Bruner Water Co. Water Softeners & Manuals

Question: Bruner clock motor repair

I have a Bruner water softener that was installed in 1992. The clock motor seems to have failed but I cannot figure out how to remove the clock motor.

Hopefully a manual would help me to figure out how to remove the clock motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a photo of the valve head. Anonymous by private email, 2019/11/29

Moderator reply:

I'll be glad to help look for a manual for your water heater. If you can attach a photo of the heater and a part of the data tag that would be most helpful.

Meanwhile I have provided contact info for Bruner Water Co., (above).

Bruner control valves are also sold by water softener parts distributors who may have a parts explosion that can show you just how the clock motor is mounted.

    Question: Ecowater Softener and Filter system large backwash quantities

    I have an Ecowater Softener and Filter system. Both units use an incredible amount of water to backwash. I am on a very undependable well and every gallon counts. Can you collect and use backwash water rather than wasting it? Is the backwash water contaminated or salinated to the point where it could damage crops or flowers? - Ed 10/10/2012

    Reply:

    I suspect it's a bad idea and that the salt level will be a bit high for watering plants, but I will research the question and update this Q&A. Meanwhile check your water hardness against the water conditioner regen settings to be sure you ar not wasting water unnecessarily.

    I've searched our files, and have to say sorry, no. I'm still looking. Often a generic control heat is used and can be identified by photos on this page or by noting label details and stickers on or inside the control head cover of your water softener.

    Perhaps you can post some photos to help our research. Also tell me the country and city where the water softener is installed and the age of its building.

    Nationspure Water Softener Manuals

    Nationspure Water Systems distributes their Panamax water treatment equipment described by the company as having a wide range of water treatment capabilities including scale deposits (hard water), iron in water, dirt, and combinations of water problems.

    The company's website, as of 7/13/2018, does not offer water softener nor other water treatment equipment installation, operation, service, or repair manual downloads for their products.

    OPINION: as it is not likely that an individual or state-level water treatment equipment vendor is designing and manufacturing unique water treatment equipment, if you can't obtain a manual from the company (call them first), then you might find help and suitable water softener manuals from a manufacturer of similar equipment or from the generic water treatment and water softeners whose manuals are given

    Question: Oh So Soft Water Softener identification

    (Oct 12, 2016) Cassidy said:
    Can you please help me identify the brand of water softener I have? I've tried searching by everything I can find on the unit and it's not coming back to anything.

    I can't get any pictures to attach but there's a sticker that says serial number-143775-001.000-0036C00 and there is a model number OAS32T. The cover also says OH SO SOFT. If you could provide any guidance I would appreciate it

    On 2020-03-19 - by (mod) - Oh So Soft water softener timer settings

    I'm guessing that the 19 14 etc. is a salt dose dial in pounds of salt per regeneration cycle and that the digital display can be put into a mode to select the regeneration time.

    If you can post a photo of the control head and (one photo per comment) photos of any tags or labels or patent numbers appearing on the softener I can see if I can find the manual for your specific Oh-So-Soft water softener.

    To use less salt - or better - to use no more salt than is necessary for your home's water softener system,

    1. Test the hardness of your water

    2. Armed with the actual hardness measure of your water - (a number on the hardness scale we explain in the article cited above)

    adjust the salt dose on your water softener for that hardness number, based on instructions that will be in the water softener manual (what is the model of your Myers water softener - do you have the manual?)

    3. Review in the manual the proper setting for your guess at how much water you use in your home per week, and that will also let you adjust the water softener regeneration cycle frequency

    4. If the softener still seems to be using too much salt (water tastes salty and leaves a white deposit on fixtures), the softener needs repair or further adjustment.

    If you don't have the manual for your Myers water softener, (is yours a Myers M120 water softener?), you'll probably find a free PDF download in our collection of PENTAIR WATER SOFTENER MANUALS

    How do I get my Myers water softener to not use so much salt?

    On 2022-11-15 by InspectApedia (Editor)

    Your photograph shows a water conditioner or softener that's intended to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from hard water. If your well water is red, there are several possible causes including iron which is most common, and bacteria.

    A water softener can remove a small amount of iron from water but not treat water that's high in iron content and a water softener would not remove a bacteria problem from water.

    I can't tell you how to get the water softener working because I don't know what's wrong with it or even whether or not it is working. But other softener companies would be thrilled to come to your house, examine the system, and tell you about it's working condition because of course they hope to sell you new equipment.

    I recommend that you have your water tested to find out what's in it so that you know what treatment is actually needed.

    Trying to get an ops manual for my water sofner mode Legacy View Model G9LFMN-3, is this possable ?

    @Inspectapedia Com Moderator, Thank you. As it turns out I have a flapper that is apparently leaking water. I will replace tomorrow and see if the issue corrects itself.

    On 2022-01-03 by Inspectapedia Com Moderator - a leak somewhere else can cause condensation at water purifier

    @Christie W Monahan,

    The condensation itself is of course not likely to be a leak

    but more likely you are seeing g moisture from the surrounding air condensing on cool surfaces of the equipment or it's piping.

    However if you have a leak somewhere in your building such as a running toilet then water is being used continuously and that may in turn cause the surfaces of the water pipes and water treatment equipment to be colder than usual,

    and that may explain the condensation.

    So the first thing to do is to check for leaks or a running toilet. Keep us posted.

    Our water purifier that came with the house suddenly has condensation on the pipes and system. I have been trying to find an owner's manual to see if there is maintenance that needs to be done or if it leaking somewhere. The tank is a Enpress LLC 1054 and the computer part is Advance Flow from MayTech. Any idea where I can get more information?

    If you find a sticker with patent numbers you can use Google Scholar to research the patent and see what company is named.

    Can’t find a manual to this! There’s no brand on it anywhere

    Above at the article suggested at the more reading link you will see water softener adjustments that will include the salt dose setting. The specific setting method will depend of course on the brand and model of your water softener. So if you don't have the manual you'll want to download that here

    Setting up my water softener, there is a setting for salt level. What should I set that for?

    On 2020-09-26 - by (mod) - which way to push the pins on a water softener control head time

    Thanks for the comment Neil.

    A quick way to do the test you describe - pushing all the pins in or pulling them all out, is to follow that step by rotating the timer or dial - if the next "click" of the dial starts a regen cycle and the pins are pushed "IN" then you know that an "IN" pin starts a cycle.

    Usually pins that are pushed "down" or "in" are the active ones that start a regen cycle but as we've warned, water softener, clock timer and other products vary in how these pins are used.

    On 2020-09-26 by Neil Iddison

    @Anonymous, Hi, if you have not worked out which way to pull or push the pins. The answer is simple. Either pull them all out or push them all in. If the softeners regenerates every day, or does not, you now know the answer.

    On 2020-09-11 - by (mod) -

    Great question, Anon, and with apology, there's not one "always right" answer. Typically the pin is pushed in but some softener controls may work the opposite way.

    On a Culligan, pushing the pin IN activates that interval or recharge day and pulling the pin OUT skips that day.

    I have a 25 year old softener and need to reset the day wheel pin. Does it get pushed in or pulled out

    On 2020-07-22 by Natasha

    Hi, can anyone help me with finding out the correct manual and or the type of model this is. I've been in my home a few months and I'm unsure of how to use it. The former owner didn't leave behind a manual. I'm not sure what to do, what to press, or how to work it. Thanks
