Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
Note:
Your appliance may come with a bypass valve that enables you to remove the appliance
from service when necessary. Should your appliance NOT have the bypass, a bypass valve like
Figure 3 may be available from your local hardware store or install three-way bypass plumbing
similar to Figure 4.
D.
Make sure the inlet/outlet and drain connections meet the applicable state and local codes.
E.
Check the arrows on the bypass valve to ensure that the water flows in the proper direction.
See
Bypass Valve.
Caution:
Do not plumb the appliance in backward.
F.
Place the appliance in the desired location using Figure 2 as a guide. The diagram in
Figure 2 applies to basement, slab, crawl space, and outside installations.
G.
For most installations, install the appliance after the pressure tank and any water filter
appliance or water meter and before the water heater unless otherwise recommended.
When installing any additional filters, such as a carbon filter for well water, place the filter
after any water conditioning appliance unless otherwise recommended.
Water Heaters:
If less than 10 feet (3 meters) of pipe connects the water treatment
appliance(s) to the water heater, install a check valve between the water treatment
appliance and the water heater as close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the
water heater has an adequately rated temperature and pressure safety relief valve.
H.
For outside installations, the appliance should be enclosed so it is protected from the
weather.
