Aquafine 2, tt 22 u

A picture or two of your system would help us help you

The thing with the dials, the power cord, the brine line, the drain line and the inlet/outlet water lines attached to it, that's the control valve and its by pass valve. The control valve is attached to the resin tank. The smaller tank with the lid, that's the salt/brine tank. You can clean that out before putting 3-5 gallons of water and a 40 or 50 lb bag or two of softener salt and in it.

Take any cover off the control valve, study the face of the control valve, commit it to long term memory. Get online and search for softeners, look at the control valves until you find what looks like yours. Find the name of it, Autotrol, Clack, Erie, Fleck etc. and then search for and find a manual for it.

Getting a manual will help slightly. The manual is the 'consumer' manual, not the dealer master manual so you won't be told many things that you need to know to be able to set it up for your family size and water quality without having to call a dealer for service. Or you can search for a softener sizing chart that mentions SFR.

Hey Gary, THANK YOU!!!!!!!...figured I would clean the grunge out while I waited for someone with a LOT more knowledge than me to answer...put the salt in...took the cover off the dial housing thingie, read the fine print (and set it to regenerate now) let it run and holy crap...what a difference. Did the taste test with the kids...everyone of them said that it was WAY better. My first thought was it tasted like the water from the lake at our cottage (yes, still very clean) and my oldest daughter said "hey, it tastes like camp (cottage) water"...so it's an all around thumbs up.

So now I only have to lug a few bags of salt rather than case upon case of bottled water....PERFECT!

Thanks again,

me

hello me...we bought a house with a aquafine water softener with no paper work as well and want to turn it OFF. We hate the flavor and it kills out plants...how do we turn it off!

A picture of the set-up would help.

I would like your help, do i upload pics here or can i send them to you / or somewhere? thx!

Check my profile and send them to me.

did you ever get a manual cause i have same softener and i have no manual either?????

I have a older (1990 or so) aquafine II 34 R water softener unit, I think I have the usuage dials set right - but I tried resetting the time and moved the big black dial by mistake - can anyone tell me where it is supposed to be set back at
- If I spin it it goes to regen, recyle etc. with a few blank areas as well
thanks

Push the red knob in and you will be able to set the first dial(the one farthest in) there is a window at the bottom for time of day. Set it for the correct time. The black dial on top of that should be set to regenerate to restart the cycle - also the dials beside that....upon original installation they should have put a white dot where the clear dial should point to ....if not ...mine is set to roughly 11 oclock. Hopefully this will help you out!
