PREPARATIONS
Planning Your Installation
Select the location of your conditioner tank with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:
1.
All installation procedures must conform to local and state or provincial plumbing codes.
2.
Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply untreated water, replace untreated water with feed water to the unit. If necessary to do this please
install check valve,
see page 15
. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply untreated water to the inlet of the water conditioner and to the outside
faucets.
3.
Locate as close as possible to the water supply source.
4.
Locate as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain.
5.
Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment. if closer than 10 feet please install check valve in accordance with local plumbing codes.
6.
Conditioners should be located in the supply line before the water heater. Temperatures above 110°F (43°C ) will cause damage to conditioners.
7.
Do not install a conditioner or conditioner in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage to this type of equipment and will void
the factory warranty.
8.
Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing.
9.
Keep the conditioner out of direct sunlight. The sun’’s heat may soften and distort plastic parts.
2.
Make sure the bypass is attached well to the control valve. Connect the straight or elbow connectors to the bypass with red clips. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water
conditioner to the plumbing of the house. The control valve must not be submitted to temperatures above 43°C (110°F). When sweat fittings are used, to avoid damaging
the control valve, solder the threaded copper adapters to the copper pipe and then, using Teflon tape, screw the assembly into the bypass valve.
Do not use pipe thread compound as it may attack the material in the valve body.
3.
Apply Teflon Tape and Orings to the fittings
4.
Connect Conditioner to the house plumbing. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm)
between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve.
5.
Drain Line connection:
Attach 1/2” ID, 5/8” OD drain hose to the hose barb and tighten securely with a hose clamp. Run the drain line to a floor drain or a laundry drain.
Complete any necessary plumbing.
1.
Determine the best location for your water conditioner, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line and 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the
conditioner to freezing or temperatures above 43°C (110°F) will void the warranty.
