A. SAFETY GUIDES

S E C T I O N 1

v 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. v Your water softener will remove hardness minerals and clear water iron from water, up to the limits shown on page 4-1. 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. v Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Damage from freezing voids the softener warranty. See page 3-3.

CAUTIONS PLEASE READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SOFTENER OR OTHER PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY, OR POSSIBLE FATAL SHOCK. v THIS SOFTENER WORKS ON 24 VOLTS ONLY. BE SURE TO USE ONLY THE TRANSFORMER INCLUDED, AND PLUG IT INTO A HOUSEHOLD 120V OUTLET. IF TRANSFORMER IS REPLACED, USE ONLY THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE, CLASS II, 24 VOLT, 10 VA TRANSFORMER. v Unplug the transformer right away if the power cable should become damaged or frayed. Make repairs before plugging back into the power outlet. v Always unplug the softener from electrical power before removing outer valve covers. v This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Transfomer unplugged at the wall outlet, Check for loss of power due to any of these or power cable leads loose, fuse blown, and correct. With the power back on, look at circuit breaker popped, or circuit switched the time display and read PROGRAM off. MEMORY, page 2-1. Manual bypass valve(s) in bypass position Look at FIG.14 on page 4-1. Move the stem in a single valve to service. In a 3-valve bypass, open the inlet and outlet valves, and be sure to fully close the bypass valve. Dirty, plugged or damaged nozzle & Take apart and clean or replace damaged venturi parts (see page 3-2). Valve drain hose plugged The drain hose must not have kinks, sharp bends, or be raised too high above the softener (see page 16 in your LQVWDOODWLRQ PDQXDO). Hardness number setting too low Press and release the SELECT button until HARDNESS shows in the display. Read the hardness number in the display and be sure the same grains per gallon number is shown on your water analysis report. See page 1-4 to reset. Press and release the SELECT button until the present time shows in the display. Incorrect SR code selected. See above. Using hot water when softener is Avoid using hot water during this time because regenerating the water heater refills with hard water (see Automatic Bypass, page 2-4).
