These water softener systems have been tested by WQA and conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for specic
performance claims as veried and substantiated by test data. The rated salt eciencies above were
also determined in accordance with NSF/ANSI 44 and are only valid at the salt dosage referenced above.
An eciency rated water softener is a demand initiated regeneration (DIR) softener which also complies
with specic performance specications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water
used in its operation. Eciency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt eciency 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 eciency of the water softener, the salt dosage at that eciency, the capacity at that salt dosage
and that of the eciency is only valid at the stated salt dosage. Eciency is measured by a laboratory
test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible eciency the system can
achieve. Operational eciency is the actual eciency achieved after the system has been installed. It
is typically less than the eciency 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.

Location Selection
Location of a water conditioning system is important.
The following conditions are required:
• Level platform or oor.
Note: The Pro Elite System can be provided with
optional leveling feet that may be used on the two
tanks. Order part number 4000409.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance
and adding regenerant (salt) to tank.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F
(1°C and below 120°F (49°C).
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8.62
bar) and above 20 psi (1.38 bar).
• In Canada the water pressure must
be below 100 psi (6.89 bar).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the control.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater
of ten feet (three meters) to prevent
backup of hot water into system.
• Local drain for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with
shutoff or bypass valves.
• Must meet any local and state
codes for site of installation.
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing
misalignments. Do not support weight
of system on the plumbing.
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before
attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the Pro Elite conditioner be
installed in a protected environment.
When installing the water conditioning system outdoors,
several items must be considered:
• Moisture – The valve and control are rated
for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should
not affect performance. The system is not
designed to withstand extreme humidity
or water spray from below. Examples
are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive
environment, or upwards spray from sprinkler.
• Direct Sunlight – The materials used will fade
or discolor over time in direct sunlight. The
integrity of the materials will not degrade to
cause system failures.
• Temperature – Extreme hot or cold temperatures
will cause damage to the valve or control. Freezing
temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This
will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing and conditioning resin. High
temperatures will affect the control. The display
may become unreadable but the control should
continue to function. When the temperature returns
to normal operating limits, the display will reappear. A protective cover should assist with high
temperature applications.
• Insects – The control and valve have been designed
to keep all but the smallest insects out of the
critical areas. Any holes in the top plate can be
covered with duct tape. The top cover should be
installed securely in place.
WARNING: Dry location use only, unless
used with a Listed Class 2 Power Supply

Water Line and Bypass Connections
A bypass valve system should be installed on all
water conditioning systems. A model 1265 bypass is
included with this system. The bypass valve isolates
the conditioner from the water system and provides
unconditioned water to service during routine
maintenance and servicing procedures. See Figure 5
Model 1265 Bypass (Included) and Figure 6 Typical Three
Valve Bypass Conguration
(Not provided by manufacturer).
Note: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate
the two handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will
help seat the O-rings and prevent leaking.
