SITE REQUIREMENTS:
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are
not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be
used on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or
clear lip seals.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads of the 1" NPT
elbow or the ¼” NPT connection and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon tape is not necessary
on the nut connections or caps because o-ring seals are used. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed
or tightened by hand or with the special plastic Service Wrench, #V3193. If necessary a pliers can be used to
unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screw-
driver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
• Water pressure: 20-90 psi
• Water temperature: 40° F - 100° F
• The tanks should be on a firm, level surface
• Electrical: Use a 115/120v, 60Hz
uninterrupted outlet
• Current draw is 0.25 amperes
• A 15-foot power cord is furnished
• The plug-in transformer is for dry
locations only
• Batteries are not used
The Clack tanks on your softener systems have slightly higher operating pressure and temperature guidelines
by themselves than what is listed above.
1. The distance between the drain and the water softener should be as short as possible. All plumbing
should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes.
2. Since salt must be periodically added to the brine tank, it should be located where it is easily accessible.
3. Do not install any water softener with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a
water heater.
