Important Notes on Installation 

 

Water Testing

 — 

Because of variances in water quality, if your water source 

is a well, please contact Support at 1-800-428-9419 before installation. You 
should have your water tested by a certified water laboratory.

 

Water Shutoff 

— 

Naturally Filtered will not be held liable for damages, 

including any and all water damage caused by this product or its plumbing. 
It is recommended that the homeowner consider the use of an electronic 
water shut off system (such as WaterCop –

  http://www.watercop.com

). 

See 

Warning page 9.

 

Drainage

 —  

The MG-10 requires a drain or drain field (dependant on local 

plumbing code) for the unit to dispose of water during its regeneration cycle. 
The drain or drain field must be able to disburse a minimum of 5 GPM. 

 

Water Pressure 

— 

Water pressure should not exceed 100 psi. If your water 

pressure is close to 100 psi, you must have a plumber install a pressure 
regulator on your main line before the MG-10. 

Existing Plumbing 

 — 

The condition of the existing plumbing should be 

free from lead, lime, and iron buildup. Piping that is heavily built up with lead, 
lime, and/or iron should be replaced. All new plumbing should be performed 
in accordance with local plumbing codes. 

Electric Code 

— 

An uninterrupted alternating current 110V (AC), 60 Hz, 

supply is required. Unit must be installed to meet the current National Elec-
tric Code. A ground-fault-interrupt (GFI) outlet is recommended to protect 
your unit.
