DISC SELECTION WS-40/80
 
The amount of hardness removed (in compensated gpg) will be based on the amount of brine and the meter disc
selected.
1.
Determine the compensated hardness. This requires a hardness test and an iron test on raw water at the
application site. Compensated hardness is calculated by multiplying the ferrous iron (in ppm) by 3 and adding
it to the grains of hardness.
2.
To test the water supply, use the water analysis test kit available through Pro Products Inc. The recommended
kit is #2401 Field Analysis Kit. To order the test kit contact Pro Products at 800-285-9176 or visit
www.ProProducts.com.
3.
Determine the salt setting. The salt setting is determined by taking the compensated hardness (calculated in
step 1 above) and using the specification table for model WS-40 or WS-80.
4.
Verify the float cup setting. Use specifications for the WS-40 or WS-80 to determine the correct setting the
float cup height.
