Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation
1.
See typical installation (Fig 2). The Pro-OX-AIR filter is installed after the pressure tank.
2.
Install on a level floor or surface.
3.
Filter system must be installed at least 10 feet ahead of inlet to water heater to prevent
damage due to back-up hot water or use a check valve to prevent hot water back-up.
4.
DO NOT install the unit in an area of direct sunlight or expose to freezing.
5.
Locate the unit near an unswitched, 120 volt / 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet.
6.
Make sure to connect the IN pipe to the 5900-BT inlet and the OUT pipe to the outlet.
7.
Make sure there is a working gate or ball valve before the 5900-BT Pro-OX Filter and also
one after as shown in Fig 2. The pressure gauges are optional. A hose bib (which is a faucet
that you can attach a garden hose to) is strongly recommended after the Pro-OX-Air Filter
and before the second ball valve, for rinsing and sampling water.
8.
If you will be using copper piping, do not sweat the copper pipe directly on to the 5900-BT
control valve. Avoid heating up the 5900-BT control valve plastic with the torch.
9.
You do not need unions to install your 5900-BT control valve. If you need to remove it, the
5900-BT has quick-release couplings that make it easy to put the filter on by-pass and
remove the filter system from the piping.
10.
The drain line tubing is connected to a drain from the drain outlet using flexible poly tubing.
The drain can run up above the control head and out to a drain, although this may require
installing a one way, flapper-stlye check valve.
11.
Most plumbing codes require an air-gap connection, so that if your sewer or septic tank
backs up, it cannot cross connect with the drain tubing (if running tubing into the washing
machine drain pipe, for example)
