Aqua-Pure NWS200 - Manual (Page 10)

Step 1
(a) Remove unit from shipping box, inspect for damage and ensure all parts needed for installa-
tion are present. If parts are missing please contact our customer service department for help
@ 1-800-222-7880. Remove the packing from unit and discard according to local, state and
federal regulations.
b) Attach bypass valve (Figure 2) using adapter couplings, clips and screws to control valve
(Figure 3). On meter initiated models, attach meter between bypass valve and control valve
(Figure 3). Ensure the bypass valve is placed into the bypass position as shown in Figure 2
until instructed to place into the service position.
Step 2
Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a private well system, turn off power to the pump and drain the pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from
the complete system by opening the faucet closest to the system.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
Step 3
Cut main supply line as required to fi t plumbing inlet and outlet of bypass valve assembly. Use fl exible tubing connections to connect the valve to household
plumbing (as shown in schematic).
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not apply heat to any fi tting connected to bypass or control valve as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters.
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.
Step 4
Attach drain line to drain line fi tting. To prevent back pressure from reducing fl ow rate below minimum required for backwash, the drain line MUST BE sized accord-
ing to run length and relative height. Be careful not to bend fl exible drain tubing sharply enough to cause “kinking” (if kinking occurs drain line MUST BE replaced).
Typical examples of proper drain line diameters are:
1) 1/2” ID up to 15 ft. when discharge is lower than inlet.
2) 5/8” ID up to 15 ft. when discharge is slightly higher than the inlet.
3) 3/4” ID when drain is 25 ft. away and/or drain is installed overhead.
Some areas prohibit the use of fl exible drain lines. Check your local pluming code prior to installation.
Step 5
Position the drain line over the drain and secure fi rmly. To prevent back-siphoning of sewer water, provide an air-gap of at least 2” or 2 pipe diameters between
end of drain hose and drain (Figure 4). DO NOT raise drain line more than 10 ft. above fl oor.
Step 6
Connect one end of the 3/8" poly line to brine valve located on the right side of control valve. Connect other end to elbow inside of brine well. Brass sleeves
and plastic ferrules must be used where necessary. (See Figure 3 and Control Valve Parts Drawing, Section 6.)

CAUTION CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use instructions before installation and use of this water treatment system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with existing state or local plumbing codes.
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.
