Safety Guides
The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow). If your home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes and laws. The water 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 in a dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. Power consumption is 13.5 W maximum and 1.0 W typical. If transformer is replaced, use only UL, CUL or CSA approved Class 2 transformer with the following specifications: Input: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 13.5 W Output Voltage: 24 VAC Output Current: 400 mA Do not use this system to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection upstream or downstream of the system.

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.

In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation. In the state of California: You must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature setting to ON. This may initiate more frequent recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher. To turn on the Salt Efficiency Feature, follow the instructions in the Salt Efficiency section of this manual.

IRON

Water Conditioning Information

Iron in water can cause stains on clothing and plumbing fixtures. It can negatively affect the taste of food, drinking water, and other beverages. Iron in water is measured in parts per million (ppm). The total* ppm of iron, and type or types*, is determined by chemical analysis. Four different types of iron in water are: Ferrous (clear water) iron Ferric (red water) iron Bacterial and organically bound iron Colloidal and inorganically bound iron (ferrous or ferric)

immediately when drawn from a faucet because it has oxidized before reaching the home. It appears as small cloudy yellow, orange, or reddish suspended particles. After the water stands for a period of time, the particles settle to the bottom of the container. Generally these irons are removed from water by filtration. Chlorination is also recommended for bacterial iron.

Ferrous (clear water) iron is soluble and dissolves in water. This water softener will reduce moderate amounts of this type of iron (see specifications).** Ferrous (clear water) iron is usually detected by taking a sample of water in a clear bottle or glass. Immediately after taking, the sample is clear. As the water sample stands, it gradually clouds and turns slightly yellow or brown as air oxidizes the iron. This usually occurs in 15 to 30 minutes. When using the softener to reduce Ferrous (clear water) iron, add 5 grains to the hardness setting for every 1 ppm of Ferrous (clear water) iron. See "Set Water Hardness Number" section.

Sediment is fine, foreign material particles suspended in water. This water softener will not remove sediment. This material is most often clay or silt. Extreme amounts of sediment may give the water a cloudy appearance. A sediment filter installed upstream of the water softener normally corrects this situation. * Water may contain one or more of the four types of iron and any combination of these. Total iron is the sum of the contents.

SEDIMENT

Colloidal and inorganically bound iron is of ferric or ferrous form that will not filter or exchange out of water. This water softener will not remove colloidal iron. In some instances, treatment may improve colloidal iron water. Colloidal iron water usually has a yellow appearance when drawn. After standing for several hours, the color persists and the iron does not settle, but remains suspended in the water.

Ferric (red water), and bacterial and organically bound irons are insoluble. This water softener will not remove ferric or bacterial iron. This iron is visible 5

** Capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by WQA test data.

Installation Requirements
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Consider all of the following when selecting an installation location for the water softener. Do not locate the water softener where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120F. Freezing temperatures or hot water damage voids the warranty.

PLUMBING CODES
All plumbing must be completed in accordance with national, state and local plumbing codes. In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation.

A nearby drain is needed to carry away regeneration discharge (drain) water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub, sump, standpipe, or other options (check your local codes). See "Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve Drain Requirements" sections.

To condition all water in the home, install the water softener close to the water supply inlet, and upstream of all other plumbing connections, except outside water pipes. Outside faucets should remain on hard water to avoid wasting conditioned water and salt.

AIR GAP REQUIREMENTS

A drain is needed for regeneration water (See Figure 3). A floor drain, close to the water softener, is preferred. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc. are other drain options. Secure valve drain hose in place. Leave an air gap of 1-1/2 between the end of the hose and the drain. This gap is needed to prevent backflow of sewer water into the water softener. Do not put the end of the drain hose into the drain.
Drain Hose Drain Hose Drain Hose

Always install the water softener between the water inlet and water heater. Any other installed water conditioning equipment should be installed between the water inlet and water softener (See Figure 4 below). Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to nonmetallic parts.

The water softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a direct plug-in transformer (included). Provide an electrical outlet within 10 feet, in accordance with NEC and local codes.

VALVE DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
Using the flexible drain hose (included), measure and cut to the length needed. Flexible drain hose is not allowed in all localities (check your plumbing codes). If local codes do not allow use of a flexible drain hose, a rigid valve drain run must be used. Purchase a compression fitting (1/4 NPT x 1/2 in. minimum tube) and 1/2" tubing from your local hardware store. Plumb a rigid drain as needed (See Figure 6). NOTE: Avoid drain hose runs longer than 30 feet. Avoid elevating the hose more than 8 feet above the floor. Make the valve drain line as short and direct as possible.

