5. Installation
5.1. Safety notices for installation
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual;
• only qualified and professional personnel are authorized to carry out installation work.
5.2.2. Electrical
There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC transformer, motor, or controller. In the event of a
failure, these should be replaced.
• All electrical connections must be completed according to local codes;
• use only the power AC transformer that is supplied;
Mandatory
The use of any other power transformer than the one supplied void the warranty of all
electronic parts of the valve.
5.2.3. Mechanical
• Do not use petroleum-based lubricants such as vaseline, oils, or hydrocarbon-based lubricants.
Use only 100% silicone lubricants;
• all plastic connections should be hand tightened. PTFE (plumber’s tape) may be used on
connections that do not use an O-ring seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches;
• all plumbing must be completed according to local codes;
• soldering near the drain line should be done before connecting the drain line to the valve.
Excessive heat will cause interior damage to the valve;
• If the backwash flow rate exceeds 22.7 lpm or if the unit is located 6.1-12.2 m from the drain, use
19 mm (3/4") tubing. Use appropriate fittings to connect the 19 mm (3/4") tubing to the 19 mm
(3/4") NPT drain connection on the valve;
• do not use lead-based solder for sweat solder connections;
• the drain line must be a minimum of 12.7 mm (½") in diameter. Use 19 mm (¾") pipe if the
backwash flow rate is greater than 26.5 lpm or the pipe length is greater than 6 m;
• do not support the weight of the system on the control valve fittings, plumbing, or the bypass;
• it is not recommended to use sealants on the threads. Use PTFE (plumber’s tape) on the threads
of the 25.4 mm (1") NPT elbow, the drain line connections, and other NPT/BSP threads.

• in order to adequately compensate the tank elongation the flexible tubes must be installed
horizontally;
• should the flexible piping connection be installed in vertical position, instead of compensating
the elongation, it will create additional stresses on the valve & tank assembly. Therefore this is
to be avoided;
• the flexible piping connection must be also be installed stretched, avoiding excessive length. For
instance 20 - 40 cm is enough;
• excessively long and non-stretched flexible piping connection will create stresses on the valve
and tank assembly when the system is pressurized, as illustrated in the below picture: on the left
the assembly when the system is unpressurised, on the right the flexible piping connection when
put under pressure tends to lift up the valve when stretching up. This configuration is even more
dramatic when using semi-flexible piping;
• failure to provide enough vertical compensation may lead to different kinds of damage, either on
the valve thread which connects to the tank, or on the female thread connection of the tank that
connects to the valve. In some cases, damage may also be seen on the valve inlet and outlet
connections;
• in any case, any failure caused by improper installation and/or piping connections may void the
warranty of Pentair products;
• in the same way, using lubricant* on the valve thread is not allowed and will void the warranty for
the valve and tank. Indeed using lubricant there will cause the valve to be over-torqued, which
may lead to valve thread or tank thread damage even if the connection to piping has been done
following the above procedure.
*Note: Use of petroleum-based grease and mineral based lubricant is totally forbidden, not only on the valve thread, since
plastics (especially Noryl) will highly suffer from contact with this type of grease, leading into structural damage hence to
potential failures.
5.7. Bypassing
A bypass valve system should be installed on all water conditioning systems. Bypass valves isolate the
softener from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be used. Service or routine
maintenance procedures may also require that the system is bypassed.
In Out In Out
Caution
Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
Caution
Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. Over time, stress may break the connections.
When the 256 bypass valve is used, only hand tighten the plastic nuts.
Caution
Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100%
silicone grease products when installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone grease may cause
plastic components to fail over time.
Note
Standard commercial practices are expressed here. Local codes may require changes to
the following suggestions. Check with local authorities before installing a system.
The unit should not be more than 6.1 m from the drain. Use an appropriate adapter fitting to connect
12.7 mm plastic tubing to the drain line connection of the control valve.
If the backwash flow rate exceeds 22.7 lpm or if the unit is located 6.1-12.2 m from the drain, use
19 mm (3/4") tubing. Use appropriate fittings to connect the 19 mm (3/4") tubing to the 19 mm (3/4")
NPT drain connection on the valve.
The drain line may be elevated up to 1.8 m providing the run does not exceed 4.6 m and water pressure
at the softener is not less than 2.76 bar. Elevation can increase by 61 cm for each additional 0.69 bar
of water pressure at the drain connector.
Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the valve, form a 18 cm loop
at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line connection. This will
provide an adequate siphon trap.
Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used.
Secure the end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.
Note
Waste connections or the drain outlet shall be designed and constructed to provide
connection to the sanitary waste system through an air-gap of 2 pipe diameters or 25.4 mm
(1"), whichever is larger.
Caution
Never insert the drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or trap. Always allow an air gap
between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-
siphoned into the softener.

Caution
Resetting the controller will delete all information stored in its memory, except the time and
day. This will require you to reprogram the controller completely from the initial power-up
mode.
7. Commissioning
Note
This chapter is available for standard regeneration types. Contact your supplier if the actual
regeneration is not standard and if you need assistance.
Caution
Do not rotate the camshaft by hand or damage to the unit may occur. Use the controller to
take the camshaft electronically through the cycles.
Caution
If opened too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out of the tank into the valve or the
plumbing. In the ¼ open position, you should hear air slowly escaping from the valve drain
line.
→ When all of the air has been purged from the media tank (water begins to flow steadily from
the drain line), open the main supply valve all of the way. This will purge the final air from the
tank.
→ Allow water to drain out until the water runs clear from the drain line. This purges any refuse
from the media bed.
→ Turn off the water supply and let the system stand for about 5 minutes. This will allow any
trapped air to escape from the tank.
