Pre-installation Review
Before beginning the installation of the Kinetico system, confirm system configuration to be installed and
components that have been ordered. Please review Kinetico specification sheet that includes required
components.
Review of the customer's facility is also recommended, especially critical operating data that could affect the
operation of the system:
Water pressure to the Kinetico system affects the performance during
regeneration. The Kinetico system will not operate properly if the inlet pressure
fluctuates below a dynamic pressure of 25 psi. This minimum pressure must be
maintained to the system at all times. Should the pressure fluctuate below this
level, a booster pump may be required.
Do not use on water pressure that exceeds 125 psi or water temperature that
exceeds 120°F.
Do not install the Kinetico Softener in an area where the temperature can cause
the unit to freeze. Damage to the system will result.
It is recommended that a WQA certified installer perform the installation. Failure
to install the system as instructed will void the warranty.
Proper ventilation must be provided when using PVC cleaner or glue.
A ladder should be used for all work overhead that would be beyond your natural
reach. If working continuously at a height of six feet or more, the appropriate
safety devices must be employed.
An appliance dolly should be used when transporting equipment on stairways.
When soldering, the following must be met and followed:
• LEAD FREE solder must be used.
• PVC containers and other flammable materials must be closed or
removed to prevent fire or explosions.
• Loose clothing (ie: shirttails, sleeves, etc.) should not be worn or should
be addressed before using a torch for soldering.
• The customer must be notified if you will be disabling smoke alarm(s)
during installation. Be sure to reconnect the smoke alarm(s).
• A scorch pad must be used to protect any surface that may be exposed to
a torch flame or excessive heat. Wear protective eyewear while installing
to prevent eye injury caused by splattering soldering materials or
metal/plastic shavings.
