Safety Guide 



Check and comply with your provincial / 

state and local codes.  You must follow 
these guidelines. 



Use care when handling the water soften-
ing system. Do not turn upside down, 

drop, drag or set on sharp protrusions. 



The water softening system works on 12 
volt-60 Hz electrical power only. Be sure to 

use only the included transformer. 



Transformer must be plugged into an in-

door 120 volt, grounded outlet only. 



Use clean water softening salts only, at 
least 99.5% pure. NUGGET, PELLET or 

coarse SOLAR salts are recommended. Do 

not use rock, block, granulated or ice 
cream making salts. They contain dirt and 

sediments, or mush and cake, and will cre-
ate maintenance problems. 



Keep the salt lid in place on the softener 

unless servicing the unit or refilling with 
salt. 



WARNING

: This system is not intend-

ed for treating water that is microbiologi-
cally unsafe or of unknown quality without 

adequate disinfection before or after the 

system. 

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of 

electric shock, property damage or personal injury. 

Be sure to check the entire softener for any shipping damage or parts loss. Also note dam-

age to the shipping cartons.  Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss 
claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit. 

 
Small parts, needed to install the softener, are in a parts bag. To avoid loss of the small 

parts, keep them in the parts bag until you are ready to use them.
