Rigging
The WaterGard unit should be lifted and moved by a forklift. If the WaterGard
unit is lifted by a crane it should be lifted from the bottom using a platform.
The unit should be secure to the platform using the anchor locations. A test
lift should be done in order to determine the weight centerline.
Do not allow rigging straps to contact system components.
Physical System Requirements
• WaterGard is for indoor use only. If the end user desires the unit to be
placed outdoors it is the sole responsibly of the end user to protect the unit
from freezing and inclement weather conditions.
• Ideally WaterGard should be located out of direct sunlight. If this is not
possible some components may experience discoloration from direct UV
rays due to sunlight. This is mainly an aesthetic issue and won't adversely
impact performance.
• WaterGard should be located on a level floor or housekeeping pad.
• Floor load rating must be sufficient to accept WaterGard weight.
• The location must be dry and frost-free.
• Normally, inlet water temperature should not exceed 77°F. Water tempera-
tures above this will negatively impact the quality of the water.
• Feedwater to the WaterGard unit must not contain chlorine or oil. For more
information refer to Table 3.
• A floor drain close to the unit is required that can carry away the reject flow
from the WaterGard system. See Table 2 for reject flow requirements.
• The water pressure at the WaterGard inlet when in operation, must be a
minimum of 30 psi, and must not exceed a maximum of 80 psi. If the pres-
sure exceeds the maximum stated pressure, or if it fluctuates to pressures
exceeding 80 psi, install a pressure-reducing valve at the inlet.
• The flow of inlet water supplied to the WaterGard unit shall be an uninter-
rupted flow at 30 psi minimum, and at a minimum flow rate of twice the
rated product water flow of the WaterGard unit purchased. See Table 2
for minimum flow rates.
• WaterGard should be additionly secured in areas where necessary using
seismic and wind rated anchor bolts and straps. All applicable local codes
shall be followed.
