Safety Guides

p Read all steps and guides carefully before installing and using your new water softener. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Failure to follow them could cause personal injury or property damage. Reading this manual will also help you to get all the benefits from your water softener.
p Your Kenmore water softener will remove hardness minerals from water. This is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). It will also remove some clear water iron*. This is measured in parts per million (ppm). See the specifications page for the maximum limits of hardness and iron removal.
p A water softener will not improve other water problems such as acidity, tastes and odors, or iron other than clear water iron.
p Do not attempt to use this product to make safe drinking water from non-potable water sources. Do not use the system on microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
p Check with your local public works department for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow their guides as you install the system. Follow your local codes if they differ with guides in this manual. In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248-CMR 3.00 and 10.00 shall be adhered to. Consult with a licensed plumber.

p Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder connections, as required by federal codes, when installing soldered copper plumbing.
p Use care when handling the water softener. Do not turn upside down or drop.
p Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive heat may cause distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts.
p This water softener works on water pressures of 20 psi (minimum) to 125 psi (maximum). If your house water pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply pipe to the softener.
p Temperature of the water supply to the softener must be between 40�F and 120�F. Do not install on hot water.
p If installing the water softener outdoors, do not locate where it will be exposed to wet weather, direct sunlight or extreme hot or cold temperatures.
p This softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a direct plug-in transformer (included). Be sure to use the included transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced, use only the authorized service, Class II, 24V 10VA transformer.
* The capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by Water Quality Association test data.

European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment.

WHERE TO INSTALL THE WATER SOFTENER
Review the following points before you choose a place to put your softener: 1. Place as close as possible to, but always downstream
from, the pressure tank (well water) or water meter (city water). 2. Place as close as possible to a water drain such as a floor drain, laundry tub, sump or standpipe (See Fig. 4). 3. Connect to the house main water pipe UPSTREAM OF THE WATER HEATER (See Fig. 3). The temperature of water going through the softener must not be more than 120�F (49�C). Hot water will damage inner softener parts. To reduce the risk of hot water backup, piping between the softener and water heater should be as long as possible. 4. Keep outside faucets on hard water to save soft water and salt. See Fig. 4.

Figure 4
5. Do not install in a place where the softener could freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the warranty by Sears Brands Management Corporation.
6. Put the softener in a place where water damage is least likely to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the manufacturer will not repair or pay for water damage.
7. A grounded, 120V, 60 Hz. electrical outlet is needed within 10 feet of the softener to plug in the transformer (See Fig. 4). Be sure the outlet and transformer are in an inside location, protected from wet weather. Use a continuously "live" outlet, which cannot be accidentally switched off.
8. When installing in an outside location, you must take the steps necessary to assure the softener, installation plumbing, and wiring, are protected from the elements, direct sunlight, contamination, vandalism, etc.

Plan Your Installation

CHECK YOUR WATER PRESSURE BEFORE INSTALLING

For your water softener to work properly, incoming water pressure in your house pipes must be no lower than 20 pounds per square inch (psi). The highest allowable pressure is 125 psi. If pressure is above 125

psi, buy and install a pressure reducing valve in the pipe supplying water to the softener's inlet. NOTE: If water pressure during the day is 100 psi or
more, pressure during the night may go above 125 psi.

Installation

INSTALL SINGLE BYPASS VALVE AND/OR THREADED INSTALLATION ADAPTORS

Complete the following steps to assemble the adaptors and/or the included single bypass valve. 1. Close the shutoff valve on the house main water pipe,
near the water meter or pressure tank, to turn off the water.

SINGLE BYPASS VALVE: 6. Push the bypass valve into the softener valve's inlet
and outlet ports as far as it will go. Snap the two large holding clips into place, from the top down as shown (see Fig. 8).

2. Shut off the gas or electric supply to the water heater.

CAUTION: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so the bypass valve will not pull out.

3. Open the highest and lowest water faucets in your house. This will let water drain from the pipes. Close faucets after water has drained.
4. Remove the top cover. Remove the salt lid first and then pull outward on the two tabs to release top cover (see Fig. 5). Set both covers aside so they will not get scratched or broken.

