About this Manual This manual provides additional technical information regarding the Kinetico Premier Series softeners. This additional technical information gives guidance for the advanced service and set-up of these products. Series Overview Kinetico Premier Series water softeners are the ultimate water conditioning solution. Knowing that water and electricity don t mix, it just makes sense (and is brilliant) that these systems operate without the use of electricity. Engineered to tackle your tough water challenges, Premier Series water softeners work more efficiently and reliably without electrical components or computers that need to be set, adjusted, repaired or replaced. AccuDial Our patent-pending AccuDial feature allows more precise calibration of the system to your home s specific water conditions for optimum efficiency, saving on operational costs and eliminating waste. In essence, it s like having a water softener that s custom-fit for your home. Automatic, Metered Regenerations Designed with today s demanding households and larger plumbing in mind, Premier Series softeners deliver generous flow rates without forfeiting water softness. And the multiple tank system design assures you have around-the-clock soft water, even during the regeneration (cleaning) process. One tank is always in service while the other tank is either on standby or regenerating. Premier Series systems regenerate at any time of the day or night to ensure you will always have a supply of soft water. Single-tank systems simply can t offer this. So if you have a house full of guests or are running multiple loads of laundry, you ll never run out of soft water. And if you re away from home, the system stays ready without wasting water or salt. Mach Accessories To make your installation complete, the Premier Series has a large array of snap-in accessories. From a full flow multifunction by-pass valve to various plumbing adapters and filter housings, Kinetico s Mach accessories are design as the perfect complement to the Premier product line.

Setting Your System Premier Series Technical Manual 1) Test Your Water The first and most important step in setting you system is to start with a proper water test. At a minimum, water should be tested for hardness and iron. These two contaminants play a critical role in the operation of you softener. Hardness will be measure in gpg, mg/l or degrees hardness and iron will be measured in mg/l. When measuring iron, a total iron amount is needed, however, one should note whether the iron is in the ferrous (clear water) or ferric (precipitated) Iron in the ferrous form will be removed by iron exchange and will need to be included with your loading calculation (added iron to your hardness produces a compensated hardness number) to calculate your compensated hardness: a. Hardness in gpg + (3 x Iron in mg/l) = compensated hardness in gpg b. Hardness in mg/l + (51 x Iron in mg/l) = compensated hardness in mg/l c. Hardness in ppm + (51 x Iron in mg/l) = compensated hardness in ppm d. Hardness in ⁰dH + (3 x Iron in mg/l) = compensated hardness in ⁰dH e. Hardness in ⁰fH + (5 x Iron in mg/l) = compensated hardness in ⁰fH 2) Select Your Model Based on your hardness, the amount of water needed per day or the overall desired flow rate, select the appropriate Premier system. Standard systems can be used for any application. High Efficiency systems should be applied when the iron concentration is less than 1 mg/l.

When iron is present over 1 mg/l, begin with the highest salt setting adjusting as desired and then use the AccuDial chart to find the most appropriate AccuDial setting. When iron is less than 1 mg/l, begin with the lowest salt dose. If an AccuDial setting that is an exact match for model, salt dose and compensated hardness is shown on the AccuDial chart, the selection process is complete. If no exact match is found, move to the next highest salt setting, continuing to increase the salt dosing until a matching setting is found. In situations where no exact match is shown, use the closest AccuDial setting at any salt dosage where the setting is greater than the calculated compensated hardness. Refer to pages 16-17 for AccuDial chart. 4) Set AccuDial a. Unlock AccuDial Manually initiate a regeneration until the AccuDial is in the home position. This is identified by the AccuDial arrow at the 6 o'clock position on the valve. b. Select Setting Per Chart Determine AccuDial setting from chart: find your unit, read across to hardness, then to top for the setting. For applications containing iron, use the highest (certified where applicable) salt dosage. c. Set AccuDial Adjust AccuDial setting by pushing and rotating adjustment knob. d. Confirm Setting Set the arrow to the desired position. Arrow points to the center of the box for whole settings, for 1/2 settings, arrow points to the line between boxes. e. Release AccuDial Adjuster Release adjuster, making sure knob returns to an up position f. Notes: NEVER set AccuDial with the arrow aligned anywhere in the black section of the meter disc. The softener will not meter properly. On the AccuDial chart, settings shown in columns with a black-shaded header will yield a regeneration interval below 200 gallons and should be used in very low water-usage applications ( 2- person households). Settings shown in columns with a gray-shaded header will create a regeneration interval less than 300 gallons and should be used in low water-usage applications ( 4- person households).

