These water softener systems have been tested by WQA and conform to NSF/ANSI 44
for specific performance claims as verified and substantiated by test data. The rated salt
efficiencies above were also determined in accordance with NSF/ANSI 44 and are only valid
at the salt dosage referenced above. An efficiency rated water softener is a demand initiated
regeneration (DIR) softener which also complies with specific performance specifications
intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation. Efficiency
rated water softeners shall have a rated salt efficiency of not less that 3350 grains of total
hardness exchanged per pound of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams of total
hardness exchanged per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating.
The rated efficiency of the water softener, the salt dosage at that efficiency, the capacity at
that salt dosage and that of the efficiency is only valid at the stated salt dosage. Efficiency is
measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum
possible efficiency the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency
achieved after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the efficiency due to
individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants
that reduce the water softener’s capacity. These systems are not intended to be used for
treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. Refer to the system Installation and Service Manuals for
set-up and programming instructions. Contact your local Premier dealer for parts and service.
