PREPARATION / 3

Threading tools, pipe wrenches and thread sealer for threaded connections Saw, solvent and cement for plastic pipe connections Materials Brine line, 5/16" (PN 00-3031-28 or equivalent) Drain line, 1/2" (PN 00-3030-82, gray, semi-flexible; or PN 00-3319-46, black, semi-rigid; or equivalent) Thread sealing tape Pressure reducing valve (if pressure exceeds 125 psi [860 kPa], PN 00-4009-00 or equivalent) Pipe and fittings suited to the type of installation Water softener salt (rock, solar or pellet salt formulated specifically for water softeners) BYPASS VALVES A bypass valve is included with the control valve assembly.

Water quality - 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.

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 other irregularities can cause the salt storage tank bottom to crack when filled with salt and water. Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer to the Drain Line Chart, Table 1 (page ---), for maximum drain line length.

NOTICE: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or airgap. Electrical facilities - A 6-foot grounded cord is provided. The customer should provide a 3-prong grounded receptacle, preferably one not controlled by a switch that can be turned off accidentally. Observe local electrical codes. WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG! IF THE RECEPTACLE IS DESIGNED ONLY FOR 2-PRONG PLUGS, OBTAIN A 3-PRONG ADAPTER AND GROUND IT SECURELY TO THE RECEPTACLE. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.

 Place brine valve into the chamber. The top of the valve should rest within the groove of the brine chamber. MOUNT THE CONTROL VALVE See Fig. 2. Remove and discard the protective covers on the tank couplings. Position the light colored tank coupling to the right. This is the inlet side of the tank. WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY POSITION TANK WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF MEDIA. Lubricate the o-rings on the tank couplings with silicon lubricant. Place the control on the tank couplings and press down firmly. Install the u-clamps on both sides of the control and secure with the screws. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS 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 00-3314-42 or 00-3314-46. If local conditions warrant, you may use the sweat adaptor kits, PN 00-3314-44 or 00-3314-45. 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 result otherwise. BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION The bypass valve connects directly to the backplate of the valve with a pair of screws (Fig. 3). Use a long standard screw driver to facilitate installation. Lubricate all o-rings with silicon lubricant. BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION (SOFT-MINDER METER ONLY): The Soft-Minder meter is placed between the bypass valve and the control (Fig. 4). Make sure the meter is on the outlet

FIG. 3

FIG. 2

port of the control. 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 silicon lubricant. SWEAT ADAPTOR INSTALLATION The seat 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. CONNECT THE BRINE LINE Refer to Fig. 5. Measure a length of brine line sufficient to reach from the brine tank to the brine fitting and then add four feet (1.3 meters). Cut both ends squarely and cleanly. Remove the brine valve from the brine tank and remove the white nut and insert. 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. Connect to the brine valve and tighten nut. Remove white nut and insert from the brine elbow assembly. Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the plastic insert into the end of the tubing. Connect to the brine connection on the valve and tighten nut. DRAIN LINE CONNECTION Refer to Table 1, page 11, under the applicable tank size for

drain line length and height limitations, and to Fig. 6. Remove 1/2" pipe clamp from end of drain elbow. 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 the drain to prevent its movement during regeneration. A loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration. NOTICE: Observe all plumbing codes. most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap at the discharge point! FILL THE SALT STORAGE CONTAINER Fill the salt storage container with water until the level reaches about 1 inch above the salt support plate. Pour salt into the container. Fill to within a few inches of the top. SOFT-MINDER METER CONNECTIONS To connect meter leads, proceed as follows: Remove the timer case by grasping the front cover and pulling outward. Remove the screw from the protective cover and remove cover. CAUTION: Do not allow the timer case to hang from the wires. Damage to the wires and/or terminals may result.

