WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
electric shock, property damage or personal injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■ Check and comply with your state and local
codes. You must follow these guidelines.
■Use care when handling the water softening
system. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag,
or set on sharp protrusions.
■Water softening systems using sodium chloride
(salt) for regeneration add sodium to the water.
Persons on sodium restricted diets should consider
the added sodium as part of their overall intake.
Potassium chloride can be used as an alternative to
sodium chloride.
■
The water softening system works on 24 volt-60 Hz
electrical power only.
Be sure to use only the
included transformer.
■Keep the salt hole cover in place on the softener
unless servicing the unit or refilling with salt.
WARNING:
Do not
use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the
system.
Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

PROPER INSTALLATION
■Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any
type of weather. Water freezing in the system will
break it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
■
Do not
install in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat
may cause distortion or other damage to non-
metallic parts.
■Properly ground to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances.
■Use only
lead-free solder and flux
for all sweat-
solder connections, as required by state and
federal codes.
■
The water softening system requires a minimum
water flow of three gallons per minute at the inlet.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi.
If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime
pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a
pressure reducing valve to reduce the flow
if necessary.
■
Softener resins may degrade in the presence of
chlorine above 1 ppm. If you have chlorine in
excess of this amount, you may experience
reduced resin life. In these conditions, you may
wish to consider purchasing a GE point-of-entry
household filtration system with a chlorine
reducing filter. Contact the GE Answer Center at
1-800-626-2000 for more information.
WARNING:
Discard all unused parts and
packaging material after installation. Small
parts remaining after the installation could be
a choke hazard.
This water softening system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
