Installation instructions.

CAUTION: Certain plumbing skills are needed for installation. If you are unsure about any part of the installation of this product, consult a professional plumber.

Unpacking and Inspection

Be sure to check the entire softener for any shipping damage or parts loss. Also note damage to the shipping cartons. Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit.

Small parts needed to install the softener are packaged either in a bag or on a cardboard sheet. To avoid loss of the small parts, keep them packaged until you are ready to use them. Be sure not to discard components hidden in packaging.

Important Installation Recommendations

Read entire manual. Failure to follow all guidelines and rules could cause personal injury or property damage.

Before you begin installation, read these Installation Instructions completely. Then, obtain all the materials and tools you will need to make the installation. Failure to properly install the softener voids the warranty.

Check local codes. The installation must conform to them.

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult with your licensed plumber.

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.

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.
