SAFETY GUIDES
•
Read all steps, guides and rules carefully be-
fore installing and using your new water softener.
Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Fail-
ure to follow them could cause personal injury or
property damage. Reading this book will also
help you to get all of the benefits from your water
softener.
• Your water softener will remove hardness min-
erals and "clear water" iron from water, up to the
limits shown on the specifications
page of your
owners manual. It will not remove other types of
iron, acids, tastes and odors, etc. It will not purify
polluted water or make it safe to drink.
• Check with your local public works department
for plumbing, electric and sanitation codes. You
must follow their guides as you install your soft-
ener.
• Use only LEAD-FREE SOLDER AND FLUX, as
required by Federal and State codes, when instal-
ling soldered copper plumbing.
• Protect the softener and piping from freezing.
Damage from freezing voids the softener warran-
ty. See how to protect from freezing in your own-
ers manual.