Installation Instructions
COMPLETE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING
Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet ports of the water softener valve. Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared and straight. Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water softener valve inlet side. NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the water softener valve. Trace the water flow direction to be sure hard water is to inlet. 1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8" drain line (provided) to the salt storage tank overflow elbow and secure in place with a hose clamp.

INSTALL SALT STORAGE TANK OVERFLOW HOSE

Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type of pipe you will be using.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the water softener valve inlet and outlet. Stress from misaligned or unsupported plumbing may cause damage to the valve.

2 Route the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable drain point no higher than the drain fitting on the salt storage tank (This is a gravity drain). If the tank overfills with water, the excess water flows to the drain point. Cut the drain line to the desired length and route it neatly out of the way.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the water softener, do not connect the water softener valve drain tubing to the salt storage tank overflow hose.

TEST FOR LEAKS

COLD WATER PIPE GROUNDING

CAUTION: The house cold water pipe (metal only) is often used as a ground for the house electrical system, The 3-valve bypass type of installation, shown in Figure 8, will maintain ground continuity. If you use a plastic bypass valve at the unit, continuity is broken. To restore the ground, do the following: 1. Install the included metal ground clamp across the removed section of main water pipe, securely tightening the hardware at the center (See Figure 13).

To prevent air pressure in the water softener and plumbing system, complete the following steps in order:

1. Fully open two or more softened cold water faucets close to the water softener, located downstream from the water softener. 3. Slowly open the main water supply valve. Run water until there is a steady flow from the opened faucets, with no air bubbles. 2. Place the bypass valve (single or 3 valve) into the "bypass" position. See Figures 7 & 8 on Page 7.

4. Place bypass valve(s) in "service" or soft water position as follows: Single bypass valve: Slowly move the valve stem toward "service," pausing several times to allow the water softener to fill with water. 3 valve bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the water softener to fill with water.

NOTE: Check local plumbing and electrical codes for proper installation of the ground wire. The installation must conform to them. In Massachusetts, plumbing codes of Massachusetts shall be conformed to. Consult with your licensed plumber. Ground Clamp

7. Check for leaks around clips at softeners inlet and outlet. If a leak occurs at a clip, depressurize the plumbing (turn off the water supply and open faucets) before removing clip. When removing clips at the softeners inlet or outlet, push the single bypass valve body toward the softener (See Figure 14). Improper removal may damage clips. Do not reinstall damaged clips.

6. Close all cold water faucets and check for leaks at the plumbing connections that you made.

5. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet until there is a steady flow and there are no air bubbles, then close this faucet.

Installation Instructions
If removing clips...

PLUG IN THE WATER SOFTENER

During installation, the water softener wiring may be moved or jostled from place. Be sure all leadwire connectors are secure on the back of the electronic board and be sure all wiring is away from the valve gear and motor area, which rotates during regenerations. ...depressurize the plumbing, then push Bypass Valve body toward softener NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it will refill with conditioned water. In a few days, the hot water will be fully conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot water immediately, wait until the initial recharge is over. Then, drain the water heater (following instructions for water heater) until water runs cold. 1. Plug the water softener into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a switch.

FIG. 14

ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE SALT STORAGE TANK

2. Add salt to the storage tank. Use nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities. 1. Using a container, add about three gallons of clean water into the salt storage tank.

PROGRAM THE CONTROLLER

1. Complete the Programming Steps on Pages 12 & 13.

SANITIZE THE WATER SOFTENER / SANITIZE AFTER SERVICE

Care is taken at the factory to keep your unit clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the unit will not infect or contaminate your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage, installation and operation, bacteria could get into the unit. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested* when installing. 1. Slide open the salt lid, remove the brinewell cover and pour about 3 oz. (6 tablespoons) of household bleach into the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover.

START A RECHARGE
1. Press the RECHARGE 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 unit. Any air remaining in the unit is purged to the drain.

RESTART THE WATER HEATER

1. Turn on the electricity or fuel supply to the water heater and relight the pilot, if applicable.

2 Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the service (open) position.

*Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some

water supplies, the unit may need periodic disinfecting.

3. The sanitizing procedure will be completed when the first recharge cycle is run and sanitizing solution is flushed from the water softener.

NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it refills with conditioned water. In a few days, the hot water will be fully conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot water immediately, wait until the initial recharge (previous step) is over. Then, drain the water heater (following instructions for water heater) until water runs cold.

Customizing Features / Options

RECHARGE NOW
At times of greater than normal water use, such as when you have guests, you could run out of conditioned water before the next scheduled recharge. If this happens, you may want to initiate an immediate regeneration, as follows: 1. Press and hold the RECHARGE button until the words RECHARGE NOW" flash in the display.

