2.3.1. Personnel
Only qualified and professional personnel, based on their training, experience and instruction as well
as their knowledge of the regulations, the safety rules and operations performed, are authorized to
carry out necessary work.

2.3.2. Material
The following points must be observed to ensure proper operation of the system and the safety of
user:
• Be careful of high voltages present on the transformer (230V).
• Do not put your fingers in the system (risk of injuries with moving parts and shock due to electric
voltage).

2.4. Hygiene and sanitization

2.4.1. Sanitary issues
Preliminary checks and storage
• Check the integrity of the packaging. Check that there is no damage and no signs of contact with
liquid to make sure that no external contamination occurred.
• The packaging has a protective function and must be removed just before installation. For
transportation and storage appropriate measures should be adopted to prevent the
contamination of materials or objects themselves.

Assembly
• Assemble only with components which are in accordance with drinking water standards.
• After installation and before use, perform one or more manual regenerations in order to clean
the media bed. During such operations, do not use the water for human consumption. Perform a
disinfection of the system in the case of installations for treatment of drinking water for human
use.
A
Note
This operation must be repeated in the case of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. It
should also be repeated whenever the system remains idle for a significant time.
A
Note
Valid only for Italy: In case of equipment used in accordance with the DM25, apply all the
signs and obligations arising from the DM25.

2.4.2. Hygiene measures

Disinfection
• The materials used for the construction of our products meet the standards for use with potable
water; the manufacturing processes are also geared to preserving these criteria. However, the
process of production, distribution, assembly and installation, may create conditions of bacterial
proliferation, which may lead to odor problems and water contamination.
• It is therefore strongly recommended to sanitize the products. See 7.2. Sanitization, page 40.
• Maximum cleanliness is recommended during the assembly and installation.
• For disinfection, use Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite and perform a manual regeneration.

3.1.1. Performance flow rate characteristics

The graph shows the pressure drop created by the valve itself at different flow rates. It makes it
possible to predetermine the maximum flow rate going through the valve depending on the system
settings (inlet pressure etc). It also makes it possible to determine the valve pressure drop at a given
flow rate, and therefore to evaluate the system pressure drop vs flow rate.

3.4. Options available on the valve

3.4.1. Chlorine generator (check salt light)
The Logix 740 and 760 controllers have the capability to produce a low level of chlorine to chlorinate
the resin bed during regeneration. A check salt light will indicate when the user needs to add salt to
the brine tank. Potassium chloride or sodium chloride may be used.
No. Operation
A Unplug the wall-mounted transformer.
B Shut off water supply or put bypass valve(s) into bypass position.
C Relieve system pressure before performing any operations.
D Unlock the cover (2) from the slide clips (1) (one on each side of the valve).
E Remove the controller (3) by pressing on (4).
F Connect the small chlorine generator connector to the back of the controller (5).
Remove the existing refill controller (6) with the ball (7) from the valve and replace it with
G
the one provided in the kit.
Connect the other end of the cable to the refill controller previously installed.
H
Connect firmly to ensure a good contact.
I Reverse above procedure steps to rebuild.
Note
A
No programming is necessary for the chlorine generator to work properly on the controller.
The system will be automatically functional after the chlorine generation senses brine for
the first time. There is a check salt light on the front of the controller that will illuminate
when there is no brine present during the brine draw.

3.4.2. Blending valve kit

Tightening the adjusting screw provided by the kit will force the bypass flapper open. The open flapper
will allow untreated (hard) water to blend with the treated water supply. As the adjusting screw is
turned in, the hardness of the outlet water increases.
Loosening the adjusting screw will allow the bypass flapper to close. The closing action will blend less
untreated water into the outlet flow.
To blend a specific amount of hardness into outflow, adjust the screw and test the water. Repeat the
following procedure as needed until the desired harness level is reached.

No. Operation
A Insert the nut (3) into the blending valve orifice (2).
B Insert the adjusting screw (4) through the top plate and then through the nut.
C Tighten the adjusting screw (4) until it touches the bypass flapper (1).
D Adjust the position of the screw (4) until the desired hardness level of water is reached.

3.5. System regeneration cycle (8-cycles operation)

Service (downflow) — cycle C0
Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness
ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the raw water being exchanged on the resin
beads against sodium ions. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed.

Backwash (upflow) — cycle C1

The flow of water is reversed by the valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin
bed. During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain, while the
media bed is remixed.

Brine (downflow) — cycle C2

The controller directs water through the brine injector and brine is drawn from the brine tank. The
brine is then directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the drain. The
hardness ions are displaced by sodium ions and are sent to the drain. The resin is regenerated during
the brine cycle. When the air check valve closes brine drawing finishes, and then the slow rinse phase
starts.

Slow rinse (downflow) — cycle C3

Repressurize cycle (hard water bypass flapper open) — cycle C4

This cycle allows the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the
regeneration.

Fast rinse (downflow) — cycle C5

The controller value directs water down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube to the
drain. Any residual brine is rinsed from the resin bed, while the media bed is re-compacted.

