GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The control valve and
fi
ttings are not designed to support the
weight of the system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray
silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black
o-rings but is not necessary.
HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE,
GASOLINE, ETC., MAY DAMAGE PRODUCTS THAT
CONTAIN O-RINGS OR PLASTIC COMPONENTS. EXPOSURE TO SUCH HYDROCARBONS MAY CAUSE THE
PRODUCTS TO LEAK. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT(S) CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT ON WATER SUPPLIES
THAT CONTAIN HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE, GASOLINE, ETC.
CLACK WATER METERS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE PRIMARY MONITORING DEVICE FOR CRITICAL OR
HEALTH EFFECT APPLICATIONS
Te
fl
on tape is recommended to be used on all threads. Do not use pipe dope, as it may break down the plastics in the control valve.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
1. The plug in Power Adapter is for dry locations only, and should be connected to an uninterrupted outlet installed within 15 feet
(4.57 meters) of the water conditioner. If the Power Adapter cord has not yet been connected to the control valve, remove the
control valve cover and the drive bracket, and thread the Power Adapter cord through the hole in the back plate. Reinstall the
drive bracket. Weave the cord through the hooks on the right hand side of the drive bracket and connect the end to the four-prong
connector on the printed circuit board. Replace the cover, and plug the Power Adapter into an uninterrupted outlet.
2. The tanks should be on a
fi
rm, level surface.
3. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes.
4. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and over
fl
ow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures
below 40° F (4° C).
5. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Connect to a supply line downstream of outdoor spigots. Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb
to the unit’s inlet. Installation of a bypass valve is recommended. If using plastic
fi
ttings, ground the water conditioner per local
electrical codes. Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water
heater. If a water meter is used, install the water meter on the outlet side of the control valve. The turbine assembly may be
oriented in any direction, but is usually oriented pointing up to reduce drainage out of the pipe during service.
6. Locate the water conditioner so the distance between the drain and the water conditioner is as short as possible. All units are
shipped without a drain line
fl
ow control washer. Correctly size the drain line and install an appropriately sized drain line
fl
ow
control. 1.5” valves are shipped with a ¾”
fi
tting that can be used with the drain line
fl
ow controls up to 10 gpm, or an optional
1”
fi
tting can be purchases to be used with drain line
fl
ow controls up to 25 gpm. For higher backwash rates, the adapter can be
removed and the 1 ¼” NPT threaded drain outlet can be used. For 2” valves the drain outlet is 1.5” NPT threads. Solder joints
near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line
fl
ow control
fi
tting. Leave at least 6” (152.4mm) between the drain
line
fl
ow control
fi
tting and the solder joints to prevent heat from damaging the
fl
ow control. Avoid elevating the drain line above
the control valve where possible. Discharge the drain line through an air gap to a receptacle in accordance with local plumbing
codes.
IMPORTANT: Never insert a drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or trap. Always allow and air gap between the drain line
and the receptacle to prevent back siphonage.
