____________________________________________________________________________________ NOTES ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Soft Water Basics Hardness Hardness in water is the amount of calcium and magnesium present. A water softener removes the majority of calcium and magnesium to produce softened water. Hardness is measured in units of grains per gallon. When your water is tested the hardness is calculated and expressed as grains per gallon (gpg). This calculation, as well as the number of people in your household will help determine what type and size of water softener will most efficiently soften your water. Your water softener contains an ion exchange media (sometimes called resin) which removes the hardness from water as it flows through the softener tank. Eventually so much hardness collects on the exchange media that the softener can no longer soften water. At this point it is considered "exhausted". Regeneration is now necessary. Regeneration When ion exchange resin is saturated with calcium and magnesium (hard water ions) it must be recharged. This is accomplished by rinsing the resin with a salt solution. The salt solution removes the hardness and replaces it with sodium. The exchange media is then ready to remove hardness from water. The hardness minerals and excess brine solution are rinsed down the drain. During the regeneration cycle the softener is also backwashed. This reversing of the normal flow of water serves to remove sediment which may have accumulated during the softening process due to the filtering action of the exchange media. Backwashing also loosens and fluffs up the bed of exchange media to insure that during regeneration the brine solution will come into contact with all the ion exchange media. Figure 1 Maintenance of Your Softener Salt: Salt to a softener is what gasoline is to a car. Not only must a softener have salt, but it should be the proper type to insure efficient recharging of the unit. Ask your dealer what type of salt may best suit your needs. Always have an adequate supply of salt on hand. Check the salt level of your brine tank every couple of weeks initially to determine how much salt you use - this will depend on how much water you use. As a rule of thumb, with 20 gpg hard water, about a 1/2 lb. of salt per person per day is used. In other words, a family of four uses 60 lbs. of salt a month. If your household does not use much water, do not fill your brine tank over 1/2 full, salt bridging may occur in the brine tank. This may result in hard water due to ineffective regeneration. Fill the tank approximately three-fourths full, with a minimum of 12” of salt. DO NOT USE block salt when the H-125 control is programmed with a brine tank prefill. Block salt does not dissolve quick enough to provide a good regeneration. Cleaning Brine Tank: Salt tank may require periodic cleaning. Inspect the brine tank at least once a year for buildup of insoluble materials. It is recommended to periodically clean the brine tank no matter what kind of salt you are using. See page 15, Miscellaneous #2 for details on cleaning. REMEMBER: Salt is the fuel to run your water softener. Buy the best clean salt available. OPERATING CONDITIONS Your water conditioner has been designed to adequately handle up to 100 grains per gallon of hardness that might be encountered as well as up to 2 ppm of Ferrous Bicarbonate Iron. This is iron that is dissolved in an oxygen-free water supply. It is not visible to the eye in a freshly drawn sample because the water appears clear. But upon standing in contact with air, the ferrous iron will become oxidized to the ferric state and start to precipitate as a reddish brown floc. It can then be seen and if allowed to remain in the supply will cause discolored water. In order for your conditioner to remove the iron, air (oxygen) must 4 be kept from coming in contact with water until after it has been passed through the water conditioner. In some cases, additional equipment may be required to treat water supplies having special characteristics, such as: ferric hydroxide iron, iron bacteria, low pH, taste and odors, etc. If any question should exist, contact your dealer. This water softener is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after treatment. Pre-Installation Check List (All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes) Water Pressure: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure (psi) is required for regeneration. Maximum 125 psi. Water Quality: On rural water supplies there is often a problem with sand or sediment in the water. (This problem occasionally occurs in public water supplies.) If the water is not filtered before being softened, the sand and sediment will plug up the water softener restricting the flow through the resin bed. This problem often requires rebedding of the mineral tank. Note: Well and/ or pump problems affecting the operation of the softener are repairs that are not covered under warranty. To prevent these unnecessary, and expensive repairs not covered under warranty, we recommend the installation of an in-line filter system ahead of the softener. Electrical: A continuous 110 volt, 60 cycle current supply is required. Make certain the current supply is uninterrupted and cannot be turned off with another switch. All electrical connections must be connected per local codes. Surge protection is recommended with all electric controls. Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing must be free from lime and iron build-up. Piping that is built-up heavily with lime and/or iron must be replaced. If piping is blocked with iron, additional equipment must be installed ahead of the water conditioner to correct the problem. Drain Line: The conditioner should be located close to a drain. Avoid overhead drain lines if possible to prevent back pressure on the brine injector. Overhead drains are not to exceed 8 feet above the floor and no more than 20 feet in length. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 1” drain line. Bypass Valves: Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve. Softening: It is recommended that the conditioner be installed to soften both the hot and cold water supply. A separate hard water faucet may be plumbed for drinking purposes if you desire. Outside faucets should be left on hard water. Caution: Water temperature is not to exceed 110°F; the conditioner cannot be subject to freezing conditions, or to a vacuum due to loss of pressure (such as a water main break). bypass valve OPERATION Figure 2 Figure 4 5 Figure 3 Figure 5 Installation Instructions (All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes) • Do not use vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals. • Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Only teflon tape may be used on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals. • The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 1” drain line. 1. Place the conditioner where you want to install it, making sure it is on a clean, level and firm base. 2. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet and drain line to drain). The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing. 3. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. 4. A jumper ground wire should be installed between the inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic continuity of a water distribution piping system is interrupted. Install jumper ground wire on metal pipes. 5. The drain connection may be made using either 5/8” polytube (See figure 6a, page 6) or a 3/4” female adapter. If soldering, joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the drain line control fitting and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting. 6. The brine refill flow control assembly is installed in an easy to access refill elbow located on top of the control valve. The refill flow control assembly is attached to the control valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow to rotate 270 degrees so the outlet can be orientated towards the saltkeeper. 7. Connect the brine line found in the brine tank to the brine connection on the control valve. The control valve has a standard refill elbow which a 3/8” flexible tube can be connected, see figure 6a, page 6. (An optional elbow can be ordered which accommodates a 1/2” flexible tube for a high regenerant draw rate situation). Both elbows use the same refill flow control and retainer. Do not connect the other end of the brine line to the safety brine valve in the brine tank at this time. Make sure the floor is clean beneath the salt tank and that it is level and smooth. 8. A 1/2” (inside diameter) gravity drain line should be connected to the overflow elbow on the side of the brine tank and run to a drain below the level of the elbow. This overflow drainage system provides protection from water damage in the event of a brine shut-off malfunction. Tubing is not provided to do this. In all cases where an overflow could result in water damage for various reasons, this overflow protection must be used. Do not connect the tubing to the drain line on the control valve discharge line and do not run this line above the overflow elbow height at any point. Provide air gap. Drain Connection Brine Line Connection Figure 6a 6 Figure 6b Programming 12:00pm General Information The H125 control valve is the “brain” of your water softener. It consists of the valve body and powerhead with solid state microprocessor. The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LCD display and five push buttons which are used in displaying and programming the water softener settings. Initial Start Up The initial start up will probably be done by the technician installing the softener system. If not, the following instructions will step you through the process. 1. Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain line and brine line. Do not add salt at this time. 2. Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See figure 3 page 5) Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water faucet to flush the piping of any air and/or foreign material. Run until the water is clear. 3. Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank. 4. Now plug the transformer into a 110-volt receptacle. (Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.) Within 5 seconds the control will automatically align itself into the softening mode and display will automatically alternate between time of day, gal/min and gallons remaining. (Figure 8, page 7). 5. Set the time of day by pushing clock button (figure 9, page 8) and using and buttons. 6. Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds. The system will advance to the “First” position. (Note: Depending on how the system is programmed it could read backwash, rinse, brine or fill). Keep pushing REGEN button until “Rinse” shows in the lower right hand corner of display. Slowly place the by-pass into the “diagnostic mode” (see fig 4, page 5). Run water to the drain until it runs clear. Return the by-pass valve to the by-pass position (fig 3, page 5). Push REGEN button until “unit is back to softening mode. 7. Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for 3 seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back- General Operation wash” appears. Slowly place the by-pass valve into the “Diagnostic Mode” 1/2 way. Allow water to slowly fill the mineral tank. When a solid stream of water starts coming out of the drain line, open the by-pass inlet valve all the way and allow to run out the drain until water clears. Then slowly place the by-pass into the “normal operation” mode by opening the outlet side of by-pass valve, figure 2, page 5. 8. Press the REGEN button until LED display says “REGENERANT DRAW-DN”. Loosen the brine line from the control valve. Place finger over the end of brine connection on valve to check for suction. If no suction, see trouble-shooting guide. (See #11, Page 20) If proper suction, attach brine tube to control valve, and allow it to draw water down to the bottom of the air check, (figure 6b, page 6). 9. Press REGEN button again until LED once again displays “BACKWASH”. Keep in backwash until water once again runs clear at the drain. 10. Press REGEN button again until “RINSE” is displayed. Allow rinse cycle to run its full course. While the rinse cycle is finishing, this would be a good time to load your brine tank with salt. If utilizing brine recovery, add full volume of water to brine tank for the 1st REGENERATION. 11. Once the rinse cycle has finished, the softener control will return to the softening cycle. The LED screen will scroll between “TIME/GPM/Gallons Remaining”. 12. Next set your softeners water hardness, days override and regeneration time settings (see figure 10a, page 8). Your programming is now complete. user displays/settings NORMAL OPERATION SCREENS REGEN TODAY flashes in upper left REGEN TODAY CAPACITY REMAINING corner of display GAL between rotating dis- GPM play when REGEN OR button pushed once.

