Make certain to follow each step carefully to insure that the filter runs trouble free. Also, be sure all plumbing practices
conform to local plumbing codes.
Locate Filter
1.
Check inside the tank to make sure that all of the plastic distributors and laterals (Figure 9) are tight.
CAUTION!
Do Not Proceed if any distributors or laterals are broken.
Consult Culligan for assistance. If any are loose, hand
tighten only. Do not use a wrench.
2.
If the tank drain valve option kit was purchased, install it at this time.
3.
Select a position near a floor drain that has adequate carrying capacity to han-
dle the filter's backwash flow rate. Refer to section,
on page 2
for specific backwash flow rate.
4.
Erect the resin tank on a level firm foundation, preferably concrete. The valve
and piping normally face the front for easy access.
5.
Level the system.
Install Piping
1.
Depending on the type of filter system (i.e. single, twin, etc.) and installation parameters, required pipe lengths
and piping accessories will vary. Sample layout drawings
provided to aid the installation. If the layout drawings are not sufficient for your application, consult the equip-
ment provider for specific installation guidelines.
The use of unions on the inlet and outlet isolation valves is recommended to
facilitate service of the softener unit. It is recommended that a full flow by-pass
line be provided.
NOTE
All pipe fittings and assemblies should follow good plumbing practices
for installation.
They are:
• Check the threads and make certain that they are clean and free of foreign
matter.
• Fittings must be free of cracks or chips.
• Prepare threads with either a pipe dope sealant or Teflon tape.
• Make certain that the fittings are not cross threaded during the assembly
process.
• Do not over-tighten fitting or threaded pipe being inserted into a cast or
forged part.
CAUTION!
Never connect two dissimilar metals (such as copper pipe and aluminum valves) togeth-
er when plumbing the vale to the piping system. The use of unions (dielectric unions
if piping to cast iron valves) on copper or galvanized steel pipe followed by schedule
80PVC or CPVC short nipples to attach the piping to the control valve is strongly recom-
mended to reduce the potential of corrosion by galvanic reaction.
2.
Pipe a drain line from the backwash flow control assembly (left side of the Brunermatic valve) to the drain. Use
a minimum of elbows and increase or decrease the pipe size in order to make a connection to the backwash
flow control assembly. (see Figure 10) DO NOT install a valve in this line or use pipe smaller than listed in the
