Specifications
and Performance Claims.
This model is efficiency
rated, The efficiency
rating is valid only at the minimum
stated salt dose, The softener
has a demand
initiated
regeneration
(D,I,R)feature
that complies
with specific performance
specifications
intended to minimize
the amount
of regenerant
brine and water used in its operation.
The softener
has a rated salt efficiency
of not less than 4,000 grains of total hardness
exchange
per pound
of salt (based on
sodium
chloride), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating or be operated
at a sustained
maximum
service flow
rate greater than its listed rating,
This softener
has been proven to deliver soft water
for at least ten continuous
minutes
at
the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency
is measured
by laboratory
test described
in NSF/ANSI Standard/44.
These
tests represent
the maximum
possible efficiency that the system can achieve,
Operational
efficiency
is the actual efficiency
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 softener's
capacity.

These systems conform
to NSF/ANSI 44 for
the specific capacity
claims as verified and
substantiated
by test data.
*
Testing was performed
using pellet grade
sodium
chloride as the regenerant
salt.
**
Efficiency
rating is valid only at the lowest
stated salt dosage, These softeners
were
efficiency
rated according
to NSF/ANSI 44,
***
Extent of iron removal
may vary with
conditions.
The capacity
to reduce clear water
iron is substantiated
by WOA test data. State
of Wisconsin
requires additional
treatment
if water supply contains
greater than S ppm
clear water iron. Refer to Cleaning
Iron Out of
the Water Softening
System section.
