Please Read Manual First
Before you operate your Aquatek Water Softener, read this manual to become familiar with the device and
its capabilities.
Installation or maintenance done on this system by an untrained service person can cause major damage
to equipment or property damage. Not adhering to the recommended service/maintenance can cause
damage to equipment or property damage.
Long term, successful operation of Aquatek ATWS water softeners depends upon the care and attention it
receives. Ordinarily, water treatment systems will provide uniform performance after the initial start-up pe-
riod and operation is stable. Gallonage delivery between regenerations and treated water purity usually do
not vary appreciably over the life of the resins--as long as the mineral content of the incoming water does
not change.
This manual is intended to be a practical reference guide for all operating personnel. In view of the fact that
system performance can change very dramatically throughout the year, a discussion of "ion exchange"
theory is included in addition to basic information relative to equipment operation and regeneration pro-
cedures. Thorough understanding of the simple chemical reactions will help to determine if some equip-
ment malfunction has occurred, or if the system is simply responding to changing water conditions. For this
reason, all operation and supervising personnel are encouraged to study PRINCIPLES OF ION EXCHANGE IN
THE SOFTENING PROCESS (pg. 6) which defines terminology and the simple chemistry associated with this
system.
Introduction
Cabinet Systems
Aquatek ATCWS Cabinet Water Softe-
ners are a single, space saving, self-
contained units. Inside the cabinet you
will find most of the standard com-
ponents of a two tank system. Inside
the Cabinet you will find the Control
Valve, Mineral Tank and a self contai-
ned Brine System. All of the processes
and programing will be exactly the
same as the Two Tank Systems on the
follwing page (pg. 5).
