SECTION 1 WATERSOFTENERSTART-UP

1D. SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER

Care is taken at the factory to keep 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, stor-

age, installing and operating, bacteria could get

into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as

follows is suggested 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 and pour about

3/4 ounce (1 to 2 tablespoons) of common 5.25%

household bleach into the softener brinewell.

Clorox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail, Eagle, etc., are

brand names of bleach readily available.

3. Press the ON/OFF-HOLD button and holdfor3

seconds to start a recharge. This first recharge

does several things.

-- It draws the bleach into and through the

softener to sanitize it.

Salt Hole

Cover

-- 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 soft water service.

NOTES:

This recharge takes about 2 hours.

You can sanitize the softener with or without

salt in the storage tank.

Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On

some water supplies, the water softener may need

periodic disinfecting. Sanitize with or without salt in the

storage tank.

SECTION 1 WATERSOFTENERSTART-UP

1E. FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH SALT

Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each

and every regeneration. The water for making

brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the

softener. Howevel, 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 brinewell. 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 more often when conditions

are humid.

Water softening salt with iron removing addi-

tives -- Some salts have an additive to help the

softener handle iron in the water supply. Al-

though 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

\Brinewell

Cover

Sodium Information: Water softeners using so-

dium chloride for regeneration add sodium to

the water. Persons who are on sodium restricted

diets should consider the added sodium as part

of their overall 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 are 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.

YOU HAVE NOW FINISHED THE WATER SOFTENER START-LT. AFTER THE SANITIZING RE-

CHARGE, ON PAGE 8, THE SOFTENER WILL BE GIVING YOU SOFT WATER.

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started regeneration

(recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two

examples are:

--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 awa_ or you

can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00

AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the

following.

flash in the displa_ and the I "EC"ARGENOW

softener enters the fill cycle

of regeneration right away. This regeneration

will last for about 2 hours. Then, you will

have soft water again.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

• Press and release (do not hold) the ON/

OFF-HOLD button. RE-

CHARGE TONIGHT flashes _.. J_-q l

in the displa_ and the soften- RECHARGETONIGHT

er begins regeneration at the

next preset recharge time. If you decide to

cancel the regeneration before it has started,

press and release the ON/OFF-HOLD but-

ton once more to turn off the flashing 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 keep

you water soft. Howevel; 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 da_ please call you local Sears Service

SECTION 2 MowYOURWATERSOFTENERWORKS

2B. SOFTWATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION

SERVICE

When the softener is giving you soft watel, 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 tlu'ough 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:

REGENERATION

[] FILL: Salt, dissolved in watel, 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 regenera-

tion. As you use more watel, 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,

--howfast the brine goes through the bed.

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

take brine from the salt tank and put it into the

resin tank. They keep the brine flow down to a

very slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with

the least salt.

[3_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 the length of time they take,

relative to the fill cycle length.

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 for 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). In most homes, 2-4 AM is a

time when not much water is used, if any.

If you get up early in tile morning and you can

hear the softener regenerating, change the time

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

1:00 AM (page 7). Then regeneration will start

and end tllat 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 tile pulses to a measure in

gallons of water.

[] COMPUTER -- The computer is part of the

timer 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 tile water.

To find a regeneration pattern best for your

needs, the computer uses: (1) water usage from

the mete1; (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 for 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 tile 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. RECHARGE TONIGHT displays

until the regeneration begins. When the regen-

eration begins, TONIGHT goes off and RE-

CHARGE NOW flashes during the 2 hour regen-

eration.

SECTION 3CAREOFYOURSOFTENER

I I

3A. SALT...REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT 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 before refilling. Without

salt, you will soon have hard water.

IMPORTANT:

You will have aloss 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 the

tank.

If the wrong kind of salt was the cause of 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 witll a damp cloth to

keep it sparkling.

NOTE:

Never use cleaners having ammonia or abra-

sives. They may scratch and dull the surface.

NOZZLE AND VENTURI

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

tile softener to work right. This small unit moves

brine from 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 hard 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 large

o-ring seal. Lift out the screen support and

screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash and

rinse tlle parts in warm water until clean. If

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

Also check and clean tile gasket.

