CARESOFT ELITE AND CARESOFT PRO SPECIFICATIONS:
Manufacturer recommends the use of coarse solar salt in these water softeners.
The CSE, CSEC, CSP, and CSPC softeners conform to NSF/ANSI 44 for the specific performance claims as verified and substantiated by test data.
The Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) water softener complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of
regenerant brine and water used in its operation. Efficiencies are only valid at stated salt dosages and maximum service flow rate.
Only the efficiency-rated water softener models have a rated capacity of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per
pound of salt (based on NaCl) and shall not deliver more salt or be operated at a sustained maximum service flow rate greater
than its listed rating. Efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum
possible efficiency the system can achieve after the system has been installed. The operational efficiency is typically less than the
efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the
softener’s capacity.
These water softeners are not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.

All CareSoft Elite RC and CareSoft Pro RC water conditioners are factory preset at medium salting.
Note: influent waters must be at least 3 GPG hardness and 80 TDS. A calcite or corosex unit may be
needed for correct operation.
2
Iron removal may vary depending on form of iron, pH and other local conditions. On waters that are pre-
chlorinated, or where other pre-oxidation occurs, an iron precipitate can form that is too small to be filtered.
3
The pH listed is the minimum for the influent water.
4
Unit not tested for capacity at these peak flow rates. Water quality may vary.
