Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested:
An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water conditioning equipment. Your dealer will generally perform this service for you,
and may send a sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations. Enter your analysis below for your permanent record.
Analysis of Your Water:
Hardness gpg
Tannins (Humic Acid) ppm
Iron (Fe) ppm
Hydrogen Sulfi de (H2S) ppm
Manganese (Mn) ppm
Other ppm
pH ppm
Other ppm
IMPORTANT NOTES
Hydrogen sulfi de (H
2
S) must be tested for at the well site. For accuracy, the sample must be drawn with the
pump RUNNING, and the test be completed within ONE minute after the sample is drawn.
Softeners are designed to reduce hardness but can handle reasonable amounts of soluble iron if consideration
is given to content when selecting model and regeneration settings. To treat sulfur (hydrogen sulfi de), bacte-
rial iron, precipitated iron or very high levels of soluble iron requires special equipment in addition to a water
softener. For best results, a Chem-Free Iron Reduction System is recommended for use on waters containing
more than 2 ppm of iron.
