•
A minimum of 25 psi of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate
effectively.
•
It is established that when daytime water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), the water
pressure risks exceeding the softener’s maximum pressure rating of 125 psi (8.6 bar). A
pressure regulator must be installed on this system to avoid pressures over 100 psi or
warranty is voided.
•
If suspended solids are present in the water, install a prefiltration system in the water
supply line.
•
A continuous 115 Volt, 60 Hertz current supply is required. Make certain the current
supply is always energized and cannot be turned off with another switch.
•
Condition of existing plumbing should be free from hardness scale and iron buildup.
Piping that is built up heavily with hardness scale and/or iron should be replaced If piping
is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit should be installed ahead of the water
softener.
•
Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve.
•
Do not install the system where it would block access to the water heater, main water
shutoff, water meter, or electrical panels.
•
Install the system in a place where water damage is least likely to occur if a leak
develops.
•
If risk of vacuum exists, install Lync vacuum relief valve (part number: 123318) in the
supply line to protect the system against vacuum damage.
NOTES:
It is required to install a water sample port before and after the water softener system to
monitor system’s performance. Make sure water sample ports are closed during installation
and operation.
If lubricant is required, a silicone compound is strongly recommended. Dow Corning®
Silicone Compound (available from Watts), is recommended for best possible results.
Dow Corning® 7 Release Compound is used in the manufacture of this control valve. The
use of other types of lubricants may attack the
control’s plastic or rubber components.
Petroleum-based lubricants can cause swelling in rubber parts, including O-rings and
seals.
WARNINGS!
Do not exceed water pressure of 125psi (8.5 bar).
Do not exceed water temperature of 110°F (43°C).
Do not subject unit to freezing conditions.
