INSTALLATION & START-UP INSTRUCTIONS 

Prosoft Elite Metered WATER 

SOFTENER 

 

Thank you for your purchase of a new Prosoft Elite 
Metered water softener from Quality Water Treatment! 
We have put together these instructions as a reference, 
and they are to be used as a general installation 
guideline.  

 

 
 

Pre-Installation Guide

 

 
Before you assembly your new system, be sure that the 
following conditions have been met for placement of your 

system: 
 

 

Level, firm surface, such as concrete, on which to place the 

softener tank and salt tank AKA Brine Tank  
 

 

Nearby floor drain or standpipe to connect to the softener for use during each 

regeneration  
 

 

Standard US plug, 120v 60hz (the softener system includes a 5ft. power cord and plug. Be 

sure the plug is not connected to a light switch 

 
Make a list of all the plumbing fittings to completely install the unit  
Typical is:  

 

 

Two - 3/4" or 1” male adaptors  

 

 

Eight - 90

°

 elbows  

 

 

Amount of pipe you need  

 

 

1/2" drain line and 90

°

 elbows  

 
Adding the Resin to the Water Softener Tank  

1. Position your new softener unit where you want it placed for use.  

 

2. Inside the Softener tank you’ll find a 3/4" or 1" gray or white Pvc tube (called a 

distributor tube.) If the tube does not already have a cap on the top use a pvc slip cap or 

some duct tape to temporarily plug this tube (this is to keep the resin from going down the 
tube.) If your system came with gravel, add the gravel first, then the resin. Use the included 
special funnel when adding the resin. This will take about 10 minutes.
