* All control valves are installed loose and threaded onto the water softener tank. Be careful 

during uncrating and installation process to avoid any damage to the system components. 

** Resin and gravel are supplied in bulk on pallets. The proper amount is supplied for the 

system. Divide resin and gravel equally between the number of mineral tanks. 

 

 

Make sure that the installation location of the skid and brine tanks is smooth, level, and 
sturdy enough to support the weight of the system once it is in operation. 

 

The softener should be located close to a drain. It is recommended to install the system 
no more than 10 ft away from a drain that can handle high flow rate backwash load.
