution to this problem.

ProFloSE Downflow brining service manual water softener (fleck 5000SE water softener)

ProFloSE Downflow brining service manual water softener (fleck 5000SE water softener)

General Residential Installation Check List

WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 psi inlet water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively

ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.

EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is built up heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit should be installed ahead of the water softener.

LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN: The softener should be located close to a clean working drain and connected according to local plumbing codes.

BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped with one.

CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 120 p.s.i., water temperature is not to exceed 11000017, and the unit cannot be subjected to freezing conditions.

Valve Installation and Start-up Procedures

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1 Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the tanks are level and on a firm base

2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 1/2″. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20′ require 3/4″ drain line.
3. The 1″ distributor tube (1.050 O.D.) should be cut flush with top of tank.
4. Lubricate the distributor o-ring seal and tank o-ring seal. Place the main control valve on tank. Note: Only use silicone lubricant.

5 Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC) Leave at least 6″

between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the DLFC.

6. Teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain fitting.
7. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level.

8 On units with a by-pass place in by-pass position Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.

9. Place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.
10. Plug unit into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes.
11. Add water to the top of the air check. Manually step the valve to the Brine Draw Position and allow the valve to draw water from the brine tank until it stops. Note: The air check will check at approximately the midpoint of the screened intake area.
12. Next, manually step the valve to the Brine Refill Position and allow the valve to return to Service automatically.
13. With the valve in Service, check that there is about 1.0″ of water above the grid in the brine tank, if used.
14. Fill the brine tank with salt.
15. Set-Up is now finished, the control can now be left to run automatically.

AUTOTROL (LOGICS) DRIVE MOTOR 268/760 PART # 1235361 $40.00 PLUS TAX  (post date 04.21.15 8:36 AM)

07.15.15 8:59 AM

Series 1265 Bypass Valve

Price $45.00 plus tax; new and in stock now.  It is always a great idea to call us (480) 969-7251 and confirm your availability to this part.  Restocking takes two days.

This bypass valve has been famous with our customers.  Many water softeners installed in Arizona (water treatment dealer in Phoenix, AZ;  Buckeye AZ; San Tan Valley, AZ) have this style bypass valve.

 

These are other descriptions of this valve:

1265 Bypass Valve Pentair residential water filtration, Performa 1040930, Autotrol 1265 Bypass Valve Assembly, Noryl Plastic 1040930 263/268   (This bypass valve assembly is compatible with all Autotrol 263, 268, 269, 273, and 278 series), Technetics 1100, part # 1040930.  1040930 – US Water Systems.  bypass for GE & Pentair.

 

Installation and Operation Instructions

Note: When installing, be certain to leave slack in the vertical inlet and outlet lines connected to the bypass valve. The softener must not be supported by the plumbing lines.

Installation

Step 1:

Verify that there is a gasket secured inside of the inlet and outlet union nuts of the bypass. Then, thread the bypass to the valve control body, hand-tightening both union nuts simultaneously. It is not necessary to lubricate or use sealant on the rubber gaskets or union nuts.

Step 2:

Insert tailpieces through union nuts. Attach tailpieces into inlet and outlet piping. Place the rubber gasket into the union nut and thread to bypass valve body. It is not necessary to lubricate or use sealant on rubber gasket or union nuts.

Step 3:

After all plumbing connections have been made, follow the start-up procedure in the owner’s manual for initial set-up.

Operation

To bypass the conditioner with the 1265 bypass valve, rotates the handles clockwise so they are both perpendicular to the flow path of the inlet and outlet water stream, as shown below.

09.02.14  A common problem we are finding on the Fleck 7000 , on this unit, is that it is not reading the gallons (the gallons do not count down).  This can cause hard water.  The solution; replace the turbine.  These turbines are problematic and need to replaced often.

Another problem we are experiencing with this type unit is error codes.  If you ever receive an error code on this unit please call us (480) 969-7251 or e mail me This email address is being protected from spambots.

this is the impeller part which measures the water flow

This impeller part (used) is $5.00 plus tax.

This is the inside area of this impeller.  It is disintegrated because of the use and high chlorine content of our Phoenix metro water.

Because of the high chlorine content of our Phoenix metro water; we are finding that the tipping point on all residential water softener is 5 years.  At this point many of the components are disintegrating and the cation resin material will cause low water pressure and plumbing problems because of cation resin oxidation.  Therefore, many people are finding that our $30/mo plus tax (64,000 grain) rental soft water program is very popular and famous because it is affordable, efficient and dependable.  There is more information about our rental soft water program discussed at this web page: http://www.azh2o.com/rent-a-water-softener-unit

09.22.14

This is the same part in good condition (compare and contrast).  The chlorine in the Phoenix Metro Arizona Water (including Buckey Arizona and Surprise Arizona) is ominous.  Our company has developed convenient and affordable rental water treatment processes to remove this chlorine for you (for your home and business).

08.08.14  This is Tom (our most veteran technician of over 27 years); standing by a Krystal Pure Autotrol water softener.  Many of these units are sold in the Lowe’s Hardware stores.  We have all the parts required to fix these units.  We are very qualified to service all Autotrol water softeners and all GE water softeners.

 

The main ingredient of the water softener is the cation resin material.  We sell this by the cubic foot.

