SAFETY GUIDES
▲ Read all steps, guides and rules carefully be-
fore installing and using your new water softener.
Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Fail-
ure to follow them could cause personal injury or
property damage. Reading this book will also
help you to get all of the benefits from your water
softener.
▲ Your water softener will remove hardness min-
erals and “clear water” iron from water, up to the
limits shown on page 18. It will not remove other
types of iron, acids, tastes and odors, etc. It will
not purify polluted water or make it safe to drink.
▲ Protect the softener and piping from freezing.
Damage from freezing voids the softener warran-
ty. See page 16.
CAUTIONS
PLEASE READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOL-
LOWING GUIDES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO
THE SOFTENER OR OTHER PROPERTY,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR POSSIBLE FATAL
SHOCK.

SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water
softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to
make the softener will not infect or contaminate
your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to
form or grow. However, during shipping, storage,
installing and operating, bacteria could get into
the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows
FIG. 2 ADD WATER
①
is suggested when installing.
Brinewell
Cover
(remove and add
about 3/4 oz. bleach)
1. Lift thesalt holecover and usea pail or hoseto
fill thesalt storagetank with at least 1 gallon of
water.
2. Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 2) and pour
about 3/4 ounceof common 5.25% household
bleach (Clorox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail,
Eagle, etc.) in the softener brinewell.

3. Press the ON/OFFĆHOLD button and hold for
3 seconds to start a recharge. This first recharge
does several things.
Ċ It draws thebleach into and through the
softener to sanitize it.
Ċ It fills the salt tank to the water level
needed.
Ċ It gets all theair out of theresin tank.
Ċ It makes the resin bed (see page 11) ready
for service.
NOTES:
This recharge takes about 40 minutes.
You can sanitize the softener with or withĆ
out salt in the storage tank.
①
Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On
some water supplies, the water softener may need pe-
riodic disinfecting. Sanitize either with or without salt in
the storage tank.

WATER SOFTENER START-UP
SECTION 1
1E.
FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH SALT
Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each
and every regeneration. The water for making
brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the
softener. However, you must keep the tank filled
with salt.
FIG. 3 ADD SALT
Fill the tank with NUGGETor PELLETwater
softener salt. DO NOTuse rock salts, as they have
dirt and sediments that will stop the softener from
working.
Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in
place on the top of the brinewell. Salt storage
capacity is shown on page 18.
NOTE:
In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank
halfĆfull, and to refill it more often. Salt bridging
(see page 14) occurs more often when conditions
are humid.
WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON REMOVĆ
ING ADDITIVES Ċ Some salts have an additive to
help the softener handle iron in the water supply.
Although this additive may help to keep the
softener resin clean, it may also release corrosive
fumes that will weaken and shorten the life of
some softener parts.
SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners using
sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to
the water. Persons who are on sodium restricted
diets should consider the added sodium as part of
their overall sodium intake.
For example, if your water supply is 15 grains
hard, you would have to drink 3 quarts of softened
water to consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That
is equivalent to eating 2Ć1/2 slices of white bread.
Persons who are concerned about their drinking
water should consider a Sears Drinking Water
System that will remove or reduce in excess of
90% of the sodium and other drinking water
contaminants.
YOU HAVE NOW FINISHED THE WATER SOFTENER START-UP. AFTER THE SANITIZING RE-
CHARGE, ON PAGE 8, THE SOFTENER WILL BE GIVING YOU SOFT WATER.

PROGRAM MEMORY
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (reĆ
charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examĆ
ples are:
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the
time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps
the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical
power comes on again, 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.
-- You have used more water than usual (guests
visiting) and you may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regeneration.
-- You did not refill the softener with salt before it
was gone.
Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power
outage, the softener works as it should to keep
you water soft. However, regenerations may occur
at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer
to the correct time of day.
You can start a regeneration right away, or you can
set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or
other preset recharge time). Do the following.

HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS
SECTION 2
2A. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
SERVICE
REGENERATION
When the softener is giving you soft water, it is
called Service". During service, hard water comes
from the house main water pipe into the softener.
Inside the softener resin tank is a bed made up of
thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads (FIG. 4). As
hard water passes through the bed, each bead
attracts and holds the hardness minerals. This is
called ionĆexchanging. It is much like a magnet
attracting and holding metals. Water without the
hardness minerals (soft water) flows out of the
softener and into the house soft water pipes.
ꢀFILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine.
Brine is needed to clean the hardness minerals
from the resin beads. To make the brine, water
flows into the salt storage area during the fill stage
as shown in FIG. 5. Fill cycle length depends on
how much soft water making capacity you have
used since the last regeneration. As you use more
water, fill time increases so more brine is made.
The greater amount of brine cleans more hardness
minerals from the resin bed.
FIG. 5 WATER FLOW THROUGH THE
After a period of time, the resin beads become
coated with hardness minerals and they have to be
cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration or
recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 a.m. by
the electronic timer (see page 13). It takes place in
5 stages or cycles. These are:

SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
ꢀBRINING: During brining, thebrineis moved
from thesalt storagearea, into theresin tank.
Inside the resin tank, brine cleans hardness
minerals from the resin beads and they are
dischargde out thedrain. How much brineis
needed to clean the resin depends on:
FIG. 7 WATER FLOW THROUGH THE
SOFTENER IN BACKWASH
-- the amount of resin in the softener,
-- how fast thebrinegoes through thebed.
Thenozzleand venturi (FIG. 6) makesuction to
takebrinefrom thesalt tank and put it into the
resin tank. It keeps the brine flow down to a very
slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with the
least salt.
ꢁBRINE RINSE: After all of thebrinegoes into the
resin tank, the brine valve closes. Water keeps
flowing thesameway it did during brining except
the brine flow has stopped. Hardness minerals
and brineflush from theresin tank to thedrain.
Brining and brine rinse together vary in length of
time they take, relative to the fill cycle length.
ꢃFAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast
flow of water down through the resin tank. The
fast flow packs the resin bed and gets it ready for
return to service (FIG. 8).
FIG. 6 WATER FLOW THROUGH THE
SOFTENER IN BRINING AND
BRINE RINSE
After fast rinse, the softener returns to service.
Hard water goes into the resin tank where the
resin bed again takes out the hardness minerals.
Soft water goes to the house soft water pipes.

ꢂBACKWASH: During backwash, water flows UP
through theresin tank (FIG. 7) at a fast rateto flush
iron minerals, dirt and sediments from the bed and
to thedrain. Thebed lifts and expands for good
cleaning.

SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
AUTOMATIC BYPASS
ꢁ COMPUTER Ċ Thecomputer is part of the
circuit board. It is programmed to know the
softener's capacity (how many grains of hardness
minerals it will take out of the water before a
regeneration is needed). When starting the
softener on page 7, you set it for the grains per
gallon (gpg) hardness of the water.
During thebrining, brinerinseand backwash
cycles of regeneration, HARD water goes through
thesoftener valveand to thehousepipes. If a
faucet is opened, hard water is there for your
needs. However, you should not use HOT water, if
possible, because the water heater will refill with
hard water. The softener regenerates from 2:00
AM to about 2:40 AM, (you can changethis time. .
.see page 7), a time when water is usually not in
use.
To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs,
the computer uses, (1) water usage from the
meter, (2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity,
and (4) timesincethelast rgenereation. The
computer always adjusts this pattern to your water
using habits. It works to provideyou with soft
water for the longest time and the most efficient
salt usage.
If you get up early in the morning and you can
hear the softener regenerating, change the time
setting. Set the recharge time to 12:00 AM or 1:00
AM. Then regeneration will start and end that
much earlier and your water heater will not refill
with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.
Softening capacity is used as hard water goes
through the softener and hardness minerals are
removed. When the computer determines that
only enough capacity remains to provide soft
water up to the next regeneration starting time
(2:00 AM, or as otherwise set), it will schedule a
regeneration. RECHARGE TONIGHT displays until
the regeneration begins. When the regeneration
begins, the recharge cycle status displays show.
See page 10.
ELECTRONICS
Two main parts of the softener's electronics are ꢀ
a WATER METER, and ꢁ a COMPUTER.
ꢀ WATER METER Ċ The water meter is in the
softener valve outlet. As water flows through the
meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The
computer changes the pulses to a measure in
gallons of water.

