10 DRISTEEM PRE-TREATMENT SYSTEMS INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

INSTALLATION

Electrical installation

The control valve and fittings are not designed to support the weight of the system or the plumbing.

• Teflon tape is recommended to be used on all threads. Do not use pipe dope, as it may break down the plastics in the control valve.

• Allow one foot of clearance to service WS1.5 valves and two feet of clearance to service WS2 and WS2QC valves.

• The valve will withstand transportation and storage temperatures of -13 °F

(-25 °C) to 131 °F (55 °C) and for short periods up to 158 °F (70 °C). If valve has been exposed to freezing conditions let valve warm up to room temperature before running water through it. The valve has been packaged to prevent damage from the effects of normal humidity, vibration and shock.

SINGLE SOFTENER LOCKOUT SWITCH

Single softeners have a RO lockout switch if it is desired to lockout the RO system to prevent any hard water passing to the RO system when the softeners are in backwash. See Figure 10-1 for connections to the RO system lockout terminals.

CAUTION

Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary.

CAUTION

Hydrocarbons such as kerosene, benzene, gasoline, etc., may damage products that contain o-rings or plastic components. Exposure to such hydrocarbons may cause the products to leak. Do not use the products(s) contained in this document on water supplies that contain hydrocarbons such as kerosene, benzene, gasoline, etc.

CAUTION

DriSteem water meters should not be used as the primary monitoring device for critical or health effect applications.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

1. The plug in Power Adapter is for dry locations only, and should be connected to an uninterrupted outlet installed within 15 feet (4.57 meters) of the water conditioner. If the Power Adapter cord has not yet been connected to the control valve, remove the control valve cover and the drive bracket, and thread the Power Adapter cord through the hole in the back plate. Reinstall the drive bracket. Weave the cord through the hooks on the right hand side of the drive bracket and connect the end to the four-prong connector on the printed circuit board. Replace the cover, and plug the Power Adapter into an uninterrupted outlet.

2. The tanks should be on a firm, level surface.

3. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes.

4. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures below 40° F (4° C).

5. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb to the unit’s inlet.

Installation of a bypass valve is recommended. If using plastic fittings, ground the water conditioner per local electrical codes. Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater. If a water meter is used, install the water meter on the outlet side of the control valve. The turbine assembly may be oriented in any direction, but is usually oriented pointing up to reduce drainage out of the pipe during service.

6. Locate the water conditioner so the distance between the drain and the water conditioner is as short as possible. All units are shipped without a drain line flow control washer. Correctly size the drain line and install an appropriately sized drain line flow control. 1.5” valves are shipped with a ¾” fitting that can be used with the drain line flow controls up to 10 gpm, or an optional 1” fitting can be purchases to be used with drain line flow controls up to 25 gpm. For higher backwash rates, the adapter can be removed and the 1 ¼” NPT threaded drain outlet can be used. For 2” valves the drain outlet is 1.5” NPT threads. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” (152.4mm) between the drain line flow control fitting and the solder joints to prevent heat from damaging the flow control. Avoid elevating the drain line above the control valve where possible. Discharge the drain line through an air gap to a receptacle in accordance with local plumbing codes.

IMPORTANT: Never insert a drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or trap.

Always allow and air gap between the drain line and the receptacle to prevent back siphonage.

7. Regenerant tanks should be accessible for easy refilling. If the control valve is to be used to regenerate the water conditioner with brine (saturated salt solution) or other regenerants, use a polyethylene tube to connect the brine valve contained in the regenerant tank to the regenerant port on the control valve. It is recommended the brine valve contain a safety float. The 1.5” control valve’s regenerant port has a ½” fitting.

Note: ½” tubing that runs longer than 6 feet may restrict draw rates with G and H injectors. A 5/8” fitting is also available.

The 2” control valve regenerant port has a 1” threaded connection. To ensure acceptable operation of the injectors, use 1” pipe to connect to the brine tank.

An overflow drain line from the regenerant tank that discharges into an acceptable drain is recommended, as a regenerant overflow could damage furnishings or the building structure. Connect a line to the overflow fitting on the regenerant tank. If an overflow fitting is not already installed on the regenerant tank, install one. Do not elevate the overflow drain line. Discharge the overflow drain line through an air gap to a receptacle in accordance with local plumbing codes.

8. Ensure drain line flow remains steady for 10 minutes or until clear. Step through the different regeneration cycles by pressing the REGEN button again.

9. Observe regeneration effluent and continue to regenerate until discharge is clear. Steps 7 and 8 may need to be repeated as necessary.

10. Observe that the brine tank is filling during brine tank refill cycle.

11. Install brine tank overflow line. Attach plastic tubing to the fittings from the brine tank and run to an open drain. This drain line will not be under pressure. Do not tie into the backwash drain line. This line should be higher than the normal drain line, and must be a separate line from fitting to drain. It is a safety overflow drain and will not be in use during normal operation.

12. Observe that the valve advances through the different regeneration cycles and ends in service. Step through the different regeneration cycles by pressing REGEN.

13. Fill brine tank with salt. Salt may be sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCI). Fill tank to only 2/3 full. Note: The brine tank holds a large quantity of salt, so you will not need to refill at frequent intervals.

Refilling the brine tank with salt should be performed after your system is successfully installed and has been operating trouble-free. Brine tank should be refilled with salt at least two hours before the next generation is performed.

14. Review Tables 17-1 and 18-1 to ensure settings are properly programmed before placing the softener in service.

SALT USAGE AND GRAINS CAPACITY SETTINGS

The softener can be set to use different amounts of salt per regeneration. The higher the quantity of salt used, the higher the resin's hardness removing capacity will be. DriSteem recommends using 10lbs/cu. ft. Alternatively, higher salt usage may be set in order to maximize resin capacity between regenerations, or a lower salt usage settings can be used to reduce salt consumption, but this will result in more frequent regeneration.

• To find volume capacity:

• Find the model and desired salt setting from Table 19-1. DriSteem recommends using 10lbs/cu. ft. to find the total grains capacity for the tank model.

• Divide the grains capacity by the number of grains per gallon of hardness present in the feed water. (Example: If feed water is 10 grains per gallon hardness, the WS-744 [with 10cu. ft. salt setting] has 14,500 grains capacity. 14,500 ÷ 10 = 1,450 gallon capacity).

• To find brine fill time:

• Use number from Brine fill time column for the model number in the appropriate salt settings column.

OPERATION

LOADING THE CARBON MEDIA

1. Place tank on a level, solid surface in the correct position for installation.

Lift the riser tube from the tank, keeping the attached hub within the opening of the tank. Within the tank, assemble the laterals onto the hub, twisting each lateral into the hub to lock securely. Gently lower the assembly to the bottom of the tank. The top of the riser tube should be about level with the top of the tank. (See Figure 20-1).

2. The “riser tube” inside the media/resin tank delivers treated water to your control valve. It will need to be temporarily covered with tape on the top end to prevent anything from falling down inside the tube during loading.

3. Step back and look at the tank to make sure it is standing straight, and not tilted. The black base on the bottom of the tank should also be straightened before filling the tank. If your tank is tilted, simply pick up the tank 2-3 inches off the floor and drop it gently (but firmly) down, favoring the side of the base that needs to be adjusted.

4. Before loading the media, fill the tank with 2-3 feet of water (or 1/3 full, depending on the tank size), to soften the fall of the rocks and prevent damage to the distributor. To load the media, use a funnel in the top of the media tank with the riser tube still inside. Make sure the riser tube is covered with tape to keep media out.

5. Scoop the media into the funnel, slowly letting it fall down inside the media tank around the riser tube. Fill the tank with the media provided, pouring the media in the following order (1st will end up on the bottom of the tank, last will end up at the top of the tank, etc.). Note: The tank will be approximately ½ - 2/3 full after loading is complete.

I. Gravel – YMGRVL11618 – 1 CF (100 lbs.) per bag

II. Gravel ¼” × 1/8” – YMGRVL1418 – 0.5 CF (50 lbs) per bag (not used in DC-2162)

III. YMC1240RCOAL – 1 CF (27.5 lbs.) per bag

6. Remove the funnel from the top of the tank, and the tape from the end of the riser tube. Brush any loose media or resin off the top opening of the tank.

7. The bottom of the control valve has an opening with O-rings inside; lubricate the O-ring with a non-petroleum based lubricant. Position the valve over the top of the media tank, making sure the top of the riser tube inserts inside the opening in the bottom of the valve.

8. Screw the valve down into the media tank. Another person should hold the tank as the valve is being snugly tightened onto the tank. Do not over-tighten. Tighten until snug, tighten a bit more, then Stop. The large o-ring will seal itself.

DECHLORINATOR

1. Visually inspect components for leaks or breakage.

2. Monthly, have a water sample taken after dechlorinator to check for chlorine. If 2 ppm or greater, replace carbon media.

WATER SOFTENER

1. Check brine tank salt level at least weekly. Maintain salt level above the half-full mark at all times.

Note: �DriSteem recommends using pulverized salt because it dissolves easily.

2. Visually inspect all components for leaks or breakage.

3. Annually, have a water sample taken downstream from water softener to check for hardness. If water hardness is 15 ppm or greater, make sure there is salt in brine tank. If there is salt, and water hardness if 15 ppm or greater, contact DriSteem for water softener resin replacement.
