INSTALLATION
1 . The distance between the drain and the water conditioner should be as short as possible . (See Step 8)
2 . It is not recommended to install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a
water heater .
3 . Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and overflow lines) will ever be subjected to room
temperatures under 33°F .
4 . Do not subject the tank to any vacuum, as this may cause an “implosion” and could result in leaking . If there is a possibility a
vacuum could occur, please make provision for a vacuum breaker in the installation .
5 . Installation of a 5 micron pre-filter is recommended before the UF Filter . This will ensure that larger particles will not
prematurely foul the membrane .
6 .
INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING:
Be sure to install Bypass Valve onto main control valve before beginning plumbing . Make
provisions to bypass outside hydrants and other untreated fixtures are plumbed properly . Install an inlet shutoff valve and
plumb to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the unit . There are a variety of installation fittings
available . They are listed under the Installation Fitting Assemblies section . When assembling the installation fitting package
(inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and “O” Ring . Heat from
soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or “O” Ring . Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements
should be set before installing the nut, split ring and “O” Ring . Avoid getting solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any
part of the “O” Rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve . If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing,
install a copper grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe . Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable
local codes .
7 .
INSTALLING GROUND:
To maintain an electrical ground in metal plumbing of a home’s
cold water piping (such as a copper plumbing system), install a ground clamp or jumper
wiring .
(See drawing to the right.)
8 .
CONTROL VALVE DRAIN LINE:
First, be sure that the drain can handle the backwash
rate of the system . Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain
line flow control fitting . Leave at least 6” between the drain line flow control fitting and
solder joints . Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the flow control . Install a 1/2”
I .D . flexible plastic tube to the Drain Line Assembly or discard the tubing nut and use the
3/4” NPT fitting for rigid pipe (recommended) .
If the backwash rate is greater than
5.3 gpm, use a 3/4” rigid drain line.
Where the drain line is elevated but empties
into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7” loop at the discharge end of the
line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain connection on the control valve . This
will provide an adequate anti-siphon trap . Piping the drain line overhead <10 ft is normally not a problem . Be sure adequate
pressure is available (40-60 psi is recommended) . Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must
be used . Run drain tube to its discharge point in accordance with plumbing codes . Pay special attention to codes for air gaps
and anti-siphon devices .
NOTE:
Drain line nut will not be supplied for units having a backwash rate greater than 7 gpm .
9 .
BOTTOM OF TANK DRAIN CONNECTION:
At the bottom of the tank is a 1” male threaded
connection fitting . This connection should be fitted with a ball valve .
IMPORTANT
– the 1” connection
is wide open and will require a ball valve . A drain line should then be run to the nearest drain location .
The ball valve is in the closed position and opened manually to periodically blow the tank down of
debris . This should be done manually at least once per month or if a pressure drop is noticed across the
system .
NOTE:
The manufacturer does not include the ball valve or drain line – this needs to be supplied and
installed by the dealer or installer .
