CONNeCTIONS:
Perform installation according to state and local plumbing codes.
REQUIRED:
Use of flexible stainless steel connections is required (as code applicable) to connect unit to water
supply. Allows flexibility for tank expansion under pressure (see installation section in this manual).
WARNING:
Use of teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on threaded drain and adaptor connections.
do not use pipe dope or pipe joint compound.
exISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free of lime &/or iron buildup. Pipe(s) and/or water heaters
should be replaced if any heavy buildup exists. Pre-existing conditions will effect the performance of
this system.
eLeCTRICAL:
All systems in this guide (usA versions) use 12 volt transformer for electrical power.
Always use the supplied power cord and transformer. Plug power cord into a standard 110/115/120
volt, grounded and unswitched outlet. If outside, follow code for protected outlet and gFI. Be sure
electric outlet and transformer do not come in contact with water.
CAUTION:
Plumber installed jumper between inlet and outlet connections may be required to maintain the
plumbing system ground. Properly ground system to conform with all codes and ordinances.
INSTALLATION LOCATION:
-

system to freezing temperatures which causes equipment damage and voids the warranty.
IRON SYSTeMS
PReSSURe:
40 psi. is the Minimum inlet water pressure. Maximum inlet water pressure is 75 psi. Use pressure
reducing valve if necessary to prevent high pressure and problem pressure surges above 75 psi.
WARNING:
Pressure exceeding, surging or spiking above 75 psi or any negative pressure voids the warranty.
fLOw RATe:
Minimum flow rates (at a minimum of 40 psi) required for duration of complete backwash cycles at
8 gpm for 1054 systems and 12 gpm for 1354 systems in order for system to function properly.
CAUTION: read and follow the information in this manual to minimize the risk
of electric shock or personal injury.
