Safety Precautions; Proper Installation - GE SmartWater GXSS20B Manual Del Propietario Y Instrucciones De Instalación

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Check and comply with your state and local codes.
You must follow these guidelines.
Use care when handling the water softening
system. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag, or
set on sharp protrusions.
Water softening systems using sodium chloride
(salt) for regeneration add sodium to the water.
Persons on sodium restricted diets should consider
the added sodium as part of their overall intake.
Potassium chloride can be used as an alternative to
sodium chloride in your softener.
The water softening system works on 24 volt-60 Hz
electrical power only. Be sure to use only the
included transformer.

PROPER INSTALLATION

This water softening system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type
of weather. Water freezing in the system will break
it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
Do not install in direct sunlight. Excessive sun
heat may cause distortion or other damage to
non-metallic parts.
Properly ground to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder
connections, as required by state and federal codes.
The water softening system requires a minimum
water flow of three 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 to reduce the flow if necessary.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
electric shock, property damage or personal injury.
Transformer must be plugged into an indoor
120 volt, grounded outlet only.
Use clean water softening salts only, at least 99.5%
pure. NUGGET, PELLET or coarse SOLAR salts
are recommended. Do not use rock, block,
granulated or ice cream making salts. They contain
dirt and sediments, or mush and cake, and will
create maintenance problems.
Keep the salt hole cover in place on the softener
unless servicing the unit or refilling with salt.
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
Softener resins may degrade in the presence of
chlorine above 1 ppm. If you have chlorine in excess
of this amount, you may experience reduced resin
life. In these conditions, you may wish to consider
purchasing a GE point-of-entry household filtration
system with a chlorine reducing filter.
WARNING:
Discard all unused parts and
packaging material after installation. Small
parts remaining after the installation could
be a choke hazard.
