Introduction
This manual is about a control valve to be used on water softeners or water filters. The manual is designed to aid water treatment
equipment manufacturers in the selection of the various control valve options. Information in this manual is different than what is
needed for installation and servicing of a particular water treatment system. This manual is not intended to be used as a manual for
a complete water softener or filter. Certain parts of the manual will serve as aids to manufacturers in the writing and layout of the
manuals for installers and service personnel.

General Warnings (Must appear in OEM’s manual)

The following general warnings and the specifications in Table 1 must appear in the OEM’s System Manual.

The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to
support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black
o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on the clear lip seals.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench. If necessary a pliers can be
used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place a screwdriver in the slots on
caps and/or tap with a hammer.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Use teflon tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain fittings. Teflon tape is not
necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive assembly or the drive cap assembly and pistons, unplug power source
jack from the printed circuit board (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston
position.

All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of ½”.
Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require ¾” drain line.

Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the drain
line control fitting and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could
cause interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting.

When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach
the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should
be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on
any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.

Plug into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the outlet is
uninterrupted.)

Install grounding strap on metal pipes.

Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation

This glass filled Noryl1  (or equivalent) fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate
all cycles of a downflow regeneration water softener or filter.

The time clock control valve can be set to perform downflow regeneration or simply backwash. The time clock control valve has
two calendar options for regeneration frequency:
1. an option where the user can choose the number of days (1-99) between each regeneration; and
2. a seven-day option where the user can choose which day(s) of the week a regeneration should occur.

The control valve is compatible with a variety of regenerants and resin cleaners. The control valve is capable of routing the flow
of water in the necessary paths to regenerate or backwash water treatment systems. The injector regulates the flow of brine or
other regenerants. The control valve regulates the flow rates for backwashing, rinsing, and the replenishing of treated water into a
regenerant tank, when applicable.

The control valve uses no traditional fasteners (e.g. screws); instead clips, threaded caps and nuts and snap type latches are used.
Caps and nuts only need to be firmly hand tightened because radial seals are used. Tools required to service the valve include one
small blade screw driver, one large blade screw driver, pliers and a pair of hands. A plastic wrench is available which eliminates the
need for screwdrivers and pliers. Disassembly for servicing takes much less time than comparable products currently on the market.
Control valve installation is made easy because the distributor tube can be cut ½” above to ½” below the top of tank thread. The
distributor tube is held in place by an o-ring seal and the control valve also has a bayonet lock feature for upper distributor baskets.

The AC adapter power pack comes with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter power
pack is for dry location use only. If the power goes out, only the time of day needs to be reset. All other values are permanently
stored in the nonvolatile memory.

Table 3 shows the time for the backwash, regenerative, and rinse cycles for the ten available programming options. Six different
programs are available for a softener, one for a regenerative filter, and three programs for backwash only filters. When the control
valve is used as a:
1. softener, one or two backwashes occur and refill always occurs after the rinse cycle (P0 through P5);
2. regenerative filter, one backwash occurs and refill always occurs after the rinse cycle (P6); and
3. backwashing filter, one backwash occurs (P7 through P9).

The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at the delayed regeneration
time or to have the regeneration occur immediately. Simultaneously press the UP + DOWN buttons to start a regeneration at the
next delayed regeneration time. If a regeneration is to occur today an arrow will point to regeneration. For immediate regeneration,
simultaneously press and hold the UP + DOWN buttons for three seconds.

When in regeneration, step through the different regeneration cycles by simultaneously pressing the UP + DOWN buttons.

The control valve consists of the following components:

1. Drive Assembly
2. Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston
3. Spacer Stack Assembly
4. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector
5. Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug
6. Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

9. Bypass Valve (optional)

Note: The WS1TC & WS1.25TC share many of the same components. Refer to Figure 6 for control valve identification.
Page  WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual

Drive Assembly

The drive assembly consists of the following parts:

• Drive Bracket
• Printed Circuit (PC) Board
• Motor
• Drive Gears
• Drive Gear Cover

The drive bracket holds the PC board, the motor, the drive gears and the drive gear cover in place.

