INTRODUCTION
Your WATEX CMS series water softeners are precision built high quality products.
This is an effective solution for water hardness, iron, ammonium and turbidity reduction.
These units will deliver conditioned water for many years to come, when installed and operated properly. Please study this
manual carefully and understand the cautions and notes before installing. This manual should be kept for future reference. If you
have any questions regarding your water softener, contact your local dealer or WATEX.
REQUIREMENTS
Please note that the water SOFTENER is heavy and fragile; the fiberglass tank cannot stand mechanical shocks.
Any mechanical shock can affect the operation of the softener. It is not recommended to roll or turn the softener upside down.
Use a wheeled platform to move the softener. Where it is not possible, move it together with another person using your hands.
Moving by hands, it is recommended to grab the top behind the control valve housing (the place where the control valve
connects to the tank) and the bottom behind the blue fiberglass tank.
