Installation Instructions
1. Safety Precautions
• To prevent an accident and/or injury, do not hoist the unit over
your shoulder. Use a hand truck to transport the unit.
• Do not lay the unit on its side.
• Wear safety glasses and work gloves during installation
2. Test the Raw Water
• If water contains iron, manganese or hydrogen sulfide, a seperate
iron removal system is suggested to be installed prior to the
conditioner, consulting with your local dealer.
3. Check the Water Pressure
• Use a pressure gauge to confirm that the water pressure does not
exceed 120 psi. If the water pressure does exceed this limit, install a
pressure regulator on the inlet pipe of the unit. The minimum water
pressure for a conditioner is 20 psi. 60 psi is the optimum operating
pressure.
4. Locate a Site for the System
• There are three primary requirements needed for a site: the main
water source, an air-gap drain and a grounded electrical connection.
Locate the system as close to these items as practical. Drain lines over
50 feet long, may need to be increased in size to allow proper flow.
• Place the system in the desired location. The location should have a
level, smooth, and clean surface.
• If the system is located outdoors, protect the unit from direct
sunlight. Direct sunlight can damage the fiberglass and other system
components. If necessary, build a box or shed. In some installation
environments you may choose to partially bury the system. This is
done primarily for aesthetics, however this will add stability to the
system as well.
• We do recommend all systems installed outdoors include the valve
weather cover.
5. Install the Valve Head
• Remove the cap plug from the tank.
• Lubricate the riser pipe O-ring and tank O-ring with the Dow 111
silicone-based lubricant or equivalent.
• Attach the supplied upper basket to the bottom of the control
valve; twist to lock in place. Do not use if water contains any amount
of iron.
• Align the upper basket with the riser pipe and slowly lower the
control valve onto the riser pipe, using a twisting motion.
• Align the control valve with the tank. Push down on the control
valve and continue to turn it clockwise until the valve O-ring seals
against the tank (see figure 1).
Helpful Tip: The drain may be a
floor drain, a sewer trap, utility
sink, vent stack, dry well, etc.,
depending on local plumbing
codes.
!
Important Note: The system
can only be installed outdoors
in climates that do not reach
freezing levels.
!
Important Note: Do not over-
tighten the valve to the tank.
!
Important Note (For
Massachusetts Residents
Only) The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Code
248 CMR shall be adhered to. A
licensed plumber shall be used
for this installation.
!
Important Note: Water pressure
often spikes higher at night. We
recommend adding a pressure
regulator if your daytime
pressure reading is higher than
80 PSI.
