Hard Water

Bypass Position

Check water inside your RV or at the outlet side of
the RV Softener with the test strips supplied. If
water tests more than 3 grains hard (50ppm) it is
time to regenerate the RV Softener following the
instructions on the next page, download the PDF,
or watch the Regeneration video.

Connect garden hose from
outlet of RV Water Softener to
your RV city water connection
or portable water tank. (On

initial installation softener is
ready for use and does not
need to be regenerated. Allow
water to run into a drain for a
few minutes as there may be
some color throw from the new
softening material in your new
softener.)