Shows capacity or days remaining before a regeneration. When the system is operating, one of three displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: days to a regen or gallons remaining. Days To A Regen is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. The third display is current flow in gal/min. The user can scroll between the displays as desired by pushing NEXT or display will scroll automatically. 7 Figure 7 6.8 DEALER NAME DEALER PHONE NUMBER May display if service is required.

When time of day is flashing, replace lithium coin type 2032 battery. TIME MINUTES SET 6:35 PM Step 3 Battery back-up feature will be activated after 24 hours of power. Do not forget to reset for daylight savings time. RETURN TO ROTATING DISPLAY Figure 9 INSTALLER DISPLAYS/SETTINGS Step 1 = Up Arrow WATER HARDNESS SET 20 Step 2 - Hardness: Set the amount of total compensated hardness in grains (hardness as calcium carbonate) per gallon using or buttons. The factory setting is 20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. Note: The grains per gallon should be increased if soluble iron needs to be reduced. Add 3 grains of hardness for each ppm of iron present. If this display shows nA -, then system is set-up in “filter” mode or "AUTO" is not selected in softener system setup. (See page 34). Press NEXT to go to Step 3. Press REGEN to exit Installer Displays/Settings. DAYS BETWEEN REGEN 14 Step 3 Step 3 - Day Override: This sets the number of days between regenerations. If value set to “oFF” regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If value is set as a number (allowable range from 1 to 28) a regeneration initiation will be called for on that day even if sufficient number of gallons were not used to call for a regeneration. Set Day Override using or buttons: Factory setting is 14 days. • number of days between regeneration (1 to 28); or • “oFF” REGEN TIME HOUR 2:00 AM Step 4 See figure 12a & b, page 11-12, for more detail on softener setup.

RETURN TO ROTATING DISPLAY Figure 10a 8 = Down Arrow Step 1 - Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds. Step 2 GR SET SET = Down Arrow Manual Regeneration Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day. "REGEN TODAY" CAPACITY REMAINING 320 To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash in left corner of display as it scrolls through displays to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request. GAL To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN” button for five seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled. You must cycle all the way through the cycles to make it stop. PLEASE NOTE: This will reset the meter. Note: If the salt tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating. If two regenerations are desired within 24 hour period, press /release REGEN button. REGEN TODAY will flash on screen. Press and hold REGEN button until valve initiates regeneration. Regeneration Mode Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when the household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be supplied. When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed (see figure 11). The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed. Regeneration Step (shows time remaining in regen step is 8 minutes, 22 seconds) BACKWASH 8:22 Figure 11 cycle time adjustments Normally it is not recommended to adjust the lengths of the cycle times. However, certain water conditions may dictate adjustments. This should only be done from the recommendation of a water conditioning professional.

