Installation Instructions 1. Determine the best location for your water softener, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line and 110 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the softener to freezing or temperatures above 110°F (43°C) will void the warranty. 2. Water to supply outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not be softened. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply hard water to the inlet of the water softener and to the outside faucets.
7. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service position. 8. Set the time of day and the program wheel according to the instructions on page 4. 9. Remove back cover plate. Make sure that the salt dosage is set as recommended on page 5. NOTE: The various regeneration positions may be dialed manually by turning the large knob on the front of the control clockwise, until the indicator shows the desired position. 10. Turn the large knob to the backwash position.

Maintenance Checking the Salt Level Check the salt level monthly. Remove the lid from the cabinet or brine tank, make sure salt level is always above the brine level (you should not be able to see water). Adding Salt Use only clean salt labeled for water conditioner use, such as crystal, pellet, nugget, button or solar. The use of rock salt is discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which build up in the brine tank and can cause problems with the system’s operation.
