SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
Check and comply with wmr state and local
codes. You must fi)llow ti_ese guidelines.
Use care when handling the water softening
s_:stem. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag
or set on sharp protrusions.
Water softening systems using sodimn chloride
(salt) for recharge add sodimn to the water.
Persons on sodium restricted diets should consider
the added sodium aspart of their overall intake.
Potassium chloride can be used as an alternative
to sodium chloride in your softener
The _sater softening system _sorks on 24 _olt-60 Hz
electrical power only. Be sure to use only the
included transformer
Use clean water softening salts only, at least
99.5% pm'e. NUGGET, PEI,I,ET or coarse
SOLAR salts are recolnmended. Do not rise rock,
block, granulated or ice cream making salts.
They contain dirt and sediments, or mush and
cake, and will create maintenance problems.
Kee I) the salt hole cover in place on the softener
tmless servicing the trait or refilling with salt.
-_WARNING:oo.o, use with water that is
microbiologically tmsafi _ or of tmknown quality
without adequate disinfection befm'e or after
the system.
Transformer must be )lm,{,ed into indoor
120 xolt, grounded outlet only.
PROPERINSTALLAtiON
This water softening system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below fl'eezing or exposed to any
type of weather: Water fl'eezing in the s_:stem will
break it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°E
Do n0tinstall in direct stmlight. Excessive stm or
heat may catlse distortion or other damage to
non-metallic parts.
Properly ground to confimn with all governing
codes and ordinances.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-
solder connections, as reqtfired bv state and
federal codes.
Softener resins may degrade in the presence of
chlorine above 1 ppm. If you have chlorine in
excess of this amotmt, you may experience
reduced lile of the resin. In these conditions,
you may wish to consider i)m'chasing a (;E
point-of-entry household filtration system with
a chlorine reducing filte_:
WARNING:Disc.,d.llunusedparts
and packaging material after installation.
Small parts remaining after the installation
could be a choke hazard.
The water softening system reqtfires a minimmn
water flow of three gallons per minute at the inlet.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressm'e is 125 psi.
If daytime pressm'e is over 80 psi, nighttime
pressm'e may exceed the maximum. Use a pressm'e
reducing \:dve to reduce the flow if necessarx:
