Introduction

Tenergy Water Light Commercial water softeners are assembled

of the highest quality parts available. The LCTA 150 Series is a

twin tank, single controller, metered system available with 1-1/2

connections, with different size units to meet your needs.

The Mineral Tank is a noncorrosive fiberglass tank with a one-piece

thermoplastic inner liner in compliance with FDA under 21 CFR -

Part 177. The tank has a working pressure of 150 PSI, or maximum

temperature of 120F.

The exchange media is a polystyrene strong acid cation resin in

the sodium form. It has a maximum exchange capacity of 30,000

grains per cubic feet, when regenerated with 15 lbs. salt.

The valve body is constructed of high quality brass to assure long

life. The piston is Teflon coated to prevent wear and allow foreign

particles to pass without damage to the piston.

The unit is a twin alternating system, where one unit is in service

and the other unit regenerated and in standby. Regeneration cycle

is fully adjustable to meet your changing needs.

Regeneration on the LCTA 150 Series is initiated by the 9500

Econominder Water Meter. Once a preset number of gallons flow

through the system, and the meter zeroes out, the unit in service

starts to regenerate and the unit in standby is put into service.

Once the unit completes its regeneration cycle, it automatically

goes into standby.

Softening of water by the ion exchange process involves the

exchange or substitution of the hardness minerals, chiefly calcium

and magnesium, for sodium minerals. The exchange is made

possible because the minerals are ionic in nature (often called

ionized impurities), which means they have an electrical charge.

The ion exchange process is based on the fact that like charges

repel one another, and unlike charges attract.

Calcium and magnesium ions in water are actually dissolved rock.

They have been dissolved by water, the universal solvent. As the

water trickles down through strata of rock and soil it dissolves the

calcium and magnesium deposits. This dissolved rock eventually

finds its way into an underground aquifer and when water from the

aquifer is pumped to the surface, it contains the dissolved hardness

minerals of calcium and magnesium and is said to be hard water.

An ion exchange softener exchanges the hardness minerals,

calcium and magnesium, for sodium, from the softener resin.

Sodium is less objectionable because it does not build up on

surfaces as scale deposits.

All three minerals are positively charged ions called cations. The

exchange takes place by passing water containing hardness

minerals over a man-made ion exchange resin contained in a suit-

able tank. The resin, polystyrene divinyl benzene in most modern

softeners, consists of millions of tiny plastic beads, all of which

contain many negatively charged exchange sites attracting positivecations. When the resin is in the regenerated state these negatively

charged exchange sites hold positively charged sodium cations.

As the calcium and magnesium contact the resin beads in their

travel through the resin tank, they displace the sodium ions from

the exchange sites. During the ion exchange process, relatively

small amounts of other strongly charged cations such as iron and

manganese are also removed along with the calcium and

magnesium.

Ion exchange is possible for two reasons: (1) All cations do not

have the same strength of positive charge and (2) the resin prefers

the more strongly charged cations calcium and magnesium than it

does the weaker sodium cations.

The exchanged sodium cations pass downward through the resin

bed and out the softener outlet; thus, the softener delivers soft

water.

Eventually, all of the resin exchange sites are occupied by calcium

and magnesium and no further exchange can take place. The resin

is said to be exhausted and must be regenerated.

The softener resin is regenerated with a dilute brine

solution of sodium chloride (common salt) and water. During

regeneration the flow of service water from the softener is first

stopped. Brine is drawn from the brine tank mixing with a separate

stream of water. The brine solution flows downward through the

resin, contacting the resin beads loaded with calcium and

magnesium ions. Even though the calcium and magnesium are

more strongly charged than the sodium, the concentrated brine

solution contains literally billions of the more weakly charged

sodium ions which have the power to displace the smaller

number of calcium and magnesium ions. When the calcium and

magnesium ions are displaced, the positive sodium ions are attracted

to the negative exchange sites. Eventually, all sites are filled by

sodium ions and the resin is said to be regenerated and ready for

the next softening cycle.

