Location Selection
Location of a water conditioning system is important. The
following conditions are required:
• Level platform or floor.
Note: The Pro Elite System can be provided with optional
leveling feet that may be used on the two tanks. Order
part number 4000409.
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and
adding regenerant (salt) to tank.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C and below
120°F (49°C).
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8.62 bar) and above
20 psi (1.38 bar).
• In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi
(6.89 bar).
• Constant electrical supply to operate the control.
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet
(three meters) to prevent backup of hot water into
system.
• Local drain for discharge as close as possible.
• Water line connections with shutoff or bypass
valves.
• Must meet any local and state codes for site of
installation.
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments.
Do not support weight of system on the plumbing.
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before
attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.
WARNING: Dry location use only, unless
used with a Listed Class 2 Power Supply
suitable for outdoor use.
Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the Pro Elite conditioner be
installed in a protected environment.
When installing the water conditioning system outdoors,
several items must be considered:
• Moisture – The valve and control are rated for
NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not affect
performance. The system is not designed to
withstand extreme humidity or water spray from
below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near
corrosive environment, or upwards spray from
sprinkler. Ensure that the Analyzer probe access
panel is installed on the unit.
• Direct Sunlight – The materials used will fade or
discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity
of the materials will not degrade to cause system
failures.
• Temperature – Extreme hot or cold temperatures
will cause damage to the valve or control. Freezing
temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This
will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing and conditioning resin. High
temperatures will affect the control. The display may
become unreadable but the control should continue
to function. When the temperature returns to
normal operating limits, the display will re-appear. A
protective cover should assist with high temperature
applications.
• Insects – The control and valve have been designed
to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical
areas. Any holes in the top plate can be covered with
duct tape. The top cover should be installed securely
in place.