To create the proper salt dosage, both adjuster tube and float cup need to be set. In some brining systems, no adjuster tube may be used. a. Adjuster Tube The Adjuster Tube is set by cutting and removing tabs on both sides of the tube. Using a pocket-knife, cut across each tab horizontally, following the channel in the plastic, and break off each tab individually until the proper setting is reached. The remaining number or letter imprinted on the tab determines the correct setting. The drawing at right shows an Adjuster Tube at setting "M". b. Float Cup The Float Cup is set by adjusting its height above the bottom of the Brine Valve Assembly.

Manual Regeneration Premier Series Technical Manual If your salt storage tank does run out of salt, you can manually regenerate the unit after adding salt, or you can wait for it to go through regeneration automatically. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down firmly on the softener valve screw and slowly turn clockwise until the actuator has advanced the indicator arrow to the Brine position. You should hear at least five clicks while turning the screw before the indicator arrow reaches the Brine position. At this point you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do not hear water running through the system, the indicator arrow has not been advanced far enough. Repeat the procedure for manual regeneration after the water flow stops to be sure both resin tanks are regenerated. Note: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take several days for it to empty and for your water to feel soft again Indicator Arrow Manual Regeneration (22)

Detailed Operation / Function Premier Series Technical Manual Premier water softeners use a twin tank design to assure that treated water is always available. When one tank regenerates, the other supplies treated water. The Mach Valve is the control valve with uses hydraulic pressure to control all valve functions automatically. Inlet Outlet Regeneration Level One Operation Level One assembly consists of three chambers: inlet, outlet and regeneration chambers. Hard water enters the inlet chamber and travels to the media tank where it is treated. Treated water moves from the media tank to the outlet chamber. Contained in the outlet chamber is a water meter turbine, which turns only when water is used. Gears connect the water meter turbine to the water meter disc. Flow Nozzle Accuracy and range of the flow meter will depend on the nozzle used with the system. Most units incorporate the half louver nozzle. This nozzle gives a highly accurate and wide range of flow metering capability. If an alternative nozzle is used, a different meter volume on the water meter will result. To estimate this new volume, use the Meter Ratio Multiplier to determine new volume. Half Louver Full Louver Part Number 11018 11019 Minimum Flow Range 0.3 gpm 0.75 gpm Maximum Flow Range 25.00 gpm 40.00 gpm Meter Ratio Multiplier 1 2.22 Detailed Operation / Function (23)

Meter Gearing All Premier models use the same 2-3- 4-4 gear stack, with either a half or full- louver nozzle. Regeneration drive pawl Regeneration start pawl Jet regeneration gearing & turbine Regeneration Pawls It is important to realize that there are two regeneration pawls: the regeneration start pawl and the regeneration drive pawl. The regeneration start pawl advances the control disc enough to open the regeneration control valve. The water meter and control disc advance together until the control disc uncovers one of the holes in the ceramic disc located directly beneath the control disc. This hole directs pressurized water through a chamber that opens the regeneration control valve, which starts regeneration. Once the valve has opened, the regeneration drive pawl continues to advance the control disc through the regeneration cycle. When open, the regeneration control valve allows water to pass through a nozzle where it is directed to the regeneration turbine in the regeneration chamber. As the regeneration turbine spins, it drives the regeneration drive pawl, which advances the control disc. Jet Regeneration During regeneration, water is used by the valve to control the operation sequence. All Premier Series valves are equipped with Jet Regeneration, in which a 0.2 gpm regeneration flow control is employed to restrict the amount of water used. In addition to this smaller flow control, the regeneration turbine in Level 1 and the regeneration nozzle in Level 2 are also modified to work with the lower flow rates. Detailed Operation / Function (24)

Control Disc All internal valve positions are controlled by the Control Disc. As the control disc turns, it covers and uncovers holes in the ceramic disc (located directly below the control disc), sending and relieving pressure signals to open and close all internal valves. The sequence of regeneration and service configuration (alternating or Overdrive) is based on the type of control disc installed.

