SECTION 1 WATER SOFTENER START-UP

1D. SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER

Care is taken at the factory tO keel) your water

softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to

make the softener will not infect or contaminate

your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to

form or grow. However, during shipping, storage,

installing and operating, bacteria could get into

the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows

is suggested q) when installing.

1. Lift the salt hole cover and use a pail or hose to

fill the salt storage tank with at least 3 gallons of

water.

2. Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 2) and pour

about 3/4 ounce of common 5.25% household

bleach (Clorox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail, Eagle,

etc.) in the softener brinewen.

3. Press the ON/OFF-HOLD button and holdjbr3

seconds to start a recharge. This first recharge does

several things.

-- It draws the bleach into and through the

softener to sanitize it.

--It fills the salt tank to the water level

needed.

-- It gets all the air out of the resin tank.

-- It makes the resin bed (see page 11) ready

for service.

NOTES:

This recharge takes about 2 hours.

You can sanitize the softener with or with-

out salt in the storage tank.

SECTION 1 WATER SOFTENER START-UP

1E. FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH SALT

Brine (salt dissolved in wate 0 is needed fbr each

and every regeneration. The water for making

brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the

softener. However, you must keep the tank filled

with salt.

Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water

softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have

dirt and sediments that will stop the softener from

working.

Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in

place on the top of the brinewen. Salt storage

capacity is shown on page 18.

NOTE:

In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank

half-full, and to refill it more often. Salt bridging

(see page 14) occurs i-ilorc often when conditions

are humid.

WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON REMOV-

ING ADDITIVES -- Some salts have an additive to

hel I) the softener handle iron in the water supply.

Although this additive may help to keep the

softener resin clean, it may also release corrosive

fumes that will weaken and shorten the life of

some softener parts.

ADD SALT

SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners using

sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to

the water. Persons who are on sodium restricted

diets should consider the added sodium as part of

their overan sodium intake.

For example, if your water supply is 15 grains

hard, you would have to drink 3 quarts of softened

water to consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That

is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread.

Persons who arc concerned about their drinking

water should consider a Sears Drinking Water

System that will remove or reduce in excess of

90% of the sodium and other drinking water

contaminants.

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually stmxed regeneration (re-

charge) may be desired, o1" needed. Two exam-

pies arc:

-- You have used more water than usual (guests

visiting) and you may run out of soft water before

the next timer started regeneration.

-- You did not refill the softener with salt before it

was gone.

You can start a regeneration right away, or you can

set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or

other preset recharge time). Do the following.

decide to cancel the regeneration, and RE-

CHARGE TONIGHT.

PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the

time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps

the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical

power comes on again, you have to 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 timer is incorrect after a long power

outage, the softener works as it should to keel)

you water soft. However, regenerations may occur

at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer

to the correct time of day.

ERROR CODE

An error code could appear in the face plate

display if a problem occurs in the softener

electronics. If you see an error code instead of the

time of day, please call you local Sears Service

Department for service.

SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2B. SOFTWATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION

SERVICE

When the softener is giving you soft water, it is

called "Service". During service, hard water comes

from the house main water pipe into the softener.

Inside the softener resin tank is a bed made up of

thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads (FIG. 4). As

hard water passes through the bed, each bead

attracts and holds the hardness minerals. This is

called ion-exchanging. It is much like a magnet

attracting and holding metals. Water without the

hardness minerals (soft water) flows out of the

softener and into the house soft water pipes.

After a period of time, the resin beads become

coated with hardness minerals and they have to be

cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration or

recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 a.m. by

the electronic timer (see page 13). It takes place in

5 stages or cycles. These are:

E]FILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine.

Brine is needed to clean the hardness minerals

from the resin beads. To make the brine, water

flows into the salt storage area during the fill stage

as shown in FIG. 5. Fill cycle length depends on

how much soft water making capacity you have

used since the last regeneration. As you use more

watec fill time increases so more brine is made.

The greater amount of brine cleans more hardness

minerals from the resin bed.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION

[_BRINING: During brining, the brine is moved

from the salt storage area, into the resin tank.

