Installation Requirements.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Consider all of the following when selecting an
installation location for the water softener.
Do not locate the water softener where freezing
temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat
water over 120°F. Freezing temperatures or
hot water damage voids the warranty.
To condition all water in the home, install
the water softener close to the water supply
inlet, and upstream of all other plumbing
connections, except outside water pipes.
Outside faucets should remain on hard water to
avoid wasting conditioned water and salt.
A nearby drain is needed to carry away
regeneration discharge (drain) water. Use a
floor drain,laundry tub, sump, standpipe, or
other options(check your local codes). See
"Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve Drain
Requirements"sections.
The water softener uses a direct plug-in
external power supply (included). Be sure to
use the included power supply and plug it into
a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that
is in a dry location only, grounded and properly
protected by an over current device such as a
circuit breaker or fuse.
Always install the water softener between
the water inlet and water heater. Any other
installed water conditioning equipment should
be installed between the water inlet and water
softener (See Figure below).
DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE
SOFTENER. Temperature of water passing
through the softener must be less than 120 ° F.
Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun
heat may cause distortion or other damage to
non-metallic parts.
Outside installation is not recommended and
voids the warranty.
Do not install the softener where it would block
access to the water heater or access to the
main water shutoff.
