Facts to Remember While Planning Your Installation:

1)All installation procedures MUST conform to local and state plumbing codes.

2)If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated by the water softener, a larger model MUST be selected to accommodate the higher flow rate plus the backwashing requirements of the water softener. Consult our Customer Service Department at 1-866-990-9785 for alternative instructions if the pumping rate is insufficient.

3)Remember that the water softener INLET is attached to the pipe that supplies water (i.e. runs to the pump) and the OUTLET is the line that runs toward the water heater.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:

•Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water flow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water treatment equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.

4)Before commencing the installation it is advisable to study the existing piping system and to determine the size, number and type of fittings required.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:

•If the home electrical system requires use of the cold water system as an electrical safety ground, a jumper must be used to ensure a sufficient ground connection across the filter installation piping — refer installation to qualified personnel.

5)Sweep the floor to eliminate objects that could pierce the brine tank.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Sodium Information: Water softeners utilizing sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water softened water. Persons who are on sodium re- stricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake. As a reference as to how much sodium is added to softened water consider the following. For each grain per gallon of water hardness that is exchanged from the water supply, 7.5 milligrams per liter of sodium will be added to the softened water. e.g. 10 grains per gallon (gpg) exchanged will add 75 milligrams of sodium to the softened water.

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.
