Installation Procedure
1. Identify installation location. ELEMENT33 piping should originate shortly after incoming
water supply shutoff, but just after any outside water lines. IMPORTANT: there must not be
any filters installed upstream of the ELEMENT33, or insufficient water pressures may af-
fect operational performance. This system and installation must comply with state and local
laws or regulations.
2. Connect water piping. This unit has been supplied with a manually operated bypass device
which enables it to be isolated from the water service lines for maintenance and service, and
also maintain a constant water supply should the ELEMENT33 be removed from service.
IMPORTANT: Make all sweat-solder connections within 6 inches of the unit before apply-
ing threaded fittings to supplied bypass valve. Overheating may cause damage to valve.
Turn supplied bypass valve to "Bypass" position and make connections to household water
lines. Leave unit in the "Bypass" position until the system startup up procedure is per-
formed.
3. Connect drain line. Remove barbed drain line fitting from parts bag. Apply thread seal
tape to threads and install into the female threaded opening on the back side of the control
valve. Connect 5/8" drain line (supplied in parts bag) to barbed end of drain line fitting and
run to a nearby drain.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that a hose clamp be used to secure tubing to
drain fitting to ensure tubing from being removed during elevated pressure situations.
Be sure not to submerse drain line end into drain, as a 1 1/2" minimum air gap must be
maintained to prevent potential backflow hazard. Firmly secure at drain, while maintaining
a minimum 1 1/2" air gap.
4. Connect to electrical power source. Connect power cord to a separate 120VAC, 15Amp,
ground fault interrupt (GFI) outlet.
Proceed to start-up procedure.
Note: This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without disinfection before or after the system.
