Check Your Pumping Rate and Water Pressure:
Two water system conditions must be checked carefully to avoid unsatisfactory operation or equipment damage:
1) MINIMUM water pressure required at the water inlet is 20 psi (138 kPa). IF WATER PRESSURE IS OVER 80 psi (552 kPa), A PRESSURE REDUCING
VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE WATER SUPPLY LINE AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact
a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
NOTE: If you have a municipal or a community water supply and daytime water pressure is 80 psi (552 kpa) or more, nighttime pressure may
exceed 125 psi (862 kPa). Call your local water department or plant operator to obtain pressure readings. If you have a private well, the gauge
on the pressure tank will indicate the high and low system pressure. Record your water pressure data below:
Water Pressure:
Low psi High psi
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum prevention.
The installer should take appropriate measures if there is the possibility a vacuum may occur. This would include the installation of an appropri-
ate device in the supply line to the system, i.e., a vacuum breaker or backfl ow prevention device. Vacuum damage voids the factory warranty.
2) The pumping rate of your well must be suffi cient for satisfactory operation and BACKWASHING of the system. (See EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION
AND OPERATING DATA, Section 5)
Locate Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly:
Select the location of your arsenic reduction system with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:
1) Locate as close as possible to water supply source.
2) Locate as close as possible to a drain.
3) Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment (Figure 1, page 2-1).
4) Locate the arsenic reduction system in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above 110°F (43.3°C) will damage the arsenic
reduction system and void the factory warranty.
5) DO NOT install the arsenic reduction system in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing will cause permanent damage and will
also void the factory warranty.
6) Allow suffi cient space around the installation for easy servicing.
7) Provide a non-switched 110V, 60Hz (220V, 50Hz for specifi ed systems) power source for the control valve.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Protect from freezing, relieve pressure and drain system when temperatures are expected to drop below 33°F (0.6°C).
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this fi lter system is 110°F (43.3°C).