The PC board receives and retains information, displays the information, determines when to regenerate and initiates regeneration.

The PC board powers the motor. The PC board’s two-prong jack connects wires to the direct current (DC) motor. The motor is held
in place on the drive bracket by a spring-loaded clip and a small bulge in the plastic, which fits in one of the slots on the motor
housing. The motor turns drive gears that drive the piston to cycle positions for backwashing, regeneration, rinsing, refill or service.
The motor is fully reversible (turns both ways) and changes direction of rotation to change the direction of piston motion. The motor
is easily replaced if necessary.

There are three drive gears held in place by the drive gear cover. All three drive gears are the same size. A reflective coating is
applied to the gears. As the center drive gear turns a light shines on the coating and a light sensing diode determines if a light pulse
was returned. The PC board counts the pulses and determines when to stop driving the motor.

Drive Cap Assembly, Downflow Piston and Regenerant Piston

The drive gears turn the main gear of the drive cap assembly, which moves the piston. The screw-driven, horizontally moving
piston stops at specific positions to direct the flow of water to backwash, regenerate, rinse or refill. The PC board determines the
position of the piston by counting pulses produced when the piston is moved. An optical sensor looking at one of the reduction
drive gears generates these pulses. Each cycle position is defined by a number of pulses. The counter is zeroed each time the valve
goes to the service position. The PC board finds the service position by noting the increase in current delivered to the motor when
the mechanical stop at the service position is reached. This method of controlling piston position allows for greater flexibility and
requires no switches or cams (U.S. Patent 6444127).

The downflow piston is used when the control valve is used as a downflow softener, regnerating filter or non-regenerating filter. If
the control valve is used as a softener or a regenerating filter, a regenerant piston must be attached to the downflow piston. If the
control valve is to be used on system that does not require a regenerant to be added, the regenerant piston must be removed.

One of two main pistons is always used:

1. A 1.25" diameter downflow piston is used when the WS1TC control valve is used as a downflow softener, regenerating filter or
non-regenerating filter.
2. A 1.5" diameter downflow piston is used when the WS1.25TC control valve is used as a downflow softener, regenerating filter
or non-regenerating filter.

If the control valve is used as a softener or a regenerating filter, a regenerant piston must be attached to the main piston. If the
control valve is to be used on a system that does not require a regenerant to be added, the regenerant piston must be removed.

Spacer Stack Assembly

The spacer stack assembly provides the necessary flow passage for water during the different cycles. The all-plastic spacer stack
assembly (U.S. Patent 6402944) is a one-piece design which allows the stack to be removed using your fingers.

The exterior of the stack is sealed against the body bore with self lubricating EPDM o-rings, while the interior surface is sealed
against the piston using slippery self cleaning directional (one-way) silicone lip seals. The lip seals are clear and have a special
slippery coating so that the piston does not need to be lubricated.
WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual Page 

Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector

The screen, injector and/or injector plug(s) are installed under the injector cap in an easy to access location on top of the valve. The
injector cap contains four slots so no water accumulates in the cap. The injector cap is designed to be hand tightened.

Under the injector cap there is an easy to clean removable screen to prevent fouling of the injector. There are two holes under the
injector cap labeled “DN” and “UP”. The holes will be filled with a plug or an injector.

The plug (Order # V3010-1Z) prevents water from traveling a certain pathway. The injector lets water pass through the pathway.
The self-priming injector increases the velocity of the water, creating a zone of negative pressure that draws in the concentrated
liquid regenerant, such as sodium chloride (brine), potassium permanganate, etc. The regenerant blends with the stream of water,
which passes through the media to regenerate the bed.

