SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
Step 1)
Remove the unit from the shipping box and remove all packaging. Ensure no freight damage has occurred since shipment from our manufacturing
facility. Locate the parts package and install the bypass and adapter fi ttings on the control valve to facilitate the connection to the customer’s
water supply.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope.
Use PTFE thread tape only,
pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic;
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.
Step 2)
NOTE: Extension legs should be installed only whenever a salt dosage on any model softener is more than 15 lbs. Models utilizing 15” x 15”
x 34” brine tanks require salt grid extension legs when salting the softener above 15 lbs. of salt or more. Grid legs extension kits are pro-
vided for CWS200 units. All other models requiring extension leg kits can be ordered through your Dealer/Installer or our Customer Service
Department at 1-800-222-7880.
Verify all packaging materials have been removed from the brine tank. On all units, legs rest on bottom of the brine tank.
Step 3)
Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a private well system, turn off power to the pump and drain pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved
from complete system by opening nearest faucet to drain system.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•
SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER
after water is shut off.
Step 4)
Cut main supply line as required to fi t plumbing to INLET and OUTLET of unit.
Step 5)
Attach plumbing.
DO NOT
apply heat to any fi tting connected to BYPASS or CONTROL VALVE as damage may result to internal parts or connecting
adapters. MAKE CERTAIN WATER FLOW ENTERS THROUGH INLET AND DISCHARGES THROUGH OUTLET.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:
• If the home electrical system requires use of the cold water system as an electrical safety ground, a jumper must be used to ensure a suffi cient
ground connection across the water softener installation piping — refer installation to qualifi ed personnel.
Step 6)
The control valve allows for either a 3/4” NPT connection or 5/8” poly tubing for use as a drain line connection.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope.
Use PTFE thread tape only,
pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic;
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.
