Warning;
Always connect a ground wire; an improperly grounded Water
Softener could cause injury from electrical shock.
Drain Requirements;
The Water Softener has an open free flowing drain capable of
carrying the maximum drain flow rate may be used. This may take
the form of a floor drain, utility sink or stand pipe. The Water Softener
requires a back flow preventor, required by code and should be
provided to prevent back-siphoning of drain line.
Space Requirements;
Along with the availability of draining and electrical connections, the
physical location of the Water Softener must be considered. Two feet
clearance above the Water Softener is recommended for service
access and for filling the Water Softener brine tank. The floor must
be level and smooth and free of foreign object to prevent uneven
stresses which might cause puncturing or cracking of the Water
Softener brine tank. If necessary, the brine tank should be placed on
a separate platform to compensate for a rough floor surface.
Water Softening Salt;
The Water Softener is equipped with a brine tank for dissolving rock
salt. Any good grade of Water Softener sale including pellets or solar
Water Softener salt may be used.
