Pre-Installation Check List - Hellenbrand ProMate-6.0 Owner's Manual

(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
Water Pressure: A minimum of 30 pounds of water pressure
(psi) is required for regeneration. Maximum 125 psi.
Water Quality: On rural water supplies there is often a problem
with sand or sediment in the water. (This problem occasion-
ally occurs in public water supplies.) If the water is not filtered
before being treated, the sand and sediment may restrict flow
through the filter bed. This problem often requires rebedding
of the mineral tank. Note: Well and/or pump problems affecting
the operation of the filter are repairs that are not covered under
warranty. To prevent these unnecessary and expensive repairs
that are not covered under warranty, installation of an in-line filter
system ahead of a water filter is recommended when sand or
sediment issues are present.
Electrical: A continuous 110 volt 60 cycle current supply is
required. Make certain the current supply is uninterrupted and
cannot be turned off with another switch. All electrical connec-
tions must be connected per local codes. Surge protection is
recommended with all electric controls.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST

BYPASS VALVE OPERATION
Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing must be
free from lime and iron build-up. Piping that is built-up heavily
with lime and/or iron must be replaced. If piping is blocked with
iron, correct problem prior to installing the filter.
Drain Line: The filter should be located close to a drain. Avoid
overhead drain lines if possible to prevent back pressure.
Overhead drains are not to exceed 8 feet above the floor and
no more than 20 feet in length. The pipe size for the drain line
should be a minimum of 3/4". Backwash flow rates in excess
of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20' require 1" drain line.
Bypass Valves: Always provide for the installation of a bypass
valve.
Caution: Water temperature is not to exceed 110°F; the condi-
tioner cannot be subject to freezing conditions, or to a vacuum
due to loss of pressure (such as a water main break).
This water filter is not intended to be used for treating water
that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after treatment.
