Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
G.
For most installations, install the appliance after the pressure tank and any water filter
appliance or water meter and before the water heater unless otherwise recommended.
Contact the HelpLine for further assistance in determining the proper installation sequence.
Water Heaters:
If less than 10 feet (3.0 m) of pipe connects the water treatment
appliance(s) to the water heater, install a check valve between the water treatment
appliance and the water heater as close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the
water heater has an adequately rated temperature and pressure safety relief valve.
H.
For outside installations, the appliance should be enclosed so it is protected from the
weather.

Test Your Water

Note:
See
Optional Plumbing Procedures
for
information on copper fittings and joining plastic pipe.
A.
Lift and remove the cabinet cover.
B.
Install Qest fittings. Qest connection fittings are
provided with your appliance. Qest fittings provide a
convenient, easy-to-use three-piece assembly for
3/4-inch copper plumbing or 3/4-inch CTS CPVC
plastic tubing. Ensure that the three components
(1: collar, 2: metal retaining ring, and 3: nylon
sleeve) are correctly installed in sequence on the
pipe. (See Figure 2.)
Note:
Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty with
Qest fittings. They are not necessary.
C.
Attach the water lines to the appliance in compliance
with all state and local, building, plumbing, and
electrical codes. (See Figure 3.) Do NOT overtighten
the connections on the plastic threads.
D.
Check the arrows on the valve to ensure that the
water flows in the proper direction.
Caution:
Do NOT plumb your appliance in
backward.