Settings
Before the unit can be recharged and put into service, several settings must be made. BACKWASH Backwash, the first step in the recharge cycle, expands and loosens the resin bed, and flushes away accumulated turbidity. The backwash interval is preset at the factory for 10 minutes which is adequate for most water supplies. It is adjustable, however, for 5 to 30 minutes. It is recommended that backwash last just long enough so that the effluent from the drain line is clear. Backwash too long and water is wasted, not long enough and the tank becomes fouled with sediment. If backwash time adjustment is needed, see Fig. 17. THE TIMER MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY WHEN MAKING INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS. 1. Remove the timer from the case and turn it over to view the fiber electrical barrier. 2. Loosen both the screw holding the barrier in place and rotate the barrier to expose the cams and switches. 3. Refer to Fig. 7. Loosen screw (A) and rotate the black cam segment (B) until its pointer indicates the desired backwash time on the grey cam segment (C). Retighten screw (A). 4. Replace the fiber barrier and tighten the screws. All normal adjustments from this point on may be made with the timer mechanism securely fastened within its case. The unit may be plugged in at this time. TIME OF RECHARGE The timer is factory-set to recharge at 2:00 a.m. (plus or minus 20 minutes), a timer when water usage is at a minimum for most families. If water is used during recharge, hard water will be automatically bypassed to service. If it would be more convenient to have the water conditioner recharge at a different time of day the setting may be changed as follows, referring to Fig. 8. 1. The position of the time-of-day dial (E) in relation to the peg (D) on the black tab determines when the conditioner will begin to recharge. 2. Remove the set screw (M). 3. Lift the white time-of-day dial and rotate it until the desired time of recharge is opposite the peg (D). Please note that whenever the time of recharge is changed, the time-of-day setting must be changed also. 4. Replace set screen.

FIG. 7 SETTINGS

FIG. 9

TIME OF DAY Upon completing the installation, the timer must be set to the correct time of day. Time of day must also be reset after any kind of power interruption, such as that caused by an electrical storm. See Fig. 8. 1. Determine the correct time of day. 2. Grasp the gear (F) and lift straight up (the white time-ofday dial will lift with it). Rotate the dial until the correct time of day lines up with the pointer (G). The dial is springloaded and will return to its position when released. Make sure the teeth mesh. Note that the silver half of the time-of-day dial designates the daytime hours, while the black half designates the nighttime hours. SERVICE POSITION The timer assembly is in the service position when the toothless notch in the cam gear (J) is over the teeth on the idler gear (H). The timer will return to this position after each recharge (Fig. 8). SALT DOSAGE/RECHARGE FREQUENCY (Time Clock Models Only) The salt dosage is the number of pounds of salt the softener will use with each recharge. The frequency is the number of recharges per six day period (or seven day period, with optional 7-day frequency wheel). To determine the salt dosage and frequency, two things must be known: 1. Daily water usage as determined by the number of persons in the household or by actual gallonage measurements.

2. The total hardness of the water as shown on the Culligan Water Analysis Report. With these factors known, refer to Salt Dosage/Frequency Charts, Table 2A/2B. Find the box in the right or left column with the number of individuals in the household, or the approximate daily average water usage. Move across until the box under the correct hardness range is reached. The number in the shaded portion of the box indicates the amount of salt, in pounds (kilograms), to be used for each recharge, and the number in the non-shaded portion indicates the number or recharges required per six-day period. NOTICE: The optional 7-day frequency wheel may be used when recharge is desired only on specific days of the week. As an example, if four individuals live in the household, and the water has a total hardness of 18 grains per gallon, the salt dosage per recharge for the water conditioner will be 5 pounds (2.5 kg) and the recharge frequency will be 3 (or every 2 days). Monthly salt usage can be estimated, using these figures, at about 75 pounds (37.5 kg). SALT DOSAGE SETTING Set the salt dosage as follows, referring to Fig. 9. 1. Loosen screw (I). 2. Grasp the gear (L) and rotate the salt dosage dial until the desired dosage is indicated by the point (K). 3. Retighten screw (I). FREQUENCY (Time Clock Models Only) Starting with all pins in the up position, set the correct frequency on the frequency wheel by pushing down the appropriate number of pins. Refer to Tables 5A and 5B.

