valve to malfunction.

• Easy adjustable salt settings.

• Full flow bypass valve is standard.

• FM-Series meter accurately measures soft water outlet flow as

low as 0.15 gpm and as high as 15.0 gpm.

allows sediment in water to pass through without damaging the

unit.

How Does A Water Softener Work?

1. Hard water enters your water softener (1) and passes down

through the ion exchange resin, which are charged with sodium

ions. The hard water ions (calcium and magnesium) are attract-

ed to the ion exchange resin and an equal amount of sodium

ions are bumped off into the water supply. When the water

reaches the bottom of the tank, it is softened and ready to be

used in your home and business.

2. When the ion exchange resin is saturated with calcium and

magnesium (hard water ions) it must be recharged. (2) A strong

brine solution enters the tank and flushes the calcium and mag-

nesium ions off the ion exchange resin and attaches itself.

3. A final rinse process ensures that any unused brine is rinsed

from the system and your (1) water softener is now fully re-

charged and ready to provide you with soft water.
