Miracle Water Installation & Operation Manual
Product Specifications
This model is efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum salt dose. This
softener has a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R.) feature that complies with specific perform-
ance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its
operation.
This softener has a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness
exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than its
listed rating or be operated at a sustained maximum service flow rate greater than its listed rat-
ing. This softener has been proven to deliver soft water for at least ten continuous minutes at
the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described in
NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system
can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed.
It is typically less than the rated efficiency, due to individual application factors including water
hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce a softener's capacity.
