PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION

2A.
WHERE TO INSTALL THE SOFTENER
Think
of the following
points
as you choose
a
place to put your softener.
(see FIG. 1).
*
Place as close as possible
to the pressure
tank
(well water)
or water
meter (city water).
•
Place as close as possible to a water drain such
as a floor
drain,
laundry
tub,
sump
or
standpipe.
&* Connect
to
the
house
main
water
pipe
BEFORE THE WATER HEATER. Temperature
of water going through
the softener
must not
be more than 120°F (49°C).
•
Keep outside
faucets on hard water to save soft
water
and salt.
&e DO NOT install in a place where the softener
could freeze. Freeze damage voids the warran-
ty by Sears, Roebuck and Co.
A • Put
the
softener
in a place
water
damage
is
least
likely
to occur
if it develops
a leak.
Sears
Ake
AO
Ako
or the manufacturer
will not repair
or pay for
water
damage.
A 120V electrical
oudet, to plug the transform-
er into is needed
within
10 feet of the softener
(the softener
has a 10 foot power
cable).
Be
sure the outlet
and
transformer
are in an
inside
place,
to protect
from wet weather.
So the softener
always
has electrical
power,
use a continuously
"live" outlet, that cannot be
accidentally
switched
off.
When
installing
in an
outside
location,
you
must
take
the
steps
necessary
to assure
the
softener,
installation
plumbing,
and wiring,
are
as well
protected
from
the elements,
contami-
nation,
vandalism,
etc.,
as
when
installed
indoors.
Keep the softener out of direct sunlight. The
sun's heat can melt plastic parts.