The injector provides a consistent regenerant/water mixture ratio over the entire operating pressure range of the control valve. The
injector provides good performance in a variety of applications, which may involve elevated drain lines and long regenerant draw
lengths. Injectors are chosen by knowing the type, amount, and regenerant flow rate for a particular type of media. Guidelines can
be found in the media manufacturer’s literature. The color coded injectors give different regenerant draw, slow rinse and total flow
rates over the pressure range. See Table 4 for color codings, and injector graphs for total, slow rinse and draw flow rates.

V3010-1H Green 14"
V3010-1I Orange 16"
V3010-1J Light Blue 18"
V3010-1K Light Green 22"

The control valve has been designed so that the OEM can rapidly change the control valve to allow for the following options:
• regeneration downflow (for softeners or regenerating filters install injector in DN location, plug in UP location); or
• no regeneration (both the DN and UP holes have injector plugs installed) and plug installed for the refill elbow.

Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug

The refill flow control assembly consists of a refill flow elbow, refill flow control retainer assembly, refill flow control, polytube
insert and nut assembly. The refill flow control retainer fits in the refill elbow. The refill flow control retainer houses the refill flow
control which controls the flow rate when the regenerant tank is being refilled. The refill flow control is a flexible washer-like
part with a small orifice and a precision molded contour that delivers a steady 0.5 gpm regenerant tank refill rate at varying inlet
pressures. Refill is accomplished with treated water.

2
Actual tank size used may vary depending on the design and application of the system. Tank diameter is an approximation for a
downflow softener using standard mesh synthetic cation exchange media regenerating with sodium chloride.
Page 10 WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual

The refill flow control assembly is installed in an easy to access refill elbow located on top of the control valve. The refill flow
control assembly is attached to the control valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow to rotate 270 degrees so the
outlet can be orientated towards the regenerant tank.

The control valve has a standard refill elbow to which a 3/8” flexible tube can be connected. An optional elbow can be ordered
which accommodates a ½” flexible tube for a high regenerant draw rate situation (G injectors and larger). Both elbows use the same
refill flow control and retainer.

If the control valve is to be used as a non-regenerant filter control valve, the refill elbow is removed and replaced with a refill port
plug P/N V3195-01.

Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

The drain line flow control assembly includes a drain line flow control and a fitting. The drain line flow control allows proper media
bed expansion by regulating the flow rate to the drain. The drain line flow control is a flexible washer-like part with an orifice and
a precision molded contour. The flow rates are within ± 10% over the pressure range of 20 psi to 125 psi. See Table 5 for flow rate
information.

The drain line flow control and fitting are located on top of the control valve and replaceable without the use of special tools.

The drain line flow control can be installed in the standard ¾” drain line elbow, which accommodates 5/8” polytube or ¾” NPT drain
line connections. The optional nut and polytube insert for the ¾” drain line elbow is designed for use with flexible polytube only.
The ¾” drain line elbow can be rotated 180 degrees so the outlet can be orientated to the nearest drain. The same retainer is used for
all drain line flow controls for the ¾” fitting. Drain line flow controls designed for the ¾” fitting are available for flow rates ranging
from 0.7 to 10 gpm.

An optional 1” straight drain line fitting is available to accommodate drain line flow rates ranging from 9 to 25 gpm. This fitting is
straight but still connects to the control valve using the same locking clip. The drain line flow control is located between two fitted
parts (i.e. the fitting acts as the retainer). The nut is unscrewed to access the drain line flow control.
WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual Page 11

Mixing Valve
The mixing valve is installed on the outlet side of the control valve. The mixing valve is used to blend raw water with treated water.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired flow rate. Open the mixing valve until the
desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Installation Fitting Assemblies

The installation fittings are used to connect the optional bypass or the control valve to the plumbing system. There are eight
installation fitting assemblies available:

1. 1” NPT elbow assembly

2. ¾” & 1” PVC solvent weld elbow fitting assembly
3. 1” straight brass sweat fitting assembly3 
4. ¾” straight brass sweat fitting assembly3
5. 1” plastic male NPT fitting assembly
6. 1¼” plastic male NPT fitting assembly
7. 1” plastic male BSPT fitting assembly
8. 1¼” plastic male BSPT fitting assembly
9. 1¼” & 1½” brass sweat fitting assembly3
10. 1¼” & 1½” PVC solvent fitting assembly

Both elbow fittings have a unique drill out feature to allow a ¼” NPT connection to the inlet and/or outlet which can be used for a
RO feed, test ports, pressure tap ports, etc.

