Operating Conditions
This softening system will operate at maximum efciency under the following conditions:
Operating Conditions
Working conditions Working pressure 21 psi to 120 psi
Water temperature 40°F - 120°F (5° C - 50°C)
Working Environment
Environment temperature 40°F - 120°F (5°C - 50°C)
Relative humidity ≤95% when temperature is 25C/77°F
Power source AC100~240V/50~60Hz
Inlet Water Quality
Water turbidity Down-ow Regeneration <5FTU
Chlorine <0.1ppm
Iron2 <0.3ppm
• All plumbing and electrical work should be performed by an accredited professional to ensure all local, munici-
pal, and state codes are met.
• Do not use the water softener with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality.
• Do not use the brine tube, injector body, or other connectors on the valve as a handle to carry the system.
•Ensure there is salt in the brine tank at all times when in use for softening. The brine tank should contain clean
water softening salt only, at least 99.5% pure. Do not use small grain salt.
•When there is moderate to high turbidity, a lter should be installed before the softening system on the inlet
side.
• If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi, it is recommended to install a pressure valve. If the water pressure is under
20 psi, a boost pump must be installed before the water inlet.

Prior to Assembly
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid irreversible
damage to connector threading, hand tighten
plastic connections rst. If leaks are noted
during initial start up, gently tighten with tool.
1. Prior to installation of this water softener, ensure you are aware of local laws and
codes regarding the installation, use, and maintenance of water softeners.
2. Resin Tank - the tank may be shipped with a temporary shipping cap, a master
O-Ring, and a piece of tape covering the riser tube. This is to prevent resin from
entering the riser tube during shipping. The cap, master O-Ring, and tape must
be removed and discarded prior to attaching control valve and the upper distrib-
utor. (Another master O-ring is supplied.)
3. Unpack the product and ensure all listed parts are included.
4. Turn off the main water line to your home prior to installation.
5. If you will be draining the tank, shut offthe power supply to your water heater.
6. Turn on the water faucets in the highest and lowest levels of your home.
Begin assembly on pages 7-12.

bracket (1) over top of brine well, lining up hole in bracket with
hole in brine tank as shown in Figure 1.1.
D. Insert threaded end of bracket into top hole (2) of brine tank.
Replace nut on bracket outside of hole in tank.
E. Feed PVC tubing (3) from outside the brine tank through the
hole in the bracket. Push tubing rmly into quick connect tting
on brine valve.
F. When fully inserted, secure tubing by placing blue “c” clamp (4)
from Parts Bag A in between collar of quick connect tting and
brine valve.
G. Replace brine well cap.

Assembly Instructions
A. Slide brine nut over end of brine tube. Insert brine tube bushing/lter screen into the end of brine tube.
B. Insert brine tubing into brine line connector.
C. Tighten hexagonal nut onto brine line connector.
STEP 4: Connect Brine Line to the Control Valve
STEP 5: Connect backwash drain line to control valve
A. Slide drain hose connector into drain outlet.
B. Insert drain line ow control into drain outlet.
C. Attach clear drain tubing to connector. Secure
using a hose clamp (from Owner’s Manual Zip-
lock Bag.)
D. Secure the clear drain tubing over a oor drain
or other suitable drain. Leave an air gap of
about 1 1/2” between the end of the hose and
the drain. An air gap is necessary to prevent

Note: There is one 10’ length of clear drain tubing provided. This tubing will need to be cut to be used for both
backwash drain line from control valve and overow drain line from brine tank. You should measure the length you
need for the backwash line from the resin tank rst, using the remainder for the brine tank overow line.
