The parts required to assemble and install the water
softener are included with the unit. Thoroughly check
the water softener for possible shipping damage and
parts loss. Also inspect and note any damage to the
shipping carton.
Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials.
To avoid loss of small parts, we suggest you keep the
small parts in the parts bag until you are ready to use
them.
Safety Guides
=
The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Maximum allowable inlet
water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use
a pressure reducing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow). If your home is
equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes and
laws.
=
The water softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a direct plug-in transformer (includ-
ed). Be sure to use the included transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is in
a dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse.
Power consumption is 13.5 W max imum and 1.0 W typical. If transformer is replaced, use only UL, CUL or CSA
approved Class 2 transformer with the following specifications:
§
Input: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 13.5 W
§
Output Voltage: 24 VAC
§
Output Current: 400 mA

European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of accord-
ing to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are
in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper
disposal of this equipment.
In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall
be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation.
In the state of California: You must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature setting to ON. This may initiate
more frequent recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher. To turn
on the Salt Efficiency Feature, follow the instructions in the “Salt Efficiency” section of this manual.
