•
All plumbing and electrical work should be performed by an accredited professional to ensure all
local, state, and municipal guidelines are met.
•
An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Please make sure voltage supply is
compatible with unit before installation.
•
Conditions of existing plumbing should not be clogged with lime or iron build-up. Replace piping
that has heavy lime and/or iron build-up. If there is an iron concern, install an iron filter unit
ahead of the water softener. Plumbing that has heavy lime and iron buildup inhibits the
operation of softening system.
•
When there is moderate to high turbidity, a filter should be installed on the inlet before the
water softening system.
•
If the water pressure exceeds 120psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed before the
water inlet. If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi, installing a pressure reducing valve before the
water inlet is highly recommended. If the water pressure is under 25psi, a booster pump must
be installed before the water inlet.
•
Ensure there is salt in the brine tank at all times when this valve is used for softening. The brine
tank should contain clean water and softening salt only, at least 99.5% pure. Do not use small
grain salt.
•
Always install a bypass valve.
•
Replacement parts for the valve should only be purchased through Hankscraft Runxin resellers.
•
Regular interval monitoring of the water quality and work environment is recommended to
insure proper operation of the valve and system.
