Select Installation Location
Consider all of the following when selecting an installation location for the unit.
•
To condition all water in the home, install the unit close to the water supply inlet, and before all other plumbing
connections, EXCEPT outside water pipes. Outside faucets should remain on hard water to avoid wasting
conditioned water and salt.
•
A nearby drain is needed to carry away regeneration discharge water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub, sump,
standpipe, etc., or other options (check your local codes).
•
The unit works on 24 volts only. A transformer is required to reduce 220V--50 Hz household electrical power.
Provide an approved, grounded outlet within 2 meters of the unit.
•
Always install the unit BEFORE the water heater and after all other installed water conditioning equipment
(see Figure 5 below).