Inside the resin tank, brine cleans hardness

minerals from the resin beads and they are

discharged out the drain. How much brine is

needed to clean the resin depends on:

-- the amount of resin in the softener,

-- how fast the brine goes through the bed.

The nozzle and venturi (FIG. 6) make suction to

take brine fi'om the salt tank and put it into the

resin tank. They keel) the brine flow down to a

very slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with

the least salt.

[] BRINE RINSE:After all of the brine goes into the

resin tank, the brine valve closes. Water keeps

flowing the same way it did during brining except

the brine flow has stopped. Hardness minerals

and brine flush from the resin tank to the drain.

Brining and brine rinse together vary in length of

time they take, relative to the fill cycle length.

SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION

AUTOMATIC BYPASS

During the brining, brine rinse and backwash

cycles of regeneration, HARD water goes through

the softener valve and to the house pipes. If a

faucet is opened, hard water is there fbr your

needs. However, you should not use HOT water, if

possible, because the water heater will refill with

hard water. The softener regenerates from 2:00

AM to about 4:00 AM, (you can change this time...

see page 7), a time when not much water is used.

If you get up early in the morning and you can

hear the softener regenerating, change the time

setting. Set the recharge time to 12:00 AM or 1:00

AM (page 7). Then regeneration will start and end

that much earlier and your water heater will not

refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.

ELECTRONICS

Two main parts of the softener's electronics are []

a WATER METER, and [] a COMPUTER.

[] WATER METER -- The water meter is in the

softener valve outlet. As water flows through the

meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The

computer changes the pulses to a measure in

gallons of water.

[] COMPUTER -- The computer is pml of the

circuit board. It is programmed to know the

softener's capacity (how many grains of hardness

minerals it will take out of the water before a

regeneration is needed). When starting the

softener, page 7, you set it for the grains per gallon

(gpg) hardness of the water.

To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs,

the computer uses: (1) water usage from the

meter, (2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity,

and (4) time since the last regeneration. The

computer always adjusts this pattern to your water

using habits. It works to provide you with soft

water fbr the longest time, at the most efficient salt

usage.

Softening capacity is used as hard water goes

through the softener and hardness minerals are

removed. When the computer determines that

only enough capacity remains to provide soft

water up to the next regeneration starting time

(2:00 AM, or as otherwise set), it will schedule a

regeneration. RECI_IARGETONIGI_ITdisplays until

the regeneration begins. When the regeneration

begins, TONIGHT goes off and RECHARGE NOW

flashes during the 2 hour regeneration.

SECTION 3 CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

I ]

3A. SALT...REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING ASALT BRIDGE

WHEN TO REFILL WITH SALT: Check the salt

level a few weeks after you install the softener and

every week after that. Refill when the storage

tank is about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use

all the salt beff)re refilling. Without salt, you will

soon have hard water.

IMPORTANT:

You will have a loss in softening capacity and

may get partly hard water if less than 10

inches of salt is in the storage tank.

PLEASE SEE PAGE 9 FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS.

SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the

salt storage 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 salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) in the

water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed

does not regenerate and you will have hard water.

If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if

you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the

bridge is under it. The following is the best way to

check for a salt bridge.

Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of

the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to

the softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil

mark on the handle, 1" or 2" below the top height

of the rim, as shown. Then, carefully push it

straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt

before the pencil mark gets to the top of the tank,

it's most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the

bridge in a few places to break it. Do not try to

break the salt bridge by pounding on the

outside of the salt tank. You may damage it.

If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it

out. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt

only.

3B. KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN

COVERS

To keep your new Sears water softener looking

nice, apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a

year. When dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to

keep it sparkling.

NOTE:

Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives.

They may scratch and dull the surface.

NOZZLE AND VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 10) is a must for

the softener to work right. This small unit moves

brine fi'om the salt storage tank to the resin tank

during regeneration. If it becomes plugged with

sand, silt, dirt, etc., the softener will not work and

you will get haM water.

