Cautions And Requirements For Installing
810 Commercial Water System
Pre Installation
Instructions
All installations are to be done in accordance with any local codes.
LifeSource Water Systems are attached to the main water line
going into the building.
The pipe connection is made after the pressure regulator, if present, and after the
sprinkler supply line. Attaching irrigation or sprinkler lines to the LifeSource Water
System is not recommended. Make sure facility water is on the main line.
(Some kitchen cold water lines have been plumbed separately if previously
plumbed for soft water.)
CHECK WATER PRESSURE:
The system is rated for l00psi. Water pressure measuring
80psi during the day may surge to over l00psi at night when self-cleaning occurs.
If daytime water pressure on main line is above 80 psi, a pressure regulator
[See Figure 1]
is required.
Both tanks come with a 1” connected bypass.
Arrows on top of the bypass valve indicate
the incoming and outgoing water flow.
All systems have a rinse drain line with a restrictive washer determining the g.p.m. (gallon per
minute) flow rate.
The 1620 Series systems require either a ½” O.D. (outside diameter)
flexible tubing clamp in place or ½” PVC pipe.
REMOVE OR CHANGE ANY EXISTING FILTERS
on the refrigerator water line, beneath the
sink and on any other water lines in the building. Any such filters, if retained, should
be routinely changed per manufacturers’ recommendations.
A suitable outlet to drain the rinse water must be made available for filter.
That outlet can
either be a ground location that has a sufficient percolation, a driveway or a drain.
DO NOT CONNECT THE FILTER RINSE LINE TO AN AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN LINE.
An air gap must be used in connecting to a drain line to prevent possible back
siphoning into the tank
(see Air Gap Illustration Figure 4).
Filters delivered without the valve head installed:
PRE-FILL the tank with water after the
tank has been placed at the installation site. This will allow the water to assimilate
into the carbon and any air to escape prior to operation.
*If the system was delivered
with the valve head pre-installed on the tank, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE VALVE HEAD.
The ScaleSolver unit operates in the UPFLOW mode which is opposite of a
conventional softener.
Both the inlet and outlets are clearly marked on tank.
This system requires a full bypass
to allow for a service flow to be routed around the
system as needed for servicing.
[See Figures 2 & 3]
Copper and other metals must not be above EPA standards for municipal water.