REGENERATION STEPS AND PURPOSE

Tank Switching When unit in service depletes the pre-set volume

of water and regeneration is initiated, the service flow automatically

switches from the unit exhausted to the unit that was in standby.

Backwash Flow through the resin bed is reversed. Water flows

upward, expanding and agitating the resin bed. This action loosens

sediment that may have collected on the resin during service andis flushed to drain. Resin fines which developed during service are

also removed.

Brine In Brine is educted from the brine tank, passes through the

resin during service, and is flushed to drain. Resin fines, which

developed during service, are also removed.

Slow Rinse After the brine has been introduced, brine air check

is closed, allowing water to flow through eductor at a slow rate,

displacing the brine remaining in the resin bed. This insures good

utilization of the brine.

Fast Rinse The resin is now flushed downward at a set flow rate.

This resettles the bed and rinses out any remaining brine left in the

resin bed.

Brine Fill Brine tank is refilled with a preset amount of water to

dissolve salt for the next regeneration.

After the brine fill step the unit is ready for service, thus

completing the regeneration cycle. The unit then places itself into

the standby mode.

Connect raw water supply line to the inlet valve connection.

Connect treated water outlet to service line. It is suggested

that pipe sizes be equal to or one size larger than the valve

connection.

Warning: When piping with copper, solder all piping as sub-

assemblies before installing. Internal valve damage can result from

the high heat of the torch.

It is recommended that manual isolation valves be installed on the

inlet and outlet piping along with a system bypass valve. This will

isolate the unit when service is required. (See Section 10 Typical

Piping Arrangement Drawing)

Connect Drain to a sump, drain trench or other open drain. Open

drains are required for taking samples and allowing a visual check.Avoid overhead pipe runs to drain facility, as undue back pressure

will affect the operation of injectors.

NOTE:All piping is to meet your state and local code.

Position brine tank approximately 6 from the softener tank on a

level smooth surface.

Connect the brine air check assembly in the salt/brine tank to the

brine suction (eductor) connection. If brine tank is located more

than six feet from softener tank, use one size larger tubing.

Tubing 5/8 may be installed from the brine tank overflow to drain.

This is a gravity drain designed to divert brine overflow to the drain

in the event of a malfunction which could cause overflow of the

brine tank.

Be sure inlet/outlet isolation valves are closed and by-pass valve

is open.

Conduct a visual check of all equipment for any damage that may

have occurred during shipping.

NOTE: If there is obvious damage to any equipment, it must benoted on the carriers Bill of Lading. Open and inspect the contents

of all closed crates, cartons, etc. and inspect for concealed damage.

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage during transit.

Position the equipment in its proper location, setting on a flat

surface. Level equipment as required; both tanks must be at the

same weight. Equipment out of plumb can exhibit poor flow

characteristics which will affect the performance and regeneration

of the system.

Load media if required. (See Section 7 Media Loading)

NOTE: Units 12 and smaller are shipped with media (resin and

gravel), distribution tube, and control valve installed.

Warning: If new distribution tube is to be installed, it must be cut

1/16 below top of tank (valve) mounting.

Unit should be positioned with the valve control facing forward.

Install 1-1/2 copper interconnecting pipe.

Check the main line war pressure. The softener is designed for a

minimum of 30 psi and a maximum of 120 psi working pressure. If

the line pressure exceeds this limit, a pressure-reducing valve

should be installed.

NOTE: Injector flow rates are based on approximately 40 to 60 psi

working pressure.

Maximum allowable water temperature of 120F. A 120 Vac, 60-

cycle electrical source must be available for operation of the

control timer.

Start-Up Instructions

The start-up of this system is relatively simple and should be easily

accomplished. It is suggested that the start-up procedure be reviewed

thoroughly until each step is fully understood.

Tank #1 will have control valve.

Tank #2 will have tank adapter.

