@Melanie,

Please post a photo of your softener's control head and a second photo of its ID or data tag or model so that we can be sure we're in the right softner manual.

OR

Found listed at the link we just gave, though it's not an exact match, this manual may describe the setting you need:

Pentair 5600SXT SOFTENER SYSTEM OPERATOR'S MANUAL

https://inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Pentair-5600sxt-Softener-manual.pdf

Excerpts:

Day of the Week Control

This control regenerates the system on a weekly schedule. The schedule is defined in Master Programming by setting each day to either “off” or “on.” The control will initiate a regeneration cycle on days that have been set to “on” at the specified regeneration time.

On Page 10 in this manual you'll see how the day of the week is set - at step 6

You enter programming mode. Press the Up and Down buttons for five seconds while in service, and the time of day is NOT set to 12:01 PM

Then press the Extra Cycle button until you're at the proper setting parameter - given in step 6 for your case:

6. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to set the Current Day of the Week. This option setting is identified by “CD” in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

The full instructions are in the manual and we excerpt the settings page below [Click to enlarge any image]

How to set the days per week of cycles for the Structural ch20001

On 2020-10-17 - by (mod) - Structural ch20001 water softener?

Melanie

If you can find any numbers or data on a data tag such as is often on the side, back, or interior of the control we can usually identify the manufacturer, even if all that we have is a patent no.

I don't assume that a short-cycling well pump is due to the water softener; use the on page search box to see the diagnostics for SHORT CYCLING WELL PUMP

On 2020-10-17 by Melanie

We purchased a house in August that came with a water softener. I can't figure out for the life of me what brand it is. The serial on the back says 21681 but that hasn't yielded any results. It's connected to a Torrium II pump.

Last week I noticed the pump seemed to be cycling for no reason. No water was in use. It would cycle every 10 to 15 minutes or so. I checked the water softener and it was at 800 gallons. The next day it went to 838 gallons and the pump stopped cycling.

Well, the pump has started cycling again (and more often) and the gallons are now down to 497.

I'd like to know if we're doing something wrong, is the water softener just regenerating?

how do i change the time of the region cycle

InspectApedia Publisher (mod) · Feb 11, 2023

@erik,

We need to start with a specific model of your water softener so that we look at the correct instructions. In general, you set the correct time of day on a clock and then you specify the time of day that you want the region cycle to occur, usually during the night when no one's using water.

If you don't have the manual for your specific softener you can find it above on this page or let me know and we'll research further.

I need to find manual for the water softener with this model EW03 251 9106 made in 2003

InspectApedia Publisher (mod) · Feb 3, 2023

@yilma,

It would be helpful if you could post photos (one per comment) of the control head or valve on your water softener and of any identification tags on the unit.

I think that your softener is using one of these two similar control valves or water softener controls actually made by Clack

inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Clack-3-button-WS1-WS1.25-Control.pdf. Clack WS1TC & WS1.25TC Programming Manual


or

inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Clack-3-button-WS1-Control.pdf

Here is the company's description

This glass filled Noryl1 (or equivalent) fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a downflow regeneration water softener or filter.


The time clock control valve can be set to perform downflow regeneration or simply backwash. The time clock control valve has two calendar options for regeneration frequency:

1. an option where the user can choose the number of days (1-99) between each regeneration; and
2. a seven-day option where the user can choose which day(s) of the week a regeneration should occur.

The control valve is compatible with a variety of regenerants and resin cleaners. The control valve is capable of routing the fl ow of water in the necessary paths to regenerate or backwash water treatment systems. The injector regulates the fl ow of brine or other regenerants. The control valve regulates the fl ow rates for backwashing, rinsing, and the replenishing of treated water into a regenerant tank, when applicable.
The control valve uses no traditional fasteners (e.g. screws); instead clips, threaded caps and nuts and snap type latches are used. Caps and nuts only need to be firmly hand tightened because radial seals are used. Tools required to service the valve include one small blade screw driver, one large blade screw driver, pliers and a pair of hands. A plastic wrench is available which eliminates the need for screwdrivers and pliers. Disassembly for servicing takes much less time than com pa ra ble products currently on the market. Control valve in stal la tion is made easy because the distributor tube can be cut ½” above to ½” below the top of tank thread. The distributor tube is held in place by an o-ring seal and the control valve also has a bayonet lock feature for upper distributor baskets.

The AC adapter power pack comes with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter power pack is for dry location use only. If the power goes out, only the time of day needs to be reset. All other values are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory.

Are there venturi media in pentaire 460 tc

Inspectapedia Com Moderator (mod) · Mar 3, 2022

@K,

Sorry but I don't understand your question.

A Venturi is a specially shaped device through which water may be injected in order to pick up or move a larger quantity of water.

Media, in a water softener is generally a layer of resin beads topped by a layer of clean small gravel or stone.

Angus Emery · Feb 7, 2022

Recently purchased a house with the following Water Softener installed and not a manual to be found on one of the blue bottles is a label stating 'Pentair Water - Made in Europe' Manufacturing Number EW03 269 0302-1 and Manufacturing Year as 2003. However, i cannot find a manual anywhere on the internet at the moment that can tell me how it works and how to set it up and configure it. Photo attached of head mechanism.

Inspectapedia Com Moderator (mod) · Feb 8, 2022

@Angus Emery,

Without the model number of your water softener, it is hard to find its exact manual.

However, above on this page, there is a list of several Pentair manuals and looking at the mechanism pictured in each, there are several that look similar if not the same as yours.

It would be worth taking a look at a few of them as they may offer the directions you need to set up your water softener. The steps would be very similar across similar models.

If you are able to determine the model number, do let us know and we can try to find the manual for it.
