IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 less 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. 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.
