FACTS TO REMEMBER WHEN PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
1. All installation procedures must conform to local and state plumbing codes.
2. All water must pass through the hydro-charger, pressure tank and the filter, or refer to the special instructions for a
split-stream installation (System may malfunction if this instruction is ignored.)
3. If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated
by the filter, a larger model filter must be selected to accommodate the higher flow rate demands of these items. The
pumping rate of the well pump must be sufficient to accommodate these items plus the backwashing requirement of
the filter. Consult your dealer for alternative instructions if the pumping rate is insufficient.
4. Remember that the filter inlet is attached to the pipe that supplies water (i.e., runs to the pump) and the outlet is the
line that runs toward the water heater.
5. Before commencing the installation it is advisable to study the existing piping system and to determine the size, num-
ber and type of fittings required. Typical system schematics shown in these instructions (Figs. 1, 2 or 3) will be of
assistance. NOTE: If the plumbing system is used as the ground leg of the electric supply, continuity should be main-
tained by installing ground straps around any non conductive plastic piping used in installation.
