PREPARE SITE FOR INSTALLATION
1. Before starting, close the hot and cold water shutoff
valves (See Figure 6).
2. Temporarily place tank and filter assembly into
planned location. Check position of items and space
required for proper installation. Ensure tubes may
be routed without kinking.
3. Remove tank and filter from planned location and
set aside.
NOTE: You must check and comply with all local
plumbing codes.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require
installation by a licensed plumber and do not per-
mit the use of saddle valves.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review
plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts before proceeding with the installa-
tion.
NOTE: For best system performance, the feed
water to the system should be softened or have
hardness less than 10 grains per gallon, with no
iron.
