SECTION1BEFORE INSTALLING CHECKS & TESTS

A. SAFETY GUIDES

Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using your new water softener. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Failure to follow them could cause personal injury or property damage.

Reading this book will also help you to get all of the benefits from your water softener.

Your water softener will remove hardness minerals

and "clear water" iron* from water, up to the limits

shown on the specifications page in your owner's manual. It will not remove other types of iron, acids, tastes and odors, etc. It will not purify polluted water or make it safe to drink.

Check with your local public works department for plumbing, electric and sanitation codes. You must fol- low their guides as you install your softener. Codes in

the State of Massachusetts require installations by a

licensed plumber. For installation, use plumbing code

248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Use only LEAD-FREE SOLDER AND FLUX, as re- quired by federal and state codes, when installing sol- dered copper plumbing.

Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Dam- age from freezing voids the softener warranty. See how to protect from freezing in your owner's manual.
