INSTALLATION GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping, but the water treatment unit is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants, or spray silicone anywhere.
INSTALLATION Provisions should be made to bypass outside hydrants that are not to have filtered water. It is also advisable to install hose bibs on the inlet and outside of the filter for future testing and service of the equipment. Where heavy sediment from the well is observed, it is advisable to install a cartridge or bag-style filter immediately upstream from the filter.
STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION The FC-1000 City Water Filter requires no backwashing and eliminates the need for a control valve and the extra water needed to regenerate. The unit is equipped with an upper strainer assembly to prevent mineral loss. Please contact A. O. Smith with any questi ons pertaining to the FC-1000 installati on.
