Place the softener as close as possible to
the pressure tank (well system) or water
meter (city water).

floor drain, or other acceptable drain point
(laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc.).

Connect the softener to the main water
supply pipe BEFORE the water heater. DO

ing through the softener must be less than
100 deg. F.

save soft water and salt.

Do not install the softener in a place where
it could freeze. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the war-
ranty.

is least likely to occur if a leak develops.
The manufacturer will not repair or pay for
water damage.

A 120 volt electric outlet, to plug the in-
cluded transformer into, is needed within 6
feet of the softener. The transformer has
an attached 6 foot power cable. Extension
cables are available. Be sure the electric
outlet and transformer are in an in-
side location, to protect from wet
weather.

If installing in an outside location, you
must take the steps necessary to assure
the softener, installation plumbing, wiring,
etc., are as well protected from the ele-
ments, contamination, vandalism, etc., as
when installed indoors.

Keep the softener out of direct sun-
light
. The sun’s heat may soften and dis-
tort plastic parts.
Where To Install The Softener
How Your Water Conditioner Works
The principle behind water softening is simple chemistry. A water softener contains resin
beads which hold electrically charged ions. When hard water passes through the softener,
calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the charged resin beads. It's the resulting re-
moval of calcium and magnesium ions that produces soft water.
