9. Water Testing. The water conditioner, like any other appliance, requires correct installation and
setting for optimum performance. To ensure proper settings, you need to obtain an accurate water
test. Do this as follows:
For municipally supplied or “City” water, call your water utility company. Ask them the hardness,
iron content and pH levels of your water.
For well water, have a sample of your untreated water tested for hardness, iron and pH. To
fi nd a facility to test your water sample, check your Yellow Pages under Water Analysis or
Water Testing; or contact the company below to conduct a test for you.

If you feel you have an abnormal amount of iron, be sure to use salt with an
iron-cleaning additive.
10. Adding Water & Salt. Be sure to remove any packaging or installation materials before adding
salt. Next, add no more than 3 gallons of water to the brine cabinet. Then add salt to the brine cabi-
net, wait 2 hours then push the REGENERATE button and hold for 5 seconds. A regeneration cycle
will begin and continue for approximately 27 minutes. After the fi rst regeneration, your appliance will
automatically refi ll the correct amount of water in the brine cabinet. See fi gure 9.
11. Refi ll Salt when the salt level drops below the water level in the brine cabinet. Always
keep salt above water level. See fi gure 9.
CAUTION! Failure to install, operate and maintain your water treatment appliance as instructed will
