SECTION1

WATER SOFTENER START UP

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 page 4-1. It will not remove other types of

iron, acids, tastes and odors, etc. It will not purify pol- luted water or make it safe to drink.

Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Dam- age from freezing voids the softener warranty. See page 3-3.
