1Models 63MAQ, 63BEQ, 63MXQ, 62AMQ and 62APQ are certified by WQA for barium and radium reduction as verified and substantiated by test data. All other models are not certified by WQA and make no health claims.
2Municipally supplied chlorinated water only.
3Calcite will add additional hardness to water before softening.
4Any hardness over 10 gpg will increase the chance of calcium carbonate precipitation. As the hardness increases so does the chance of this precipitation. Must use citric acid to regenerate along with salt.
5Regeneration every 96 hours is required when iron is present in the raw water supply unless noted otherwise. Use Salt Setting #3 or #4.
6Iron reduction claims limited to 5 ppm in the state of Wisconsin.
7Must have a minimum of 2 ppm iron and a minimum of 200 ppm TDS.
8When adding media in the field, check for proper settings. (See Specifications, above.)
9Rate of flow must be verified at the end of 1/2" I.D. drain line.
10This model has no backwash flow control button or retainer. Must have a minimum of 7 gpm @ 30 psi available for proper backwash.
For the purposes of plumbing appliance sizing, only the rated service flow rate and corresponding pressure loss may be used. Prolonged operation of a water softener at flow rates exceeding the tested service flow rate may compromise performance.
