This water softening system must be properly installed and
located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive Installation
Instructions, you can receive one by calling us toll-free
at the GE Answer Center
® 800.626.2000.
PROPER INSTALLATION
■ Install or store where it will not
be exposed 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 heat may cause
distortion or other damage to
non-metallic parts.
■ Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes and
ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
■
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 if
necessary. (Adding a pressure
reducing valve may reduce
the flow.)
WARNING:
Discard all
unused and packaging
material after installation.
