1.
Determine the best location
for your water softener,
bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines,
drain line and 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the
softener to freezing or temperatures above 43°C (110°F)
will void the warranty.
2.
Media Installation (When Necessary).
Models including
and higher than 1.5 CF of media are shipped with sepa-
rate media in pails or boxes. Models lower than 1.5 CF of
media come loaded with media and this step can be
skipped for new installation.
a) Remove the valve from
the mineral tank.
b) Temporarily plug the open end
of the riser tube to ensure that no
resin or gravel falls down into the
distribution.
The riser (distributor) remains
inside the tank seated in the
depression at the bottom.
Plug tube with a tape.
Remove after media is loaded.
Fill support bed first. (if supplied)
The media will not always spill down
inside the tank and may need to be
swept inside.
