INSTALLATION

SCALESWEEPER should be mounted on the pipe as close to water entry into the building, before the piping
branches off to supply the water heater and any cold water taps. This maximizes the effi ciency of SCALESWEEPER
to condition all of the water supplied into the building. The SCALESWEEPER should be mounted after any water
meter or grounding cable attached to the water piping system. Install the SCALESWEEPER at least ten feet from
any radio, television, or cordless telephone to eliminate any possible interference.
Mount the SCALESWEEPER onto the pipe by routing a wire tie supplied with equipment through the two holes
on each end of SCALESWEEPER housing base (refer to Figure 1). The unit may be mounted horizontally,
vertically, or diagonally to match the building piping orientation. The performance of the SCALESWEEPER is not
affected by unit mounting orientation. The SCALESWEEPER can be used effectively on any type of water pipe:
galvanized, copper, and/or plastic.
FIGURE 1
Wrap the red antennae wires around the water pipe protruding from each end of the SCALESWEEPER
(refer to Figure 2). The operation of the SCALESWEEPER and the antenna installation is not based on
direction of water fl ow, but one antenna MUST be wrapped in a clockwise direction and the other
wrapped in a counter-clockwise direction. For best results, fully wrap the right antenna clockwise (over
the top of the pipe fi rst), keeping the antenna wire tight against the pipe and the preceding coil. Secure
the end of the right antenna wire to the water pipe with a wire tie (refer to Figure 3). Wrap the left
antenna wire counter-clockwise (under the bottom of the pipe fi rst), keeping the antenna wire tight against
the pipe and the preceding coil. Secure the end of the left antenna wire to the water pipe with a wire tie.
