CAUTIONS
PLEASE READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING
GUIDES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SOFTENER
OR OTHER PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
POSSIBLE FATAL SHOCK.
▲THIS SOFTENER WORKS ON 24 VOLTS ONLY. BE
SURE TO USE ONLY THE TRANSFORMER IN-
CLUDED, AND PLUG IT INTO A HOUSEHOLD 120V
OUTLET. IF TRANSFORMER IS REPLACED, USE
ONLY THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE, CLASS II, 24
VOLT, 10 VA TRANSFORMER.
▲Unplug the transformer right away if the power
cable should become damaged or frayed. Make re-
pairs before plugging back into the power outlet.
▲Always unplug the softener from electrical power
before removing outer valve covers.
▲This system is not intended to be used for treating
water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
▲Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before
installing and using your new water softener. Follow
all steps exactly to correctly install. Failure 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 minerals
and “clear water”iron* from water, up to the limits
shown on page 4-1. It will not remove other types of
iron, acids, tastes and odors, etc. It will not purify pol-
luted water or make it safe to drink.
▲Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Dam-
age from freezing voids the softener warranty. See
page 3-3.
* Capacity to remove clear water iron was tested in the
field by the manufacturer.
