LOCATION
REQUIREMENTS
Consider the following when selecting an installation loca-
tion for the Central Water Whole Home Filtration System.
• Do not operate the Central Water Whole Home
Filtration System where freezing temperatures occur.
Do not attempt to treat water over 120°F. Freezing
temperatures or hot water damage voids the warranty.
• To condition all water in the home, install the Central
Water Whole Home Filtration System close to the
water supply inlet, and before all other plumbing con-
nections, except outside water pipes.
• A nearby drain is needed to carry away Clean Rinse
discharge water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub, sump,
standpipe, or other options (check your local codes).
See "Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve Drain
Requirements"
sections.
If a drain is not available, it is
still possible to operate the Central Water Whole Home
Filtration System in a manual Clean Rinse mode. See
"Operating in Manual Clean Rinse Mode." The auto-
matic Clean Rinse must be disabled if the Central
Water Whole Home Filtration System will not be con-
nected to a drain (See Page 16).
• The Central Water Whole Home Filtration System
works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied
by a direct plug-in transformer (included).
Provide an
electrical outlet in accordance with NEC and local
codes.
• Do not install the Central Water Whole Home Filtration
System on a hot water line (See Figure 2 below).
• Install the Central Water Whole Home Filtration
System between the home's incoming water supply
and the water softener, if one is being used (See
Figure 2).