Top Cover

INLET AND OUTLET THREADED ADAPTORS: 7. Push the adaptors into the valve inlet and outlet
ports, or bypass valve ports, as far as they will go. Both adaptors are the same and fit either port. Snap the two large holding clips into place, as shown (see Fig. 8). CAUTION: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so
the adaptors will not pull out.

Figure 5
5. Visually check and remove any foreign materials from the valve inlet and outlet ports (see Fig. 6). Carefully remove the two large plastic clips (you will use them). Check to be sure the turbine and support are firmly in place (see Fig. 7).
NOTE: If you will not install the included bypass valve because you will have a 3-valve bypass in your plumbing, skip step 6, but perform step 7.

Installation

CONNECT THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE
Take a length of 3/8" inside diameter drain tubing (supplied) and attach one end to the drain fitting (see Fig. 11). Use a tube clamp from the parts bag to hold it in place. Put the other end of the tubing over a floor drain, into a laundry tub, standpipe, or other suitable drain. Check your local codes. Leave an air gap of about 1-1/ 2'' between the end of the hose and the drain. This gap is needed so you don't get a backflow of sewer water into the softener. Do not put the end of the hose into the drain or connect without the air gap. Locate and support the hose so it does not kink or have sharp bends. Secure the hose end so water pressure does not cause the hose to "whip". Tie or wire it in place. Do not pinch the hose shut. The softener will not work if this drain hose is pinched, plugged, closed or restricted in any way. Direct drain flow down into drain from drain line as flow could possibly overshoot the drain cover. Keep the hose lower than the drain fitting. In some homes, to get to a drain you must raise the hose and run it overhead. Do not raise the hose more than 8 feet above the floor.

COPPER DRAIN TUBE: Local plumbing codes may require the use a copper valve drain tube. A copper tube is also best to use if running a drain line overhead. To adapt a copper drain tube to the softener, purchase a compression fitting (1/4'' female pipe threads x 1/2'' O.D. tube) and tubing from your local hardware store.
CONNECT SALT TANK OVERFLOW HOSE
1. Locate the rubber grommet, adaptor elbow and tube clamp (see Fig. 11) that are in the parts bag.
2. Push the grommet into the hole in the salt tank wall so that half is inside and half is outside.
3. Push the larger end of the adaptor into the grommet. 4. Push one end of a length of 3/8'' I.D. tubing (sup-
plied) onto the tube adaptor, using a tube clamp from the parts bag to hold it in place. 5. Put the other end of the tubing over the floor drain. IMPORTANT: Overflow water must run down by gravity
through the tubing. Do not raise the tubing higher than the adaptor (see Fig. 11). IMPORTANT: Do not connect this hose to the valve drain hose you just installed (see above). Both drains must have a separate hose.

Installation

LEAK TEST
To check for leaks, complete the following steps: CAUTION: To avoid water or air pressure damage to
softener inner parts, and to flush pipe chips or other residue from the water pipes, be sure to do the following steps exactly as instructed. 1. Fully open two nearby cold water faucets downstream from the softener. 2. Place bypass valve(s) in "bypass" position (see Figures 12 & 13). On a single valve, slide the stem inward to bypass. On a 3-valve bypass, close the inlet and outlet valves and open the bypass valve. 3. Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff valve. Observe steady water flow from both open faucets. 4. Place bypass valve(s) in SERVICE, EXACTLY as follows: Keep soft water faucets open. a. Single Bypass Valve: Slowly, slide pull the valve stem outward toward service, pausing several times to allow the softener to pressurize gradually. b. 3-Valve Bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the softener to pressurize gradually. 5. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet for about one minute, or until all air is expelled, then close. 6. Close both cold water faucets. 7. Check your plumbing work for leaks, and fix right away if any are found. Be sure to observe previous caution notes. NOTE: If this procedure is performed on a new softener, water coming from the taps may initially be discolored. This normally occurs the first time water runs through the resin bed. The discolored water is not harmful, and the discoloration will not last more than a few minutes.

