WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to
operate effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: A continuous 115 volt, 60 Hertz current supply is required. (Other voltages
avaiIable. ) Make certain the current supply is always hot and cannot be turned off with another switch.
EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from Iime and iron buildup. Piping that
is built up.
heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit
should be installed ahead of the water softener.
LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN: The softener should be Iocated close to a drain.
BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve.
CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 120 p.s.i., water temperature is not to exceed 100˚F, and the
unit cannot be subjected to freezing conditions.
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is Ievel and on a firm
base.(Maximum 7 feet apart for twin units.)
2. All plumbing should be done in accordance with Iocal plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line
should be the same size as the drain line flow control connection. Water Meters are to be installed on soft
water outlets. Twin units with (1) one Meter shall be installed on common soft water outlet of units.
3. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage tank and that it is Ievel.
4. Place approximately 13 of water above the grid plate (if used) in your salt tank Salt may be placed in the
unit at this time.
5. Place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and Iet run a
few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have resulted from
the installation.
6. Place the by-pass in service position.
7. Manually index the softener control into “service” position and Iet water flow into the mineral tank. When
water flow stops,close inlet valve, place control in “backwash” position to relieve head of air, then gradually
open inlet valve to purge remaining air in tank. Return control to “service” position.
8. Electrical: AlI electrical connections must be connected according to codes. Use electrical conduit if
applicable. Plug into power supply.