2nd Backwash (upflow) — cycle C6

2nd Fast rinse (downflow) — cycle C7

Brine refill — cycle C8

Water is directed to the brine tank at a rate controlled by the refill controller, to create brine for the
next regeneration. During brine refill, treated water is already available at the valve outlet.

3.6. Filter cycle (4-cycles operation)

Service — cycle C0
Unfiltered water is directed down through the media and up through the riser tube. The water is
filtered as it passes through the media.

Backwash — cycle C1
The flow of water is reversed by the valve and directed down through the riser tube and up through
the media. During the backwash cycle, the media is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain.

Repressurize cycle (hard water bypass flapper open) — cycle C4

This cycle allows the air and water to hydraulically balance in the valve before continuing the
regeneration.

4.2. Filter configuration (Performa 263)

In filter configuration, the valve body, the camshaft and the controller are identical to the one used for
softening. The only difference is related to the valve configuration.
In filter mode, the injector size installed in the valve does not matter, it is only required to allow intern
pressure balancing during cleaning cycles. Refill flow controller is plugged.
The DLFC used is now related to the tank size and media type.

4.3. Cycle time calculation

All the Logix controller range automatically calculates the unit capacity as well as the cycle time.
No calculations are therefore required.

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. Installation environment

5.2.1. General
• Use only brine salts designed for water softening. Do not use ice melt salt, block, or rock salts.
• Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn on its side, upside down, or drop.
Turning the tank upside down may cause media to enter the valve or might plug the upper
screen.
• Follow State and local codes for water testing. Do not use water that is micro-biologically unsafe
or of unknown quality.
• When filling media tank, first place the control valve in backwash position, then do not open
water valve completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent media from exiting the tank.
• When installing the water connection (bypass or manifold) connect to the plumbing system first.
Allow heated parts to cool and cemented parts to set before installing any plastic parts. Do not
get primer or solvent on O-rings, nuts, or the valve.

Installer Manual Performa 263-268 / LOGIX 740-760 - Installation

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.

A
Mandatory
The use of any other power transformer than the one supplied void the warranty of all
electronic parts of the valve.

• The power outlet must be grounded.

• To disconnect power, unplug the AC transformer from its power source.
• An uninterrupted current supply is required. Please make sure that the voltage supply is
compatible with the unit before installation.
• Make sure the controller power source is plugged in.
• If the electrical cable is damaged, it must imperatively be replaced by qualified personnel.

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.
• Observe the drain line requirements:
Maximum 1 m high at 2 bars inlet pressure. Add 50 cm for each additional 1 bar inlet pressure.
• 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 (5.83 gpm) 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 drain elbow, the drain line connections, and other NPT/BSP threads.

 Installer Manual Performa 263-268 / LOGIX 740-760 - Installation

5.2.4. Outdoor Locations

When the water softening system is installed outdoors, several points must be considered.
• Moisture — The valve and 700 controller are rated for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should
not affect performance. The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity or water
spray from below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment, upwards
spray from sprinkler.
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will fade or discolour over time in direct sunlight. The
integrity of the materials will not degrade to cause system failures. If it is necessary to locate the
softener in direct sunlight, a protective outdoor cover (P/N 1267811) over the valve and controller
is necessary.
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures may cause damage to the valve or controller.
Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This will cause physical damage to the
internal parts as well as the plumbing. High temperatures will affect the controller. The display
may become unreadable but the controller should continue to function. When the temperature
drops back into normal operating limits the display will return to normal. A protective cover (P/
N 1267811)should assist with high temperature applications.
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of
the critical areas. Any holes in the top plate can be covered with a metal foil ductwork tape. The
top cover should be installed securely in place.
• Wind — The Logix cover is designed to withstand a 48 km/h wind when properly installed on the
valve.

5.3. Integration constraints

Location of a water treatment system is important. The following conditions are required:
• Level platform or floor;
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding brine (salt) to tank;
• Constant electrical supply to operate the controller;
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of 3 m to prevent backup of hot water into system;
• Always install check valve to protect the softener from hot water return;
• Local drain for discharge as close as possible;
• Water line connections with shut off or bypass valves;
• Must meet any local and state codes for site of installation;
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do not support weight of system on the
plumbing;
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.

5.5. Valve connection to piping

The connections should be hand tightened using PTFE (plumber’s tape) on the threads if using the
threaded connection type.
In case of heat welding (metal type connection), the connections should not be made to the valve when
soldering.
A
Note
See chapter 3.3. Description and components location, page 12 to identify the connections.

5.5.1. Top-mounted valve installation

When pressurized, any composite tank will expand both vertically and circumferential. In order to
compensate the vertical expansion, the piping connections to the valve must be flexible enough to
avoid overstress on the valve and tank.
In addition, the valve and tank should not be supporting any part of the piping weight. This is hence
compulsory to have the piping fixed to a rigid structure (e.g. frame, skid, wall…) so that the weight of
it is not applying any stress on the valve and tank.

