    6 water pressure at the conditioner is not less than 40 psi (2.8 bar). You may elevate an additional 2 feet (61 cm) for each additional 10 psi (0.7 bar). Where drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line ...

    9 note: if the calculation for the system capacity exceeds 9999 gallons (99.99 cubic meters) (p5, capacity, divided by p3, hardness,) the control will display 9999 (99.99) for capacity until the water usage has dropped the remaining capacity below that number. When water is flowing through the syste...