Note
We recommend that you do not put salt into the tank before the control valve has been
started up. With no salt in the tank, it is much easier to view water flow and motion.
6. Engage the refill cycle to prime the line between the brine tank and the valve (softener only).
→ Slowly open the main water supply valve again, to the fully open position. Be sure not to open
too rapidly as that would push the media out of the media tank.
→ Advance the controller to the Refill (C8) position. From cycle C1 (Backwash), press and hold
. This will display the current cycle.
While pressing , press to advance to the next cycle. Continue to advance through
each cycle until you have reached cycle C8 (Refill).
Note
As you advance through each cycle there will be a slight delay before you can advance to the
next cycle. The hourglass icon will be lit while the camshaft is indexing. There may be a
pause at cycle C4 (System Pause). This cycle allows the water/air pressure to equalize on
each side of the valve discs before moving on. The hourglass will not be visible indicating
that the system is paused.
→ With the water supply completely open, when the valve reaches C8 (Refill), the controller will
direct water down through the line to the brine tank. Let the water flow through the line until
all air bubbles have been purged from the line.
→ Do not let the water flow down the line to the tank for more than 1 to 2 minutes, or the tank
may overfill.
→ Once the air is purged from the line, press and simultaneously to advance to cycle C0
(Treated Water) position.
7. Draw water from the brine tank.
→ From the treated water position (cycle C0), advance the valve to the draw brine position. Press
for 5 seconds.
The controller will begin a manual regen, and advance the control valve to the cycle C1
(Backwash). Press and to advance to cycle C2 (Draw).
→ With the controller in this position, check to see that the water in the brine tank is being drawn
out of the tank. The water level in the tank should recede very slowly.
→ Observe the water being drawn from the brine tank for at least 3 minutes. If the water level
does not recede, or goes up, check all hose connections. C2 should be displayed.
8. If the water level is receding from the brine tank you can then advance the controller back to the
treated water (C0) position by pressing and simultaneously to advance the controller to
the C0 position.
9. Finally, turn on a faucet plumbed after the water softener. Run the faucet until the water runs
clear. Add salt to the brine tank.
7.2. Sanitization
7.2.1. Disinfection of water softeners
The construction materials of the modern water softener will not support bacterial growth, nor will
these materials contaminate a water supply. During normal use, a softener may become fouled with
organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may result in an off-taste
or odour in the water.
Some softeners may need to be disinfected after installation and some softeners will require periodic
disinfection during their normal lifetime.
Depending on the conditions of use, the softener type, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant
available, a choice can be made among the following methods.
Dosage
Polystyrene resin: set 1.25 mL fluid per 1 L of resin.
Non-resinous exchangers: set 0.85 mL fluid per 1 L.
Calcium hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in several forms including tablets and
granules. These solid materials may be used directly without dissolving before use.
Dosage
Measure two grains ~ 0.11 mL 1 L.
8. Operation
During a regeneration:
• A "C#" is displayed to show the current cycle;
• total regen time remaining is displayed on screen;
• you can press and hold to show current cycle time remaining.
8.1. Recommendations
• Use only regeneration salts designed for water softening EN973;
• for optimal system operation, the use of clean salt and impurities free is recommended (for
example salt pellets);
• do not use ice melt salt, block, or rock salts;
• the sanitizing process (both with liquid and electrochlorination) may introduce chlorine
compounds which may reduce the lifetime of the ion exchange resins. Refer to media
manufacturer specifications sheet for more information.
Mandatory
The controller must be in service in order to enable this procedure.
Note
The unit returns to normal operation if no buttons are pressed within 30 seconds.
Note
To cancel: press again. The regen symbol disappears.
Immediate regeneration
A Press and hold for 5 seconds to initiate immediate manual regeneration.
→ A solid regeneration icon will be displayed.
→ Camshaft starts rotating to cycle C1.
Double regeneration
A After an immediate regeneration has begun, press again to plan a second manual
regeneration.
→ A flashing "x2" symbol indicates the second regeneration will start at the programmed
delayed regeneration time.
9. Maintenance
Mandatory
Cleaning and maintenance shall take place at regular intervals in order to guarantee the
proper functioning of the complete system, and be documented in the Maintenance chapter
in the User Guide document.
Mandatory
The maintenance and service operation must be done by qualified personnel only. Failure in
respecting this may void the warranty.
Mandatory
Has to be done once a year at minimum.
* Electronic parts – durability strongly affected by power source quality and stability.
** Elastomer durability is strongly affected by raw water concentration in chlorine and its derivatives.
*** 255 being already equipped with an aircheck, the safety brine valve should not be equipped with an aircheck too otherwise
this may create hydraulic interferences and cause brine draw malfunction due to safety brine valve aircheck not opening.
**** Wear part.
9.3. Recommendations
9.3.1. Use original spare parts
Caution
To ensure correct operation and safety of the device, only use original spare parts and
accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
Parts to keep in stock for potential replacements are motor and optical sensor, controller,
transformer, injectors, flapper kit, O-ring kit, refill and DLFC.
No. Operation
Tip
Depending on the maintenance required, it may be useful to disassemble the valve from the
tank in order to have easier access.
A Unlock the cover (1) from the slide clips (2) (one on each side of the valve).
B Lift the cover (1).
Using a Phillips screwdriver unscrew the screw (7) from the locking bar (6), so that the
C
locking bar (6) can be slid out of its position.
You can now lift the top of the valve body (3) from the tank adapter (5), so as to perform all
D required maintenance operations with the upper valve body (3) part on a workbench.
Take care with the seals (4) on the valve body bosses.
