When you call, please be prepared to provide the model and serial number,
found on the rating decal, typically located on the rim below the salt lid hinges.
*Capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by WQA test data. State of Wisconsin
requires additional treatment if water supply contains clear water iron exceeding 5 ppm.
**Intermittent flow rate does not represent the maximum service flow rate used for detemi-
ning the conditioner’s rated capacity and efficiency. Continuous operation at flow rates
greater than the service flow rate may affect capacity and efficiency performance.
***Typical residential chlorine concentration is 0.5 to 1.0 ppm.
§ From independent laboratory test data.
This system conforms to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 & 44 for the specific performance claims
as verified and substantiated by test data.
Variable Salt Dose: The salt dose is selected by the electronic controls at regeneration
time based on the amount needed.
