MODEL 9000 ECONOMINDER
Time Brine Refill & Meter Setting Procedure
PROGRAMMING
1. Your control valve has been factory set for backwash; brine and slow rinse; rapid rinse and brine tank fill times. See
the control valve specification sheet (pg. 24). Any of these times can be changed by repositioning the pins and
holes or adding more pins (see pg. 5). Note that two different speed timer motors are used, one allows for an 82
minute maximum regeneration time (each pin or hole = 1 min.). The other allows for 164 minute maximum
regeneration time (each pin or hole = 2 min.).
2. The 9000 Control has a separate brine tank fill cycle. Your desired salt setting must be calculated, using the blue
(.25 gpm) or black (.5 gpm) or red (1.0 gpm) rate of refill (in gpm) times your timer setting. Then using one gallon of
fresh water dissolving approximately 3 lbs. salt, calculate your refill time.
ie: A desired 9 lb. salt setting: The unit has a .5 gpm refill rate, we will need a 3 gallon fill. (3 gal. x 3 lb./gal. = 9 lb.
salt). The timer refill section would have to be set at 6 minutes. (6 min x .5 gpm = 3 gal. fill)
Note: There always must be 2 pins at the end of your refill time. This is to stop the fill cycle. With your
regeneration times now set, place timer back to its original position, making sure the lower right hand
corner snaps back into the backplate and the meter cable slides through the backplate and does not bind.
3. Stting the gallon wheel
Knowing the amount of resin you have in each tank and your salt setting per regeneration, calculate the gallons
available, using the following capacities as a guide:
One Cubic Foot of Resin
Salt Setting at Capacity per Regeneration
15 lb 30,000 grains
10 lb 27,000 grains
8 lb 24,000 grains
6 lb 20,000 grains
Gallons available = Capacity per Regeneration.
Compensated Hardness of H

O
ie: 24 grain water; each tank having 1 cubic foot of resin and salted at 8 lb. of salt, yielding a usable 24,000 grain
capacity: 1,000 gallons available = 24,000 gr. capacity
24 gr. water
DO NOT SET THIS FIGURE - GO TO STEP 4
3. Since the 9000 Valve regenerates with soft water from the other tank, you must subtract the water used for
regeneration. Take each of your regeneration cycles and calculate the water used. (Use the injector Slow Rinse
rate chart supplied, see pg. 24.)
ie: Unit is set up for a 10 tank having 2.4 gpm backwash, #1 injector, .5 gpm refill, timer set up for
8 min.
backwash, 54 min. brine and rinse, 6 min. rapid rinse, 6 min. brine tank fill.
A. Backwash - 8 mins. x 2.4 gpm = 19.2 gallons
B. Brine and Rinse - 54 mins. x .33 gpm = 17.8gallons
(See injector chart slow rinse flow, pg. 23)
C. Rapid Rinse - 6 mins. x 2.4 gpm = 14.4 gallons
D. Brine Tank Fill - 6 mins. x .5 gpm = 3.0 gallons
Total Regeneration Water = 54.4gallons
