PROPER INSTALLATION

■

Install or store where it will not

be exposed to temperatures
below freezing or exposed to
any type of weather. Water
freezing in the system will
break it. Do not attempt to
treat water over 100°F.

■

Do not

install in direct sunlight.

Excessive sun heat may cause
distortion or other damage to
non-metallic parts.

■

Properly ground to conform

with all governing codes and
ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.

■

Use only

lead-free solder

and flux

for all sweat-solder

connections, as required
by state and federal codes.

■

The water softening system

requires a minimum water flow
of three gallons per minute at
the inlet. Maximum allowable
inlet water pressure is 125 psi.
If daytime pressure is over 80
psi, night time pressure may
exceed the maximum. Use
a pressure reducing valve if
necessary. (Adding a pressure
reducing valve may reduce
the flow.)

WARNING:

Discard all

unused and packaging
material after installation.
