The installer is responsible for the power supply to the unit.
The steel frame is designed to distribute the operating weight on an even floor space. If the floor is uneven, grout beneath
the steel frame feet so that the unit is evenly supported. Secure the base of the frame with four (4) 5/16” diameter bolts.
NOTICE
Do NOT use any bolt size smaller than 5/16" diameter.
The unit must be located near a drain able to handle 3.5 gallons per minute (13 liters/min). This is in addition to the flow
from any other water treatment equipment.
CAUTION! The system must not be located near any corrosive chemicals which may cause failure
of the plastic or metal parts of the unit. In addition, do not locate the unit where the tem-
perature may exceed the feed water temperature limits.
A 230 VAC/60 Hz/single-phase grounded power supply with 15 Amp fuse protection and a local disconnect switch is
required.
WARNING! The system must be grounded. An improperly grounded unit could cause injury from
electrical shock!
