CAUTION: The use of a pressure reducing valve may limit the flow of water
in the household.
Temperature - Do not install the unit where it might freeze, or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct
sunlight.
LOCATION
Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines and 4 feet (1.3
metres) above for service access and filling the salt container.
Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of bumps or irregularities. Bumps, cracks, stones and
other irregularities can cause the salt storage tank bottom to crack when filled with salt and water.
Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer
to the Drain Line Chart, Table 1 (page 10), for maximum drain line length.
NOTICE: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or airgap. Observe all local plumbing codes and drain
restrictions. The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
Electrical facilities - A 6-foot grounded cord is provided. The customer should provide a 3-prong grounded
receptacle, preferably one not controlled by a switch that can be turned off accidentally. Observe local electrical
codes.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! DO NOT REMOVE THE
GROUNDING PRONG! IF THE RECEPTACLE IS DESIGNED ONLY FOR
2-PRONG PLUGS, OBTAIN A 3-PRONG ADAPTER AND GROUND IT
SECURELY TO THE RECEPTACLE. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.
