Installation Procedures - Water Control Corporation SF Series Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

1. IDENTIFY INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR WATER SOFTENER. Piping should be such that all hard water, except for outside hydrants, flows through
softener. This system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
2. CONNECT WATER PIPING. See install diagrams for plumbing layout. Important: Make all sweat-solder connections within 6 inches of softener before
applying threaded fittings to supplied bypass valve. Overheating may cause damage to valve.
3. CONNECT DRAIN LINE. 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 BRINE LINE (TWO-TANK MODELS ONLY). Connect brine line (supplied in parts bag) to fitting on brine tank, and on the control valve.
Tighten both fittings with an adjustable wrench.
5. INSTALL BRINE TANK OVERFLOW LINE. Install overflow fitting into hole inside of brine tank. An owner-supplied overflow line should then be attached
and run to a nearby drain. Failure to run overflow line could cause flooding and water damage should the brine tank overflow.
6. CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE. Connect power cord to a separate 120v, 15-amp, ground fault interrupt (GFI) outlet.
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.