To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the

softener top cover. Be sure the softener is in

service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and

venturi). Then, holding the housing tightly with 1

hand, turn the cap off. DO NOT LOSE THE IARGE

O-RING SEAL. Lift out the screen support and

screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash and

rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If

needed, use a sman brush to remove iron or dirt.

Also check and clean the gasket.

Carefully replace all l)m_s in the correct order.

Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease or

Vaseline and place in position. Install and tighten

the cap, by hand only. Do not over-tighten and

break the cap or housing.

IRON FROM THE RESIN BED

Your water softener takes hardness minerals

(calcium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it

can control some "clear water" iron. See maximum

allowed in the specifications on page 18. With

clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when

first put into a glass. After 15 to 30 minutes, the

water begins to cloud or turn rust colored. A water

softener WILL NOT remove any iron which makes

the water cloudy or rusty as it comes from the

faucet (called red water iron). To take red water

iron out of water, or over the maximum of clear

water iron, an iron filter or other equipment is

needed. Your local Sears store has trained people

to help you with iron water problems.

If your water supply has clear water iron, even

though less than the maxinmm allowed, regular

resin bed cleaning is needed. Sears has resin bed

cleaner, Stock No. 42-34426 for this. Clean the bed

at least every 6 months. If iron shows up in the soft

water before 6 months, clean more often. Printed

instructions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SOFTENER, CALL TOLL

FREE, NUMBER 1-800-426-9345.

SECTION 3 CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

3C. KEEP THE SOFTENER FROM FREEZING

If the softener is installed where it could freeze

(summer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain

all water from it to stop possible freeze damage.

To drain the softener:

1. Close the shut-off valve on the house main

water pipe, near the water meter or pressure

tank.

2. Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent

pressure in the softener.

If a single bypass valve is installed, move the

stem into bypass. See FIG. 12 on page 18. In a

3-valve bypass system, close the inlet and

outlet valve and open the bypass valve. If you

want water in the house pipes again, reopen

the shut-off valve on the main water pipe.

Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.

Remove the salt hole cover and the main

cover. Take off both drain hoses.

Carefully remove the large holding clips at the

softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. 61, on

page 30). Separate the softener from the

adaptors or bypass valve.

Remove the brinewen cover and disconnect

the brine valve tubing at the nozzle and venturi

assembly (see page 23). Lift the brine valve out

of the brinewell. Tip the brine valve upside

down to drain out water.

DRAIN WATER FROM THE

SOFTENER

Drain Wood Block

Looking at FIG. 11, lay a piece of 2 inch thick

board near the floor drain. Move the softener

close to the drain. SLOWIX and CAREFULIX

tip it over until the rim rests on the wood block

with the inlet and outlet over the drain. Do not

allow the softener's weight to rest on the

inlet and outlet fittings or they will break.

Tip the bottom of the softener up a few inches

and hold until all water has drained. Leave the

softener laying like this until you are ready to

use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to

keep dim bugs, etc. out.

If your water softener fails tO work, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what's wrong

yourself and you won't have to call and wait for service. If, after making the checks, your softener still does

not work right, call your Sears Service Department, or call toll free, number 1-800-426-9345 for telephone

assistance.

NOTE:

Also read ERROR CODE, page 10. If an error code is trot dispIayed, press and bold the SELECT button until

(example: 000- -) shows in the display. Then, press SELECT again and bold until an SR code appears. It

must show SR21. If any other SR number shows, the softener computer is working on incorrect input and

would probably be the cause of the problem. To set SR21, press either the UP {_)r DOWN {_utton. Then

press select to return a flashing 12:00 AM display, and reset the timer, page 6.

PROBLEM

NO SOFT WATER

WATER HARD SOMETIMES

CAUSE

No salt (or salt bridged) in the storage tank

Transfomer unplugged at the wall outlet, or

3ower cable leads loose, fuse blown, circuit

breaker popped, or circuit switched off.

Manual bypass valve(s) in bypass position

Dirty, plugged or damaged nozzle & venturi

Valve drain hose plugged

Hardness number setting too low

Using hot water when softener is regenerating

Increase in the grains of hardness in your

water supply

CORRECTION

Refill with salt, or break the salt bridge (page

14). Press ON/OFF-HOLD (RECHARGE

NOW) button and hold for 3 seconds to start

a regeneration (see page 10).

