
Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included
with the softener. To maintain full valve
flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to and from the sof-
tener fittings are recommended. You
should maintain the same, or larger, pipe
size as the water supply pipe, up to the
softener inlet and outlet.

Use copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fittings.

Some codes may also allow PVC plastic
pipe.

ALWAYS install the included bypass valve,
or 3 shut-off valves. Bypass valves let you
turn off water to the softener for repairs if
needed, but still have water in the house
pipes.

5/8” OD drain line is needed for the valve
drain. A 10’ length of hose is included.


A length of 5/8” OD drain line tubing is
needed for the brine tank over flow fitting
(optional).

Nugget or pellet water softener salt is
needed to fill the cabinet or brine tank.

Continuous operation at flow rates greater than the service flow rate may affect capacity and efficiency performance.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make product improvements which may deviate from the specifications and
descriptions stated herein, without obligation to change previously manufactured products or to note the change.

The above capacity and flow rate specifications have not been validated by WQA.