The installation fitting assemblies are sold in pairs and consist of two fittings, two nuts, two split rings and two o-rings. The
installation fitting assemblies and the bypass valve are sold separately from the control valve.

Page 12 WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control
valve repairs or maintenance. The WS1 bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility
and state of the art design features. The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that
allows service personal to work on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypass water to the facility or residence. Its
completely non-metallic, all-plastic design allows for easy access and serviceability without the need for tools.

The bypass body and rotors are glass filled Noryl4 (or equivalent) and the nuts and caps are glass filled polypropylene. All seals are
self-lubricating EPDM to help prevent valve seizing after long periods of non-use. Internal o-rings can easily be replaced if service
is required.

The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow-shaped handles. The handles
identify the flow direction of the water. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.

1. Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows
on the control valve. Water flows through the control valve during normal operation and this position also allows the
control valve to isolate the media bed during the regeneration cycle. (See Figure 1)
2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass, the control valve is isolated from the water
pressure contained in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the plumbing system. (See Figure 2)
3. Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points in the direction of flow and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass
valve, system water pressure is allowed to the control valve and the plumbing system while not allowing water to exit from
the control valve to the plumbing. (See Figure 3)
4. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points in the direction of
flow, the water is shut off to the plumbing system . If water is available on the outlet side of the softener it is an indication
of water bypass around the system (i.e. a plumbing connection somewhere in the building bypasses the system). (See
Figure 4)

OEM General Instructions

The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modified to suit the needs of the installation. These
procedures are:

• OEM System Setup

• Installer Displays & Settings (either 1-99 Days Between Regeneration option or 7-Day option)
• User Displays

These procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided below and on the following pages.

When in operation, normal user displays show the time of day or days remaining before regeneration. When stepping through a

User Displays

General Operation

When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing UP or DOWN button will
alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day (to the nearest
hour). The second display is the days remaining until the next regeneration. If the days remaining
or
➟

is equal to one, a regeneration will occur at the next preset regeneration time. The user can scroll
between displays as desired.

If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the arrow
will point to Regen.

Regeneration Mode

Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with
low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is
regenerating, untreated water will be used.

When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to indicate the cycle of the
regeneration process (see Table 3) that is occurring and an arrow will also point to Regen. The
system will run through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when
the regeneration is completed.
Page 18 WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual

Manual Regeneration An arrow will point

Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as to the word Regen

To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, simultaneously press UP
+ DOWN buttons together and release. The arrow will point to the word Regen if a regeneration is
expected “tonight.” To cancel the regeneration simultaneously press UP + DOWN buttons and release.

To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, simultaneously press UP + DOWN buttons together for
three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.
Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.

Power Loss

If the power goes out current time of day will need to be reset. If the power goes out while the system is regenerating, the cycle
picks up where it was interrupted when the power returns.

Error Message

If “E1,” “E2” or “E3” appears on the display contact the OEM for help. This indicates that the
valve did not function properly.

Installation

Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug

Control valves that are setup for backwash only come equipped with a refill port plug. The refill port plug has no regenerant line
connection.

Control valves that use a regenerant come equipped with a 3/8” refill flow control assembly. To switch to the ½” refill flow control
assembly, remove the refill flow control and retainer (from the 3/8” refill elbow) by twisting and pulling out. Insert the refill flow
control and retainer into the ½” refill elbow.

