CAUTION: Do not solder brass adapters while inserted in the control module. Excessive
heat may result in damage to the plastic and rubber parts . The materials used in the
soldering process may attack certain types of plastics. Care should be taken during the
installation process to assure that solder and flux do not come in contact with media tanks,
the control module, and related plastic components.

note: The softener has outlet ports on the left side and the right of the cabinet. This
allows the inlet/outlet connections to be fitted on either side of the cabinet by reversing
the components as seen in Figure 2.
note: On drain lines that must travel more than 8 feet up and 30 feet over, it is best to take
the 1/2" drain line that fits the valve and attach it in a largest diameter line or pipe. The
drain line must not be restricted.