SALT… REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE
WHEN TO REFILL WITH SALT: Check the salt
level a few weeks after you install the softener and
every week after that. Refill when the storage
tank is about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use
all the salt before refilling. Without salt, you will
soon have hard water.
IMPORTANT:
You will have a loss in softening capacity and
may get partly hard water if less than 10
inches of salt is in the storage tank.
PLEASE SEE PAGE 9 FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS.
SALT BRIDGE
Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the
salt storage 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 salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) in the
water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed
does not regenerate and you will have hard water.
FIG. 9 SALT BRIDGE
If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if
you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the
bridge is under it. The following is the best way to
check for asalt bridge.
Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of
the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to
the softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil
mark on the handle, 1″ or 2″ below the top height
of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down
into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil
mark gets to the top of the tank, it's most likely a
salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in a few
places to break it. DO NOT TRY TO BREAK THE
SALT BRIDGE BY POUNDING ON THE OUTSIDE
OF THE SALT TANK. YOU MAY DAMAGE IT.
Broom Handle
If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it
out. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt
only.

KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN
COVERS
NOTE:
To keep your new Sears water softener looking
nice, apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a
year. When dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to
keep it sparkling.
Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives.
They may scratch and dull the surface.
NOZZLE AND VENTURI
FIG. 10 CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VEN-
TURI
A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 10) is a must for
the softener to work right. This small unit moves
brine from the salt storage tank to the resin tank
during regeneration. If it becomes plugged with
sand, silt, dirt, etc., the softener will not work and
you will get hard water.
To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the
softener top cover. Be sure the softener is in
service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and
venturi), then turn off the cap from the nozzle and
venturi housing. DO NOT LOSE THE LARGE
OĆRING SEAL. Lift out the screen support and
screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash and
rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If
needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt.
Also check and clean the gasket and small screen.

EN AND BREAK THE CAP OR HOUSING.
IRON FROM THE RESIN BED
water iron, an iron filter or other equipment is
needed. Your local Sears store has trained people
to help you with iron water problems.
Your water softener takes hardness minerals
(calcium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it
can control some clear water" iron. See maximum
allowed in the specifications on page 18. With
clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when
first put into a glass. After 15 to 30 minutes, the
water begins to cloud or turn rust colored. A water
softener WILL NOT remove any iron which makes
the water cloudy or rusty as it comes from the
faucet (called red water iron). To take red water
iron out of water, or over the maximum of clear
If your water supply has clear water iron, even
though less than the maximum allowed, regular
resin bed cleaning is needed. Sears has resin bed
cleaner, Stock No. 42Ć34426 for this. Clean the bed
at least every 6 months. If iron shows up in the soft
water before 6 months, clean more often. Printed
instructions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.

KEEP THE 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:
FIG. 11 DRAIN WATER FROM THE
SOFTENER
1. Close the shutĆoff valve on the house main
water pipe, near the water meter or pressure
tank.
2. Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent
pressure in the softener.
3. If a single bypass valve is installed, move the
stem into bypass. See FIG. 12 on page 18. In a
3Ćvalve bypass system, close the inlet and
outlet valve and open the bypass valve. If you
want water in the house pipes again, reopen
the shutĆoff valve on the main water pipe.
7. Looking at FIG. 11, lay a piece of 2 inch thick
board near the floor drain. Move the softener
close to the drain. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY
tip it over until the rim rests on the wood block
with the inlet and outlet over the drain. DO
NOT ALLOW THE SOFTENER'S WEIGHT TO
REST ON THE INLET AND OUTLET FITTINGS
OR THEY WILL BREAK.
4. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.
Remove the salt hole cover and the main
cover. Take off both drain hoses.
5. Carefully remove the large holding clips at the
softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. 61, on
page 30). Separate the softener from the
adaptors or bypass valve.
8. Tip the bottom of the softener up a few inches
and hold until all water has drained. Leave the
softener laying like this until you are ready to
use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to
keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.
6. Remove the brinewell cover and disconnect
the brine valve tubing at the nozzle and venturi
assembly (see page 23). Lift the brine valve out
of the brinewell. Tip the brine valve upside
down to drain out water.

