Be sure to check the entire softener for any shipping damage or parts loss. Also note dam-
age to the shipping cartons. Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss
claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit.
Small parts, needed to install the softener, are in a parts bag. To avoid loss of the small
parts, keep them in the parts bag until you are ready to use them.
Unpacking / Inspection
Proper Installation
 Install or store where it will not be ex-
posed to temperatures below freezing or
exposed to any type of weather. Water
freezing in the system will break it. Do not
attempt to treat water over 100°F.
 Do not install in direct sunlight. Excessive
sun or heat may cause distortion or other
damage to non-metallic parts.
 Properly ground to conform with all gov-
erning codes and ordinances.
 Use only lead-free solder and flux for all
sweat-solder connections, as required by
state and federal codes.
 The water softening system requires a
minimum water flow of three gallons per
minute at the inlet.
 Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is
125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80
psi, night time pressure may exceed the
maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve
to reduce the flow if necessary.
 Softener resins may degrade in the pres-
ence of chlorine above 2 ppm. If you
have chlorine in excess of this amount,
you may experience reduced life of the
resin. In these conditions, you may wish
to consider purchasing a whole house car-
bon filter (or ECS-34) softener system with
a chlorine reducing media.
 WARNING: Discard all unused parts and
packaging material after installation. Small
parts remaining after the installation could
be a choke hazard.
This water softening system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
