BEFORE INSTALLATION
All government codes and regulations governing the installation of these devices must be observed.
Check your water hardness.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER OR ACCESSING ANY
INTERNAL CONTROL PARTS.
CAUTION! The unit should be depressurized before installing or replacing media.
METAL PIPES - GROUNDING NOTE:
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the
copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved
grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity. The length of
the grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed and/or the amount of copper pipe being
replaced with plastic pipe.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve or by
physical separation, an approved ground clamp with no less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity, to
maintain proper metallic pipe bonding.
CAUTION:
If the plumbing system is used as the ground leg of the electric supply, continuity should be
maintained by installing ground straps around any non-conductive plastic piping used in installation. Check your
local electrical code for the correct clamp.
WATER CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION
The water should be free of hydrogen sulphide, a dissolved gas with a characteristic smell of rotten
eggs. If present, it can coat the catalytic surface of the media and interfere with the process. The gas
should be removed through adequate pre-treatment.
The water should be free of hydrocarbons, oils, and lubricants. If present, they can coat the catalytic
surface of the media and interfere with the process. Remove through adequate pre-treatment.
The water should contain less than 1 mg/l of phosphates. Phosphates sequester dissolved hardness
molecules preventing them from forming crystals and may coat the catalytic media surface and
interfere with the process.
The copper level in the water supply should be below the MCL of 1.3mg/L. If copper is present above
this level, it can attach to the surface of the catalytic media and interfere with the process.
LOCATE WATER CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT CORRECTLY
