Instructions / Assembly

A. Prior to installation of this water softener, ensure you are aware of local laws and codes regarding the

installation, use, and maintenance of water softeners.

distributor. (Another master O-ring is supplied.)

C. Unpack the Tier1 WS-165-132 and ensure all listed parts are included.