ROTARY VALVE SERVICE
BEFORE WORKING ON THE VALVE, TURN OFF
THE WATER SUPPLY AND DISCONNECT FROM
ELECTRICAL POWER. TO RELIEVE PRESSURE:
Lower the cover onto the valve body and rotor
shaft. Then install the cover holding screws.
BEFORE TIGHTENING THE SCREWS, INSTALL
THE VALVE CAM AND GEAR. THEN TURN THE
ROTOR (CLOCKWISE ONLY) TO SERVICE POSIĆ
TION. Tighten the screws using a crissĆcross
pattern. If a torque wrench is available, torque to
30Ć40 inch pounds.
-- 3 VALVE BYPASS: Close the inlet valve and
open a soft water faucet. Then close the outlet
valve and open the bypass valve.
-- SEARS SPECIAL BYPASS: Slide the bypass valve
stem to bypass position. Loosen the 3 hex head
screws (see A in drawing) toward the backside of
the valve to allow pressure water to bleed out.
Catch the water with a rag.
Lubricate the gear on the motor, and the valve cam
gear with Molykote grease, or other high quality
gear lubricant.
Be sure to orient switch as shown, with lever
toward the cam.
DISASSEMBLY
To remove a part or group of parts, refer to the
valve drawing. A common screwdriver or nut
driver, Phillips screwdriver and pliers are the only
tools needed to completely disassemble the valve.
SERVICING THE VALVE
Inspect all oĆrings, seals and gaskets for wear or
defects.
Inspect the bottom surface of the rotor and disc for
scratches, chips or wear.
NOTE: If replacement is needed, be sure to use
the current replacement part.
ASSEMBLY
Be sure all parts are in place and in the proper
position. Lubricate ALL oĆrings and seals with FDA
approved silicone grease. To install the rotor seal,
first place the seal into the valve groove, rounded
side down (see crossĆsection). Apply a light
coating of silicone grease to the seal's crossing
ribs. Then, carefully center the wear strip on the
seal, and push it downward onto the seal.
Install the nozzle and venturi seal and drain seal.
Assemble 2 oĆrings and the wave washer onto the
rotor and disc. Then center the rotor and disc, in
the valve body, on the rotor seal.

WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE
SERVICE CYCLE
Hard water enters the valve inlet port. Internal valve porting routes the water
down and out the top distributor, into the resin tank. Hard water is softened
as it passes through the resin bed, then enters the bottom distributor. Soft
water flows back into the valve and out the valve outlet, to the house soft
water pipes.
FILL CYCLE
To begin a regeneration, the electronic timer energizes the circuit to the valve
motor. The valve motor rotates the rotor & disc, and the valve cam until the
position switch lever drops to open the motor circuit when the valve in FILL
position. As the rotor and disc rotates, the port opens for SOFT water fill through
the venturi. Fill flow continues to the brine valve, and into the salt storage tank.
Soft water is still available to the house lines.

SECTION 5
5C. WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE
BRINING AND BRINE RINSE CYCLES
After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the rotor and disc into
BRINING position. Water flow is directed to the nozzle. Suction, created by the
nozzle and venturi, draws brine from the salt storage tankand injects it into the resin
bed via the bottom distributor. Flow continues out the top distributor and to the
drain. Hard water is available at the valve outlet.
When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same
directions to slowly RINSE brine from the resin bed and to the drain.
BACKWASH (and ‘‘CLEAN’’) CYCLE
Timer/switch action again allows the motor to turn the
rotor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH, stopping
water flow to the nozzle. Water is routed down and out
the bottom distributor, up through the bed, and out the
top distributor to the drain. The fast flow (controlled by
a flow plug in the drain fitting) flushes dirt, sediments,
iron deposits, remaining brine and hardness to the
drain.

5C. WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE
FAST RINSE CYCLE
During FAST RINSE, the rotor & disc is positioned so water flow enters the
resin tank through the top distributor, and exits through the bottom
distributor, to the drain.
The solid state timer again energizes the motor to return the valve to service.
As the valve rotates, the position switch lever drops to open the circuit. The
valve remains positioned in service until the timer initiates the next
regeneration.
