System Components (need better image of component names)
CAUTION
When placing the unit into service, pay
attention to the following guidelines
:
y
Water Pressure: A minimum of 40 psi
(2.8 bar) of water pressure is required
for the system to operate effectively.
y
Electrical Facilities: An uninterrupted
alternating current (120 VAC)
supply is required. The control
uses a transformer to supply 12
VDC. Please make sure your
voltage supply is compatible with
your unit before installation.
y
Existing Plumbing: Condition of
existing plumbing should be free
from lime and iron buildup. Piping
that is built up heavily with lime and/
or iron should be replaced. If piping
is clogged with iron, a separate
iron filter unit should be installed
ahead of the water softener.

Equipment Setup
General
When placing the system into service, pay
attention to the following guidelines:
y
DO NOT immerse cord or
power plug in water.
y
Keep cord away from
heated systems.
Electrical
The line voltage must match the voltage
on the specification label. The plug on the
power cord must match the appropriate
outlet. DO NOT connect the system to a
switched electrical outlet.
Plumbing
NOTE:
The system must be connected
to the COLD water line. DO NOT
connect the system to the hot
water line.
The softener system uses the following
connections:
1.
Locate the softener resin tank and
brine tank on a clean, level, firm
surface. Remember that the tank,
when filled with water, will weigh
over 200 lbs.
NOTE:
If the surface is not level, make
sure to level it with a non-cor
-
rosive material. Wood shims
are not recommended as they
could deteriorate over time.
2.
If you prefer to keep your outside
taps unsoftened, you will need to
install bypass lines for unsoftened
hard water to the outside taps.
3.
Install the top distributor basket to
the control head.
4.
Lubricate the tank o-ring and
distributor o-ring using silicone
lubricant.
5.
Attach the control head to the
resin tank by screwing it onto the
top of the tank. Do NOT use any
thread or pipe sealant on the tank
threads. The control head seals
when the o-ring is fully engaged.
