•
Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
•
Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn upside down
or drop. Turning the tank upside down will cause media to enter the
valve.
•
Operating ambient temperature is between 34
°F (1°C) and 120°F
(49
°C).
•
Operating water temperature is between 34
°F (1°F) and 100°F (38°C).
•
Working water pressure range is 20 to 120 psi (1.38 to 8.27 bar). In
Canada the acceptable working water pressure range is 20 to 100 psi
(1.38 to 6.89 bar).
•
Use only regenerant salts designed for water softening. Do not use ice
melting, block, or rock salts.
•
Follow state and local codes for water testing. Do not use water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
•
When filling media tank, 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.