Installation

INSTALL GROUNDING CLAMP
The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the home. To maintain this ground, use the ground clamp kit included in the parts bag. Install the ground clamp across the inlet and outlet metal pipes (see Fig. 14). Make sure good contact is made between the pipe and the clamps.
INSTALL COVERS
After installing your water softener, put the covers on. Angle the covers so the top cover clips onto the back first, then bring down in front and clip on the tabs inside the rim and lower the salt lid closed (See Fig. 5).
CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL POWER
The softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power. The included transformer changes standard 120 volt AC house power to 24 volts. You must plug the water softener's transformer into a grounded, 120 volt outlet only. Be sure the outlet is always "live" so it cannot be switched off by mistake. NOTE: The electrical outlet you plug the transformer
into must be indoors, protected from weather.
RESTART THE WATER HEATER
Turn on the gas (or electric) supply to the water heater and light the pilot.

1. Open salt lid, remove the brinewell cover and pour about 3 oz. (6 tablespoons) of household bleach into the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover.
2. Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the "service" (open) position.
3. Start a recharge: Press the REGENERATION button and hold for 3 seconds, until "RECHARGE NOW" begins to flash in the display. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach into and through the water softener. Any air remaining in the unit is purged to the drain.
4. After the recharge has completed, fully open a cold water faucet, downstream from the softener, and

allow 50 gallons of water to pass through the system. This should take at least 20 minutes. Close the faucet. Your new Sears softener is now softening the water for your household needs. However, your WATER HEATER is filled with hard water. To have fully soft water right away, you can drain the water heater so it refills with soft water. If you don't drain the water heater, it will take a few days before you have fully soft water. NOTE: If this procedure is performed on a new softener,
water coming from the taps may initially be discolored. This normally occurs the first time water runs through the resin bed. The discolored water is not harmful, and the discoloration will not last more than a few minutes.

Adding Salt to the Storage Tank

ADDING SALT TO THE STORAGE TANK
You must keep salt in the tank, but it is not necessary to fill it full. Especially in humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank no more than half full, and to add salt more often. Salt "bridging" occurs more often when conditions are humid. Use NUGGET or PELLET water softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and sediments that will stop the softener from working. To maintain optimum performance of your water softener, the salt tank should be cleaned out every 2 to 3 years.
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (KCl) SALT
If you choose Potassium Chloride (KCl) as a regenerant, following these suggestions will help give you years of maintenance free service. 1. Place only one bag of KCl in your softener at a time
(the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60 pounds of KCl at any one time). 2. A softener using KCl should not be placed in areas with temperature fluctuations and high humidity (KCl will harden in these environments and may make the softener inoperable). 3. Check the brine tank and brinewell (black tube in salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present, pour small amounts of warm water onto hardened areas until they loosen. 4. If your softener does not have a KCl salt setting, you must increase your hardness setting by 25% to ensure continuous soft water. See table at right.

Untreated Water Hardness (grains per gallon) 5 gpg 10 gpg 15 gpg 20 gpg 25 gpg 30 gpg 35 gpg 40 gpg

Softener Setting when using KCl salt (add 25%)
7 gpg 13 gpg 19 gpg 25 gpg 35 gpg 40 gpg 45 gpg 50 gpg

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, and you drank 3 quarts of softened water you would consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread.
WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON REMOVING ADDITIVES
Some salts have an additive to help the softener handle iron in the water supply. These salts may be used if your water supply has a high iron content. It is recommended to use Sears Water Softener Cleaner (refer to the parts list in back of manual for part number) for periodic treatments to keep your resin bed clean. This is available at your local Sears store.
Persons who are concerned about their drinking water should consider a Kenmore reverse osmosis drinking water system that will remove in excess of 90% of the sodium and other drinking water contaminants.

