1A.	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 dam- age. Reading this book will also help you to get all of the benefits from your water softener.

•Your water softener will remove hardness miner- als and "clear water" iron from water, up to the limits shown on page 19. 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.

•Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Damage from freezing voids the softener warranty.

See page 17.
