GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The water conditioner is not designed to support the weight of plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be
used on black “O” Rings. This will allow ease of installation and decrease chance of rolling from the bypass and
tank connections.
Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon
®
tape must be used on the threads of the drain line
connection. Teflon
®
tape is not used on any connection where “O” Ring seals are used
NOTE: If the plumbing system is used as the ground leg of the electric supply, continuity should be maintained
by installing ground straps around any non-conductive plastic piping or bypass used in the installation.
Make sure the filter is not installed backwards. The filter will not function properly if installed backwards and filter
media may be forced into the water lines. Arrows molded into the valve body and into the bypass indicate the
direction of flow.
