NOTE:

 The female end of the connector hoses is

designed to thread onto 3/4" pipe thread. Perform
appropriate plumbing to provide connections from
the water supply to the inlet hose/port and from the
outlet port/hose.

NOTE:

 The inlet port is identified with an arrow

pointing towards the softener controls. The softener
inlet port will receive the hose which is connected
from the outlet of the carbon block filter.

NOTE:

 The outlet port is identified with an arrow

pointing away from the softener controls. The outlet
port will receive the 60" hose that will connect to the
outlet plumbing. The supply connections should be
made before the pressure reducing valve.

12. Insert tubing provided into the drain port on the

back of the cabinet and run it to an appropriate
drain. Be sure to provide a “air gap” between
the end of the tubing and the top of the drain.

NOTE:

 Drain line length should not exceed 8 feet

vertical and 30 feet horizontal from the softener.

13. Insert tubing provided into the overflow port on

the back of the softener and run drain lower
than the cabinet connection to provide a gravity
drain in the event of a internal cabinet leak.

14. Review the meter disc selection chart and the

water analysis provided. If no water analysis is
provided test the water supply.

15. To test the water supply, use the water analysis

test kit available through Pro Products Inc. The
recommended kit is #2404 Deluxe Field
Analysis Kit. To order the test kit contact Pro
Products at 800-285-9176 or visit
www.ProProducts.com.

16. Choose the meter disc and salt setting that best

fits the installation parameters.

NOTE: 

See DISC SELECTION at the end of

instructions.

17. To change disc, remove screws and cap cover

from level one.

18. Remove balance piston.