RETURN TO ROTATING DISPLAY 17 Water Softener Disinfection The materials of construction of your water softener will not support bacterial growth nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. However, the normal conditions existing during shipping, storage, and installation indicate the advisability of disinfecting a softener after installation, before the softener is used to treat potable water. In addition, during normal use a softener may become fouled with organic matter or in some cases, with bacteria from the water supply. Therefore, every water softener should be disinfected after installation, some will require periodic disinfection during their normal life. Disinfect as follows: 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite solutions are available under such trade names such as Clorox, Linco, Bo Peep, White Sail and Eagle Brand Bleach. If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust the dosage accordingly. 1. Dosage: a. Softening resin; 1.2 fluid ounce per cubic foot of mineral (see page 33). 2. Add the required amount of hypochlorite solution to the brine well of the brine tank. a. Proceed with the normal regeneration. Press regen and allow the water softener to go through a normal regeneration. SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE (household bleach) Water Softener Draining Procedure In cold weather climates it is common for plumbing systems that are not in use to be “winterized“ or drained of all water to prevent any damage that may be caused by the excessive expansion of water when it freezes. To prevent damage to a water softener it must be properly drained also. A simple way to properly drain or winterize a water softener is to use compressed air to force all of the water out of the softener mineral tank. The following procedure will explain the process: 1) Initiate the softener into a manual regeneration cycle. Advance control to backwash and allow it to complete the backwash cycle (this will clean the media) and start into the brine-draw cycle. Note: Be sure there is salt in the brine tank and water has been in contact with salt at least 20 minutes. Allow the regeneration to continue in the brine draw cycle until the brine is drawn out of the salt keeper and the air check at the bottom of the brine pick-up tube shuts off. At this time no more brine is introduced into the softener and the slow rinse process begins. 2) Turn the water supply inlet and outlet valves off to the water softener as soon as the air check shuts off and no more brine is being drawn into the softener (at the beginning of the slow rinse process). 3) Unplug the electric power leaving the softener control valve in the brine draw cycle. 4) Remove the brine refill elbow assembly from the control valve. Remove the refill flow control retainer assembly from the elbow. Reinstall the elbow assembly and secure with the locking clip. Disconnect the brine tube at the top of the salt keeper and force air into the brine tube toward the softener mineral tank and control valve. The air will force the brine/water solution that was drawn into the mineral tank out to drain through the control valve drain line. (An air compressor blow gun attachment with a portable air compressor works well.) Reinstall the brine line flow control retainer in side of the refill elbow assembly. Reinstall the brine refill elbow assembly and secure with locking clip. CAUTION: You do not want to apply any more pressure than necessary to force the brine/water out of the mineral tank. The small amount of brine/water that may be left in the mineral tank will not expand enough to cause any damage to the softener when it freezes. If your softener is equipped with an optional bottom drain on the mineral tank, you will have to follow all of the same procedures with the exception of the need for compressed air. With the brine tube disconnected from the salt keeper, raise it to a level above the softener control valve and temporarily secure it in this position. Now open the drain valve at the bottom of the mineral tank and allow all brine/water to drain from the mineral tank. CAUTION: If a hose is connected to the drain valve to direct the brine/water to a floor drain be sure it runs downward and is unobstructed. When brine/water quits running at the drain, be sure to leave the drain valve open until you start the system up again. 5) At this time the salt keeper has very little water left in it. What liquid is left in the salt keeper is saturated brine, provided that there is still salt left in the tank. Saturated brine will not freeze solid and cause any damage and does not have to be drained any further from the brine tank. If there is no salt left in the salt keeper when the system is drained we recommend dumping all of the water out of the brine tank at this time. See brine tank cleaning instructions. (#2 in miscellaneous section, below) 6) CAUTION: It is important at this time to be assured that the inlet/ outlet water supply piping is properly drained. Depending on how the water supply piping was routed to the water softener control valve, a water loop or trap may have been created. Sometimes drain valve(s) are installed at the bottom of the loop to assure all water can be drained out. If not it may be necessary to disconnect the control valve from the piping system and open the inlet/outlet valve(s) to allow all the water to drain from the piping. This should be done when the rest of the plumbing system is drained. 7) Draining or winterizing of your softener is complete. Refer to the startup procedures on page 8 when you are ready to start your softener. Miscellaneous 1. Salt Usage: See your water conditioning professional for a recommendation on the best type of salt for your application. 2. Brine Tank Cleaning: a. Remove brine tank cover. b. Scoop out as much old salt as possible. c. Disconnect brine tubing from safety brine valve at brine well. d. Remove safety brine valve from brine well. e.

Reassemble brine tank reversing steps c - f. Note: If grid plate is used and it is damaged or cracked, replace with new one. j. Put brine tank in place making sure there is no debris or foreign material beneath it. k. Reconnect brine tubing to safety brine valve. l. Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank (or to approximately 1” above the grid plate, if used). m. Add new salt. Important: Do not add the old salt which was removed earlier unless it is clean and not mushy. We recommend using new salt. n. Follow the disinfection instructions found at the top of this page. o.