Check for loss of power due to any of these

and correct. With the power back on, look at

the time display and read PROGRAM

MEMORY, page 10.

Look at FIG. 12 on page 18. Move the stem

in a single valve to service. In a 3-valve

bypass, open the inlet and outlet valves, and

be sure to fully close the bypass valve.

Take apart and clean or replace damaged

parts (see page 15).

The drain hose must not have kinks, sharp

bends, or be raised too high above the

softener (see page 16 in your installation

manual).

Press and release the SELECT button until

HARDNESS shows in the display. Read the

hardness number in the display and be sure

the same grains per gallon number is shown

on your water analysis report. See page 7 to

reset. Press and release the SELECT

button until the present time shows in the

display.

Avoid using hot water during this time

because the water heater refills with hard

water (see Automatic Bypass, page 13).

Ask your Sears retail or catalog store for a

new water analysis. Then make a new

hardness number setting (page 7).

MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK

This check verifies l)roper 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 fa_e plate display must show a steady

time (not flashing).

1. Press the ON/OFF-HOLD button and bold in

jor3 secc)l_ds. RECHARGE NOW begins to

flash as the softener enters the fill cycle of

regeneration. Remove the brinewell cover

and, using a flashlight, observe fill water

entering the tank.

A. If it does not enter the tank, look for an ob-

structed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine

tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.

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.

NOTE: Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing

water with salt contact.

A. If the softener does not draw brine:

- nozzle and/or venturi dilty or defective.

- nozzle and venturi not seated properly on

gasket.

- restricted drain (check drain fitting and

hose).

- defective nozzle and venturi seal.

- other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor &

disc, wave washer, etc.).

NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an

elevated drain hose may cause back pressure,

stopping brine draw.

3. Again press ON/OFF-HOLD to move the

softener into backwash. Look for a fast flow of

water from the drain hose.

An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top

distributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.

Press ON/OFF-HOLD to move the softener

into fast rinse. 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.

5B. ROTARY VALVE SERVICE

Before working on the valve, turn off the water

supply and disconnect from electrical power.

TO RELIEVE PRESSURE:

- 3 VAINE BYPASS: Close the inlet valve and open

a soft water faucet. Then close the outlet valve and

open the bypass valve.

- SEARS SPECIAL BYPASS: Slide the bypass valve

stem to bypass position. Loosen the 3 hex head

screws (see A in drawing) towaM the backside of

the valve to allow pressure water to bleed out.

Catch the water with a rag.

DISASSEMBLY

To remove a pal1 or group of palts, refer to the

valve drawing. A common screwdriver or nut

driver, Phillips screwdriver and pliers are the only

tools needed to completely disassemble.

SERVICING THE VALVE

Inspect all o-rings, seals and gaskets for wear or

defects.

Inspect the bottom surface of the rotor and disc for

scratches, chips or wear.

NOTE: If replacement is needed, be sure to use

the current replacement part.

ASSEMBLY

Be sure all pm_s are in place and in the proper

position. Lubricate ALLo-rings and seals with FDA

approved silicone grease. To install the rotor seal,

first place the seal into the valve groove, rounded

side down (see cross-section). Apply a light

coating of silicone grease to the seal's crossing

ribs. Then, carefully center the wear strip on the

seal, and push it downward onto the seal.

Install the nozzle and venturi seal and drain seal.

Assemble 2 o-rings and the wave washer onto the

rotor and disc. Then center the rotor and disc, in

the valve body, on the rotor seal.

Lower the cover onto the valve body and rotor

shaft. Then install the cover holding screws.

BEFORE TIGHTENING THE SCREWS, INSTALL

THE VALVE CAM AND GEAR. THEN TURN THE

ROTOR (CLOCKWISE ONLY) TO SERVICE POSI-

TION. Tighten the screws using a criss-cross

pattern. If a torque wrench is available, torque to

30-40 inch pounds.
