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

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 conditioner 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). If your
home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes
and laws.
= Temperature of the water supply to the conditioner must be 40-100°F. Do not install on hot water.
= The water conditioner works on 28V 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 120V, 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 dis-
infection upstream or downstream of the system.
