SELECT INSTALLATION LOCATION
Consider all of the following when selecting an installation location for the filter selected.
D
To filter all water in the home, install the filter close to the water supply inlet. To conserve filtered water,
outside faucets should remain on raw water.
D
If other water conditioning equipment is installed, locate as shown in Figure 3.
D
A nearby drain is needed to carry away recharge discharge water. A standpipe is preferred, with a laundry
tub, floor drain, etc., as other options (check your local codes).
D
The filter works on 24 volts only. A transformer is included (FOR INDOOR USE) to reduce 120V, 60 Hz
house electrical power. Provide an approved, grounded outlet, in a dry location near the filter. The filter
includes a power cable for connection between the transformer and the timer.
D
Position the filter at least 6” from surrounding walls, or other appliances, to allow access for servicing.
D
If installing the filter in an outside location, be sure to provide protection from the elements, contamination,
vandalism, and sunlight heat. The sun’s heat can melt plastic parts.
