APPLICATION
Water quality - Verify that raw water hardness and iron are within limits. Note the hardness for setting the salt
dosage and recharge frequency.
Pressure - If pressure exceeds 125 psi (860 kPa), install a pressure reducing valve (see materials checklist). On
private water systems, make sure the minimum pressure (the pressure at which the pump starts) is greater than 20
psi (140 kPa). Adjust the pressure switch if necessary.
