Place the filter tank as close as possible to
the pressure tank (well system) or water
meter (city water).
Place the filter tank as close as possible to
a floor drain, or other acceptable drain
point (laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc.).
Connect the filter to the main water supply
pipe BEFORE the water heater.
DO NOT
RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE FIL-
TER
. Temperature of water passing
through the filter must be less than 100
deg. F.
Do not install the filter in a place where it
could freeze.
Damage caused by freezing
is not covered by the warranty.
Put the filter in a place water damage is
least likely to occur if a leak develops.
The
manufacturer will not repair or pay for
water damage.
A 120 volt electric outlet, to plug the includ-
ed transformer into, is needed within 6 feet
of the filter. The transformer has an at-
tached 6 foot power cable.
Be sure the
electric outlet and transformer are in an
inside location, to protect from wet
weather.
If installing in an outside location, the nec-
essary steps must be taken to assure the
filter, installation plumbing, wiring, etc., are
as well protected from the elements, con-
tamination, vandalism, etc., as when in-
stalled indoors.
Keep the filter out of direct sunlight
.
The sun’s heat may soften and distort
plastic parts.
Where To Install The Filter
Proper Installation
This water filter system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
Do not
install or store the filter where it
will be exposed to temperatures below
freezing or exposed to any type of weath-
er. Water freezing in the system will break
it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°
F.
Do not
install in direct sunlight. Exces-
sive sun or heat may cause distortion or
other damage to non-metallic parts.
Properly ground to conform with all gov-
erning codes and ordinances.
Use only
lead-free solder and flux
for all
sweat-solder connections, as required by
state and federal codes.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is
125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi,
night time pressure may exceed the maxi-
mum. Use a pressure reducing valve to
reduce the pressure if necessary.
WARNING:
Discard all unused parts
and packaging material after installation.
Small parts remaining after the installation
could be a choke hazard.
