NOTE:
Hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S) must be tested for at the well
site. For accuracy, the sample must be drawn with the pump
RUNNING, and the test be completed within ONE minute
after the sample is drawn.
NOTE:
Softeners are designed to reduce hardness but can
handle reasonable amounts of soluble iron if consideration is
given to content when selecting model and regeneration
settings. To treat sulfur (hydrogen sulfide), bacterial iron,
precipitated iron or very high levels of soluble iron requires
special equipment in addition to a water softener. For best
results, a Chem-Free Iron Reduction System is recom-
mended for use on waters containing more than 2 ppm of
iron.

Congratulations! We believe your purchase of this water
softener will prove to be a very wise choice. When properly
installed, your new softener will provide many years of
virtually trouble-free service. Before starting the instal-
lation we suggest you read this manual all the way through
for an overview, and then follow the installation steps in
the proper sequence.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION could
void the warranty.
INSPECTING AND HANDLING YOUR WATER SOFTENER:
Inspect the equipment for shipping damage. If damaged,
notify the transportation company and request a damage
inspection.
Handle the equipment with care. Damage can result if
dropped or if the brine tank is set on sharp, uneven projec-
tions on the floor. When handling, do not turn the water
softener unit upside down.
MAKE SURE YOUR WATER HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY
TESTED:
An analysis of your water should be made prior to the
selection of your water conditioning equipment. Your dealer
will generally perform this service for you, and may send a
sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations.
Enter your analysis for a permanent record (see Fig. 1).
