IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 recharge 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 in your softener.
■
The water softening system works on 24 volt-60 Hz
electrical power only. Be sure to use only the
included transformer.
■ Transformer must be plugged into an indoor
120 volt, grounded outlet only.
■ Use clean water softening salts only, at least 99.5%
pure. NUGGET, PELLET or coarse SOLAR salts are
recommended. Do not use rock, block, granulated
or ice cream making salts. They contain dirt and
sediments, or mush and cake, and will create
maintenance problems.
■ 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 or
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 2 ppm. If you have chlorine in excess
of this amount, you may experience reduced life
of the resin. In these conditions, you may wish to
consider purchasing a GE point-of-entry household
filtration system with a chlorine reducing filter.
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.
