Locate Water conditioning equipment
correctLy:
1. Select the location of your water softener with care.
Various conditions which contribute to proper location
are as follows:
2. Locate as close as possible to water supply source.
3. Locate as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain.
4. Locate unit in correct relationship to other water
conditioning equipment, if required. (See Diagram A.)
5. Select location where floor is level. If floor is rough and/
or uneven, you can level by placing cabinet or tanks on
3/4” plywood, and shim to level as needed.
6. Locate the softener in the supply line BEFORE the water
heater. Temperatures above 100°F (38°C) will damage the
softener and void the factory warranty.
Install water conditioner in an area protected from
flooding, rain, direct sunlight, dust, snow and freez-
ing. The warranty does not cover damage incurred as a
result of exposure to the weather.
7. Allow sufficient space around the installation for easy
servicing.
8. Provide a non-switched 110/120V, 60Hz power source for
the control valve.
Typical basement installation uses overhead piping
with floor or wash tub drain outlet.
Typical first floor installation for utility room or breeze-
way, where floor drain exists.