1 cubic feet of cation resin material

$125.00 plus tax

The quality and discription of this material is described on this web page:http://www.azh2o.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100

Because of all the chlorine in our Phoenix metro water; we are finding the tipping point on this cation resin material is 5 years.  We have used scientific method to determine that cation resin material is removing 50% of all chlorine in the Phoenix metro water.  We see this as a great advantage to cation resin.  This fact (cation resin removes 50% of all chlorine ‘the resin manufactures say “it dissipates the chlorine” ‘) gives this cation resin material higher value in Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix, Buckeye, Apache Junction (and all surrounding cities in Phoenix Metro Arizona).   Many people are finding our $30/mo plus tax residential rental water softener program to be of great efficacy and financial benefit.  This process and program is described on this web page: http://www.azh2o.com/rent-a-water-softener-unit

 

This cation resin material is so popular that we purchase this material by the pallet.  We utilize our Bobcat to unload this material and place this in our factory.

 

Will we purchase higher quantities of this cation resin material as time passes (right now we purchase one pallet each month)?  Indubitably.  As we experience the Phoenix metro area of Arizona grow to 7 million people (right now there is 4.33 million people; they say 7 million people will be here within 15 years) we expect this cation resin material to stay famous in our ranks.  We continue to purchase better resin as the chlorine content of our Phoenix metro water increases (this is called crosslinking – discussed on this web page:http://www.azh2o.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100).

#13 H2O Concepts Water Treatment/ Whole House No Salt Device

H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™

slightly used (used for only two months) $200.00 plus tax ‘complete unit’

H2O CONCEPT

We removed this H2O Concepts unit (only 2 months old) from a house. The people whom gave us this unit were not happy with the water treatment performance. They said that this unit does not provide soft water. Therefore, this H2O Concepts water treatment unit does not give you the same benefits that soft water provides. The only way to have soft water is to have a water softener unit that utilizes cation resin as the water cleaning media.  The customer chose for us to install a portable exchange water softener.  They are very happy with with the results of our portable exchange water softener service.  The people who bought this H2O Concepts could not get their money returned (after 2 months).  They informed me that they invested more than $4,000.00 in this product.  By the way, Boyett’s Family return policy is:  if you are not completely satisfied with our rental water treatment program – I will return your installation fee and 3 months of the rental fees.   Indubitably.

We decided to explicate this H2O Concepts water treatment unit. We decided to analyze this unit in great detail and study each individual component.

Our onus is to sell these used H2O Concepts components. When we accumulate enough parts we will rent these units for $30/month plus tax.  We will change these units out every 5 years. The material that is filled in the media tank is called KDF. This material has a tipping point (a point of saturation). We feel this tipping point is 5 years.

Here is an image of the media that we extracted from this H2O Concepts unit.

The main point of this story is this: this material must be changed periodically. How often will this media need to be changed? We will soon provide you a mathematical calculation to determine the number of gallons that can be cleaned by this material and the approximate time period this material will last. I can tell you this – this media will in no way last 10 years. As I understand; the customers who have been sold this product say they have been told 10 years to change this media. NO WAY. This information is apocryphal.  As a rule of thumb – 1 cubic foot of carbon will dechlorinate about 1,000,000 gallons of water.  Figure one person utilizes 70 gallons of water per day (based upon the standard of our water treatment industry).  The H2O Concepts water treatment unit contains about 1 cubic foot of carbon.

posted 10.10.14 5:34 PM

We spoke with a person who is very familiar with the manufacturing of the H2O Concepts unit. They said that only 2-3 pounds of this material is included in this unit.

 

According to this water treatment expert; this amount of quantity (2-3 pounds of KDF) does not perform an effective water treatment function.

 

If KDF material is to be used effectively – a separate tank of KDF media would be filled with1/3 of a cubic foot ( this equals 57 pounds). In its own vessel (PUT IN to a 8” to 9” tank)   the KDF will be proper back washed.

 

Why does this company even bother placing 2-3 pounds of KDF in the tank? Good question. The word hyperbole comes to my mind.

 

When we removed the KDF material from the H2O Concepts unit; it was in the configurations of clumps. Clumps of KDF will serve no purpose. The reason that the KDF (that we removed) clumped up – it needs to be placed in a separate vessel and back washed separately. This material has to be back washed at such a high rate that the noise makes this process non feasible (because of the noise created when the material is back-washing).

 

The purpose of KDF is:

 

Removal of heavy metals and removal of chlorine.

 

However, if there is not enough material to begin – this process becomes apocryphal.

 

When we removed this material from the H2O Concepts it was in clumps and likely completely ineffective.

 

Based upon technical information I read on the web page of H2O Concepts they indicated that their electrical technology changes the calcium bi carbonate to carbonate. As I understand from other water treatment professionals – this is the antithesis of the desired result. Good water treatment process will change calcium carbonate to bicarbonate. Calcium bicarbonate is less likely to adhere to the fixtures.

 

As an alternative to this H2O Concept; we feel that we have a more effective green water treatment approach with our Filtersorb SP3. This is a non-salt unit; it does not utilize any electricity.

If you own H2O Concept water treatment equipment we can help you maintain this unit. The carbon media (included in the tall cylindrical tank) should be changed every five years and the valve rebuilt. In the future we will add the prices for these parts and service here. The valve that H2O Concept utilizes is a Fleck 5600 water softener valve. This is a very ordinary valve and we carry all the parts and can provide the service to these H2O Concept water treatment units.  All the components on these units are familiar to us. H2O Concepts is said to utilize an AMP Force™ to facilitate a portion of the water treatment process. We plan to collect the (used/recycled) electronic components and stock these for your convenience.

