•Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat- solder connections, as required by state and federal codes.

•Connect the softener to the main water supply pipe before or ahead of the water heater.

DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE SOFTENER. Temperature of water passing through the softener must be less than 120°F.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT.)

•Use care when handling the softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag or set on sharp protrusions.

•Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary. (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow.)

•The softener works on 24 volt-60 Hz electrical power only. Be sure to use the included transformer. Be sure the electric outlet and transformer are in an inside location to protect from moisture.

•See Where to Install the Softener section for more details.

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. The water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily.

•Small parts remaining after the installation could be a choke hazard. Discard safely.