To complete the regenerant line connection, orientate the outlet in the desired direction and push the plastic insert into the polytube.
Push the polytube into the nut. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. The threads for the compression nut do not need
Teflon tape. Tighten the nut securely to create a pressure tight connection. A pliers or crescent wrench may be used to tighten or
unscrew the nut. The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a 3 piece assembly that can come apart if removed from the elbow body.
Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown in refill flow control assembly drawing to function properly. If the nut is completely
removed from the body, slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve on to the tube then tighten on to the fitting.

Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

To determine which drain line flow control to use, obtain media bed expansion tables from the media manufacturer, choose a water
temperature and look up the desired backwash rate per square foot of bed area. Then calculate the backwash rate using the desired
tank diameter. Using Table 5, choose the drain line flow control that has the backwash flow rate closest to the calculated backwash
rate. If a manufacturer chooses to use an external drain line flow control, use a drain elbow fitting that does not contain a hole.

If the drain line is a 5/8” flexible polytube, slide the nut onto the polytube, then place the polytube insert into the end of the polytube
WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual Page 19

and tighten the nut on to the ¾” drain line fitting. The nut is only designed for use with flexible polytube. Use other nuts if attaching
different materials.

To access the drain line flow control remove the locking clip by pulling it straight out. Pull fitting out and replace the locking clip so
that it is not misplaced. The drain line fitting is pressed in and has an o-ring seal.

In the ¾” elbow, the white flow control retainer is pressed in and has an o-ring seal. The retainer can be removed by rotating and
pulling. The flow control can be removed by prying upward with a small blade flat screwdriver in one of the slots on the side. The
drain line flow control and retainer can be chemically cleaned in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replaced. Do not use a wire
brush to clean the flow control or the washer. The washers are identified with three numbers, which correspond to the flow rate.
When reinstalling make sure the identifying number and the rounded inside diameter on the washer is visible when seated in the
retainer. The white flow control washer retainer can also be removed and cleaned. Push the retainer in firmly when reinstalling.

In the 1” straight fitting, the retainer is the fitting. Unscrew the nut to access the flow control. The drain line flow control and the
fitting can be chemically cleaned or replaced. Do not use a wire brush to clean the flow control or the fitting.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring. Use a
pliers or crescent wrench to tighten or unscrew the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nut. Do not use pipe dope
or other sealants on threads. Use Teflon tape on the threads of the drain line control fitting when installing ¾” NPT or 1” straight
fitting.

Installation Fitting Assemblies

The installation fittings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten
nut connections between control valve and installation fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation
fittings allow for easy serviceability. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts on installation fittings. Hand tighten only.

The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area, reducing the chance for
leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the installation fittings allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the
plumbing system. The installation fittings are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to
support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

When assembling the installation fitting package, connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring
and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent
cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the
o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Solvent cements and primers should be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Slip the nut onto the fitting first, then the split ring second and the o-ring last. Hand tighten the nut. If the fitting is leaking tightening
the nut will not stop the leak. Remove the nut, remove the fitting, and check for damage or misalignment of the o-ring.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Use Teflon tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain fittings. Teflon tape is not
necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten nut
connections between control valve and fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation fittings allow
for easy serviceability. The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface
area, reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the bypass allows approximately 2 degrees off axis
alignment to the plumbing system. The bypass is designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but is not designed to
support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Do not use pipe
dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.
Page 20 WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual

Mixing Valve

The mixing valve is an option on the control valve. If the control valve is ordered with a mixing valve it will be installed in the
control valve assembly process.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired flow rate. Open the mixing valve until the
desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Note: The use of the mixing valve requires modification to the valve body. These modifications should not be done in the field.

Service Instructions

Drive Assembly

Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.

Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor plug from the PC board. The
power source plug connects to the four-pin jack. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board.

