The Importance Of Your Pressure Tank:
A PROPERLY SIZED PRESSURE TANK WILL REQUIRE A MINIMUM PUMP CYCLE OF 60 SECONDS TO REFILL FROM PUMP ON-TO-OFF PRESSURE SETTINGS.
Note: If your pressure tank (or any part of your water system) is not functioning properly, corrective action MUST be taken before installation of your fi lter system.
CAUTION 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.
Facts To Remember While Planning Your Installation:
1) All installation procedures MUST conform to local and state plumbing codes.
2) If lawn sprinklers, a swimming pool, or geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated by the water softener, a larger
model MUST be selected to accommodate the higher fl ow rate plus the backwashing requirements of the water softener. Consult your Dealer/Installer or
our Customer Service Department at 1-800-222-7880 for alternative instructions if the pumping rate is insuffi cient.
3) Remember that the water softener INLET is attached to the pipe that supplies water (i.e. delivers water from the well pump or after the water meter)
and the OUTLET is the line that runs toward the water heater.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:
• Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water fl ow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water treatment
equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.
4) Before beginning the installation review the existing piping system and to determine the size, number and type of fi ttings required.
5) The injection point for feeding sulfur reduction media MUST be located between the well pump and the pressure tank. The injection fi tting MUST enter the
bottom of the supply line, rather than side or top entry. (Figure 4 on page 3-3)
6) The solution tank should be located in as close proximity to the injection point as possible.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:
• If the home electrical system requires use of the cold water system as an electrical safety ground, a jumper must be used to ensure a suffi cient ground connection
across the water softener installation piping — refer installation to qualifi ed personnel.
7) Sweep the fl oor to eliminate foreign objects that could pierce the solution tank or the media tank, causing them to leak.
8) Hydrogen sulfi de gas can be very corrosive to copper and galvanized pipe, therefore installation should be performed using PVC or other approved plastic.
The pressure tank should be a captive-air type rather than a galvanized air-water type for this reason.
