Before you start.
BEFORE YOU START
The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Maximum
allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may
exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve
may reduce the flow). If your home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must
be installed in accordance with local codes and laws.
The water softener uses a direct plug-in external power supply (included). Be sure to use the included
power supply and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is in a dry location only,
grounded and properly protected by an over current device such as a circuit breaker or fuse.
Do not use this system to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection upstream or downstream of the system.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Make sure all the parts shown below are present. Additional parts must be purchased to complete the
installation. Thoroughly check the water softener for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also
inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton.
Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials. To avoid loss of small parts, we suggest you keep the
small parts in the parts bag until you are ready to use them.
