Brita PRO PERFORMANCE NRV Series - PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS; Check Water Hardness; Electrical Grounding

7
An approved grounding
strap must be used in all
cases where metal pipe was
originally used and is later
interrupted by poly pipe,
the Noryl bypass valve or
by physical separation. The
grounding clamp used for
continuity, must be no less
than #6 copper conductor
to maintain proper metallic
pipe bonding.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHECK YOUR WATER HARDNESS
Use test strips (Part # 2793828-20) to get an estimation of water hardness. Contact your local BRITA
®
PRO dealer to use a
BRITA
®
PRO laboratory for a complete water analysis free of cost and no obligation to you.
CAUTION
The ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground
copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines. If these lines are cut during installation
of the Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be used
between the two lines that have been cut. This will maintain continuity. The length of the
grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed and/or the amount
of copper pipe being replaced with plastic pipe. See drawing below.
