Chapter 13 Water Softener Option
Water Softener Installation CP 213
Connect the main tank with the softener valve to the inlet/outlet adapter. The inlet/outlet adapter is inserted into the Mach™
Control Valve and locked in place by the plastic e-clips.
Note: It is important that the e-clips are fully inserted into the Mach™ Control Valve. Check that
all 3 tabs on the e-clips are fully inserted. Do not reuse the old e-clips. Replace them with
new e-clips.
Connect the remote tank to the main tank using connector pipes, connector links and connector pins. (Always use both links.)
• An air gap must be provided for all drain lines. Check, identify and follow local and state plumbing codes for the proper
setup of drain line air gaps.
Run a drain line to the discharge point. IDENTIFY AND FOLLOW ALL STATE AND LOCAL CODES. Before connecting the unit,
check for any obstructions or kinks. Apply Teflon™ tape to the pipe threads on the side of the softener valve and install the two
fittings supplied. Connect the drain line to the valve.
• If the drain lines for the CP 213 must travel more than 8 feet up and 30 feet over, it is best to take the 5/8” drain line that
fits the valve and attach it in a larger diameter line or pipe.
Position the brine drum. In Kinetico™ Softeners, the brine drum mixes and stores a solution of salt or potassium chloride for
regeneration of the softener media. During the brine rinse cycle, this solution is drawn from the brine drum and through the media
to regenerate it.
• The brine drum contains an adjustment to draw the correct amount of salt or potassium chloride solution for each cycle.
This adjustment is made in two places: the adjuster tube and the float cup.
➢ The adjuster tube measures the amount of solution that is drawn from the brine drum into the softener during the
brine rinse cycle.
➢ The float cup height determines how much softened water flows back into the brine drum to prepare for the next
regeneration.
