FAQ
Q: How often should I replace the SO-20 softening cartridge?
A: Change cartridges on a regular six-month preventative maintenance program or when the hardness of treated water increases to more than three grains per gallon (gpg). To calculate cartridge life, divide 1500 grains by your water's hardness level in gpg.
Q: Can I use this cartridge with turbid or dirty water?
A: For dirty or turbid water, a sediment prefilter in addition to a carbon filter is recommended before the SO-20 softening cartridge to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Q: What pressure and temperature requirements does this cartridge have?
A: The SO-20 requires non-shock water pressure between 30-125 psi (2.1-8.6 bar) and operates in temperatures ranging from 40-100°F (4.4-38°C). Service flow rate must not exceed 2.0 gpm.