POWER OUTAGE MEMORY

If electrical power to the water softener is lost, memory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep all settings for up to six hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the water softener will not regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur.

RECHARGE NOW initiated

FIG. 21

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 clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener operates 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. NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right away. RECHARGE NOW will flash during the regeneration. When completed (in about 2 hours), full water conditioning capacity is restored. NOTE: Avoid using hot water while the softener is regenerating, because the water heater will refill with bypass hard water.

RECHARGE TONIGHT
If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but would like an extra recharge at the next preset recharge time, do the following to schedule a recharge: 1. Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE button.

Customizing Features / Options

SALT EFFICIENCY
When this feature is ON, the water softener will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of salt or higher (May recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water). The softener is shipped with this feature set OFF.

CALIFORNIA EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENT

Your EcoPure Water Softener has a High Efficiency feature with an ON or OFF setting. This softener setting is shipped in the OFF position, which utilizes the maximum rated capacity while most often achieving maximum salt efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State of California, you MUST turn this setting to the ON position, which may initiate more frequent recharges. However it will operate at 4000 grains per pound of salt or higher. If you wish to turn the Salt Efficiency feature ON ( icon will show in the display), follow the instructions on this page.

FIG. 23
1. Press and hold the SELECT / MENU button until the screen in Figure 23 is displayed. Once in this display, press the SELECT / MENU button once and one of the two displays in Figure 24 is shown. Efficiency Icon

When you call, please be prepared to provide the model, date code and serial number, found on the rating decal, typically located on the rim below the salt lid hinges. 15

Routine Maintenance
Slide open the salt lid and check the salt storage level frequently. If the water softener uses all the salt before you refill it, you will experience hard water. Until you have established a refilling routine, check the salt every two or three weeks. Always add if less than 1/4 full. Be sure the brinewell cover is on. NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt storage level lower, and to refill more often to avoid salt bridging. Recommended Salt: Nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities. Salt Not Recommended: Rock salt, high in impurities, block, granulated, table, ice melting, ice cream making salts, etc.

ADDING SALT

CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle & venturi (See Figure 27) is a necessity for the water softener to work properly. This small component creates the suction to move brine from the brine tank, into the resin tank. If it should become plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the water softener will not work, and hard water will result. Cap

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.

To get access to the nozzle & venturi, remove the water softeners top cover. Put the bypass valve(s) into the bypass position. Be sure the water softener is in soft water (service) cycle (no water pressure at nozzle & venturi). Then, holding the nozzle & venturi housing with one hand, unscrew the cap. Do not lose the o-ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen. Then, remove the nozzle & venturi disc, gasket and flow plug(s). Wash the parts in warm, soapy water and rinse in fresh water. Be sure to clean both the top and bottom of the nozzle & venturi disc. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Do not scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces of the nozzle & venturi. Gently replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease and locate in place. Install and tighten the cap by hand, while supporting the housing. Overtightening may break the cap or housing. Put the bypass valve(s) into service (soft water) position. Recharge the softener to reduce water level in the tank. This will also assure that the softener is completely recharged and ready to provide softened water again. Check the water level in the tank by looking down the brinewell. If the water level does not drop after a recharge, the problem has not been resolved. Call 1-800-693-1138, Monday - Friday, 7 am to 6 pm, CST.

Routine Maintenance
PROTECT THE WATER 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: 2. Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent pressure in the softener. 1. Close the shut-off valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank.

5. Carefully remove the large holding clips at the softener inlet and outlet. Separate the softener from the plastic installation adaptors, or from the bypass valve. 7. Move the softener close to the drain. Slowly and gently, tip it over until the rim rests on the wood block with the inlet and outlet over the drain. Do not allow the softeners weight to rest on the inlet and outlet fittings or they may break. 6. Lay a piece of 2 inch thick board near the floor drain (See Figure 28).

4. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet. Slide open the salt lid and remove the softeners top cover. Take off both drain hoses if they will interfere with moving the softener into position over the drain.

3. Move the stem in the single bypass valve to bypass. Close the inlet and outlet valve in a 3 valve bypass system, and open the bypass valve. If you want water in the house pipes again, reopen the shut-off valve on the main water pipe.

PROBLEM

No soft water & display is blank

1. No salt in the storage tank.

CAUSE

1. Transformer unplugged at wall outlet, or power cable disconnected from back of electronic board or transformer malfunction. 2. Fuse blown, circuit breaker popped, or circuit switched off (See Power Outage Memory on Page 14).

