NTS/NTX User Guide

Before Installation

•  The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing 

misalignment but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

•  Do not use petroleum jelly, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A 

silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.

•  Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Thread seal tape is the preferred sealant 

but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

•  All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. 

Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on filter system.

•  Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required.
•  Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures.

WARNINGS

Locate Water Treatment Equipment Correctly

Select the location of your neutraliser with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper 
location are as follows:
• 

Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment. Contact Puretec for 
assistance.

• 

Locate the neutraliser in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. 

• 

DO NOT install the neutraliser in a location with temperatures below 0

°

C or above 40

°

C. 

Temperatures outside these limits may cause permanent damage and will also void the 
warranty.

• 

Protect from pressure vacuum with a suitable vacuum breaker.

• 

For point of entry installations an approved backflow prevention device must be installed. 

• 

Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be 
installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. (Ref. AS/NZS 
3500.1:2021, Clause 3.3.4).

• 

DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur without installing an arrestor.

• 

Allow sufficient space for installation and easy servicing.

Facts to Remember While Planning Your Installation:

• 

All installation procedures MUST conform to local plumbing codes.

• 

If lawn sprinklers, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other 
devices/activities are to be treated by the neutraliser, a larger model MUST be selected to 
accommodate the higher flow/volume. Contact Puretec for assistance.
