Specifications & Performance Claims

This system conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the specific performance claims as

verified and substantiated by test data.

Variable Salt Dose:

The salt dose is selected by the electronic controls at regeneration

time based on the amount needed.

This model is efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum salt dose. This softener has a

demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R) feature that complies with specific performance specifications intended to mini-

mize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation.

This softener has a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt

(based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating or be operated at a sustained maxi-

mum service flow rate greater than its listed rating. This softener has been proven to deliver soft water for at least ten

continuous minutes at the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described

in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve.

Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the rated

efficiency, due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that

reduce a softener's capacity.
