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 system. (See Specifi cations And Operating Data,
Section 6).
To measure the pumping rate of your pump, follow these instructions:
a. Make certain no water is being drawn. Open spigot nearest pressure tank. When pump starts, close spigot and measure time (in seconds) to refi ll
pressure tank (when pump shuts off). This fi gure represents cycle time.
b. With the pressure tank full, draw water into a container of known volume, measure the number of gallons drawn until the pump starts again. This
is draw-down. divide this fi gure by cycle time and multiply the result by 60 to arrive at the pumping rate in gallons per minute (gpm). to aid in your
calculation, insert the data in the following formula:
DRAW-DOWN ______ (gals.) ÷ CYCLE TIME ______ (secs.) x 60 = PUMPING RATE ______(gpm)
EXAMPLE:
CYCLE TIME is 65 secs.; DRAW-DOWN is 6 gals.; then PUMPING RATE equals: 6 gals. ÷ 65 secs. x 60 = 5.5 gpm
Installation Site Selection:
Select the location of your system with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows:
1) Locate as close as possible to water supply source.
2) Locate as close as possible to a waste drain.
3) Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment (Figure 1, page 2-1).
4) Locate the system in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above 100°F (38°C) will damage the system and void the factory war-
ranty.
5) DO NOT install the system in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the factory
warranty.
6) Allow suffi cient space around the installation for easy servicing.
7) Provide a non-switched 110V, 60Hz power source for the control valve.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Protect from freezing, relieve pressure and drain system when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4°C).
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this system is 100°F (38°C).
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