The control disc rotates clockwise. When the indicator arrow is at the 12 o'clock position, the Right- hand Tank (Remote Tank on Standard Units, Main Tank on Upflow Units) is in service. When it is between the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, the Right- hand Tank is in regeneration. When the indicator arrow is at the 6 o'clock position, the Left- hand Tank is in service. When it is between the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions, the Left- hand Tank is in regeneration. AccuDial Use Meter For metering water use, the fully non- electric Mach valve includes Kinetico s patented AccuDial technology. AccuDial provides linear adjustment of metered water volume across a very broad range, allowing the installer to set the system to virtually any desired water use between regenerations, in effect creating a customized system for each individual installation. No special tools or disassembly of the valve are required during set- up, and the setting can be re- adjusted at any time by following the illustrated step- by- step instructions on page XX.

Lower Valving Section } Level 1 } Levels 2-5 } Level 6 Premier Series Technical Manual The lower valving section consists of Level Two, Level Three, Level Four and Level Five assemblies. In the center, there is one regeneration control valve. This valve opens after four (4) teeth on the control disc have engaged. This valve then opens and powers the regeneration cycle. All of the other valves are pairs: one set for the Remote Tank and one set for the Main Tank. For each media tank, there is an Inlet, Outlet, Drain and Check Stem valve. The Inlet, Outlet and Drain valves are all servo valves controlled by the control disc. The Check Stems are simple one- way valves (check valves). Together, these valves control the flow of water into and out of each media tank during service and regeneration. Remote Main (Main on Upflow Units) Inlet Valves (Remote on Upflow Units) Drain Valves Drain Valves Outlet Valves Inlet Valves Outlet Valves Check Stems Control Valve Level 6 Upflow Downflow The final level of the valve is used to direct the normal service path of the water. This can be either downflow or upflow. Since all regenerations are countercurrent, choosing the service direction also specifies the regeneration direction. Downflow service is used with standard, non- packed tank systems. For high efficiency, packed tank systems, upflow service is specified. Media Tank Tank sizes vary from 8 x 17 to 13 x 54. These sizes only represent the size of the tank; they do not include the base of the tank. The media tank conforms to NSF Standard 61 for components, with a structural performance exceeding 250,000 life cycles when pressurized/depressurized to 150 psi. The media tank holds the resin which is used for the softening process. Detailed Operation / Function (26)

Resin Each softener uses strong acid, high capacity cation resin having a minimum exchange capacity of 30,000 grains removed per cubic foot of media when regenerated with a dose of 15 lbs of salt per cubic foot of media. Upper / Lower Distributors The distributors prevent channeling of the flow through the resin bed, by dispersing the water through the entire radius of the media tank. The distributor also helps maximize the efficiency of the system, by improving contact with the resin and minimizing dead spots in the media tank. The design of the distributors also keeps the resin inside the tank, as the slots on the distributor are sized smaller than the minimum size of the resin beads. Riser Tube A riser tube is used to connect the lower distributor to the control valve. A 1 pipe is used for this connection. Brine Tank The brine tank is used for both salt storage and brine production. For some units, the brine tank can also be a cabinet which holds the entire softener. The brine tank is manufactured from corrosion resistant plastics, as the brine makes for a harsh environment. Brine Valve A brine valve is used in each brine tank or cabinet. This stops the flow of brine to the control valve when a low level is reached and prevents air from being drawn into the tank. When the bottom check activates, it also marks the beginning of the slow rinse process. The brine valve has a float cup that is used as the high volume level for the brine dose setting, as well as a safety to prevent an overflow situation. There is also an overflow elbow that must be connected to the drain. Detailed Operation / Function (27)

