SPECIFICATION

Working Temperature:

 This unit must be 

operated at temperatures between 40°F and 

110°F (4°C - 43°C). 

Working Pressure:

 This water softener 

must be operated on pressures 

between 30 psi to 125 psi. If the water 

pressure is higher than 125 PSI, use a 

pressure reducing valve in the water supply 

line to the softener. 

Voltage = 120V / 60 Hz

Pipe Size = 3/4” and 1”

•  At the stated service flow rates, the 

pressure drop through these devices will 

not exceed 15 psig.

•  The manufacturer reserves the right 

to make product improvements which 

may deviate from the specifications 

and descriptions stated herein, without 

obligation to change previously 

manufactured products or to note the 

change.

*Choose

 HIGH EFFICIENCY

 to minimize salt usage. Your system will 

regenerate a little more often but your salt usage can be reduced by 

20% compared to the

 STANDARD

 setting. Choose 

STANDARD

 when 

you need to maximize your capacity but still operate the system with 

good efficiency. Choose **

IRON & MN

 if you have problem water 

containing Iron, Manganese or hardness in excess of 50 gpg. The high 

salt setting will be needed since these minerals are more difficult to 

clean out of the resin bed. Note: A resin cleaner will also need to be 

periodically added to the brine tank to insure proper operation.

See page 25: Res-Up® Feeder Installation Instructions 

Peak flow rates intended for intermittent use only (10 

minutes or less) and are for residential applications only. 

Do not use peak flow rate for commercial applications 

or for a continuous rate when treated water supplies are 

geothermal heat pump, swimming pool, etc.
For satisfactory operation, the pumping rate of the well 

system must equal or exceed indicated backwash flow rate.
All units come with plastic bypass

**Maximum Iron

 = 2.0 ppm ferrous (clear water iron)

Maximum Hydrogen Sulfide

 = 0.0 ppm

Maximum Manganese

 = .75 ppm

pH

 = 6.5 to 8.5 with no iron present with iron present 

6.5 - 7.5 

See page_? -  PROBLEM WATER KIT

CAUTION!

Do not use where the water is microbiologically 

unsafe or with water of unknown quality without 

adequate disinfection before or after the unit.

*NOTE

Clean water application for 

municipal or city supplies only.

**NOTE

SET HARDNESS 

This value is the maximum  

compensated water hardness in 

grains per gallon of the raw water 

supply.  It is used to calculate the 

system capacity.  If Ferrous Iron is 

present add 4 gpg for every 1 ppm 

of Ferrous Iron, 8 gpg for  

Ferrous  Manganese.
