Check Y our Pumping Rate and Water Pressure: T wo water system conditions must be check ed carefully to avoid unsatisfactory operation or equipment damage: 1) MINIMUM water pressure r equired at the water softener inlet is 20 psi (138 kPa). IF WA TER PRESSURE IS OVER 80 psi (552 kPa), A PRESSURE RE- DUCING V AL VE MUST BE INST ALLED IN THE WA TER S[...]

1-3 Facts to Remember While Planning Y our 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 w ater softener , a larger model MUST be selected to accommodate the higher fl [...]

CAUTION T o reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines: • P ay particular attention to correct orienta tion of control valve. W ater fl o w should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water trea tment equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used. 2-2 Figure 5. TYPIC[...]

2-3 Step 5 Attach DRAIN LINE to DRAIN LINE FITTING. T o prevent back pressure from reducing fl ow ra te below minimum required for backwash, DRAIN LINE MUST be sized according to run length and relative height. Be careful not to bend fl exible drain tubing sharply enough to cause "kinking" (if kinking occurs DRAIN LINE MUST BE REPLACED)[...]

3-1 SECTION 3: REGENERA TION INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING REGENERA TION FREQUENCY SCHEDULES: (Time Clock Initiated Models Only) 1) Determine ADJUSTED HARDNESS b y adding three (3) times the iron content in parts per million (ppm) to the hardness in grains per gallon (gpg). The resulting number is ADJUSTED HARDNESS . EXAMPLE: Hardness is 14 g[...]