Remove Control Box Cover. Notice the indicator located on right side

of housing with two arrows that tell you the control valve position

during regeneration and which tank is in service. Do not plug unit into

electrical outlet yet.

On units without bypass lever, close

inlet/outlet isolation valves and open

bypass valve and flush piping. Once

piping has been flushed, open inlet/

outlet isolation valves and close by-

pass valve. Let water flow into the

mineral tank. When water flow stops,

open cold water tap nearby and let

run until system is relieved of air

pressure.

Next, plug unit into electrical outlet.

DO NOT INSERT METER CABLE YET.

Turn manual regeneration knob so that indicator mentioned above

shows valve is in backwash position (See Section 6 Manual

Regeneration) to relieve any air from the vessel.

With a water hose, fill the brine tank with approximately 6 of water.

Let cycle timer automatically switch to second position brine

in/slow rinse. Observe brine (water) draw from brine tank. Once

water drops to a certain level a ball check in the brine well closes,

thus not allowing air in the system.

Move manual regeneration knob to the next position fast rinse.

Allow water to go to drain. Water color should be clear at the end

of step 10 minutes.

Timer will automatically move to next position brine refill. Once

brine refill step is complete, check water in brine tank. Water level

should be approximately 1 above grid plate. If not, adjust brine

refill time accordingly. (See Section 6 How to Change

Regeneration Cycle Times)

Allow timer to return to home (Service) position automatically.

Once back in the service position, cycle the control valve again intothe backwash position. The tanks will switch and relieve any air

from the other vessel. Slowly cycle the control valve back to the

service position. (See Section 6 Manual Regeneration)

Unplug unit from electrical outlet when setting the gallon wheel.

Knowing the amount of resin per each tank and the salt setting per

regeneration, calculate the gallons available. (See Section 3

Exchange Capacity Data)

The 9500 valve regenerates with soft water from the other tank.

Water used for regeneration must be subtracted from total gallons

available. (See Section 3 Eductor and Flow Control Data)

Example: 20 Diameter Tank

A. Backwash . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(10 min) (12 gpm) = 120.0 gal.

Program Setting

Procedure


SET GALLONS CALCULATED

Lift (pull hub toward you) the gallon label wheel (the inner dial of

the meter program wheel) so you can rotate meter program wheel

freely.

Position the white dot on the meter program wheel opposite the

approximate number of gallons calculated.

NOTE: There is a slight delay time from the time the meter zeros

out and when the cycle starts. Units using the 1/15 rpm motor,

82 minute regeneration time available (tanks 6 thru 12) have a

9 minute delay. Units using the 1/30 rpm motor, 180 minute regen-

eration time available (tanks 13 and larger) have an 18 minute

delay. Typically on residential equipment this delay period is

not critical. On commercial applications, this must be taken into

consideration and continuous flows for 9 minutes or 18 minutes

should be subtracted from water available.

NOTE: If during the setting of your meter wheel, or your water

usage is such that the capacity of the in-service unit is exhausted

before the timer is back into service; the trip arm will advance past

the position shown and the Meter Reset Stop will stall in the

12:00 position. No regenerations will be initiated. To get unit back

to proper position: 1st turn manual regeneration knob into

backwash, and 2nd lift the reset plate up and allow the meter

program wheel to reset itself.

Insert meter cable into meter and controller.

Check that both inlet/outlet isolation valves are open and the

bypass valve is closed.

Check that system bypass valve is in the service position. Plug unit

in electrical outlet.

Unit is ready for service.

HOW TO SET THE

REGENERATION CYCLE PROGRAM

The regeneration cycle program on your water conditioner has

been factory preset; however, portions of the cycle or program may

be lengthened or shortened in time to suit local conditions.

The timer face plate is hinged. To expose cycle program wheel,

grasp timer in lower right-hand corner and pull, releasing snapretainer and swinging timer to the left.

To change the regeneration cycle program, the program wheel

must be removed. Grasp program wheel and squeeze protruding

lugs towards center; lift program wheel off timer. (Switch arms may

require movement to facilitate removal).

