IMPORTANT NOTE IMPORTANT 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
high and low system pressure. Record your water pressure data below:
WATER PRESSURE
Low__________psi High__________psi
CAUTION 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.
2) The pumping rate of your well pump must be suffi cient for satisfactory backwash. Refer to Section 6, Page 6-1 for the backwashing requirements. To measure
the pumping rate of your pump, follow these instructions:
a) Make certain no water is being drawn. Open spigot nearest pressure tank. When pump starts, close spigot and measure time (in seconds) to refi ll
pressure tank (when pump shuts off). This fi gure represents CYCLE TIME
b) With the pressure tank full, draw water into a container of known volume, measure the number of gallons drawn until the pump starts again. This is
DRAW-DOWN. Divide this fi gure by CYCLE TIME and multiply by 60 to arrive at the PUMPING RATE in gallons per minute (gpm). To aid in your calcula-
tion, insert the data in the following formula:
DRAW-DOWN ______ ÷ CYCLE TIME ______ x 60 = PUMPING RATE ______
(gals.) (secs.) (gpm)
EXAMPLE: CYCLE TIME is 63 secs.; DRAWDOWN is 8 gals.; then PUMPING RATE equals:
8 gals. ÷ 63 secs. x 60 = 7.6 gpm
Installation Site Selection:
Select the location of your fi lter 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 3-1).
4) Locate the fi lter system in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above 110°F (43.3°C) will damage the system and void the
factory warranty.
5) DO NOT install the media tank in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may 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).
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
