Aqua-Pure CSM1501 - Manual (Page 5)

Facts to Remember While Planning The 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.
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.
5) Sweep the fl oor to eliminate objects that could pierce the brine tank.
IMPORTANT NOTE
SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners using sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water. People who are on sodium restricted diets
should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.
