Series Overview (5)

Premier Series Technical Manual

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 multi-function 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. Series Range Nine models of the Premier are available:

Setting Your System (17)

Premier Series Technical Manual

Setting Your System 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.

S150 S250 S250 OD S350 S550 S650 S650 OD Q850 Q850 OD

Flow Rate 9 gpm 11.5 gpm 20.5 gpm 12 gpm 16 gpm 6 gpm 11 gpm 6 gpm 11 gpm

Maximum Hardness 62 gpg 88 gpg 52 gpg 156 gpg 242 gpg 52 gpg 50 gpg 46 gpg 44 gpg

Iron >1 mg/L < 1 mg/L

3) Select Your Brine Setting

Based on your chosen model and compensated hardness calculation, use the selection chart to determine your desired brine setting. 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).

5) Select Your Brine Tank Based on your selected salt dose, use either a standard brine tank, or an optional tank. The selection of your brine tank may be depend on the space available for the installation, or the desired amount of stored salt, which will impact the frequency of adding more salt.

6) Adjust Your Salt Dose There are two components to setting your salt dose, the adjuster tube and the float cup. 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. If a standard setting is used (S1-S5), then align the top of the float cup to the standard setting. Where a standard setting is not adequate, the actual Float Cup height must be measured and set according to the specified height.

c. K-Spray The Float Cup is set by adjusting its height above the bottom of the shut-off Valve Assembly to the top of the float.

7) Installing the Brine Valve

After the adjustments have been made to the Adjuster Tube and the Float Cup, the Brine Valve Assembly must be installed in the Brine Drum. Locate the brine valve in the brine well so that the ⅜" bent tube is along the back of the brine well away from the brine drum wall. The ⅜" bent tube snaps into a notch and extends from the brine drum.

Manual Regeneration (22)

Premier Series Technical Manual

Manual Regeneration 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

Detailed  Operation  /  Function  (23)  

Premier  Series  Technical  Manual  

Detailed  Operation  /  Function  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.      

 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.

 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.

Lower  Valving  Section  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.  

 

 

       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level  6  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.

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.

Remote  Tank  Inlet  and  Outlet  valves  are  open.  Both  the  Main  Tank  Inlet  and  Outlet  valves  are  closed.    The  Main  Tank  Drain  valve  is  open.    Soft  water  from  the  Remote  Tank  Outlet  passes  through  the  venturi,  which  causes  brine  to  be  drawn  in  past  the  Check  Stem,  into  the  distributor,  through  the  resin  and  out  through  the  Drain  valve.  

 

The  unit  will  continue  to  draw  until  the  brine  valve  in  the  brine  drum  closes  and  prevents  brine  from  entering  the  Main  Tank,  thus  starting  the  slow  rinse  cycle.    The  system  will  continue  to  rinse  until  the  backwash  cycle  starts.

4.  Main  Tank  on  Standby  -­‐  Remote  Tank  in  Service                  

Remote  Tank  Inlet  and  Outlet  valves  are  open.    Main  Tank  Inlet  valve  is  closed,  preventing  any  water  from  entering  and  keeping  Main  Tank  in  standby.  

 

5.  Main  Tank  in  Service  -­‐  Remote  Tank  Regenerating  (Brine-­‐Rinse)                  

Main  Tank  Inlet  and  Outlet  valves  are  open.  Both  the  Remote  Tank  Inlet  and  Outlet  valves  are  closed.    The  Remote  Tank  Drain  valve  is  open.  

 

Soft  water  from  the  Main  Tank  Outlet  passes  through  the  venturi,  which  causes  brine  to  be  drawn  in  past  the  Check  Stem,  through  the  distributor,  through  the  resin,  and  out  through  the  Drain  valve.    The  unit  will  continue  to  draw  until  the  brine  valve  closes  and  prevents  brine  from  entering  the  Remote  Tank,  thus  starting  the  slow  rinse  cycle.    The  system  will  continue  to  slow  rinse  until  the  backwash  cycle  starts.  

 

6.  Main  Tank  in  Service  -­‐  Remote  Tank  Regenerating  (Backwash)                  

Main  Tank  Inlet  and  Outlet  valves  are  open.  The  Remote  Tank  Inlet  valve  is  closed.    Both  the  Remote  Tank  Outlet  valve  and  Remote  Tank  Drain  valve  are  open.    Both  Check  Stems  are  closed.  

 

Soft  water  from  the  Main  Tank  passes  through  the  Main  Tank  Outlet  valve,  over  and  through  the  Remote  Tank  Outlet  valve,  and  through  the  distributor.    This  high  flow  of  water  provides  thorough  cleaning  of  the  hardness  ions,  iron,  and  excess  brine  not  rinsed  during  the  rinse  cycle.

Troubleshooting  (46)  

Premier  Series  Technical  Manual  

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?

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)

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.
