These softeners conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for the specific performance claims as verified and substantiated by test data. These models are efficiency rated.
The efficiency rating is valid only at the stated salt dose and maximum service flow rate. They have a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R.) feature that
complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. These softeners
have a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver
more salt than their listed ratings. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the
maximum possible efficiency that the systems can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically
less than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the softener's
capacity. These systems are not intended for use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system. For best results, use coarse solar salt. Refer to this Installation/operation manual and the limited warranty for further details on installation,
parts and service, maintenance and further restrictions or limitations to the use of the product.
