Inspecting And Handling Your Iron Reduction System:
Inspect the equipment for shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection.
Handle the fi lter unit with care. Damage can result if dropped or if set on sharp, uneven projections on the fl oor. Do not turn the fi lter unit upside down.
CAUTION CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Installation must comply with existing state or local plumbing codes.
Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested:
An analysis of your water should have beeb made prior to the selection of your water conditioning equipment. Your dealer should have performed this service
for you, and may send a sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations.
Check Your Pumping Rate and Water Pressure:
Two water system conditions must be checked carefully to avoid unsatisfactory operation or equipment damage:
1) MINIMUM water pressure required at the iron reduction system inlet is 20 psi (138 kPa).
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 100 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumb-
ing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
NOTE: Call your local water department or plant operator to obtain pressure readings. If you have a private well, the gauge on the pressure tank will
indicate the high and low system pressure. Record your water pressure data below:
Water Pressure:
Low psi High psi
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum prevention.
The installer is required to take appropriate measures if there is the possibility a vacuum condition may occur. This would include the installation
of an appropriate device in the supply line to the system, i.e., a vacuum breaker or backfl ow prevention device. Vacuum damage voids the factory
warranty.
2) The pumping rate of your well must be suffi cient for satisfactory operation and BACKWASHING of the iron reduction system. (See Specifi cations
And Operating Data, Section 7).
IMPORTANT NOTE
If sediment is present, the installation of a sediment pre-fi lter is recommended. Even if sediment is not currently present or at a level high enough to
be objectionable, a pre-fi lter can help increase the effi ciency of the softener and help reduce the amount of maintenance required.
