Before you start

BEFORE YOU START
The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 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 if necessary (Adding a pressure
reducing valve may reduce the flow). If your home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an
expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes and laws.
The water softener uses a direct plug-in external power supply (included). Be sure to use the
included power supply and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is in a
dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an over current device such as a circuit
breaker or fuse.
WiFi communication requires WiFi connectivity and electrical power at the location of the
softener. App connectivity will not function should either fail. (Check for both before the system
is fully installed.)
Do not use this system to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection upstream or downstream of the system.
