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 laun-
dry 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.
TION:
Before starting up system, check water softener drain line to insure that it will drain properly.
IF YOUR HOME IS NOT PRE-PLUMBED
If your home is not pre-plumbed for a water soft-
ener, then we recommend calling for profession-
al 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?
(see illustration below)
3. Where is a 110V outlet within 6 feet of the
softener?
Optional: Run a longer wire to most any 110V

determine what materials and tools will be needed for installation. You are now ready to move on to
Step 1 of the Installation Procedures.
