Chapter 15 Water Softener Option
Getting Started
The following procedures have been developed to assist during the installation of your water
softener.
ALL STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND MET, including, but
not limited to:
• Distances that equipment may be placed from the main panel box and electrical outlets.
• Air gaps that must be provided for all drain lines.
Pre-installation Review
Before beginning the installation of the system, confirm the system configuration to be
installed and components that have been ordered. Please review the system specification
sheet that includes the required components.
A review of the customer’s facility is also recommended. Pay special attention to critical
operating data that could affect the function of the system.
Water pressure to the system affects the performance during regeneration. The system
will not operate properly if the inlet pressure fluctuates below a dynamic pressure of 25
psi.
Note: This minimum pressure must be maintained to the system at all times.
Note: If the pressure fluctuates below 25 psi, a booster pump may be purchased.
Do not use this system when water pressure exceeds 125 psi or when water temperature
exceeds 120° F.
Do not install the water softener in an area where the temperature can cause the unit to
freeze. Damage to the system will result.
It is recommended that a 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.
Use a ladder for all work overhead that is beyond your natural reach. If working
continuously at a height of six feet or more, the appropriate safety devices must be
employed.
Use an appliance dolly when transporting equipment on stairways.
When soldering, the following must be met and followed:
• Use LEAD FREE solder.
• PVC containers and other flammable materials must be closed or removed to prevent
fire or explosions.
• Loose clothing (i.e.: shirts tails, 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.
• Do not solder brass adapters while inserted in the module main base. Damage to the
plastic and rubber parts may occur due to the heat and may result in water damage.
• The materials used in the soldering process may attack certain types of plastics. Take
care during the installation process to assure that solder and flux do not come in
contact with media tanks, the control module and related plastic components.
