with the sole purpose of removing hardness.
Use only lead­free solder and flux, as required local codes, when
installing soldered copper plumbing. Use caution when 'sweat
joining' metal pipes near this water conditioning system. Heat can
adversely affect the plastic used in this system and bypass valve.
Use only silicone grease for lubrication of this unit.
Do not allow this water softener to freeze. Damage from freezing will
void this water softener's warranty. Do not store flammable or
volatile chemicals near this water softener.
For the purpose of plumbing system sizing, only the rated service
(i.e."Normal") flow and corresponding pressure loss may be used.
The rated service flow rates are the flow rates.
Use at least 3 metres of tubing between the outlet of the water
softener and the inlet to the water heater. Water heaters can
overheat to the extent that they can send heat back down the cold
pipe into the unit control valve.
Hot water can severely damage the softener. A 3­metre total pipe
run, including bends, elbows, and fittings, is a reasonable distance
to help hot water damage. A positive way to prevent hot water from
flowing from heat source to the water softener, in the event of a
negative pressure situation, is to install a check valve in the soft
water tubing from the softener. If a check valve is installed, make
sure the water­heating unit is equipped with a rated temperature
and pressure safety relief valve. Be sure that local codes are not
violated.
Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain
and overflow lines) will ever be subjected temperatures less than
1oC (34oF) or greater than 40oC (104oF).
Do not install unit near acid or acid fumes. The use of resin
cleaners in an un­vented enclosure is not recommended
Drain line – Important: If the unit is located more than 6 metres
from drain, use 22mm tubing for distances 6­12metres. Purchase
appropriate fitting to connect the 22mm tubing to the 15mm drain