Carefully replace all parts in the correct order.

Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease or

Vaseline and place in position. Install and

tighten tile 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 tile water. Also,

it can control some "clear water" iron. See

maximum allowed in tile 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

tllough less than the maximum allowed, regular

resinbed cleaning is needed. Sears has resinbed

cleanel; Stock No. 42-34426 for tiffs. Clean the

bed at least every 6 months. If iron appears in the

soft water before 6 months, clean more often.

Printed instructions are on the resin bed cleaner

bottle.

SECTION 3 CAREOF','OURSOFTE.ER

30. KEEP THE SOFTENER FROM FREEZING

If tlle 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 tlle softener:

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

water pipe, near the water meter or pressure

tank.

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 19. 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 tlle main water

pipe.

Unplug tile 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 brinewell cover and disconnect

the brine valve tubing at the nozzle and

venturi assembly (see page 23). Lift the brine

valve out of tlle 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. Slowly and carefully, tip it

over until the rim rests on tlle 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 tllis until you are ready to

use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to

keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.

3D. HELPFUL HINTS CHECKLIST

... TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY

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 1-800-426-9345for

telephone assistance.

NOTE:

1. Also read ERROR CODE, page 10.

2. If an error code is not dispIayed, press and hold the SELECT button until (example: 000- -) shows in

the display. Then, press SELECT again and hold until an SR code appears. It must show SR 22 for Model

Nos. 625.348471 and 625.348491. If any other SR number shows, the softener computer is working on

incorrect input and this would probably be the cause of the problem. To set SR 22, press either the UP

or DOWN[y_] button. Then, press SELECT to return a flashing 12:00 AM displa_ and reset the timer on

page 6.

You can find the model number of your water softener on the rating decal, on the brine tank rim. See

page 28.

ALWAYS MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST

1. Does the time display show the correct time of day?

-If display is blank, check power source to the

softener.

- If time is flashing, power was off for over 6 hours. The

softener resumes normal operation but regenera-

tions occur at the wrong time.

- If an error code (Example: Err 03) shows in the face

plate displa_ go to Automatic Electronic Diagnostics.

Plumbing bypass valve(s) must be in Full Service

position.

The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the softener

valve inlet and outlet respectively:

Is the transformer plugged into a "live", grounded

wall outlet, and is the power cable fastened securely?

The valve drain hose must be free of kinks and sharp

bends, and not elevated over 8 ft. above the floor.

REMOVE THE TOP COVER AND SALT TANK COVER

6. Is there salt in the storage tank?

7. Is the brine tubing connected? (See water flow

diagrams).

8. Is the brine valve float set right? (See page 22).

9. Press the SELECT button 2 times to display the

hardness setting. Be sure it is the correct setting for the

household's water supply. (Make a hardness test of

the raw water and compare with the hardness setting.

Also test a soft water sample to verify if a problem

exists.) Press SELECT twice more to return the time of

day display.

If you do not find the problem after making initial checks,

do the Manual Initiated Electronic Diagnostics, and the

Manual Advance Regeneration Check.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS

The face plate computer has a self-diagnostic

function for the electrical system (except input

power and water meter). The _...,, I"13

computer monitors the electronic _7__ _ t..q_

components and circuits for cor-

rect operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error

code appears in the face plate display.

The chart below shows the error codes that could

appear, and the possible defects for each code.

While an error code appears in the display, all face

plate buttons are inoperable except the SELECT

button. The SELECT button remains operational so

the service person can make the Manual initiated

Electronic Diagnostics to further isolate the defect,

and check the water meter.

Before working on the valve, turn off the water

supply and disconnect from electrical power.

TO RELIEVE PRESSURE

-3 VALVE 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) toward the backside of

the valve to allow pressure water to bleed out.

Catch the water with a rag.

DISASSEM BLY

To remove a part or group of parts, 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 parts are in place and in the proper

position. Lubricate ALL o-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 position. Tighten the screws using a

criss-cross pattern. If a torque wrench is available,

torque to 30-40 inch pounds.

Lubricate the gear on the motor, and the valve cam

gear with Molykote grease, or other high quality

gear lubricant.

Be sure to orient the switch as shown, with the

lever toward the cam.