200 mm flexible

Support to the wall

• The diagrams above illustrate how the flexible piping connection should be mounted.
• 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.

Ref. MKT-IM-011 / A - 15.06.2017 25 / 64

Installer Manual Performa 263-268 / LOGIX 740-760 - Installation

• 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.


A
Caution
Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
A
Caution
Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. Over time, stress may break the connections.
When the 1265 bypass valve is used, only hand tighten the plastic nuts.
A
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.

Installer Manual Performa 263-268 / LOGIX 740-760 - Installation

5.8. Drain line connection

A
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 (1/2") 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.

A
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.
A
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.

5.9. Overflow line connection (Performa 268 - Softener configuration only)

In the event of a malfunction, the brine tank overflow fitting will direct “overflow” to the drain instead
of spilling on the floor. This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet or brine tank. Most tank
manufacturers include a post for the tank overflow connector.
To connect the overflow line, locate the hole on side of tank. Insert overflow fitting into tank and
tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown below. Attach a length of 12.7 mm (1/2") I.D.
tubing (not supplied) to fitting and run to drain.
Do not elevate overflow higher than overflow fitting.
Do not tie into drain line of controller unit. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow
fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions.
A
Caution
Floor drain is always recommended to avoid flooding in case of overflow.

5.10. Brine line connection (Performa 268 - Softener configuration only)

The brine line from the tank connects to the valve. Make the connections and hand tighten. Be sure
that the brine line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak may cause the brine line to drain
out, and the conditioner will not draw brine from the tank. This may also introduce air into the valve,
causing problems with the valve operation.

7. Commissioning

A
Note
This chapter is available for standard regeneration types. Contact your supplier if the actual
regeneration is not standard and if you need assistance.

7.1. Water filling, draining and waterproofness inspection

7.1.1. Activating the softener
After you have performed the previous initial programming steps, you will need to activate the
softener.

A
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.

Follow these steps carefully:

1. Remove the cover from the valve. Removing the cover will allow you to see that the camshaft is
turning, and in which cycle the camshaft is currently positioned.
2. With the supply water for the system still turned off, position the bypass valve to the "non-
bypass" (normal operation) position.
3. Press on the controller for 5 seconds. This will initiate a manual regeneration.
The controller will indicate that the motor is turning the camshaft to cycle C1 (Backwash)
position by flashing an hourglass. The controller will display the total regen time remaining. If
you press and hold the button, the controller will indicate the time remaining in the current
cycle.
4. Fill the media tank with water.
→ While the controller is in cycle C1 (Backwash), open the water supply valve very slowly to
approximately the ¼ open position.
A
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.

 Installer Manual Performa 263-268 / LOGIX 740-760 - Commissioning

5. Add water to the brine tank (initial fill) (softener only).

→ With a bucket or hose, add approximately 15 liters (4 gallons) of water to the brine tank.
If the tank has a salt platform in the bottom of the tank, add water until the water level is
approximately 25 mm (1") above the platform.
A
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).
A
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.

7.1.2. Additional tips

• When the controller is first plugged in, it may display a flashing hourglass and the message
"Err 3", this means that the controller is rotating to the home position. If the "Err 2" is displayed,
check that the incoming power frequency matches the controller.
• The preset default time of regeneration is 2:00 AM.
• Power supply? The World controller senses the electrical input and decides which is needed.
• The 700 Series controller can be programmed to regenerate on specific days of the week.
• If electrical power is not available, the camshaft can be rotated counter-clockwise by hand if the
motor is removed.
• The 700 Series controllers send commands to the motor for camshaft movement. However,
water pressure/flow are required during the regeneration cycle for backwash, purge and refill,
and brine draw to actually take place.
• Make sure the control power source is plugged in. The transformer should be connected to a
non-switched power source.
• You can start programming from the beginning by resetting the amount of media, see chapter
6.4.3. Resetting the controller, page 37.

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.

40 / 64 Ref. MKT-IM-011 / A - 15.06.2017

 Installer Manual Performa 263-268 / LOGIX 740-760 - Commissioning

7.2.2. Sodium or calcium hypochlorite

These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and
bentonites.

5.25% Sodium hypochlorite

If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust the dosage
accordingly.

Dosage
Polystyrene resin: set 1.25 mL fluid per 1 L of resin.
Non-resinous exchangers: set 0.85 mL fluid per 1 L.

Brine tank softeners

Backwash the softener and add the required amount of hypochlorite solution to the well of the brine
tank. The brine tank should have water in it to permit the solution to be carried into the softener.
Proceed with the normal regeneration.

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.

Brine tank softeners

Backwash the softener and add the required amount of hypochlorite to the well of the brine tank. The
brine tank should have water in it to permit the chlorine solution from being carried into the softener.
Proceed with the normal regeneration.

7.2.3. Electro chlorination

Valves or systems already equipped with an electrochlorinator device or system are supposed to be
sanitized during the brine draw phase.

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.
