Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING"

These words mean:

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell

you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall

be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation.

In the state of California: You must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature setting to ON. This may initiate

more frequent recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher. To turn

on the Salt Efficiency Feature, follow the instructions in the "Salt Efficiency" section of this manual.

= The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 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 if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow). Failure to use a

pressure reducing valve may cause damage to the system, resulting in flooding and damage to property. If your

home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes

and laws.

= The water softener works on 24 V DC electrical power, supplied by a direct plug-in power supply (included). Be

sure to use the included power supply and plug it into a nominal 120 V, 60 Hz household outlet that is in a dry

location only, grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse.

= Do not use this system to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection upstream or downstream of the system.

ing to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are
