Professional Installation Required: Installation requires shutting water off to home, cutting home water supply pipe and using a welding torch to add piping and fittings. Specialized tools and skills are required. Not a do-it-yourself type of project. Professional installation required!

IMPORTANT: SECTION 1: BEFORE INSTALLATION

Congratulations! We believe your purchase of this water softener will prove to be a very wise choice. When properly installed, operated, and maintained, your new softener will provide years of dependable service. Before starting the installation please read this manual all the way through for an overview, and then follow the installation in proper sequence. Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.

Inspecting And Handling Your Softener:

Inspect the equipment for shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection.

Handle the equipment with care. Damage can result if dropped or if the brine tank is set on sharp, uneven projections on the floor. When handling, do not turn the water softener unit upside down.

Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested:

An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water conditioning equipment. Your dealer will generally perform this service for you,

and may send a sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations. Enter your analysis below for your permanent record.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) must be tested for at the well site. For accuracy, the sample must be drawn with the pump RUNNING, and the test be completed within ONE minute after the sample is drawn.

Softeners are designed to reduce hardness but can handle reasonable amounts of soluble iron if consideration is given to content when selecting model and regeneration settings. To treat sulfur (hydrogen sulfide), bacterial iron, precipitated iron or very high levels of soluble iron requires special equipment in addition to a water softener. For best results, 3MAPPM System is recommended for use on waters containing more than 2 ppm of iron.

NWS100M, NWS150, NWS150M, NWS200M, NWS200 specifications

3M is a leading brand in personal protective equipment, particularly known for its advanced respiratory solutions. Among its range, the 3M NWS series, which includes models NWS100, NWS200, NWS200M, NWS150M, and NWS150, stands out for its innovative features and user-friendly designs. These respiratory protection devices cater to various industrial and healthcare applications, providing reliable performance in demanding environments.

The 3M NWS100 model is designed for basic respiratory protection, featuring a lightweight and comfortable design that encourages prolonged use. Its simple structure allows for easy donning and doffing, making it an ideal choice for facilities where quick access to respiratory protection is essential. Equipped with a high-efficiency filter, the NWS100 effectively captures airborne particles, ensuring the user's safety against dust and other hazardous materials.

In contrast, the 3M NWS200 series incorporates additional features for enhanced protection. This model offers a dual-filter system, which significantly improves the user’s respiratory safety by providing superior filtration against various contaminants. The NWS200 is also equipped with an adjustable headband that ensures a snug fit, critical for maximizing both safety and comfort during wear.

The 3M NWS200M model takes this a step further with its ergonomic design tailored for use in higher-risk environments, where both comfort and efficacy are paramount. This variant features a full-face shield offering additional facial coverage, making it suitable for medical facilities where exposure to infectious agents is a concern. Furthermore, the NWS200M utilizes 3M’s proprietary filtration technology, boasting a higher capture efficiency for fine particles during aerosol-generating procedures.

The 3M NWS150M and NWS150 models share similar characteristics but are designed with slightly different user needs in mind. The NWS150M incorporates a moisture-wicking layer that enhances breathability, which is advantageous during extended wear. On the other hand, the NWS150, while still providing essential protection against particulate hazards, emphasizes a more economical option without sacrificing performance.

Together, the NWS series exemplifies 3M’s commitment to innovation in respiratory protection, ensuring that workers in various industries can access reliable and effective solutions tailored to their specific environments. Each model combines comfort, advanced filtration technology, and user-centric design to provide peace of mind in challenging working conditions.