The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the display
panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the drive bracket, unplug the power and
motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the top of the drive bracket while pulling outward on the top of the PC
board. The drive bracket has one plastic pin that fits into the hole on the lower edge of the PC board. Once the PC board is tilted
about 45° from the drive bracket it can be lifted off of the pin. To reinstall the PC board, position the lower edge of the PC board so
that the hole in the PC board lines up with the plastic pin. Push the top of the PC board towards the valve. Align the upper hole on
lefthand side of PC board with the pin and push in until the PC board snaps under the middle latch, weave the power wire into the
holders and reconnect the motor and power plugs.

The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is not necessary to
remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive bracket start by removing the plug
for the power source. Unweave the wire from the side holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back plate hold the drive bracket in
place. Simultaneously lift the two tabs and gently ease the top of the drive bracket forward. The lower edge of the drive bracket has
two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on the drive bracket to disengage the notches.

To reassemble, seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the drive back plate. Push the top of
the drive bracket toward the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be lifted slightly to let the threaded piston rod pass through
the hole in the drive bracket. Maintain a slight engaging force on top of the drive bracket while deflecting the bracket slightly to the
left by pressing on the side of the upper right corner. This helps the drive gears mesh with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket
is properly seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive back plate. If resistance is felt before latching, then notches are not
fully engaged, the piston rod is not in hole, the power wire is jammed between the drive bracket and drive back plate, or the gear is
not engaging the drive cap assembly.

To inspect the drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. Before trying to remove the gear cover, the drive bracket must
be removed from the drive back plate. (Refer to the instructions above regarding removing the drive bracket from the drive back
plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from the drive bracket without removing the motor or the PC board.) The drive gear
cover is held in place on the drive bracket by three clips. The largest of the three clips is always orientated to the bottom of the drive
bracket. With the PC board facing up, push in and down on the large clip on the drive gear cover. Handle the cover and the gears
carefully so that the gears to not fall off of the pegs in the cover.

Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the reflective coating
because dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.

The drive gear cover only fits on one way, with the large clip orientated towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of the gear
shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place.

The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To remove the motor, discon-
nect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Rotate the motor
at least a ¼ turn in either direction so the wires are vertical (up & down) before gently pulling on the wire connectors to remove the
motor. Pulling directly on the wires without rotating the motor may break the wires off the motor.
Page 38 WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual

Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. To reinstall the motor, move the spring clip loop to the
right and hold. Gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover.
Release the spring clip loop and continue to rotate the motor until the wires are horizontal and the motor housing engages the small
plastic bulge inside the drive bracket motor retainer. Reconnect the motor plug to the two-pronged jack on the lower left hand side
of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive gears when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate the motor before
reinserting. Reconnect the power plug.

Replace the valve cover. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET HOUR and DOWN buttons for 3 seconds or
unplug power source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service
piston position.

Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston

The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly must be removed to access the
piston(s). The drive cap assembly is threaded into the control valve body and seals with an o-ring. To remove the drive cap assembly
use the special plastic wrench or insert a ¼” to ½” flat blade screwdriver into one of the slots around the top 2” of the drive cap
assembly so it engages the notches molded into the drive back plate around the top 2” of the piston cavity. See Figure 5. The notches
are visible through the holes. Lever the screwdriver so the drive cap assembly turns counter clockwise. Once loosened unscrew the
drive cap assembly by hand and pull straight out.

Figure 5

The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts that should
not be dissembled in the field. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the o-ring. Attached to the drive cap assembly
is the main piston and, if a regenerant is used, a regenerant piston.
WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual Page 39

The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by pressing sideways and
unsnapping it from its latch. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To
remove the main piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the
number. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the main piston.

Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not lubricate
the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston. Lubricant will adversely affect the clear lip seals. Reinsert the drive cap assembly
and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue to tighten the drive cap assembly using
the special wrench or a screwdriver as a ratchet until the black o-ring on the spacer stack assembly is no longer visible through the
drain port. Excessive force can break the notches molded into the drive back plate. Make certain that the main drive gear still turns
freely. The exact position of the piston is not important as long as the main drive gear turns freely.

Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET
HOUR and DOWN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This
resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position.

Note: Refer to Figure 6 to identify the main piston.

Spacer Stack Assembly

(Refer to Figure 6 for WS1TC & WS1.25TC spacer stack identification.)
To access the spacer stack assembly remove the drive assembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack assembly can
be removed easily without tools by using thumb and forefinger. Inspect the black o-rings and clear lip seals for wear or damage.
Replace the entire stack if necessary. Do not disassemble the WS1TC or WS1.25TC stack.

The spacer stack assembly may be chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar) or wiped with a soft cloth.

The spacer stack assembly can be pushed in to the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can be
compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (5/8” to 1-1/8” in diameter) to push the center of the assembly into the control valve
body. The assembly is properly seated when at least four threads are exposed (approximately 5/8”). Do not force the spacer stack
assembly in. The control valve body bore interior can be lubricated with silicone to allow for easy insertion of the entire stack. Do
not use silicone or any other type of lubricant on the clear lip seals or the piston.

Reattach the drive cap assembly and piston(s) and the drive assembly.

After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET HOUR and DOWN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack
(black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position.

Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector

Unscrew the injector cap and lift off. Loosen cap with special plastic wrench or pliers if necessary. Attached to the injector cap is a
screen. Remove the screen and clean if fouled.

The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screwdriver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace the entire
plug. The injector consists of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or sodium bisulfite. The holes can be
blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the flow rates of water to insure that the proper concentration
of regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should not be used to clean the injector. Scoring the injector or
increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating parameters of the injector.

Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug

To clean or replace the refill flow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight up on the elbow. Replace the elbow
locking clip in the slot so that it is not misplaced. Twist to remove the white flow control retainer. The flow control can be removed
by prying upward through the side slots of the retainer with a small flat blade screwdriver.

Chemically clean the flow control or the white flow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. Do not use a wire brush.
If necessary, replace the flow control, o-ring on the flow control retainer, or the o-ring on the elbow.

Reseat the flow control so the rounded end is visible in the flow control. Reseat the white flow control retainer by pushing the
retainer into the elbow until the o-ring seats. Remove locking clip, push down on elbow to reseat and insert locking clip.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring on the elbow or
the white retainer.

Meter Plug

This control valve does not come equipped with a meter, instead a plug is installed. The plug should not need to be serviced.

To remove the meter plug assembly, unscrew the meter cap on the left side of the control valve. Pliers may be used to unscrew the
nut if necessary.

With the nut removed, a slot at the top of the meter plug is visible. Twist a flat blade screwdriver in the slot between the control
valve body and the meter plug. When the meter plug is part way out it is easy to remove the meter plug from the housing.

Do not use a wire brush to clean the meter plug. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on the o-ring. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring.

Reinsert the meter plug into the side slot. Hand tighten the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nut.
WS1TC & WS1.25 TC Manual Page 41

Mixing Valve

The mixing valve is installed on the outlet side of the control valve. The mixing valve is used to blend raw water with treated water.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired flow rate. Open the mixing valve until the
desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Note: The use of the mixing valve requires modification to the valve body. These modifications should not be done in the field.

Bypass Valve

The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before working on
the rotors, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow-shaped handles towards the center of the bypass valve and
back several times to ensure rotor is turning freely.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap.
Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle out as one unit. Twisting the unit as you pull it out will help
to remove it more easily. There are three o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn
o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.

When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:

1. The handle pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows, and the rotor seal o-ring and retainer on both rotors
face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve; or
2. Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.

Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled 180° from their correct orientation. To install the red
arrow handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body while
tightening the bypass valve caps.

After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold SET HOUR and DOWN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack
(black wire) from the circuit board and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position.