Controller Features

EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regeneration) 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 automatic regeneration. = You did not add salt to the softener before it ran out. Add salt to the softener before regenerating. You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can set the controller to regenerate at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
RECHARGE NOW
Press the REGENERATION button and hold for 3 seconds, until the words "RECHARGE NOW" begin to flash in the display. The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration immediately. This regeneration will take about 2 hours to complete. Then, you will have soft water again.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
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. NOTE: The salt monitor system estimates salt levels, and
accuracy will vary with different salts. To set this monitor system: 1. Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank. 2. The yellow salt level decal, on the brinewell inside
the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see Fig. 24). Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or closest to. 3. Press the SELECT button once, and the words "SET SALT LEVEL" should show in the display.

Figure 22 RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the REGENERATION button. "RECHARGE TONIGHT" will begin flashing in the display, and the softener will begin regeneration at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set). If you decide to cancel the regeneration before it starts, press and release the REGENERATION button once more. "RECHARGE TONIGHT" will stop flashing in the display.

Controller Features

EFFICIENCY MODE
When this feature is ON, the water softener will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of salt or higher. The softener may recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water. This softener is shipped with the efficiency feature set OFF. Installations in the state of California require this setting to be turned ON. To turn this feature ON: 1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the display
shows "000 - -".

BACKWASH & FAST RINSE TIMES
If you experience salty tasting water after regeneration, you may need to increase the backwash and fast rinse times. The cycle times during regenerations are determined by the softener's electronic controller. However, you may increase the backwash and fast rinse times, in 1 minute increments, as follows: 1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the display
shows "000 - -" (see Fig. 26). 2. Then press (do not hold) the SELECT button twice to
display the alternating screens shown in Figure 29.

Figure 26
2. Then press (do not hold) the SELECT button again. Use the r UP button to turn "ON".
Figure 27
3. Press SELECT several times to return to the normal run (time of day) screen. The efficiency icon will only be displayed when this feature is ON. Efficiency Icon
Figure 28 California Efficiency Requirement
Your Kenmore Water Softener has a "High Efficiency" feature that can be set ON or OFF. This softener is shipped with the efficiency feature set OFF, which will utilize the maximum rated capacity while most often achieving maximum salt efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State of California, you MUST turn the efficiency feature ON. The softener may initiate more frequent recharges, but it will operate at 4000 grains per pound of salt or higher.

Figure 29
3. Use the r UP button to add up to 15 minutes to the backwash time.
4. Press SELECT to display the alternating screens shown in Figure 30.
Figure 30
5. Use the r UP button to add up to 15 minutes to the fast rinse time.
6. Press SELECT to return to the normal run (time of day) screen.
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time display is blank but the electronic controller keeps the correct time for several hours. When electrical power comes on again, you will have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS, RECHARGE TIME and SALT LEVEL never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works 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.

Care of Your Water Softener

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.

Service Information

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 a long period. The softener resumes normal operation but regenerations occur at the wrong time.
= If an error code (example: "Err03") shows in the display, go to "Troubleshooting".
2. Are bypass valve(s) fully in service position?
3. Are the inlet and outlet pipes connected to the softener inlet and outlet respectively?
4. Is the softener's transformer plugged into a "live", grounded wall outlet, and the power cable fastened securely to the controller?

5. Is the valve drain hose free of kinks and sharp bends, and not elevated more than 8 ft. above the floor?
6. Is there salt in the storage tank? 7. Is the brine tubing connected? Brine tubing connects
to nozzle/venturi and brine valve assembly. 8. Press the SELECT button three times to display the
hardness setting. Make sure it is correct for the household's water supply. Perform a hardness test of the untreated incoming water and compare with the hardness setting. Also test a soft water sample to verify if a problem exists. Press the SELECT button twice more to return to present time display.

Service Information
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your water softener does not work properly, make the following easy checks. Often, you will find what is wrong yourself and you won't have to call and wait for service. If you do not find anything wrong while making the checks, and your softener still does not work properly, call your Sears Service Department.

