GENERAL INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
If your hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid damage to the element in the tank.
2.
If you have a private well, turn the power off to the pump and then shut off the main wa-ter shut off valve. If you have municipal water, simply
shut off the main valve. Go to the faucet, (preferably on the lowest floor of the house) turn on the cold water until all pres-sure is relieved and
the flow of water stops.
3.
Locate the softener tank and brine tank close to a drain where the system will be in-stalled. The surface should be clean and level.
4.
Connect the inlet and outlet of the softener using appropriate fittings. Perform all plumb-ing according to local plumbing codes.
Use a ½” minimum pipe or tubing size for the drain line
ON COPPER PLUMBING SYSTEMS BE SURE TO INSTALL A GROUNDING WIRE BETWEEN THE INLET AND OUTLET PIPING TO
MAINTAIN GROUND-ING.
Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm) between the valve and
joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve.
Installation Instructions
5.
Connect the drain hose to the valve and secure it with a hose clamp (also included). Run the drain hose to the nearest laundry tub or drain pipe
This can be ran up overhead or down along the floor. If running the drain line more than 20 ft overhead, it is recom-mended to increase the
hose size to 3/4”. NEVER MAKE A DIRECT CONNECTION INTO A WASTE DRAIN. A PHYSICAL AIR GAP OF AT LEAST 1.5” SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID
BACTERIA AND WASTEWATER TRAVELLING BACK THROUGH THE DRAIN LINE INTO THE SOFTENER.
TYPICAL SOFTENER LOCATION
You must first decide how to run in and out pipes to the softener. Look at the house main water pipe at the point where you will connect the
softener. Is the pipe soldered copper, glued plastic, PEX, or threaded brass/galvanized? What is the pipe size?
Now look at the typical installation illustrations below. Use it as a guide when planning your particular installation. Make sure you have correctly
identified the inlet of the system.
Be sure to direct raw, hard water to the softener valve inlet fitting
. The bypass valve is marked IN and
OUT arrows.
