It should be filtered outbefore the water reaches the softener.Organic Iron or Bacterial Iron Attached to other organic compounds in the water. Additional treatment is neededto remove this type of iron.Colloidal Iron Not dissolved, yet stays in suspension. A softener cannot remove this type of iron.* If the water supply contains ferrous iron, a commercially available resin bed cleaner should be used every sixmonths. Follow the instructions on the container. Water Quality - If the water supply contains sand, sulfur, bacteria, iron bacteria, tannins, algae, oil, acid, or otherunusual substances, consider pre-treating the water to remove these contaminants before the water supply enters theappliance, unless the appliance is represented as being capable of treating these contaminants in its specifications.The appropriate Hague Water Filter can address these water shortcomings. Iron - A common problem found in many water supplies is iron. It is important to know what type of and how much ironis in the water supply. Water Pressure - Not less than 20 psi or greater than 120 psi (1.4–8.3 bar) constant. If water pressure exceeds 70 psi(4.8 bar), a pressure regulator is recommended. Water Supply Flow Rate - A minimum of 2.4 gallons (9 liters) per minute or equal to the backwash flow rate ofthe particular model is recommended. For the purposes of plumbing sizing, only the rated service flow rate andcorresponding pressure loss may be used. Prolonged operation of a water conditioner at flow rates exceeding thetested service flow rate may compromise performance. Water Temperature - Not less than 40°F or greater than 120°F (4°C - 49°C). Drain - Connect the appliance to an appropriate drain, such as a floor drain or washer drain that will comply with alllocal and state plumbing codes.
