APPLICATION

Waterquality - Verify that raw water hardness and iron are within limits. Note the hardness for setting the salt

dosage and recharge frequency.

Pressure - If pressure exceeds 125 psi (860 kPa), install a pressure reducing valve (see materials checklist). On

private water systems, make sure the minimum pressure (the pressure at which the pump starts) is greater than 20

psi (140 kPa).Adjust the pressure switch if necessary.

CAUTION: The use of a pressure reducing valve may limit the flow of water in the

household.

Preparation

4CULLIGANSILVERSERIES™WATERSOFTENER

PREPARATION 5

Temperature- Do not install the unit where it might freeze, or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct sunlight.

LOCATION

Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines and 4 feet (1.3

meters) above for service access and filling the salt container.

Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of bumps or irregularities. Bumps, cracks, stones and

otherirregularitiescan causethe saltstorage tankbottomto crackwhen filledwith saltand water.

Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer

tothe Drain Line Chart,Table1 (page 10), formaximum drainline length.

NOTICE: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or airgap. Observe all local plumbing codes and drain

restrictions. The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regulations.

Electricalfacilities -A10-foot cord and wall mount plug-in transformer are provided. The customer should provide

a receptacle, preferably one not controlled by a switch that can be turned off accidentally. Observe local electrical

codes.

PLACEMENT

Refer to Figure 1 for system placement.

• Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water, drain and electrical facilities. Place the outlet (black

coupling) of the tank on the left.

• Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface as near the media tank as possible.

MOUNT THE CONTROL VALVE

See Figure 2 for a visual on mounting the control valve to the tank.

• Remove and discard the protective covers on the tank couplings.

• Lubricate the o-rings on the tank couplings with silicone lubricant.

• Place the control on the tank couplings and press down firmly.

NOTICE: The white tank coupling is the inlet, and should be located on the inlet side (right side) of the control.

• Install the u-clamps on both sides of the control and secure with the screws.

TWELVE INCH SOFTENERS

As shipped from the factory, each control is equipped as a 9-inch unit. A12-inch eductor nozzle and backwash flow

control are included with each unit for conversion for use with the 12-inch tanks.

NOTICE: To prevent injury, convert unit to a twelve-inch configuration prior to installation.

Refer to Figure 3 for a visual on changing the eductor nozzle and the backwash flow control.

Eductor Nozzle Replacement:

• Remove the three screws on the eductor cap and remove the cap.

• Remove the eductor assembly.

• Remove the eductor screen from the assembly

• Remove the blue nozzle and replace it with the beige nozzle. Make sure to put the o-ring on the beige nozzle.

• Reverse the procedure to reassemble. To prevent leaks, ensure that the gasket is in the proper position.

Backwash Flow Control Replacement:

• Remove the drain clip and pull the drain elbow straight off.

• Remove the backwash flow control located behind the elbow. Put the #3 restrictor in its place.

NOTICE: The number on the flow control should face into the valve body.

• Reverse the procedure to reassemble.

PLUMBINGCONNECTIONS

Two methods of connecting the water softener to the plumbing system are available. Shipped with each softener is

a Culligan®Cul-Flo-Valv®bypass valve, either PN 01-0124-88 or 01-0102-38, which is used to connect the softener

to the plumbing system. The bypass allows the softener to be isolated from the water service line if service is

necessary while still providing water to the house. If local conditions warrant, you may use the sweat adaptor kits,

PN00-3314-44or00-3314-45.

NOTICE: The Soft-Minder®meter cannot be used with the sweat adaptors.

CAUTION:Close the inlet supply line and relieve system pressure before

cutting into the plumbing! Flooding could result!

CAUTION: When making sweat connections, remove all plastic and rubber

components which contact brass or copper. Damage to these components may

resultotherwise.

BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION

AQUA-SENSOR®SENSING DEVICEAND TIME CLOCK UNITS ONLY

The bypass valve connects directly to the backplate of the valve with a pair of couplings and screws (Figure 4). To

facilitate this connection, remove the plate by pulling up on the u-clip on the back of the valve. Lubricate all o-rings

with silicone lubricant.

BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION

SOFT-MINDER®METER ONLY

The Soft-Minder meter is placed between the bypass valve and the control in place of the couplings shipped with

the Cul-Flo-Valv®(Figure 5). Make sure the meter is on the outlet port of the control and that it is installed with the

arrow pointing in the direction of water flow. A pair of elongated bolts are packaged with the meter to hold the

bypass valve to the back plate of the control. Lubricate all o-rings with silicone lubricant.

SWEATADAPTOR INSTALLATION

The sweat adaptors use a snap ring to hold them to the backplate of the control valve. The back plate will need to

be removed from the valve for this connection. A pair of snap ring pliers, PN 00-5916-09, are needed for this

connection.

CAUTION: When reinstalling back plate to control valve, make sure the u-clip

fully engages the two bottom holes of the bracket (Figure 6). Secure bracket from

the top with the two mounting screws provided.

CONNECTTHEBRINELINE

Refer to Figures 6 & 7.

• Use the length of brine line included in the brine tank, or measure a length of brine line sufficient to reach from the

brine tank to the brine fitting, with no sharp bends. For easier access to the float it is recommended to add an extra

four feet (1.3 meters) of length to the brine line. Cut both ends of the brine line squarely and cleanly.

• Remove the brine valve from the brine tank and then remove the white nut and insert from the float rod. Return

float rod to its original position.

• Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the plastic insert into the end of the tubing (Figure 7).

Connect to the brine valve and tighten nut.

• Remove white nut from the brine connection, and remove the plastic insert from the brine connection fitting.

• Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the plastic insert into the end of the tubing (Figure 7).

Connect to the brine connection on the valve and tighten nut (Figure 6).

DRAINLINE CONNECTION

Refer to Table 1, page 10 under the applicable tank size for drain line length and height limitations, and to Figure 3.

• Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.

• Route a length of 1/2” drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.

• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.

• Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a sink, or open floor

drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will reduce splashing at the beginning of each

regeneration.