Refill with salt and then use RECHARGE NOW feature. Check for loss of power and correct. Reset electronic controls and then use RECHARGE NOW feature.

CORRECTION

Replace fuse, reset circuit breaker, or switch circuit on, and then use RECHARGE NOW feature. Replace electronic control board (See Page 23). Move bypass valve(s) to service position. Replace seals and rotor. Refer to Breaking a Salt Bridge section to break. Take apart, clean and inspect nozzle & venturi (See Cleaning the Nozzle & Venturi section. Hose must not have any kinks, sharp bends or any water flow blockage (See Valve Drain Requirements section. Disconnect tee and run separate drain lines. If pressure is low, increase well pump output to a minimum 20 psi. If daytime pressure is over 100 psi, add a pressure reducing valve in the supply pipe to the softener. Contact a licensed plumber. Clean or replace Brine Valve Float Assembly.* Check and change time setting. Replace o-rings between resin tank and valve. Refer to Set Water Hardness section to set correctly.

Troubleshooting
AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
This water softener has a self-diagnostic function for the electrical system (except input power and/or water meter). The water softener monitors electronic components and circuits for correct operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code appears in the display. NOTE: If you don't get a reading in the display with faucet open, pull the sensor from the valve outlet port. Pass a small magnet back and forth in front of the sensor. If you get a reading in the display with the magnet, unhook the in and out plumbing and check the turbine for binding (See Figure 30). Motor

FIG. 29
The troubleshooting chart shows the error codes that could appear, and the possible malfunctions for each code.

Sensor Housing Position Switch Valve Outlet Turbine Turbine Support & Shaft

While an error code appears in the display, all buttons are inoperable except the SELECT / MENU button. SELECT / MENU remains operational so the service person can perform the Manual Advance Diagnostics, see below, to further isolate the problem.

FIG. 30

Procedure for removing error code from display:

1. Unplug transformer from electrical outlet. 2. Correct problem. 3. Plug in transformer.

3. The letter P and a dash (or dashes) indicate POSITION switch operation (See Figure 31). If the letter appears, the switch is closed. If the dash shows, the switch is open. Water Meter Switch

4. Wait 6 minutes. The error code will return if the problem was not corrected.

MANUAL ADVANCE DIAGNOSTICS

Use the following procedures to advance the water softener through the regeneration cycles to check operation.

FIG. 31
4. Use the RECHARGE button to manually advance the valve into each cycle and check correct switch operation.

Slide open the salt lid and remove the softeners top cover to observe cam and switch operation during valve rotation. 2. The 3 digits indicate water meter operation as follows: Open a nearby soft water faucet.

1. Press and hold SELECT / MENU for 3 seconds until 000 shows in the display, then release. 000 (steady) = Soft water not in use, and no flow through the meter. Model EP 7130: 000 to 199 (continual) = Repeats for each gallon of water passing through the meter.

5. While in this diagnostic screen, the following information is available and may be beneficial for various reasons. This information is retained by the computer from the first time electrical power is applied to the electronic controller.

NOTE: Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge (See "Breaking A Salt Bridge" section).

Model EP 7140: 000 to 140 (continual) = Repeats for each gallon of water passing through the meter.

Troubleshooting
6. Press and hold the SELECT / MENU button until the model code (E7130 for Model EP 7130 or E7140 for Model EP 7140) shows in the display. This code identifies the softener model. If an incorrect model code is displayed, the softener will operate on incorrect configuration data. 2. After observing fill, press the RECHARGE 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. This may take 15 to 20 minutes to notice. NOTE: Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge (See "Breaking A Salt Bridge" section). Dirty or plugged nozzle and venturi, see "Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi" section

FIG. 32
7. To change the code number, press the UP or DOWN button until the correct code shows. 8. To return to the present time display, press the SELECT / MENU button.

If the water softener does not draw brine, check for (most likely to least likely): Nozzle and venturi not seated on the gasket, or gasket deformed

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, and the manual initiated diagnostics.

Restriction in valve drain, causing a back-pressure (bends, kinks, elevated too high, etc.). See "Install Valve Drain Hose" section. Inner valve failure (obstructed outlet disc, wave washer deformed, etc.) Obstruction in brine valve or brine tubing

NOTE: The electronic control display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an error code shows, first press the SELECT / MENU button to enter the diagnostic display.

NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an elevated drain hose may cause back pressure, stopping brine draw.

3. Again, press the RECHARGE button to move the softener into backwash. Look for a fast flow of water from the drain hose.

1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE 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. If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.

5. To return the softener to service, press the RECHARGE button.

4. Press the RECHARGE button 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.

An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.
