This softener has been tested and certified by the Water Quality Association according to NSF/ANSI 44 for the specified performance
claims as verified and substantiated by test data. These models are efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the stated salt
dose and flow rate. They have demand initiated regenerated (DIR) feature that complies with specific performance specifications intended
to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. These softeners have a rated efficiency of not less than 3350
grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than their listed ratings. The
rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible
efficiency that the systems can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less
than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage and other contaminants that reduce the
softener’s capacity. These systems are not intended for use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. For best results, use any type of salt made for a water softener, with the exception of block
salt. Refer to other sections in the manual for warranty details on installation, parts and service, maintenance and further restrictions or
limitations to the use of the product.
