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 to prevent air
breaks and back flow.

Bypass Valves
Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve if unit is
not equipped with one.

CAUTION Water pressure is not to exceed 125 psi (8.6 bar),

water temperature is not to exceed 110°F (43°C),
and the unit cannot be subjected to
freezing conditions.

Features of the SXT:

• Power backup that continues to keep time and the
passage of days for a minimum of 48 hours in the event
of power failure. During a power outage, the control
goes into a power-saving mode. It does not monitor
water usage during a power failure, but it does store the
volume remaining at the time of power failure.
• Settings for both valve (basic system) and control type
(method used to trigger a regeneration).
• Day-of-the-Week controls.
• While in service, the display alternates between time of
day, volume remaining or days to regeneration, and tank
in service (twin tank systems only).
• The Flow Indicator flashes when outlet flow is detected.
• The Service Icon flashes if a regeneration cycle has
been queued.
• A Regeneration can be triggered immediately by
pressing the Extra Cycle button for five seconds.
• The Parameter Display displays the current Cycle Step
(BW, BF, RR, etc) during regeneration, and the data
display counts down the time remaining for that cycle
step. While the valve is transferring to a new cycle step,
the display will flash. The parameter display will identify
the destination cycle step (BW, BF, RR, etc) and the data
display will read “----”. Once the valve reaches the cycle
step, the display will stop flashing and the data display
will change to the time remaining. During regeneration,
the user can force the control to advance to the next
cycle step immediately by pressing the extra
cycle button.
