Argosy Research H-125 Series Manual De Usuario

• Do not use vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or

spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used

on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of

lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.

• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Only teflon

tape may be used on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary

on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

• The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”.

Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess

of 20’ require 1” drain line.

1. Place the conditioner where you want to install it, making

sure it is on a clean, level and firm base.

2. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet and

drain line to drain). 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.

3. 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.

4. A jumper ground wire should be installed between the

inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic continuity of

a water distribution piping system is interrupted. Install

jumper ground wire on metal pipes.

5. The drain connection may be made using either 5/8” polytube

(See figure 6a, page 6) or a 3/4” female adapter. If soldering,

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.

6. The brine 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 saltkeeper.

7. Connect the brine line found in the brine tank to the brine

connection on the control valve. The control valve has a

standard refill elbow which a 3/8” flexible tube can be con-

nected, see figure 6a, page 6. (An optional elbow can be

ordered which accommodates a 1/2” flexible tube for a high

regenerant draw rate situation). Both elbows use the same

refill flow control and retainer. Do not connect the other end

of the brine line to the safety brine valve in the brine tank at

this time. Make sure the floor is clean beneath the salt tank

and that it is level and smooth.

8. A 1/2” (inside diameter) gravity drain line should be connected

to the overflow elbow on the side of the brine tank and run to
a drain below the level of the elbow. This overflow drainage
system provides protection from water damage in the event
of a brine shut-off malfunction. Tubing is not provided to
do this.

In all cases where an overflow could result in water dam-
age for various reasons, this overflow protection must be
used. Do not connect the tubing to the drain line on the
control valve discharge line and do not run this line above
the overflow elbow height at any point. Provide air gap.
