Refer to the following table as a key for the letters and corresponding media types.
Letter Media Type Letter Media Type
A Empty M Ultra-fil
B Chlorostat N Manganese Greensand
C A554 Nitrate Resin P SulfurStat and 6 lb. Ultra-fil
D Tannin Resin Q Fine Mesh Resin and 2 lb. Bacteriostat
E PC Carbon (Activated Carbon) R Filter Ag
F Multi-Grade S Calcite/Corosex
J Calcite and 6 lb. Ultra-fil X Fine Mesh Resin
K BIRM and 6 lb. Ultra-fil
The letters BWO added to the end of a filter model number stand for Backwash Only.
Note: The iron filter (1AAN) does not have a BWO designation because it uses the regenerant potassium
permanganate.
Efficiency Statements
3MAQ, 3BAQ, 3BEQ, 3MXQ, 2AMQ, 2APQ are efficiency rated according to NSF/ANSI 44. The stated
efficiencies are valid only at the specified salt dosage and 8 gpm (30.3 L/min):
Model Rated Efficiency Salt Dosage Capacity at That Dosage
3MAQ 5,200 grains/lb (738 grams/kg) 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) 5,700 grains (369 grams)
3BAQ 5,400 grains/lb (772 grams/kg) 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) 6,000 grains (389 grams)
3BEQ 5,400 grains/lb (772 grams/kg) 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) 6,000 grains (389 grams)
3MXQ 5,400 grains/lb (772 grams/kg) 1.7 lb (0.8 kg) 9,300 grains (603 grams)
2AMQ 5,200 grains/lb (738 grams/kg) 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) 5,700 grains (369 grams)
2APQ 3,900 grains/lb (569 grams/kg) 6.2 lb (2.8 kg) 24,600 grains (1,594 grams)
An Efficiency-rated water softener is a Demand-initiated regeneration softener that also complies with specific
performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its
operation.
Efficiency-rated water softeners shall have a rated salt efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness
exchange per pound of salt (based on NaCI equivalency) (477 grams of total hardness exchange per kilogram
of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating.
Efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum
possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved 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 contaminates that reduce the softeners’ capacity.