In the H2O Concepts Technology description they refer to: “H2o Concepts whole house water filtration systems plus AMP Force™ uses proven media filtration with energy to address your hard water problem(s).”

The media they utilize
KDF

Carbon

Coconut Shell GAC (Granular Activated Carbon)

Quartz

None of these media (which are added to the H2o Concepts whole house water filtration systems (and comprise the H2o Concepts Technology) will remove hardness (calcium and magnesium ions)).

The other part of their H2o Concepts Technology is an energy technology in which they refer to as this: AMP Force™.

Here is a comment about this AMP Force ™ by a respected water treatment expert in Arizona:

Scaling in water is a natural reaction between calcium or magnesium and sulfates or carbonates in the water. The reaction is driven by the chemistry of molecules combining to form a lower energy state substance. This is a natural process of nature in which substances combine to go to a lower energy state. An example would be calcium (CA+2) + sulfate (SO4 -2)  = CaSO4, Calcium Sulfate. Calcium Sulfate is a major component of water scaling. It is insoluble in water and will leave an undesirable residue in the piping that will eventually weaken its structure.  I am not aware of any energy or force capable of reversing this process with the exception of an extremely high energy electrical current that would be very dangerous. In my 30 years of experience in the water purification industry, I have never observed a process that would economically reverse this natural process.

On the other hand, conventional water softening, which is 100 years old, accomplishes water scale reduction by exchanging the calcium and magnesium for sodium (NA+1) by means of a charged resin bead. The resulting substance, NaSO4, is very soluble in water and will leave a very small amount of residue in the piping. I believe, after 30 years in the business, that conventional water softening is still the only viable process to reduce water scaling.

A paraphrase ‘if I may be so bold’: he is saying there is no way that AMP Force ™ can accomplish what H2o Concepts Technology is promising. H2o Concepts Technology is not scientifically accurate. This is the end of my paraphrase.

I just learned from one of our customers (#192021) that H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™; one of their salesmen is disseminating false information regarding salt. This H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™ salesman told our customer that salt is bad for her skin.

Here is some information that dispels that notion.

In a book

 

Called Solve it with salt ; I found some interesting facts about salt and skin.

According to this book; salt does a fine job caring for athlete’s foot. It says:

Athlete’s foot is caused by fungi and yeast and persists in warm, moist environments. Wearing natural cotton socks helps prevent the fungus from growing, but other measures usually must be taken to get rid of the problem. Add a handful of salt to a footbath filled with warm water and mix well. This helps kill fungus and, in addition, softens the skin so that antifungal medication can penetrate better.

According to this book; salt does a fine job providing sore feet relief. It says:

At the end of a hard day there’s nothing quite like a nice warm footbath to soothe and refresh a tired pair of feet. You can create your own inexpensive spa bath for the feet by using a handful of ordinary table salt tossed into a small basin of water heated to your own level of comfort. It’s much more revitalizing than a plain basin of warm water and will do wonders for your aching feet.

According to this book; salt does a fine job providing relief for rough and chapped skin. It says:

Ordinary table salt can be used to create your own customized skin relief cream. To soften rough skin in such problem spots as feet, knees, and … (continued at the top of the page below) Elbows, combine ¼ cup salt, ¼ cup Epson salts, and ¼ cup vegetable oil, and massage the resulting paste into the dry skin for several minutes. After the cream has refreshed your skin it can be removed by bathing or showering.

According to this book; salt does a fine job removing dry skin. It says:

Salt can act as an abrasive to help remove dry and flaky skin. After bathing and while still wet, give yourself a massage with dry salt on a sponge, washcloth, or pumice stone. It removes dead skin particles, exposing the more radiant skin underneath, and it also aids the circulation.

 

According to this book; salt can be beneficial when applying a facial. It says:

 

Salt can be used to create an excellent revitalizing mixture to give yourself a home facial. First wash your face and apply warm, wet towels to the skin. Then apply a mixed solution of equal parts salt and olive oil, and gently massage the face and throat with long upward and inward strokes. Remove the mixture after 5 minutes and then rinse the face and apply your favorite face lotion.

The above image describes the importance and relevance salt has played in the development of our civilization. The first paragraph says “wars were fought over salt, and huge taxes were also levied on it. In some places, salt was in such high demand that it was minted into coins that were as valuable as gold and functioned as the basic currency for ancient civilizations.”

I humbly present to you that the owners and managers and sales people and the sales trainers (of H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™) are not privileged to have access to this information. I can only wish that these people are not myopic and insular in their thinking. I hope these people appreciate the importance salt has played in the development of our great civilization and continue to appreciate salt for our health, happiness and wellness.  However, I fear that the people of H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™ are misleading many people in Arizona. We have had many indications that the people of H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™; their intentions are not pure. They seem to misrepresent the soft water business; and our use of salt. The people of H2O Concept water treatment equipment with H2o Concepts Technology – AMP Force ™ call salt harmful and bad. However, salt is still of great value for health and preservation. We wish to reach out to these people and help them correct their course.  There may still be time; we keep hoping.

