Locate Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly
Select the location of your filter tank with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:
1. Locate as close as possible to the water supply source.
2. Locate as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain.
3. Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment (see Fig. 1, Page 4).
4. Filters and softeners should be located in the supply line before the water heater. Temperature above 120°F damage filters
5. Do not install a filter or softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage to this
type of equipment and will void the factory warranty.
6. Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing.
Facts to Remember When Planning Your Installation
1. All installation procedures must conform to local and state plumbing codes.
2. If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities is 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 backwash requirement of the filter. Consult your dealer for
alternative instructions if the pumping rate is insufficient.
3. 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.
4. Before commencing installation, it is advisable to study the existing piping system and determine the size, number and type of
fittings required. Typical system schematics shown in these instructions (Fig. 1, 2, or 3, Page 5), will be of assistance
NOTE: if the plumbing system is used as the ground leg of the electric supply, continuity should be maintained by installing ground
straps around any non-conductive plastic piping used in installation.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE SECURE THE DRAIN LINE PIPE DURING REGENERATION. THE AIR IN THE TANK WILL ESCAPE
THROUGH THE DRAIN LINE OF THE CONTROL VALVE.
Section 3: Installation
Proper installation sequence of water conditioning equipment is very important. Refer to the diagrams following for your particular water
supply.
NOTE: Install the supplied check valve before the inlet of the valve.
NOTE: Before starting installation, read Section 5, Plumbing System Clean-Up, for instructions on some procedures that may need to