Return timer to closed position engaging snap retainer in back

plate. Make certain all electrical wires locate above snap retainer post.

How to Change the Length of the Backwash Time:

The program wheel as shown in the drawing is in the service

position. As you look at the numbered side of the program wheel,

the group of pins starting at zero determines the length of time your

unit will backwash.

FOR EXAMPLE: If there are six pins in this section, the time of

backwash will be 12 min. (2 min. per pin). To change the length of

backwash time, add or remove pins as required. The number of

pins times two equals the backwash time in minutes.


10/14

SECTION 7

How to Change the Length of Brine and Rinse Time:

The group of holes between the last pin in the backwash sectionand the second group of pins determines the length of time that

your unit will brine and rinse (2 min. per hole).

To change the length of brine and rinse time, move the rapid rinse

group of pins to give more or fewer holes in the brine and rinsesection. Number of holes times two equals brine and rinse time in

minutes.

How to Change the Length of Rapid Rinse:

The second group of pins on the program wheel determines thelength of time that your water conditioner will rapid rinse (2 min.

per pin).

To change the length to rapid rinse time, add or remove pins at the

higher numbered end of this section as required. The number ofpins times two equals the rapid rinse time in minutes.

How to Change the Length of Brine Tank Refill Time:

The second group of holes on the program wheel determines the

length of time that your water conditioner will refill the brine tank (2

min. per hole).To change the length of refill time, move the two pins at the end ofthe second group of holes as required.

The regeneration cycle is complete when the outer micro-switch istripped by the two pin set at end of the brine tank refill section. The

program wheel, however, will continue to rotate until the innermicro-switch drops into the notch on the program wheel.

MANUAL REGENERATION

Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise until the service

position indicator is in the 3:00 position. This slight movement ofthe Manual Regeneration Knob engages the program wheel andstarts the reset motor.

The black center knob will make one revolution.

Warning: When you manually move cycle timer to different

regeneration steps you must wait until positioning of upper andlower piston has stopped before advancing to next step. Ifadvanced too fast the control will not advance to the service

position or to any other position. To correct this, rotate the manualknob back to service and start again.

When manual regeneration is engaged, position of regeneration

cycle is shown by the arrow on the position indicator.

MediaLoadingMedia loading or replacement is sometimes required for units in thefield. Replacement of media is relatively simple, if the following pro-

cedure is followed:

Replacement of Media

Close inlet/outlet isolation valve of unit to be rebedded.

Manually turn timer dial to backwash position (See Section 6

Manual Regeneration) to relieve vessel pressure.

Unplug electrical connection of unit.

Disconnect inlet, outlet, drain, and brine lines. Unscrew valve headfrom tank.

Remove distribution tube from tank and visually inspect for any

damage or wear replace if necessary.

Warning: If new distribution tube is to be installed, it must be cut1/16 below top of tank (valve) mounting connection.

Empty tank into resin trap/strainer, holding the resin/gravel andallowing water to flow to drain. Dispose of used media. Relocatetank in original location.

NOTE: Disposal of resin must meet local and state regulations.

Loading of Media

Install distribution tube in mineral tank. Place a cap or tape over the

open end of distributor to prevent any media from entering. Fill tankwith approximately one-third water to act as a buffer.

Slowly pour the required amount of media in each vessel: Gravel to be loaded first

Resin to be loaded second

Multiple tank system, divide the gravel and resin quantitiesequally per number of vessels.

Clean top of tank and tank threads of any resin or gravel. Removecap or tape from distribution tube and clean.

Visually check and clean valve and distribution O Ring of any

foreign matter and lubricate with silicone or soap.

NOTE: Do not use Vaseline or grease.

Locate control valve on tank making certain riser tube is locatedproperly. Tighten valve to tank.

Reposition and level tank if necessary to assure proper alignment.

Connect inlet, outlet, drain, and brine connections.

The unit is ready for start-up. (See Section 5)
