System Maintenance and Install Guidelines

Adding Salt
Ensure that the salt level in the brine tank or cabinet is always above the water
level.
Use a quality grade of pellet salt processed especially for use in water softeners.
DO NOT USE ROCK SALT.
Water Pressure
Inlet water pressure range of 25 – 125 psi is required for valve to operate
effectively.
Existing Plumbing
Existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Replace plumbing
that has heavy lime and/or iron buildup. If plumbing is clogged with iron, install a
separate iron filter unit ahead of the water softener.
System By-pass
Installation should always include a system by-pass. If optional by-pass (shown
below) is not used, please use alternate design.
