Plan Your Installation

CHECK YOUR WATER PRESSURE BEFORE INSTALLING

For your water softener to work properly, incoming water pressure in your house pipes must be no lower than 20 pounds per square inch (psi). The highest allowable pressure is 125 psi. If pressure is above 125

psi, buy and install a pressure reducing valve in the pipe supplying water to the softener’s inlet.

NOTE: If water pressure during the day is 100 psi or more, pressure during the night may go above 125 psi.
