following conditions are required:

• 

Level platform or floor.

•  Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C) and below 120°F 

(49°C) .

•  Water pressure below 125 psi (8 .61 bar) and above  

20 psi (1 .4 bar) .

•  In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi 

(6 .89 bar) .

•  Constant electrical supply to operate the controller .
•  Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three 

meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system .

•  Local drain or tub for discharge as close as possible .
•  Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves .
•  Must meet any local and state codes for site of 

installation .

•  Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments . Do 

not support weight of system on the plumbing .

•  Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before 

attaching plastic valve to the plumbing .

•  Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding 

salt to tank .