PROBLEM
No soft water No soft water & display is blank
No soft water & salt level not dropping No soft water & salt storage tank full of water Intermittent hard water
Brine tank flooded
Salty tasting water immediately after regeneration Error code appears (example: "Err03")

CAUSE
No salt in the storage tank.
Transformer unplugged at wall outlet, or power cable disconnected from back of electronic board or transformer malfunction. Fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped, or circuit switched off (see "Power Outage Memory"). Salt storage tank "bridged". Bypass valve(s) in "bypass" position. Dirty, plugged or damaged nozzle & venturi assembly Valve drain hose is plugged or restricted.
Incorrect time set. Incorrect water hardness set.
Hot water being used when softener is regenerating.
Possible increase in water hardness.
Valve drain hose is plugged or restricted.
Dirty, plugged or damaged nozzle & venturi assembly. Backwash and fast rinse cycle times are not long enough. Valve drain hose is plugged or restricted.
Fault in electronic controller or wiring harness connections to position switch, position switch inoperable or motor inoperable.

CORRECTION
Add salt and then use RECHARGE NOW feature. Check for loss of power and correct. Reprogram electronic control and then use RECHARGE NOW feature. Replace fuse, reset circuit breaker, or switch circuit on, and then use RECHARGE NOW feature. Refer to "Breaking a Salt Bridge". Move bypass valve(s) to "service" position. Take apart, clean and inspect nozzle & venturi (see instruction decal under salt lid). Hose must not have any kinks, sharp bends or any water flow blockage (See "Valve Drain Requirements"). Check and change time setting. Refer to "Set Water Hardness Number" to set correctly. Avoid using hot water while the softener is regenerating, as the water heater will fill with hard water. Test untreated water for hardness and iron. Program the water softener accordingly (see "Set Water Hardness Number"). Hose must not have any kinks, sharp bends or any water flow blockage (See "Valve Drain Requirements"). Take apart, clean and inspect nozzle & venturi (see "Cleaning the Nozzle & Venturi"). Increase backwash & fast rinse times (see "Back Wash & Fast Rinse Times"). Hose must not have any kinks, sharp bends or any water flow blockage (see "Valve Drain Requirements"). Unplug power cord. Check all wiring connections to be sure they are secure. Plug in power cord and wait 6 minutes. If error code returns, call Kenmore Water Line.

MANUALLY INITIATED ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
1. To enter diagnostics, press and hold the SELECT button until "000 - -" shows in the display.

Motor

Figure 32
TURBINE OPERATION: If no water is flowing through the softener, the turbine indicator displays three zeros. When water is flowing, a 000 to 199 count repeats for each gallon of water passing through the turbine. To check for positive operation of the turbine if zeros are shown, open a nearby soft water faucet and observe the turbine count. If you don't get a reading in the display with faucet open, pull the sensor housing from the valve outlet port (see Fig. 34). Pass a small magnet back and forth in front of the sensor. You should get a reading in the display. If you get a reading, unhook the inlet and outlet plumbing and check the turbine for binding.
Figure 33
POSITION SWITCH STATUS: With the valve in service, or any of the recharge cycle positions, the position switch indicator will show two dashes (switch open). While the valve is rotating from one position to another, the position switch indicator will show the letter "P" (switch closed). There is likely a problem if indications vary from this pattern. OTHER INFORMATION: While in the diagnostics screen, the following information is available and may be beneficial for various reasons. This information is retained by the electronic controller from the first time electrical power is applied to the unit. = Press and hold the r UP button to display the num-
ber of days this controller has had electrical power applied. = Press and hold the s DOWN button to display the number of regenerations initiated by this controller since the model code number was entered.

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 first, and perform the manually initiated electronic diagnostics.
NOTE: The display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an error code shows, first press the SELECT button to enter the diagnostic display.
1. Press the REGENERATION button and hold in for 3 seconds. "RECHARGE NOW" begins to flash in the display as the softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration.
2. When valve reaches "Fill" position, remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank.
3. If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.
4. After observing fill, press the REGENERATION button to move the softener into brining. 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.
5. If the softener does not draw brine: = nozzle and/or venturi dirty = nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket = restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose) = ineffective nozzle and venturi seal = other inner valve problem (rotor seal, rotor & disc, wave washer, etc.)
