APPLICATION LIMITATIONS
• This system may be applied on municipality or well water systems. On hardness levels of 60 grains
and higher, the system may not achieve a hardness of less than 1 grain, due to high Total Dissolved
Solids. (Some bleed through is possible.) Bleed through can also be caused by Sodium levels higher
than 1000 ppm. In either case, your system can be programmed to minimize these effects. See page
8.
• When this system is installed on water with ferrous iron, also known as clear water iron, the maximum
range of reduction is based on local water conditions. The range is generally below 3 parts per
million. Your equipment may require special programming, along with an additive to the brine tank,
to maximize the equipment’s ability to reduce iron. See page 8
.
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
SALT RECOMMENDATIONS
Two kinds of salt are recommended for water conditioners:
1. Block Salt: Water conditioner block salt is reasonably priced, low in impurities and will not cake in
the salt container. Block Salt is pressed into the shape of a cattle block.
2. Solar Salt: Solar Salt is 98% pure salt, reasonably priced and low in impurities. Solar Salt is in the
shape of pellets.
THE REGENERATION VALVE
The regeneration valve is designed to last many years, but from time to time it may be necessary to
clean and lubricate the moving parts. Your water quality and the amount of regenerations necessary
will affect this maintenance schedule.
TESTING THE WATER
The water should be tested periodically (2 times a year minimum) with hardness test strips to ensure
that the system is performing accurately. Additional test strips can be purchased from the Order
Department. Test strip order number: 38306 pack of 50 test strips.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not install this system where water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• This system must be installed in an area that is not affected by extreme heat, cold or the elements.
The selected installation area must be adequate for easy service of all parts.
• This system must be installed in accordance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations.
• This system is designed to treat cold water only and can be installed on any cold water supply.
