General:
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• Keep media tank in the upright position. Do not turn upside down or drop. Turning the tank upside
down will cause media (resin) to enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between 39.2 ˚F (4 ˚C) and 104 ˚F (49 ˚C).
• Operating water temperature is between 39.2 ˚F (4 ˚C) and 104 ˚F (40 ˚C).
• Working water pressure range is 30 psi to 125 psi (USA) and 30 psi to 100 psi (Canada) .
• Follow state and local codes for water testing. Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality.
• When filling the media tank with water, do not open main water valve completely. Fill tank slowly to
prevent media from exiting the tank.
• Allow welded or soldered parts to cool and set before installing any plastic parts.
Location Selection:
Location of a water treatment system is important. The following conditions are required:
• As close as possible to the incoming main water supply.
• As close as possible to the floor drain.
• To soften all water in the home, install the softener to the main water supply inlet before the in-line
filtration system (if applicable) and before all other plumbing connections, except outside water lines.
Outside faucets should remain on hard water to avoid wasting conditioned water and salt.
• Connect the softener to the main water supply line ”before” the water heater.
• Level platform on floor.
• Allow floor space to access equipment for maintenance and adding regenerant (salt) to tank.
• Constant electrical supply to operate controller.
• Total minimum pipe to water heater of 10 ft. to prevent backup of hot water into system.
• Water line connections with shutoff valve.
• Must meet any local or state codes for site of installation.
CAUTION: DO NOT run hot water through the softener.
Temperature of water passing through the softener must be less
than 104 ˚F/ 40 ˚C.
CAUTION: DO NOT install the softener in a location where it
can freeze. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