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 power source plug connects to the four-pin jack. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board. The water meter plug (gray wire) connects to the three-pin jack on the far right-hand side of the PC board. PC Board Replacement 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 45º from the drive bracket it can be lifted off of these pins. To reinstall a board, 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. Drive Bracket Replacement 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 top of the drive bracket forward. 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 toward 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 fully engaged, the piston rod is not in hold, the wires are jammed between the drive bracket and drive back plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly. Drive Gear Replacement To inspect the drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. Before trying to remove the gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back plate. (Refer to the instructions above regarding removing the drive bracket from the drive back plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from the drive bracket without removing the motor or the PC board.) 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. With the 35 PC board facing up, push in and down on the large clip on the drive gear cover. Handle the cover and the gears carefully so that the gears do not fall off the pegs in the cover. Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the reflective coating because 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. Drive Motor Replacement 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 1/4 turn in either direction so the wires are vertical (up & down) 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. To reinstall the motor, move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover. Release the spring clip loop and continue to rotate the motor until the wires are horizontal and the motor housing engages the small plastic bulge inside the drive bracket motor retainer. Reconnect the motor plug to the two-pronged jack on the lower left side of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive gears when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate the motor before reinserting. Reconnect the power plug. Replace the valve cover. 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 and then reset the valve to the service position. Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly must 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 1/4" to 1/2" flat blade 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. See Figure 29. 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, 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 o-ring. Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston 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 pressing sideways and unsnapping it from its latch. Chemically clean this in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove the main downflow or upflow 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 this 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 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. This display should flash all wording, then flash the software version and then reset the valve to the service position. Spacer Stack Assembly To access the spacer stack 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 o-rings and clear lip seals for wear or damage. Replace the entire stack if necessary. Do not disassemble the stack. The spacer stack assembly may be 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 clear lip seals or the piston. Reattach the drive cap assembly and the piston(s) and the drive assembly. Figure 29 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 and then reset the valve to the service position. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector Replacement 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. Reattach the drive cap assembly and the 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 software version and then reset the valve to the service position. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector Replacement 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 smaller 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. See Table Below. COMPLIANCE TABLE Application Injector and/or Plug(s) Main Piston Regenerant Piston Stack H125 Downflow Softener or Regenerating Filter (1.32" Distributor) Injector in "DN" hole, Plug in "UP" Hole 151-V3407 15-V3174 151-V3430 H125 Backwash Only Filter (1.32" Distributor) Plug in "DN" and "UP" holes, Install Refill Port Plug 151-V3407 None 151-V3430 Push the plug(s) and/or injectors firmly in place, replace the screen and hand tighten the injector cap. 36 Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug To clean or replace the refill flow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight up on 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 flat blade screwdriver. Chemically clean the flow control or the white flow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. Do not use a wire brush. If necessary, replace the flow control, oring on the flow control retainer, or the o-ring on the elbow. Reseat the flow control so the rounded end is visible in the flow control. Reseat the white flow control retainer by pushing the retainer into the elbow until the o-ring 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 silicone lubricant may be used on the o-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 disconnect the power source and water meter plugs from the PC board. Unlatch the drive assembly and lean it in 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 through the drive back plate and side of the drive assembly. Reattach the drive assembly and the water meter and power plugs. If no water meter 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 cap on the left side of the control valve. Pliers may be 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, gently pull forward on the turbine to remove it from the shaft. Do not use a wire brush to clean the turbine. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. The turbine can be immersed in the chemical. 37 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 silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-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 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 use a 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 o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor. When installing the red arrow handles be sure that: 1. The handle pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows, and the rotor seal o-ring and retainer on both rotors face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve; or 2. Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position. Since the handles can by pulled off, they could be accidently reinstalled 180º 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 the 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 and reset the valve to the service position. 38 39 H125 Series Water Softeners limited warranty Hellenbrand, Inc., warrants to the original consumer purchaser that the H125 Series and the parts listed below will be free from defects in material and/or workmanship from the date of the original installation for the following time periods: For a Period of FIVE YEARS: The control valve including electrical parts, internal parts, and valve body.
