 

Check and comply with provincial / state 
and local codes.  It may be mandatory that 
these codes/laws be followed. 

 

Use care when handling the water soften-
ing system. Do not turn upside down, drop, 
drag or set on sharp protrusions. 

 

The water softening system works on 24 
volt-60 Hz electrical power only. Be sure to 
use only the included transformer. 



door 120 volt, grounded outlet only. 

 

Use clean water softening salts only, at 
least 99.5% pure. Extra Course Grade or