10 / CULLIGAN MARK 10 AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONER

1. Rotate the frequency wheel (O) until the pin beneath the number 1 is opposite the peg on the manual recharge lever (N). 2. Refer to Table 3 and push down the pins under the numbers indicated. If using the optional 7-day frequency wheel, assign a number to each day of the week. For example, 1-Sunday, 2-Monday, 3-Tuesday, and so on. Line up the number corresponding to the present day of the week and push down only those pins corresponding to the days upon which you want the unit to recharge. All remaining pins must be in the up position.

GALLONS SETTING (Soft-Minder Models Only) Determine the daily water use for the household. Usually 75-100 gallons per day per person is adequate. Using Tables 2A and 2B, locate the hardness range for your water supply. Move down the column and locate the gallons setting and salt dosage which best suits the application. Usually two to three days between regenerations yields the best results. Allow for one half to one days water usage as reserve capacity. Set the salt dosage per the instructions on page 10. The gallons are set with the dip switches located on the board. Refer to Table 4 for the proper positioning of the switches. Dip switch number 1 should be set to the R (run) position.

Start-Up Procedure
NOTICE: A sanitizing agent has been added to the conditioner tank at the factory. This sanitizing agent must be flushed out before the unit is placed into service by initiating a recharge using the steps outlined below. 1. With the timer in the service position, connect the threewire power cord to an appropriate grounded electrical outlet. If a three-wire outlet is not available, purchase a three-prong to two-prong adapter from your local hardware store. The ground wire from the adapter should be affixed to the outlet box or plate. 2. Set the timer to the correct time of day, time of recharge, frequency of recharge, and refill regulator assembly to the proper number. 3. With the unit in the service position, slowly open the inlet valve or slowly push the blue knob of the Cul-Flo-Valv bypass. Allow water to fill the tank. 4. Turn the water off. Rotate the cam with the salt dosage dial one third turn. Slowly open the valve. For units equipped with the Soft-Minder meter, push the red button on the timer mechanism. 5. Rotate the salt dosage cam until the notch in the gear is over the idler gear (see page 10, Service Position). A manual regeneration should be initiated at this time. 6. To allow the customer to enjoy the benefits of soft water at this time, it is advisable to drain the hot water tank of the hard water and allow it to be refilled with soft water. Otherwise, because of the capacity of the hot water tank, it may take two or three days to displace the hard water with soft water in the hot water tank. 7. Explain to the customer the operation of the bypass valve(s) and make sure that the customer knows that there will be new sounds associated with the recharging and operating of the unit. 8. Advise the customer to periodically check and replenish the salt supply. 9. Clean up the unit and the installation site, removing any soldering or pipe threading residues from the equipment with a damp towel.

Sanitizing Procedure
A water softener in daily use on a potable water supply generally requires no special attention other than keeping the salt tank filled. Occasionally, however, a unit may require sanitation under one of the following conditions: The unit has stood idle for a week or more (the premises vacant or the residents on vacation). On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors, particularly if musty or rotten egg (caused by harmless sulfate-reducing bacteria). For occasional occurrences, the softener can be sanitized with household bleach as follows: NOTICE: If the water supply contains iron, regenerate the softener before sanitizing to remove accumulated iron from the Cullex resin. WARNING! HAZARD FROM TOXIC FUMES! CHLORINE BLEACH AND COMMON IRON CONTROL CHEMICALS MAY GENERATE TOXIC FUMES WHEN MIXED. IF THE UNIT USES CULLIGAN SOFNER-GARD CHEMICAL OR OTHER COMPOUNDS CONTAINING SODIUM HYDROSULFITE OR SODIUM BISULFITE, OR ANY OTHER REDUCING AGENT, DISCONNECT THE DEVICE AND MANUALLY REGENERATE THE UNIT BEFORE SANITIZING. DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE IF THE SOFTENER SALT CONTAINS IRON CONTROL ADDITIVES. 1. Remove the brine tank cover and the small cover on the brine valve chamber. 2. Pour directly into the brine chamber 1 cup (9-inch units) or 2 cups (12-inch units) of common household bleach (5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite). 3. Manually start recharge. Allow the unit to complete the recharge cycle automatically. If tastes and odors return frequently, even after sanitization, a continuous chlorination system may be needed. Contact Household Application Engineering for assistance. Also, have the consumer send a sample to a qualified laboratory for bacterial analysis.
