Softener Specifications PLEASE NOTE THESE SPECIFICATIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING OPERATING PRESSURE RANGE : 20 - 125 PSI OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE : 33º F - 120º F INLET / OUTLET PIPE SIZE : 3/4: FNPT PLEASE COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE PLUMBING CODES PROTECT THE SOFTENER AND PIPING FROM FREEZING TEMPERATURES Please read the entire Owner’s Manual and Instruction before installation.
Installation -Pre-Installation Check List- A water test should always be performed in order to determine total water hardness (in gpg) and total dis- solved iron (in parts per million - ppm). This is critical for proper equipment selection, sizing and for determining the program for regeneration frequency.

Installation -Softener Location / Other Requirements- • Locate the unit near an unswitched, 120 volt / 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. • Check for distance and proper drain installation (e.g. floor drain, washing machine standpipe). • Determine type and size of piping required for softener connection (e.g. copper, galvanized, PVC plastic). Note •...
Installation -Installation Procedure- - Water Supply Connections and Bypass Valve - To allow for softener servicing, swimming pool filling or lawn sprinkling, a manual bypass valve has been installed at the factory. The bypass allows hard water to be manually routed around the softener. 1.
Installation -Brine Line and Overflow Connection- 1. Position brine tank on a smooth, level surface near the softener resin tank. If necessary, the brine tank can be placed at a higher level than the resin tank, but never at a lower level. 2.

Installing the Control Valve - Setting The Regeneration Schedule - 1. Locate the program wheel just to right of the manual regeneration knob. (See Figure 1.) 2. Rotate program wheel until the white dot located on the outermost gear is aligned with the capacity (gallons) arrow on the control panel.
Installing the Control Valve - General Care and Cleaning - 1. Do not place heavy or sharp objects on water softener or cabinet. 2. Use only mild soap and warm water to clean exterior of the unit. Never use harsh, abrasive cleaners. 3.