Troubleshooting Ten steps to determine the problem 1. Gather information. Ask questions, find out what is the problem. What is the customer s complaint? This may identify simple corrections external to the equipment. Has there been any recent work done by plumbers? Has the water been shut off for any reason? Have fire hydrants been flushed recently in the area? Have they used more water than normal recently? Has the brine drum recently run out of salt? How much salt have they been using? 2. Test the water. Raw before softener, hot water, and at brine fitting with water running to service. Raw water is tested for hardness and iron levels. Hot water is tested to see if hard water has recently been passed to service. It is not unusual to have a slight increase of hardness from the hot water tank, generally less than 2 grains. Water taken directly from the brine fitting will identify if the softener is working correctly at this point. Once completed, advance the control disc forward to service on the other tank and test again. 3. Observe the installation. Check status of by- pass valve (open/closed), brine drum (full, empty, bridged), prefilter (plugged), correct AccuDial setting, inlet/outlet lines correct, kinks or restrictions in drain line or drain line elevated over 8 ft or more than 15 feet horizontally. 4. Run soft water to service. Verify metering Watch the meter disc is it turning. Watch the no back pawl as the meter disc turns clockwise does the no back pawl drop into the next tooth. Measure the metering rate. Measure the rate by running water at a controlled rate (1 gallon a minute) and time how long it takes the no back pawl to drop into the next tooth. 5. Place unit in brine position. Verify vacuum at brine elbow, check on both sides of control disc. Remove the brine line from the brine elbow and verify if there is suction. Is the suction smooth without interruption? Is there any water coming from the brine elbow? Troubleshooting (46)

6. Remove the brine valve. Verify correct brine setting (see Brine Settings section of the Technical Manual) Is it set according to the brine installation sheet? Is the adjuster tube cut down to the correct tab? Is the float cup set at the correct measurement? 7. Look for low flow in the distribution system. Leaky toilets, faucets, etc. This may allow water to pass by unmetered, causing hard water. Low flow means less than 0.3 gpm in models with half louver nozzles, less than 0.75 gpm in models with full louver nozzles. A leaky faucet or running toilet will typically be less than these flow rates. If it is less than these flow rates, the water will not turn the turbine, so the meter gears will not turn, and the system may not regenerate when it should. 8. Measure water pressure. Check at brine elbow while one faucet is wide open and valve in backwash position. Place the valve in the brine draw position, allowing the draw port to depressurize. Remove the brine elbow and thread on a ¼ threaded coupling with a pressure gauge on the other end. Place the valve in the backwash position, open one faucet, and note the pressure reading on most systems it must be at least 15 psi dynamic (25 psi static). 9. Measure backwash flow rate. Using a container with a known volume (1 gal bottle) check the drain flow with the unit in backwash and a faucet running, timing how long it takes to fill the container. 1 gallon / 15 seconds = 4 gpm 1 gallon / 30 seconds = 2 gpm 1 gallon /45 seconds = 1.3gpm (Compare these results to specified backwash flow for models listed below) Backwash Flow Rate Chart Model Backwash Rate S150 1.4 gpm (5.3 Lpm) S250 2.0 gpm (7.6 Lpm) S250 OD 2.0 gpm (7.6 Lpm) S350 3.0 gpm (11.3 Lpm) S550 5.0 gpm (18.9 Lpm) S650 1.4 gpm (5.3 Lpm) S650 OD 1.4 gpm (5.3 Lpm) Q850 3.5 gpm (13.2 Lpm) Q850 OD 3.5 gpm (13.2 Lpm) Troubleshooting (47)

10. Place unit at the end of backwash and allow it to shut off on its own. Check this on both sides, this may take several minutes. A slight drip to the drain is allowable, although if the drip will fill the test tube from your hardness test kit (10 ml) in less than 45 seconds it may cause a hard water situation. If the water is soft, follow the trouble shooting steps for running to drain. If the water at the drain is hard and the unit is producing soft water check the drain valve seats in level 5 for foreign material. Troubleshooting (48)
