General Commercial Pre-Installation Check List
WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate
effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: A continuous 115 volt, 60 Hertz current supply is required. (Other voltages available.)
Make certain the current supply is always hot and cannot be turned off with another switch.
EXISTING PLUMBING: 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.
BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve.
CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 120 p.s.i., water temperature is not to exceed 100°F, and the unit can-
not be subjected to freezing conditions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a firm base.
(Maximum 7 feet apart for twin units.)
2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should
be the same size as the drain line flow control connection. Water meters are to be installed on soft water
outlets. Twin units with (1) one meter shall be installed on common soft water outlet of units.
3. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is level.
4. Place approximately 1” of water above the grid plate (if used) in your salt tank Salt may be placed in the
unit at this time.
5. Place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a
few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from
the installation.
6. Place the by-pass in service position.
7. Manually index the softener control into “service” position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When
water flow stops, close inlet valve, place control in “backwash” position to relieve head of air, then gradually
open inlet valve to purge remaining air in tank. Return control to “service” position.
8. Electrical: All electrical connections must be connected according to codes. Use electrical conduit if
applicable. Plug into power supply.

 3200 Timer Setting Procedure
How To Set Days On Which Water Conditioner Is To
Regenerate:
Rotate the skipper wheel until the number “1” is at the
red pointer. Set the days that regeneration is to occur
by sliding tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose
trip fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is
tonight. Moving clockwise from the red pointer, extend or
retract fingers to obtain the desired regeneration sched-
ule.

How To Set The Time Of Day:

1. Press and hold the red button in to disengage the
drive gear.
2. Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is at
the time of day pointer.
3. Release the red button to again engage the drive
gear.

How To Manually Regenerate Your Water

Conditioner At Any Time:
1. Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise.
2. This slight movement of the manual regeneration
knob engages the program wheel and starts the
regeneration program.
3. The black center knob will make one revolution in
the following approximately three hours and stop in
the position shown in the drawing.
4. Even though it takes three hours for this center knob
to complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of
your unit might be set only one half of this time.
5. In any event, conditioned water may be drawn after
rinse water stops flowing from the water
conditioner drain line.

How to Adjust Regeneration Time:

1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Locate the three screws behind the manual
regeneration knob by pushing the red button in and
rotating the 24 hour dial until each screw appears in
the cut out portion of the manual regeneration knob.
3. Loosen each screw slightly to release the pressure
on the time plate from the 24 hour gear.
4. Locate the regeneration time pointer on the inside
of the 24 hour dial in the cut out.
5. Turn the time plate so the desired regeneration time
aligns next to the raised arrow.
6. Push the red button in and rotate the 24 hour dial.
Tighten each of the three screws.
7. Push the red button and locate the pointer one more
time to ensure the desired regeneration time
is correct.
8. Reset the time of day and restore power to the unit.

Regeneration Cycle Program Setting Procedure
How To Set The Regeneration Cycle Program:
The regeneration cycle program on your water condi-
tioner has been factory preset, however, portions of
the cycle or program may be lengthened or shortened
in time to suit local conditions.

3200 & 3210 Series Timers (Figure to Right)

1. To expose cycle program wheel, grasp timer in
upper left-hand corner and pull, releasing snap
retainer and swinging timer to the right.
2. To change the regeneration cycle program, the
program wheel must be removed. Grasp program
wheel and squeeze protruding lugs toward cen-
ter, lift program wheel off timer. (Switch arms may
require movement to facilitate removal)
3. Return timer to closed position engaging snap
retainer in back plate. Make certain all electrical
wires locate above snap retainer post.

General Service Hints For Meter Control

Problem: Softener delivers hard water

Reason: Reserve capacity has been exceeded.

Correction: Check salt dosage requirements and reset program wheel to provide additional reserve.
Reason: Program wheel is not rotating with meter output.
Correction: Pull cable out of meter cover and rotate manually. Program wheel must move without binding
and clutch must give positive clicks when program wheel strikes regeneration stop. If it does not, replace
timer.
Reason: Meter is not measuring flow.
Correction: Check meter with meter checker.
