S11FS32DR8 / S11TS32DR8 Control Valve
Programming and Use Instructions
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP!
DO NOT DEPRESS THE BUTTONS OUT OF SEQUENCE!
A. SET CURRENT TIME OF DAY
1) Plug unit into a 115 volt grounded
outlet that is independent from a wall
switch or pull chain. When unit is plugged
in, the valve will show an alternating
display, first showing a flashing time of
day, followed by the volume of soft water
left in the system.
2) Locate the SET UP and SET DOWN
buttons with arrows pointing up and
down.
3) Set time of day by depressing either
SET UP or SET DOWN button to the
current time of day. Time must be set
correctly to AM or PM, as shown with dot
next to P.M. indicator.
B. SET GALLONS BETWEEN
REGENERATIONS
1) Depress both the SET UP and SET
DOWN buttons at the same time
and hold for five seconds. A number
800 should appear. This is the preset
amount of treated water that can flow
through the unit before a regeneration
is required. This number can be
determined from the chart shown in
Figure 2.

For example, for a family of three with
a water hardness value of 24 and little
or no iron in the water, the gallons/
regeneration value that should be set
in the valve would be 1100.
Water hardness will vary by location.
For best efficiency, the valve should
be programmed for each specific
installation.
To obtain information concerning the
hardness of the water to be treated,
purchase the 136958 mail-in test kit
from you dealer. Return a sample of
untreated water in the bottle provided
with the kit to the laboratory. The
water sample will be analyzed and the
results returned to you.
2) Set to desired gallons/regeneration
setting by depressing the SET UP or
SET DOWN buttons.
NOTE FOR WATER WITH RUST STAINS:
If iron is present in the water as evidenced
by red stains on clothes, fixtures, toilets,
etc., add 12 grains per gallon to the
previous water hardness setting and have
water retested.
Mix 2 ounces of Iron Out® or similar iron
cleaner with every 80 lbs. of salt used (if
above 5 ppm of iron, increase to 4 oz.) or
use a salt with iron control agent.
C. SETTING REGENERATION TIME
Depress the EXTRA CYCLE button and the
2:00 AM factory preset regeneration time
will appear on the display. This setting
may be changed by using the up and
down set buttons; however, it is best to
have this set at a time when there is low
water usage. Note AM and PM setting.
Depress the EXTRA CYCLE button again
and the display will read A--3. This sets
the maximum number of days before a
regeneration cycle must occur. This should
remain in the A--3 setting.
Press the EXTRA CYCLE button again to
return to the time of day setting and exit
the programming mode.
In the event of a power outage, the time
of day will have to be reset. All other
functions are maintained in memory and
not affected by power interruptions.
D. EXTRA REGENERATION
1) The unit is factory preset to regenerate
at 2:00 AM.
2) To initiate an extra regeneration, two
methods are available:
A. By pressing and releasing the
EXTRA CYCLE button, the service
dot will begin to flash and the
unit will regenerate at the next
scheduled regeneration time (2:00
AM.)
B. By pressing and holding the EXTRA
CYCLE button for five seconds,
the unit will immediately begin
regeneration.

FOR S11TS32DR8 MODELS ONLY:
The removal or organic tannins from residential water supplies cannot be handled successfully by regular water
filters or water filters followed by a water softener. The water generally has a yellow or brownish cast, and this
color does not settle out as occurs with iron discoloration.
Tannins (or humic acids) are the result of decayed forest vegetation which is picked up by surface water and
then often carried to underground sources. Tannins are organic substances, rather than a mineral content, and
are removed by placing a layer of anoin resin on top of the bed of an automatic water softener containing high
capacity water softening resin. Since anoin resin is lighter than softening resin, the two products will be kept
hydraulically separated when properly backwashed and regenerated with salt.
THE UNIT MUST BE REGENERATED AT LEAST EVERY 3 DAYS. THE CONTROL VALVE HAS BEEN PRE-
PROGRAMMED FOR REGENERATION EVERY THIRD DAY.
LIMITATIONS
A. Super Iron Out® or another resin bed cleaner must be used on the combined resin bed when iron is pres-
ent in the water. Salt containing built-in resin cleaners may also be used. Iron concentrations should not
exceed 10 PPM.
B. Pre-chlorination should not be used immediately ahead of the system, but pre-filtration, when at all pos-
sible, is advisable to eliminate any turbidity or other filterable matter.
