IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
s Check and comply with your state and local codes.
You must follow these guidelines.
s Use care when handling the water softening system.
Do not turn upside down, drop, drag, or set on
sharp protrusions.
s Water softening systems using sodium chloride (salt)
for regeneration add sodium to the water. Persons
on sodium restricted diets should consider the added
sodium as part of their overall intake. Potassium chloride
can be used as an alternative to sodium chloride.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This water softening system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
s Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type
of weather. Water freezing in the system will break it.
Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
s Do not install in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat
may cause distortion or other damage to non-
metallic parts.
s Properly ground to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances.
s Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder
connections, as required by state and federal codes.
s The water softening system requires a minimum
water flow of three gallons per minute at the inlet.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi.
If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure
may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing
valve to reduce the flow if necessary.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

chlorine above 1 ppm. If you have chlorine in excess
of this amount, you may experience reduced resin
life. In these conditions, you may wish to consider
purchasing a GE point-of-entry household filtration
system with a chlorine reducing filter. Contact the