This is a by pass stem for a Culligan bypass valve. Most Culligan water softeners include a bypass valve. However, I responded to an emergency Culligan water softener leak last night (the water was running to the drain) and there was no bypass valve. The customer had to turn the water off to their house.  This customer decided to rent a water softener from our company ($75 one time connection fee and $30/mo plus tax).  We will indubitably include a bypass valve.  We will also include our Boyett’s Family resin screen.

$10.00 plus tax – for used (recycled) Culligan water softener bypass stem.  These are also used on Culligan rental water softeners.

In the future we plan to add used Culligan parts to our water softener parts inventory in hopes we can adopt orphans who need our Culligan water softener service and parts. We are always happy to answer any questions you have over the phone about all Culligan water softeners and Culligan reverse osmosis units.

TROUBLESHOOTING continued Valve Disc Operation

When the Premier control is lifted up (Figure 22 Control Removed) and the cover is removed, the flappers and camshaft are visible (Figure 23 Valve Layout).

Premier Model AF-40K Water Softening System.  This unit is purchased at Cost Co (Cost Co Water Softener). This is a small capacity Cost Co water softener (this water softener contains only 40,000 grains of cation resin media) .  Will this Cost Co water softener effectively soften the water in Arizona for a single family home?  No.  Why?  Because it does not contain 64,000 grains of capacity (of cation resin).  64,000 grains of cation resin is the minimum capacity in order to effectively soften the water for a clothes washing machine.  We are members of Cost Co (we have been loyal members for many years).  We purchased this water softener so we can be ready to help you when you need service.  We have experience connecting this unit and we have explicated the inner working parts.  We don’t think this unit is efficient and we have concerns about the operating parameters  (based upon the limited capacity ‘it contains only 40,000 grains of cation resin’ – it will not effectively soften the water for a clothes washer).  However, we wish to adopt orphans who need service on this unit.

 

The purpose of this picture story is to show you the process that our company has developed to rebuild your water softener.

Our technician arrives at your home.

This is Brett; he has worked in our firm for at least 13 years.

The next step is; we explain to our customers in great detail the processes in which we will be performing on their home.

This is Brett explaining to Suzanne the work he will perform on her water softener.  Brett will be removing the water softener from her home and bringing her unit to our factory for a complete rebuild.  Brett explains to Suzanne the next step he will perform is to turn off the water to her home, but before turning off the water he will check the water pressure in her home.

Brett is checking the water pressure in Suzanne’s home. We always inform our clients to keep their water pressure regulated to 70 PSI or less.

Brett turning off the water to Suzanne’s home.

Brett removes the water softener from Suzanne’s home to bring back to our office for a complete rebuild.

We also bring the brine tank into our office to clean it.

This is Troy and Sabatian emptying the cation resin into our work area.

This is how this area looks when it is completely clean.

This is Sabastian painting this area on 031715 8:51 AM.  We like to keep our work areas clean and sanitary.

This is Troy Phillips (our service manager) inspecting the cation resin.  We have made this a scientific experiment since February 18, 2010.

Because the water treatment plants add so much chlorine to the water; the cation resin is lasting only 5 years in the Phoenix metro area.  In order to sustain great soft water; some action must be taken to change the resin every five years.  Our onus is to become valley leaders ‘keeping the cation resin sustainable’ in your water softener.

This is Fancisco adding 8% cross linked resin into your resin tank.  We purchase the best components to add to your water softener.  Here is a link which we explicate and describe the cation resin we utilize in our water softener rebuilding process: http://wp.azh2o.com/faq/

Francisco removes all the o rings, inductors, injectors, seals, piston and motor and he puts new components into your water softener valve.  We call this rebuilding your water softener valve.  There are as many as 20 different sized o rings in each valve.  All of these components are exposed to the chlorine.  The chlorine disintegrates these component parts.

When this water softener rebuilding process is complete, and the unit passes our quality standards, we return the water softener to Suzanne’s home.

And reconnect this unit.

When we return the water softener we always deliver two bags of salt.

Brett is explaining to Suzanne the service we performed on her rebuilt water softener and her responsibilities to maintain this water softener.

We can rebuild your water softener.  Please call our office for details (480) 969-7251 or e-mail me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  If you would like parts and information to perform this rebuild process – we are glad to help.

Our industry refers to this unit configuration as a tank in tank unit.   In Arizona the salt can stick to the resin tank.  We call this problem a ‘salt bridge’.  Salt bridges are very inconvenient.

 

Specifications & Performance Claims

These models are efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum salt dose and rated service flow. These softeners have a demand initiated regeneration (D.l.R.) feature that complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation.

These softeners have a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than their listed rating or be operated at a sustained maximum service flow rate greater than their listed rating. These softeners have been proven to deliver soft water for at least ten continuous minutes at the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the rated efficiency, due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce a softener’s capacity.

Water Conditioning Information

IRON

Iron in water can cause stains on clothing and plumbing fixtures. It can negatively affect the taste of food, drinking water, and other beverages. Iron in water is measured in parts per million (ppm). The total* ppm of iron, and type or types*, is determined by chemical analysis. Four different types of iron in water are:

• Ferrous (clear water) iron
• Ferric (red water) iron
• Bacterial and organically bound iron
• Colloidal and inorganically bound iron (ferrous or ferric)

Ferrous (clear water) iron is soluble and dissolves in water. This water softener will reduce moderate amounts of this type of iron (see specifications).** Ferrous (clear water) iron is usually detected by taking a sample of water in a clear bottle or glass. Immediately after taking, the sample is clear. As the water sample stands, it gradually clouds and turns slightly yellow or brown as air oxidizes the iron. This usually occurs in 15 to 30 minutes.

