Installation

Note: Read this section entirely before starting the installation. Follow all applicable plumbing and
electrical codes.
For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248
CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of the system. This
system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations. The use of saddle
valves is not permitted.
With the exception of media containers, open the remaining containers, remove all the components,
and inspect them before starting installation.
Placement
Refer to figure 9 for system placement.
• Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water, drain and electrical facilities.
• Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface as near the media tank as possible.
Tank Assembly
• 9" and 10" tanks are filled with media at the factory.
• Before the unit can be connected to the plumbing the manifold must be inserted and media loaded
into the tank for 12" and 14" units.
Caution! Do not lay the tank down unless a suitable lifting device is available. Personal
injury and damage to the unit can result if dropped.
Note: For Total Home Advanced units allow the media to soak for 24 hours.
Position the Mineral Tank(s)
Determine the location for the mineral tanks(s) prior to loading, since they will be difficult to move after
the underbedding and gravel are loaded.
