    Installation Instructions Step 1 Installation Rules The following general rules need to be applied to any MC installation. Carel will not take responsibility for any system installed that does not follow these rules and warranty may be voided. 1. All atomizing heads on a system must be at the same elevation. Due to the low water pressure involved, a deviation in elevation of heads of more than 3 inches may be enough to cause the lower heads to spray heavy while the higher heads don’t spray at all.