When using the softener to reduce Ferrous (clear water) iron, add 5 grains to the hardness setting for every I ppm of Ferrous (clear water) iron. See “Set Water Hardness Number” section.

Ferric (red water), and bacterial and organically bound irons are insoluble. This water softener will not remove ferric or bacterial iron. This iron is visible

immediately when drawn from a faucet because it has oxidized before reaching the home. It appears as small cloudy yellow, orange, or reddish suspended particles. After the water stands for a period of time, the particles settle to the bottom of the container. Generally these irons are removed from water by filtration. Chlorination is also recommended for bacterial iron.

Colloidal and inorganically bound iron is of ferric or ferrous form that will not filter or exchange out of water. This water softener will not remove colloidal iron. In some instances, treatment may improve colloidal iron water. Colloidal iron water usually has a yellow appearance when drawn. After standing for several hours, the color persists and the iron does not settle, but remains suspended in the water.

SEDIMENT

Sediment is fine, foreign material particles suspended in water. This water softener will not remove sediment. This material is most often clay or silt. Extreme amounts of sediment may give the water a cloudy appearance. A sediment filter installed upstream of the water softener normally corrects this situation.

* Water may contain one or more of the four types of iron and any combination of these. Total iron is the sum of the contents.

** Capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by WQA test data.

Programming the Water Softener

Words in picture: SET SALT LEVEL, Display, UP button, TANK LIGht button, STATUS LIGHT (see below), RECHARGE button, DOWN button, PROGRAM button, STATUS LIGHT, PROGRAM THE SOFTENER  fig 15

When the water softener is connected to electrical power, the status light on the control panel will operate as follows:

• Light flashing slowly, along with the salt level indicators in the display – The salt monitor system indicates a low salt level and needs to be set See “Set Salt Level” on Page 14.
• Light flashing slowly, along with the words “SCHEDULED CLEAN” in the display – Four months have elapsed on the system’s timer since start up or the last reset. This is a reminder to use Whirlpool® WHE-WSC Water Softener Cleanser three times a year. To reset the timer, press any button on the control panel and the flashing words will disappear. The status light will stop flashing, unless the system is also low on salt (see above).
• Light flashing rapidly, with “CURRENT TIME” shown in the display and the clock flashing slowly – The present time needs to be set, either during initial start up or after a long power outage. See “Set Time of Day”, at right.
• Light flashing rapidly, with “Err” shown in the display – The electronic self-diagnostics have detected a problem. See “Troubleshooting” on Page 18.
• Light on steady (not flashing) – The system has power applied and does not require any attention.

When the power supply is plugged into the electrical outlet, the model code (“LL40” for Model WHES40 or “LL44” for Model WHES44) and a test number (example: J3.0), are briefly shown in the display. Then the words “CURRENT TIME” appear and 12:00 PM begins to flash.

SET TIME OF DAY

If the words “CURRENT TIME” do not show in the

display, press the PROGRAM button until they do.

1. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the present time. Up moves the display ahead; down sets the time back. Be sure AM or PM is correct.

NOTE: Press buttons and quickly release to slowly advance the display. Hold the buttons down for fast advance.

 

Programming the Water Softener

SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display a flashing “25” and the word “HARDNESS”.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set your water’s hardness number.

NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness number. For example, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each I ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 30 for your hardness number.

20 gpg hardness

2ppm iron x 5 =  + I0

30 HARDNESS NUMBER

SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display

a flashing “2:00AM” and the words “RECHARGE

TIME”. This is a good time for the recharge to start

in most households, because water is not in use.

2. If you want to change the recharge start time, press the UP or DOWN buttons until the desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct.

SET SALT TYPE

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display a flashing “nACL”.

Salt Type allows you to choose between sodium chloride (NaCI), which is regular softener salt, or potassium chloride (KCI), which is an alternative to sodium chloride. KCI (potassium chloride) may be used if the user of the water softener is on a sodium restricted diet and is concerned about the amount of sodium in the water supply.

KCI should be used in accordance with the following steps to help give you years of maintenance free service.

Place only one bag at a time of KCI into your softener (the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60 pounds of KCI at any one time).

NOTE: A softener using KCI should not be located in areas with high temperature changes or high humidity (KCI may harden in these environments and make the softener inoperable).

2. Check the brine tank and brinewell (black tube in salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present, pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas until they loosen.
3. Be sure to set the correct salt type, depending on which type of salt is used (Na Cl or KCI). Use the UP or DOWN buttons to toggle between NaCl and KCI, then press the PROGRAM button to enter the selection.
4. Press the PROGRAM button once again to return to normal operating display.

START A RECHARGE

1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three seconds, until “RECHARGE” begins to flash in the display, starting a recharge. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach into and through the water softener. Any air remaining in the water softener is purged to the drain. During this time, periodically check for leaks.

NOTE: As with all other water system applications, leaks may occur. Leaks may not be immediately apparent. Recheck for leaks 24 hours after first recharge cycle is complete.

 

Customizing Features / Options

RECHARGE

The RECHARGE button is used to initiate an immediate recharge.

1. Press and hold the RECHARGE button until the words “RECHARGE”, “SERVICE” and “FILL” flash

in the display.

