• As with all plumbing projects, it is recommended that a trained
professional water treatment dealer or contractor install the
water conditioning system. Please follow all local plumbing
codes for installing this water conditioning system.
• Inspect the water conditioning system for carrier shortage or
shipping damage before beginning installation. Replace any
damaged component immediately, before beginning installation.
• Use caution when installing soldered metal piping near the
water conditioning system. Heat can adversely affect the
system’s components.
• Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder connections,
as required by state, province and federal codes.
• Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop,
drag or turn components upside down.
• Be sure the floor under the system is clean, level and strong
enough to support the system while in operation.
• Install the system in a protected area.
• Do not attempt to treat water over 110°F (43°C) or under 34°F
(1°C) with the system.
• Always connect the system to the main water supply pipe
before the water heater.
• Do not install in direct sunlight as overheating of electronics may
occur and ultraviolet rays from the sun may cause damage.
• Do not use on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality. This system will not make microbiologically
unsafe water safe. Water that is unsafe must be treated
separately from this conditioner.
• Operating ambient temperature: 34° to 100°F (1° to 43°C).
• Operating water pressure range : 25 to 125psi (171 kPa
to 8.6 bar).
• All plumbing connections to the system should be made using
industry accepted best practices. Plumbing tape or paste may
be used on metal inlet and outlet plumbing connections. Do
not use paste type pipe thread sealants on the system’s plastic
plumbing connections.
• Do not use petroleum-based lubricants such as Vaseline, oils
or hydrocarbon-based lubricants on O-rings or valve seals. Use
only 100% silicone lubricants.
• Use only the power transformer supplied with this water
conditioning system.
• All electrical connections must be completed according to
local codes.
• The power outlet must be grounded.
• For installations where plastic plumbing is used, install an
appropriate grounding strap across the inlet and outlet piping
of the building’s metal plumbing to ensure that a proper ground
is maintained.
• To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its power
source.
• Observe drain line requirements.
• Support the full weight of the plumbing system with pipe
hangers or other means.
• Do not allow this water conditioning system to freeze. Damage
from freezing will void this water conditioning system’s warranty.
• It is established that when daytime water pressure exceeds
80psi (5.5 bar), the maximum pressure rating of 125psi (8.6
bar) can be exceeded. A pressure regulator must be installed
on this system or warranty is voided.
• Periodic cleaning and maintenance is required for system to
function properly.
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn upside
down or drop. Turning the tank upside down or laying the tank
on its side can cause media to enter the valve.
• Use only regenerants designed for water conditioning. Do not
use ice melting salt, block salt or rock salt.
