INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Safety Precautions
• To prevent an accident and/or injury, do not hoist the unit over your shoulder. Use a

3. Check the Water Pressure
•
the water pressure exceeds this limit, install a pressure regulator on the inlet pipe
of the unit. The minimum water pressure for a conditioner is 20 psi. 60 psi is the
optimum operating pressure.
4. Locate a Site for the System
• There are three primary requirements needed for a site: the main water source, an
air-gap drain and a grounded electrical connection. Locate the system as close to
these items as practical. Drain lines over 50 feet long, may need to be increased in size
• Place the system in the desired location. The location should have a level, smooth, and
clean surface.
• If the system is located outdoors, protect the unit from direct sunlight. Direct
a box or shed. In some installation environments you may choose to partially bury
the system. This is done primarily for aesthetics, however this will add stability to the
system as well.
• We recommend all systems installed outdoors include the valve weather cover.
5. Install the Valve Head

•