Recharge initiated

The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right away. “RECHARGE” will flash during the regeneration. When completed, full water conditioning capacity is restored. While water softener is running a recharge, the time remaining until the recharge is completed will show in the display during all cycles except for the Fill cycle.

NOTE: Avoid using hot water while the softener is regenerating, because the water heater will refill with bypass hard water.

RECHARGE SCHEDULED

If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but would like to schedule an extra recharge at the next preset recharge time, do the following:

1. Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE button.

RECHARGE scheduled

The words “RECHARGE SCHEDULED” flash in the display, and the softener will recharge at the next recharge time. The word “RECHARGE” will flash during the regeneration. When completed, full water conditioning capacity is restored.

 

SET SALT LEVEL

The water softener has a salt monitor indicator light to

remind you to add salt to the storage tank.

NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added

to the water softener.

To set this monitor system:

 

1. Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank.
2. The salt level scale, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8. Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or closest to.
3. Press the SET SALT LEVEL button until black ovals correspond to the salt level number (See Figure 22). At level 2 or below, the “Check Salt Level” LED indicator will flash.

If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the SET SALT LEVEL button until “SALT LEVEL OFF” shows in the display

TANK LIGHT

The water softener is equipped with a tank light for viewing the salt level in the brine tank. Push the tank light button on the electronic control once, and the tank light will turn on. Pushing the tank light button again will turn the light off. The tank light will automatically turn off after a period of 15 minutes if the tank light button is not used to turn it off.

 

Customizing Features I Options

POWER OUTAGE MEMORY

If electrical power to the water softener is lost, “memory” built into the timer circuitry will keep all settings for several hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the water softener will not regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur:

Reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener operates as it should to keep your water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of day.

NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

WATER FLOW INDICATOR

Whenever the softener has water flowing from the outlet port, the display will show water droplets scrolling down the right hand side of the screen (See Figure 24). The faster the water flow, the faster the droplets will flash.

SALT EFFICIENCY

When this feature is ON, the water softener will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of salt or higher (May recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water). The softener is shipped with this feature set OFF.

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the screen in Figure 25 is displayed. Once in this display, press the PROGRAM button once and one of the two displays in Figure 26 is shown.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set ON or OFF. When set to ON, the efficiency icon will be displayed in the lower left hand corner of the normal run display.
3. Press the PROGRAM button five times to return to the normal run display.

09.23.15 1:40 PM

CLEAN FEATURE MINUTES

The Clean I Clear Water Iron Reduction feature (described above) may be adjusted, from I to 15 minutes in length. To change this cycle time, use the UP button to increase the time, or the DOWN button to shorten the time. The default value for this feature is 2 minutes.

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button. Once in 000 is in the display, press the PROGRAM button three times and the display will show 2.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the number of minutes.
3. Press the PROGRAM button three times to return to the normal run display.

MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS

The water softener automatically controls regeneration frequency. This provides the greatest operating efficiency and, under most conditions, this feature should be left in this automatic mode. However, you may modify this feature if you want to force a regeneration every set number of days. For example, if your water supply contains clear water iron, you may want the softener to regenerate every few days to keep the resin bed clean. The maximum days between recharges may be set from I to 15 days, as follows:

NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if needed, even if it is before the set number of days.

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the

screen displays 000 . Once in this dis-

play, press the PROGRAM button four times and

the display will show —- .

 

2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the number of days.
3. Press the PROGRAM button two times to return to the normal time of day screen.

12 OR 24 HOUR CLOCK

All time displays are shown in standard clock time (AM and PM) at the 12 hour default setting. If 24 hour clock displays are desired, follow steps below:

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the screen displays 000. Once in this display, press the PROGRAM button five times and one of the these two figures will appear 12hr or 24hr.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the time format.
3. Press the PROGRAM button once again, to return to the normal time of day screen.

 

Routine Maintenance

ADDING SALT

Lift the salt lid and check the salt storage level frequently. If the water softener uses all the salt before you refill it, you will experience hard water. Until you have established a refilling routine, check the salt every two or three weeks. Always add if less than 1/4 full. Be sure the brinewell cover is on.

NOTE: If using potassium chloride (KCl), do not fill

above level 4 on the brinewell scale.

NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt storage level lower, and to refill more often to avoid salt “bridging”.

Recommended Salt: Nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities.

Salt Not Recommended: Rock salt, high in impurities, block, granulated, table, ice melting, ice cream making salts, etc.

BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes, a hard crust or salt “bridge” forms in the brine tank. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt “bridges,” an empty space forms between the water and the salt. Then, salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed is not recharged and hard water will result.

If the storage tank is full of salt, it is difficult to tell if you have a salt bridge. A bridge may be underneath loose salt. Take a broom handle, or like tool, and hold it next to the water softener. Measure the distance from the floor to the rim of the water softener. Then, gently push the broom handle straight down into the salt If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark is even with the top, it is most likely a salt bridge. Gently push into the bridge in several places to break it. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects as you may puncture the brine tank. Do not try to break the salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank.  You may damage the tank.

Words in the picture: Push Tool into; Salt Bridge to; Break; Pencil Mark; Broom Handle

 

CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle & venturi (See Figure 33) is a necessity for the water softener to work properly. This small component creates the suction to move brine from the brine tank, into the resin tank. If it should become plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the water softener will not work, and hard water will result.

