READ Instructions Before Using
• Before beginning installation, read these instructions completely.
Then obtain all the materials and tools needed for installation.
NOTE: Failure to install the system correctly voids the warranty.
• Perform installation according to state, province and local plumbing
codes.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder connections,
as required by state, province and federal codes.
• Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop, drag
or turn components upside down.
• Be sure the floor under the water softening system is clean and
level.
• The system uses 24 volt-60Hz electrical power. Always use the
transformer supplied.
Plug transformer into an indoor 120 VAC, grounded outlet.
Properly ground the system to conform with all codes and ordi-
nances.
• Install the system in a protected area. Be sure electric outlet and
transformer do not come in contact with water. See Where to
Install the Softener, in the installation section of the manual.
Do not attempt to treat water over 110°F (43°C) with the sys-
tem. Always connect the system to the main water supply pipe
before water heater.
Do not expose the system to freezing temperatures. Water
freezing in the system causes equipment damage.
Do not install in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays from the sun may
cause damage.
• Minimum inlet water pressure is 20 psi. Maximum inlet water pres-
sure is 125 psi. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary.
• Sodium used in the water softening process should be considered
as part of your overall dietary salt intake. Contact physician if you
are on a low sodium diet.
• Use clean water softening salts only, at least 99.5% pure. Failure
to use the correct salt may create a health hazard or maintenance
problems.
Use nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts.
Do not use rock, block, granulated or ice cream making salts.
• Always keep the salt lid in place unless servicing the unit or replen-
ishing salt.
