IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of electric shock, property

damage or personal injury.

■Check with your state and local

public works department for

plumbing and electrical codes.

You must follow these

guidelines.

■

Use care when handling the

water softening system. Do not

turn upside down, drop, or set

on sharp protrusions.

■

Water softening systems using

sodium chloride (salt) for

regeneration add sodium to the

water.

Persons on sodium

restricted diets should consider

the added sodium as part of their

overall intake.

■

The water softening system

works on 24 volt-60 Hz

Electrical power only.

Be sure to

use only the included transformer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

This water softening system must be properly installed and

located in accordance with the Installation Instructions

before it is used. If you did not receive Installation

Instructions, you can receive one by calling us toll-free

at the GE Answer Center®800.626.2000.

PROPER INSTALLATION

■

Install or store where it will not

be exposed to temperatures

below freezing or exposed to

any type of weather. Water

freezing in the system will

break it. Do not attempt to

treat water over 100°F.

■

Do not

install in direct sunlight.

Excessive sun heat may cause

distortion or other damage to

non-metallic parts.

■Properly ground to conform

with all governing codes and

ordinances. Follow details in

Installation Instructions.

■Use only

lead-free solder and

flux

for all sweat-solder

connections, as required by

state and federal codes.

■

The water softening system

requires a minimum water flow

of three gallons per minute at

the inlet. Maximum allowable

inlet water pressure is 125 psi.

If daytime pressure is over 80

psi, night time pressure may

exceed the maximum. Use a

pressure reducing valve if

necessary. (Adding a pressure

reducing valve may reduce

the flow.)

WARNING:

Discard all

unused and packaging

material after installation.

About the water softening system.

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

For emergency needs, hard water is available to the

home during the regeneration cycles.

However, you

should avoid using HOT water because the water heater

will fill with the hard water.

Automatic Hard Water Bypass During Regeneration

When the water softening system is providing soft

water, it is called “Service.” During service, hard

water flows from the house main water pipe into the

water softening system. Inside the water softening

system resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of

tiny, plastic resin beads. As hard water passes

through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the

hardness minerals. This is called ion-exchanging. It is

much like a magnet attracting and holding metals.

Water without the hardness minerals (soft water)

flows from the water softening system and to the

house pipes.

After a period of time, the resin beads become

coated with hardness minerals and they have to

be cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration,

or recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 AM

(factory setting) by the water softening system timer,

and consists of five stages or cycles. These are

FILL,

BRINING, BRINE RINSE, BACKWASH

and

FAST RINSE

Service

Salt dissolved in water is called brine. Brine is needed

to clean the hardness minerals from the resin beads.

To make the brine, water flows into the salt storage

area during the fill stage as shown.

About the water softening system.

Brining

During brining, brine travels from the salt storage

area into the resin tank. Brine is the cleaning agent

needed to remove the hardness minerals from the

resin beads. The hardness minerals and brine are

discharged to the drain.

The nozzle and venturi create a suction to move the

brine, maintaining a very slow rate to get the best

resin cleaning with the least salt.

Brine Rinse

After a pre-measured amount of brine is used, the

brine valve closes. Water continues to flow in the

same path as during brining, except for the

discontinued brine flow. Hardness minerals and

brine flush from the resin tank to the drain.

Backwash

During backwash, water travels

through the resin

tank at a fast flow rate, flushing accumulated iron,

dirt, and sediments from the resin bed and to the

drain.

Fast Rinse

Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water

down

through the resin tank. The fast flow flushes

brine from the bottom of the tank, and packs the

resin bed.

After fast rinse, the water softening system returns to

soft water service.

■A “beeper” sounds while pressing buttons for timer

programming. One beep signals a change in the timer display.

Repeated beeps mean the timer will not accept a change from

the button you have pressed and you should use another button.

■To set the timer, you will use the UP, DOWN and SET buttons.