Words in picture: 0-ring Seal; Screen Support; Screen; Nozzle & Venturi Disc; Plug; Gasket; Cone Screen; Flow Plug (HVDC) ;Housing; Ferrule

*Install with lettered side up, concave Nut side down.

IMPORTANT: Be sure small hole in the gasket is centered directly over the small hole in the nozzle & venturi housing. Be sure the numbers are facing up

 

To get access to the nozzle & venturi, remove the water softener’s top cover. Put the bypass valve(s) into the bypass position. Be sure the water softener is in soft water (service) cycle (no water pressure at nozzle & venturi). Then, holding the nozzle & venturi housing with one hand, unscrew the cap. Do not lose the 0-ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen. Then, remove the nozzle & venturi disc, gasket and flow plug(s). Wash the parts in warm, soapy water and rinse in fresh water. Be sure to clean both the top and bottom of the nozzle & venturi disc. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Do not scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces of the nozzle & venturi.

Gently replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the 0-ring seal with silicone grease and locate in place. Install and tighten the cap by hand, while supporting the housing. Overtightening may break the cap or housing. Put the bypass valve(s) into service (soft water) position.

Recharge the softener to reduce water level in the tank. This will also assure that the softener is completely recharged and ready to provide softened water again. Check the water level in the tank by looking down the brinewell. If the water level does not drop after a recharge, the problem has not been resolved. Call 1-(480) 969-7251, Monday – Friday, 8 am to 5 PM Mountain Time.

Troubleshooting

AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS

This water softener has a self-diagnostic function for the electrical system (except input power and/or water meter). The water softener monitors electronic components and circuits for correct operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code appears in the display.

Err I

While an error code appears in the display, all buttons are inoperable except the PROGRAM button. PROGRAM remains operational so the service person can perform the Manual Advance Diagnostics, see below, to further isolate the problem.

Procedure for removing error code from display:

1. Unplug power supply from electrical outlet.
2. Correct problem.
3. Plug power supply back in.
4. Wait 8 minutes. The error code will return if the problem was not corrected.

MANUAL ADVANCE DIAGNOSTICS

Use the following procedures to advance the water softener through the regeneration cycles to check operation.

Lift off the salt lid, remove the top cover by unlocking the tabs in the back and rocking forward, to observe cam and switch operation during valve rotation.

1. Press and hold PROGRAM for 3 seconds until “000” shows in the display, then release.
2. The 3 digits indicate water meter operation as follows:

000 (steady) = Soft water not in use, and no flow

through the meter.

Open a nearby soft water faucet.

000 to 140 (continual) = Repeats for each gallon of water passing through the meter.

3. Symbols in the display indicate POSITION switch operation

Switch is open  (Cam not rotating)                    Switch is closed             (Cam rotating)

 

4. Use the RECHARGE button to manually advance the valve into each cycle and check correct switch operation.

NOTE: Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge (See “Breaking A Salt Bridge” section).

5. While in this diagnostic screen, the following information is available and may be beneficial for various reasons. This information is retained by the computer from the first time electrical power is applied to the electronic controller.
6. Press the UP button to display the number of days this electronic control has had electrical power applied.
7. Press the DOWN button to display the number of regenerations initiated by this electronic control since the code number was entered.
8. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the model code (“LL40” for Model WHES40 or “LL44” for Model WHES44) shows in the display. This code identifies the softener model. If an incorrect model code is displayed, the softener will operate on incorrect configuration data.
9. To change the code number, press the UP or V DOWN button until the correct code shows.
10. To return to the present time display, press the PROGRAM button.

 

Troubleshooting

RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULTS

To reset the electronic controller to its factory default for all settings (time, hardness, etc.):

1. Press the PROGRAM button and hold it until the display changes twice to show the flashing model code.
2. Press the UP button (a few times, if necessary) to display a flashing “SoS”.

3. Press the PROGRAM button, and the electronic controller will restart.
4. Set the present time, hardness, etc., as described

MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK

This check verifies proper operation of the valve motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow rates, and other controller functions. Always make the initial checks, and the manual initiated diagnostics.

NOTE: The electronic control display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an error code shows, first press the PROGRAM button to enter the diagnostic display.

1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE begins to flash as the softener’s valve advances from the service to fill position. Remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank.

If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.

2. After observing fill, press the RECHARGE button to move the softener’s valve into the brine position. A slow flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw from the brine tank by shining a flashlight into the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the liquid level. This may take 15 to 20 minutes.

 

 

 

NOTE: Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge (See “Breaking A Salt Bridge” section).

If the water softener does not draw brine, check for (most likely to least likely):

• Dirty or plugged nozzle and venturi, see “Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi” section.
• Nozzle and venturi not seated on the gasket, or gasket deformed.
• Valve seals leaking (See Troubleshooting).
• Restriction in valve drain, causing a back-pressure (bends, kinks, elevated too high, etc.). See “Install Valve Drain Hose” section.
• Obstruction in brine valve or brine tubing.

NOTE: If water system pressure is low, a too-long or elevated drain hose may cause back pressure, stopping brine draw. Avoid drain hose runs longer than 30 feet. Avoid elevating the hose more than 8 feet above the floor.

3. Press the RECHARGE button to move the softener’s valve into the backwash position. Look for a fast flow of water from the drain hose. Check that the drain can adequately handle the flow and volume.

An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.

4. Press the RECHARGE button to move the softener’s valve into the fast rinse position. Again look for a fast drain flow. Allow the softener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out any brine that may remain in the resin tank from the brining cycle test.
5. To return the softener’s valve to the service position, press the RECHARGE button.

