INTRODUCTION

The 

DirectFlo

 and the 

DirectFLO DuoSoft Water Softeners

 are designed to produce 

high quality softened water. The innovative design eliminates cumbersome hoses that 
must be connected to a faucet. As water passes through the DirectFLO chamber, the 
resin column causes scale-forming calcium and magnesium ions to be exchanged for 
non-scale-forming sodium ions. When the resin is exhausted it must be replaced or 
regenerated. Inexpensive resin refi ll packages are available, or the original resin can be 
regenerated by chemical treatment.

In the DirectFLO DuoSoft, water passes through both chambers and will be treated by 
both types of media. The two chambers of the DirectFLO DuoSoft may be easily fi lled 
with the media of choice for specifi c problem water.

NOTE: These softeners DO NOT yield water suitable for drinking .

READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
