INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Before beginning installation, thoroughly review the following instructions to familiarize yourself with the general place-
ment and identication of all components. These instructions are written for a single unit installation, but they also
generally apply to twin and triple units.
Refer to specic equipment layout drawing, water meter installation instruction, and interconnecting electrical wiring
diagram for your system.
Catalog softeners are shipped fully assembled with face piping and controllers. Care must be taken not to dam-
age valves or controllers during uncrating and installation. During unpacking the brine tank miscellaneous parts are
shipped inside the brine tank. These parts include hardness test kit, injectors, extra manuals and other parts that may
apply to your particular system. Care should be taken when unpacking the brine tank.
NOTES:
• Install the piping conforming to federal, provincial, and local codes.
• Union or anges are recommended at the control valve’s inlet, outlet, and drain connections
• To enhance the monitoring of the system’s performance sample valves and pressure gauges are be installed at
the inlet and outlet piping to each control valve.
• If distance of drain line is over a 10 ft. vertical, or 25 ft. horizontal run, increase drain line one pipe size over that
provided on the control valve.
• Do not make a direct connection to the drain. Provide an air gap of at least four times the diameter of the pipe to
conform to sanitation codes and to permit observation of the ow.
• It is not recommended that an overhead or a long horizontal drain run be used. The increased backpressure will
cause problems when drawing brine.
PIPING INSTALLATION:
1. Install piping as shown on the layout drawing. Include unions and shut-o valves on the inlet and outlet of each
softener. Also, include a shut-o valve for each injector provided with the system. It is recommended that a union
be installed in each softener drain-line to facilitate cleaning the backwash ow control.
2. Do not reduce drain-line pipe size. Do not install a shut o valve in the drain-line. Provide an air gap in the drain
line in accordance with local codes (minimum four (4) pipe diameters).
3. If your system has a water meter thoroughly read the meter instructions manual located in the back of this manual
before installing any water meters or ow sensors,. Water meters typically must be installed in a particular manner
(i.e. horizontal, plane or with recommend pipe lengths) to function properly.
4. After the piping has been completed, make sure to close all isolation valves.
