Important Safety Information – Read All  

Instructions Before Using 

 

Before beginning installation, read these instructions completely. Then obtain all the materials and 
tools needed for installation. 

 

NOTE: Failure to install the Fleet Farm Water Treatment system correctly voids the 
warranty. 

 

Perform installation according to state and local plumbing codes. 

 

Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder connections, as required by state and 
federal codes. 

 

Handle all components of the 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system with care. Do not drop, drag or 

turn components upside down. 

 

Be sure the floor under the water softening system is clean and level. 

 

The 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system uses 110volt 60 Hz electrical power.  

 

-  

 

Plug transformer into an indoor 120 volt, grounded outlet. 

 

   Properly ground 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system to conform with all codes and 

ordinances. 

 

Install 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system in a protected area. Be sure electric outlet and 

transformer do not come in contact with water. See 

Where to Install the Softener

, in the installation 

section of the manual

.

 

-

 

Do not attempt to treat water over 110°F with the 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system.  

Always connect the 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system to the main water supply pipe 

before 

water heater. 

-

 

Do not expose 

Fleet Farm Water Treatment 

system to freezing temperatures. Water freezing 

in the system causes equipment damage. 

-

 

Do not install in direct sunlight. Heat from sun may cause damage. 

 

Minimum inlet water pressure is 20 psi. Maximum inlet water pressure is 125 psi. Use pressure 
reducing valve if necessary. 

 

Use clean water softening salts only, at least 99.5% pure. Failure to use the correct salt may create a 
health hazard or maintenance problems. 

-

 

Use nugget, pellet, block, solar, or coarse solar salts. 

-

 

Do not use  granulated or ice cream making salts. 

 

Always keep the salt lid in place unless servicing the unit or replenishing salt. 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

CAUTION

Read and follow the information in this manual to 

minimize the risk of electric shock or personal injury. 
 

IMPORTANT!

  If you are unsure about installing your Fleet 

Farm Water Treatment water softener, contact the Fleet Farm 
Water Treatment helpline or consult a professional plumber. 
 

IMPORTANT!

  This system must be installed in compliance 

with applicable state and local codes, law, and regulations. 

 

CAUTION: 

 

Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality. 

 

Test water periodically to verify that the system is 
performing satisfactorily. 

 

Discard small parts remaining after the installation.
