on pipes and the outside of the softener occurring in warm environments.

• This softener has reversible valve technology, meaning the valve connector can be located on either

side of the softener allowing easier installation and siting. If you would like to relocate the valve

connection, please see the Reversible Connections section starting on page 10 of these instructions.

supported.