Programming the Central Water Filtration System

Words in picture: Display;UP button; Central Water Filtration System; DOWN button; CLEAN button; PROGRAM button

When the power supply is plugged into the electrical outlet, a model code and a test number (example: J2.0), begin to flash in the faceplate display. Then, 12:00 PM and the words “PRESENT TIME” begin to flash.

NOTE: If “- – – -” shows in the display, press the UP or  DOWN button until the model code “CF 8” shows in the display. Then, press the PROGRAM button to set, and change to the flashing “PRESENT TIME” display.   Whole house water filtration is available in the areas of  Tempe, AZ, Chandler, AZ San Tan Valley, AZ Ahwatukee, AZ Phoenix, AZ Fountain Hills, AZ  Cave Creek, AZ  Scottsdale, AZ.

 

SET TIME OF DAY

If the words “PRESENT TIME” do not show in the display, press the PROGRAM button until they do.

1. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the present time. Up moves the display ahead; down sets the time back. Be sure AM or PM is correct.

NOTE: Press buttons and quickly release to slowly advance the display. Hold the buttons down for fast advance.

2. Press the PROGRAM button a few times, until the

time appears on the display, but is not flashing.

Customizing Features I Options

START A CLEAN RINSE CYCLE

To manually start a Clean Rinse cycle, press and hold the CLEAN button for a few seconds, until “RECHARGE NOW” flashes in the display.

SET NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN CLEAN RINSE CYCLES

By default the Central Water Filtration System will automatically initiate a Clean Rinse every 14 days. This should be sufficient for most applications.

To change the number of days between Clean Rinse cycles:

1. Press the PROGRAM button twice, so “RECHARGE” is shown in the display.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the number of days between Clean Rinse cycles (from I to 99).
3. Press the PROGRAM button twice when complete.

SET CLEAN RINSE TIME

By default the Central Water Filtration System will Clean Rinse at 1:00 a.m.

To change the Clean Rinse start time:

1. Press the PROGRAM button three times, so “RECHARGE TIME” is shown in the display.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the Clean Rinse time. Be sure AM or PM is correct.
3. Press the PROGRAM button again when complete.

SET LENGTH OF CLEAN RINSE

By default the Central Water Filtration System’s Clean Rinse cycle will consist of a 2 minute backwash followed by a 1 minute fast rinse. This should be sufficient for most applications.

Increasing the length of Clean Rinse time will increase the amount of water flushed to drain during each Clean Rinse cycle, therefore, these times should only be increased when necessary.

To change the length of the backwash part of the Clean Rinse cycle:

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button for a few seconds, until the “000” screen appears,

 

2. Press the PROGRAM button once, so “bA TIME” appears in the display.
3. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the length of backwash in minutes.
4. Press the PROGRAM button twice when complete.

To change the length of the fast rinse part of the Clean Rinse cycle:

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button for a few seconds, until the “000–” screen appears.
2. Press the PROGRAM button twice, so “Fr TIME” appears in the display.

 

 

3. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the length of fast rinse in minutes.
4. Press the PROGRAM button again when complete.

 

Customizing Features I Options

OPERATING IN MANUAL CLEAN RINSE MODE

Clean Rinse cycles will run automatically, unless the automatic Clean Rinse function has been disabled. If this function has been disabled, it will be necessary to manually initiate any Clean Rinse cycles. It is recommended that a Clean Rinse cycle should be run at least once each month, or more frequently if necessary.

A manual Clean Rinse mode may be used when a drain (required for automatic Clean Rinse) is not available. However, it is recommended that automatic Clean Rinse be used if the drain requirements can be met

IMPORTANT: During the Clean Rinse cycle, whether manually or automatically initiated, water will flow from the valve drain port. If a permanent drain line has not been installed, provisions must be made for the drain flow prior to initiating a Clean Rinse cycle.

DISABLING AUTOMATIC CLEAN RINSE

To disable the automatic Clean Rinse function:

1. Press and immediately release the CLEAN button (pressing and holding the button a few seconds would initiate a Clean Rinse cycle).
2. “VAC” should flash in the display, indicating that the Central Water Filtration System is in the manual Clean Rinse mode (the automatic Clean Rinse function has been disabled).

 

MANUALLY STARTING A CLEAN RINSE CYCLE To manually start a Clean Rinse cycle:

1. Press and hold the CLEAN button for a few seconds, until “RECHARGE NOW” flashes in the display.
2. When the Clean Rinse cycle is complete, the Central Water Filtration System will remain in the manual Clean Rinse mode.

RE-ENABLING AUTOMATIC CLEAN RINSE

To return the Central Water Filtration System to its automatic Clean Rinse function:

1. Press and immediately release the CLEAN button.
2. The flashing “VAC” on the display should be replaced by the normal time of day screen.

 

POWER OUTAGE MEMORY

If electrical power to the Central Water Filtration System is lost, “memory” built into the controller circuitry will keep all settings for several hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the Central Water Filtration System will not Clean Rinse.

When electrical power is restored, you have to reset the time of day only if the display is flashing. The Clean Rinse TIME never requires resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the Central Water Filtration System works as it should to keep your water treated. However, Clean Rinse cycles may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of day.

NOTE: If the Central Water Filtration System was in a Clean Rinse cycle when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
