EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

GENERAL
• Observe all warnings that appear in this
manual.
• Keep the unit in the upright position. Do not
turn on side, upside down, or drop. Turning
the tank upside down will cause media to
enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between
34°F (1°C) and 120°F (49°C).
• Operating water temperature is between
35°F (1°F) and 100°F (38°C).
• Working water pressure range is 20 to
125 psi (1.38 to 8.61 bar). In Canada the
acceptable working water pressure range is
20 to 100 psi (1.38 to 6.89 bar).
• Use only salts designed for water softening.
Acceptable salt type is sodium chloride,
pellet salt.

INSTALLATION INSPECTION

IS YOUR HOME PRE-PLUMBED?
Your home is pre-plumbed for a water softener/conditioner if you have a loop in the garage or
laundry room. Typically, there will be 110 volt outlet within 6 feet of the loop and a ½" drain line
stubbed out of the wall. If your home is pre-plumbed, skip now to Step 1 of Installation Procedures.
CAUTION: Before starting up system, check water softener drain line to ensure that it will
drain properly.
IF YOUR HOME IS NOT PRE-PLUMBED
If your home is not pre-plumbed for a water
softener, then we recommend calling for
professional installation. If you are attempting to
install the system yourself, you must determine
where to locate the water softening/conditioning
system.
The best location depends on several questions:
1. How will you get the water from the water
main to the water softener/conditioner?
2. Where will you run the drain line/waste
tube?
3. Where is a 110V outlet within 6 feet of the
softener? Optional: Run a longer wire to
most any 110V outlet.
Determine the location of your water softener/conditioner, taking into account the above factors, and
determine what materials and tools will be needed for installation. You are now ready to move on to
Step 1 of the Installation Procedures.

• Follow state and local codes for water
testing. Do not use water that is micro
biologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
• When filling media tank, do not open water
valve completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent
media from exiting the tank.
• When installing the water connection
(bypass or manifold) connect to the
plumbing system first. Allow heated parts
to cool and cemented parts to set before
installing any plastic parts. Do not get
primer or solvent on O-rings, nuts, or the
valve.

your outside hose bibs, pool fillers or
irrigation system?
