commercial grade lters and components.
!

ttings carefully, making sure nothing was damaged during shipping. If any part is cracked or broken, please do not proceed with the installation
and contact PRO+AQUA or your distributor for support.

Required Components Not Included With The System: 80 lbs (2 bags) water softener salt pellets are needed to ll the brine tank. The softener
system will use any kind of salt formulated for water softener use, but it is advised to use the pellet-shaped salt as it tends to dissolve more evenly.
(Potassium can be used for a salt-free alternative.)

1. Water Temperature Parameters
Connect the system to the main water supply pipe before the water heater. Do not run hot water through the system.
• Maximum: 100 °F (37.8 °C)
• Minimum: 40 °F (4.4 °C)
2. Water Pressure Parameters
The maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the
maximum allowed water pressure. Use a pressure-reducing valve (PRV) to reduce the pressure if needed.
• Maximum: 80 psi (5.98 kg/cm²)
• Minimum: 20 psi (1.406 kg/cm²)
3. Chlorine & Chloramine Tolerance
Chlorine or chloramines can degrade softener resin. If your water contains these, it will shorten the resin’s lifespan. We recommend
a whole-house carbon lter that reduces chlorine and chloramines in such cases. (See page 8: Installation Diagram.)
• Maximum: 2 ppm
4. Pre-install Environment Checklist
• Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe. It is recommended to use a pre-lter to remove contaminants and sediment,
extending the life of the softener.
• The system must be installed in an area where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and must be protected against freezing and
extreme heat. If installed in an outside location, steps must be taken to ensure the system, installation plumbing, wiring, etc.,
are protected from the elements and contamination sources.
• Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Use only lead-free solder and ux for all sweat-solder
connections as required by state and federal codes. DO NOT SOLDER WHILE SYSTEM IS CONNECTED.
• Place the system as close as possible to the pressure tank (well system) or water meter (city water).
• Place the system as close as possible to a oor drain, or other acceptable drain point (laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc.).
• The system should be installed with a vacuum breaker to avoid damage to the tank.
• A standard grounded electric outlet with 120 volts will be needed within 6 feet of the system. The included transformer has an
attached 8-foot power cable. Be sure the electric outlet and transformer are protected from moisture and do not use any other
transformer except the one that is included in the system.
• Place the system in a place where water damage is least likely to occur if a leak develops.
• Outside faucets and irrigation systems should be supplied with unsoftened water. If this is not possible, be sure to bypass the
softener when watering grass or plants. Chronic soft water exposure can be detrimental to plant life.
IMPORTANT!
The following condition for feed water supply must be met or the warranty will be voided and the
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage to the system or property.
