METALWATERPIPEGROUNDING
IMPORTANT: This Central Water Whole Home Filter
has a non-metallic valve system.
Installing it on metal plumbing will break
electrical continuity, which may interrupt
grounding for the home. You must restore
electrical continuity in your metal plumb-
ing system.
If you installed a 3-valve bypass system (Fig. 7), electri-
cal continuity will be maintained. If you installed the
non-metallic bypass valve (Fig. 8), restore the ground as
follows:
Install a #4 copper wire (parts not included) across the
removed section of metal water pipe, securely clamping
it at both ends (See Fig. 9). Be sure the pipes are clean
under the clamps, to assure good contact.
NOTE: If you are installing a water softener or other
item(s) into the plumbing system, along with the
Central Water Whoel Home Filter, be sure to
restore electrical continuity across all removed
metal pipe sections.
INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE
1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8"
drain line (provided) to the Central Water Whole
Home Filtration System valve drain fitting (See Figure
10). Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in place.
NOTE: If codes require a rigid drain line see "Valve
Drain requirements" section.
2. Run the drain hose or copper tubing to the floor
drain. Secure drain hose. This will prevent the drain
line from "whipping" during Clean Rinse cycles. See
"Air Gap Requirements" section.
