A. SAFETY GUIDES
Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before
installing and using your new water softener. Follow
all steps exactly to correctly install. Failure to follow
them could cause personal injury or property damage.
Reading this book will also help you to get all of the
benefits from your water softener.
Your water softener will remove hardness minerals
and "clear water" iron* from water, up to the limits
shown on the specifications page in your owner's
manual. It will not remove other types of iron, acids,
tastes and odors, etc. It will not purify polluted water
or make it safe to drink.
Check with your local public works department for
plumbing, electric and sanitation codes. You must fol-
low their guides as you install your softener. Codes in
the State of Massachusetts require installations by a
licensed plumber. For installation, use plumbing code
248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Use only LEAD-FREE SOLDER AND FLUX, as re-
quired by federal and state codes, when installing sol-
dered copper plumbing.
Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Dam-
age from freezing voids the softener warranty. See
how to protect from freezing in your owner's manual.
[] CAUTIONS
PLEASE READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING
GUIDES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SOFTENER
OR OTHER PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY, OR POS-
SIBLE FATAL SHOCK.
THIS SOFTENER WORKS ON 24 VOLTS ONLY. BE
SURE TO USE ONLY THE TRANSFORMER INCLUDED,
AND PLUG IT INTO A NOMINAL 120V, 60 CYCLE
HOUSEHOLD OUTLET THAT IS GROUNDED AND
PROPERLY PROTECTED BY AN OVERCURRENT DE-
VICE SUCH AS A CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE. IF

Unplug the transformer right away if the power
cable should become damaged or frayed. Make re-
pairs, or replace transformer, before plugging back
