Models 3MAQ, 3BAQ, 3BEQ, 2MXQ, 2AMQ and 2APQ are certified by WQA for barium and radium reduction
as verified and substantiated by test data. All other models are not certified by WQA and make no health
claims.
2
Municipally supplied chlorinated water only.
3
Calcite will add additional hardness to water before softening.
4
Any hardness over 10 gpg (0.17 grams/liter) will increase the chance of calcium carbonate precipitation. As the
hardness increases so does the chance of this precipitation. Must use citric acid to regenerate along with salt.
5
Regeneration every 96 hours is required when iron is present in the raw water supply unless noted otherwise.
Use Salt Setting #3 or #4.
6
Iron reduction claims limited to 5 ppm in the state of Wisconsin.
7
Must have a minimum of 2 ppm iron and a minimum of 200 ppm TDS.
8
When adding media in the field, check for proper settings. (See Water Conditioner Specifications, above.)
9
Rate of flow must be verified at the end of 1/2-inch I.D. drain line.
10
This model has no backwash flow control button or retainer. Must have a minimum of 7 gpm @ 30 psi
(26.5 L/ min @ 2.1 bar) available for proper backwash.
11
For the purposes of plumbing appliance sizing, only the rated service flow rate and corresponding pressure
loss may be used. Prolonged operation of a water softener at flow rates exceeding the tested service flow rate
of 8 gpm (30.3 L/min) may compromise performance.

Reduces iron, iron algae, and bacteria. Reduces manganese. Also reduces up to 5 ppm
Hydrogen Sulfide with the presence of 2 ppm iron. For regeneration frequency, see

Filter Sizing Formula
for this model.
1AAE-BWO
Reduces tastes, odors and will reduce most man-made pollutants. Backwash every 3 days or as
needed.
Warning:
Must not be backwashed for 24 hours after installation.
1AAR-BWO
Reduces suspended matter (turbidity) from water down to the 20–40 micron range. Backwash
every 3 days or as needed
1AAS-BWO
Will raise the pH of most low pH water. The mineral media must be replenished periodically to
maintain optimum bed depth for effective correction. Backwash every 2 days to prevent
solidification of mineral media.
1AAF-BWO
Reduces suspended matter (turbidity) from water down to nominal 20 microns. Backwash every
3 days or as needed.
