READ THIS GUIDE FIRST 

Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with the device and its capabilities before installing or operating your 
Water Softener. Failure to follow instructions in this manual could result in personal injury or property damage. This 
manual will also help you to get the most out of your Softener.  

 

This system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations. Check with your local public works 
department for plumbing and sanitation codes. In the event the codes conflict with any content in this manual the 
local codes should be followed. For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be 
adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system.  

 

This water Softener is designed to operate on pressures of 30 psi to 125 psi. If the water pressure is higher than the 
maximum, use a pressure reducing valve in the water supply line to the Softener. However, we do not recommend 
pressure above 70 psi for the softener or residential plumbing, anything over 70 psi can cause damage to the seals 
on the softener valve and your plumbing and fixtures.  

 

This unit can operate at temperatures between 40°F and 110°F (4°C - 43°C). Do not use this water Softener on hot 
water supplies.  

 

Do not install this unit where it may be exposed to wet weather, direct sunlight, or temperatures outside of the 
range specified above unless you take precautions to protect it.  

 

Avoid pinched O-rings during installation by applying (provided with install kit) NSF certified lubricant to all seals. 

 

Softeners are commonly exposed to high levels of iron, manganese, sulfur, and sediments. Damage to pistons, 
seals, and or spacers within the control valve are not covered in this warranty due to the harsh environment. 

 

It is recommended to regularly inspect and service the control valve on an annual basis. Cleaning and or 
replacement of piston, seals, and or spacers may be necessary depending on how harsh the conditions are. An 
Annual Maintenance kit (Part # 60010307) is available for this purpose. 

 

Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe without adequate disinfection before or after this system.  

 

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.  

 

This publication is based on information available when approved for printing. Continuing design refinement could 
cause changes that may not be included in this publication. Quality Water Treatment, Inc. reserves the right to 
change the specifications referred to in this literature at any time, without prior notice.
