IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

The information, specifications and illustrations in this manual are based on the latest information available at the time of
printing. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice.

This manual is intended as a guide for service of the valve only. System installation requires information from a number of
suppliers not known at the time of manufacture. This product should be installed by a plumbing professional.

This unit is designed to be installed on potable water systems only.

This product must be installed in compliance with all state and municipal plumbing and electrical codes. Permits may be
required at the time of installation.

If daytime operating pressure exceeds 80 psi, nighttime pressures may exceed pressure limits. A pressure reducing valve must
be installed.

Do not install the unit where temperatures may drop below 32F (0C) or above 125F (52C).

Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. Black units will absorb radiant heat increasing internal temperatures.

Do not strike the valve or any of the components.

Warranty of this product extends to manufacturing defects of the vessel and controller, not the membrane. Misapplication of this
product may result in failure to properly condition water, or damage to product.

A prefilter should be used on installations in which free solids are present.

In some applications local municipalities treat water with Chloramines. High Chloramine levels may damage valve components.

Correct and constant voltage must be supplied to the control valve to maintain proper function.

General Commercial Pre-Installation Check List

WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate
effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: A continuous 115 volt, 60 Hertz current supply is required. (Other voltages available.)
Make certain the current supply is always hot and cannot be turned off with another switch.
EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is
built up heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit
should be installed ahead of the water softener.
LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN: The softener should be located close to a drain.
BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve.
CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 120 p.s.i., water temperature is not to exceed 100F, and the unit cannot be subjected to freezing conditions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a firm base.
(Maximum 7 feet apart for twin units.)
2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should
be the same size as the drain line flow control connection. Water meters are to be installed on soft water
outlets. Twin units with (1) one meter shall be installed on common soft water outlet of units.
3. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level.
4. Place approximately 1 of water above the grid plate (if used) in your salt tank Salt may be placed in the
unit at this time.
5. Place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a
few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from
the installation.
6. Place the by-pass in service position.
7. Manually index the softener control into service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When
water flow stops, close inlet valve, place control in backwash position to relieve head of air, then gradually
open inlet valve to purge remaining air in tank. Return control to service position.
8. Electrical: All electrical connections must be connected according to codes. Use electrical conduit if
applicable. Plug into power supply.

3200 Timer Setting Procedure

How To Set Days On Which Water Conditioner Is To
Regenerate:
Rotate the skipper wheel until the number 1 is at the
red pointer. Set the days that regeneration is to occur
by sliding tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose
trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is
tonight. Moving clockwise from the red pointer, extend or
retract fingers to obtain the desired regeneration schedule.
How To Set The Time Of Day:
1. Press and hold the red button in to disengage the

drive gear.
2. Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is at

the time of day pointer.
3. Release the red button to again engage the drive

gear.
How To Manually Regenerate Your Water
Conditioner At Any Time:
1. Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise.
2. This slight movement of the manual regeneration

knob engages the program wheel and starts the

regeneration program.
3. The black center knob will make one revolution in

the following approximately three hours and stop in

the position shown in the drawing.
4. Even though it takes three hours for this center knob

to complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of

your unit might be set only one half of this time.
5. In any event, conditioned water may be drawn after

rinse water stops flowing from the water

conditioner drain line.
How to Adjust Regeneration Time:
1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Locate the three screws behind the manual

regeneration knob by pushing the red button in and

rotating the 24 hour dial until each screw appears in

the cut out portion of the manual regeneration knob.
3. Loosen each screw slightly to release the pressure

on the time plate from the 24 hour gear.
4. Locate the regeneration time pointer on the inside

of the 24 hour dial in the cut out.
5. Turn the time plate so the desired regeneration time

aligns next to the raised arrow.
6. Push the red button in and rotate the 24 hour dial.

Tighten each of the three screws.
7. Push the red button and locate the pointer one more

time to ensure the desired regeneration time

is correct.
8. Reset the time of day and restore power to the unit.

3200 & 3210 Timer Series

Regeneration Cycle Program Setting Procedure
How To Set The Regeneration Cycle Program:
The regeneration cycle program on your water conditioner has been factory preset, however, portions of
the cycle or program may be lengthened or shortened
in time to suit local conditions.
3200 & 3210 Series Timers (Figure to Right)
1. To expose cycle program wheel, grasp timer in
upper left-hand corner and pull, releasing snap
retainer and swinging timer to the right.
2. To change the regeneration cycle program, the
program wheel must be removed. Grasp program
wheel and squeeze protruding lugs toward center, lift program wheel off timer. (Switch arms may
require movement to facilitate removal)
3. Return timer to closed position engaging snap
retainer in back plate. Make certain all electrical
wires locate above snap retainer post.

Timer Setting Procedure for the 3200 &

3210 Timers
How To Change The Length Of The Backwash
Time:
The program wheel as shown in the drawing is in the
service position. As you look at the numbered side of
the program wheel, the group of pins starting at zero
determines the length of time your unit will backwash.
EXAMPLE: If there are six pins in this section, the time
of backwash will be 12 min. (2 min. per pin). To change
the length of backwash time, add or remove pins as
required. The number of pins times two equals the
backwash time in minutes.
How To Change The Length Of Brine And Rinse
Time:
1. The group of holes between the last pin in the
backwash section and the second group of pins
determines the length of time that your unit will
brine and rinse (2 min. per hole.)
2. To change the length of brine and rinse time, move
the rapid rinse group of pins to give more or fewer
holes in the brine and rinse section. Number of
holes times two equals brine and rinse time in
minutes.

Page 

How To Change The Length Of Rapid Rinse:

1. The second group of pins on the program wheel
determines the length of time that your water conditioner will rapid rinse. (2 min. per pin.)
2. To change the length of rapid rinse time, add or
remove pins at the higher numbered end of this
section as required. The number of pins times two
equals the rapid rinse time in minutes.
How To Change The Length Of Brine Tank Refill
Time:
1. The second group of holes in the program wheel
determines the length of time that your water conditioner will refill the brine tank (2 min. per hole.)
2. To change the length of refill time, move the two
pins at the end of the second group of holes as
required.
3. The regeneration cycle is complete when the outer
microswitch is tripped by the two pin set at end of
the brine tank refill section.
4. The program wheel, however, will continue to rotate
until the inner micro-switch drops into the notch on
the program wheel.

Commercial Demand Regeneration Control Timer Settings

Typical Programming Procedure
Calculate the gallon capacity of the system, subtract
the necessary reserve requirement and set the gallons
available opposite the small white dot on the program
wheel gear.
NOTE: Drawing shows 8,750 gallon setting. The
capacity (gallons) arrow denotes remaining gallons
exclusive of fixed reserve.
How To Set The Time Of Day:
1. Press and hold the red button in to disengage the
drive gear.
2. Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is
opposite the time of day pointer.
3. Release the red button to again engage the drive
gear.

How To Manually Regenerate Your Water Conditioner At Any Time:

1. Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise.
2. This slight movement of the manual regeneration
knob engages the program wheel and starts the
regeneration program.
3. The black center knob will make one revolution in
the following approximately three hours and stop in
the position shown in the drawing.
4. Even though it takes three hours for this center
knob to complete one revolution, the regeneration
cycle of your unit might be set for only one half of
this time.
5. In any event, conditioned water may be drawn after
rinse water stops flowing from the water conditioner
drain line.
Immediate Regeneration Timers:
These timers do not have a 24 hour gear. Setting the
gallons on the program wheel and manual regeneration
procedure are the same as previous instructions.

NOTE: To set meter capacity rotate

manual knob one - 360 revolution
to set gallonage.
