Specifications
Before Starting Installation
Tools, Pipe, and Fittings, Other Materials
•
Pliers
•
Screwdriver
•
Teflon tape
•
Razor knife
•
Two adjustable wrenches
•
Additional tools may be required if modification to home
plumbing is required.
•
Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the sof-
tener. To maintain full valve flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to
and from the softener fittings are recommended. You
should maintain the same, or larger, pipe size as the
water supply pipe, up to the softener inlet and outlet.
•
Use copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fittings.
•
Some codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe.
•
ALWAYS install the included bypass valve, or 3 shut-off
valves. Bypass valves let you turn off water to the sof-
tener for repairs if needed, but still have water in the
house pipes.
•
5/8” OD drain line is needed for the valve drain. A 10’
length of hose is included. with some models.
•
A length of 5/8” OD drain line tubing is needed for the
brine tank over flow fitting (optional).
•
Nugget or pellet water softener salt is needed to fill the
cabinet or brine tank.
•
Continuous operation at flow rates greater than the service flow rate may affect capacity and efficiency performance.
•
The manufacturer reserves the right to make product improvements which may deviate from the specifications and
descriptions stated herein, without obligation to change previously manufactured products or to note the change.
These softeners conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for the specific performance claims as verified and substantiated by test data.
These models are efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the stated salt dose and maximum service flow
rate. They have a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R.) feature that complies with specific performance specifications
intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. These softeners have a rated
softener efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride)
and shall not deliver more salt than their listed ratings. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described
in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the systems can achieve. Opera-
tional efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the efficiency due to
individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the softener’s
capacity. These systems are not intended for use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. For best results, use plain, white block salt. Refer to Installation/
operation manual and warranty for further details on installation, parts and service, maintenance and further restrictions or
limitations to the use of the product.
