SECTION 2
PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION
:
2A. WHERE TO INSTALL THE FILTER
Think of the following points as you choose a place to put
your filter (See Figure 1).
• Place as close as possible to the pressure tank (well
water) or water meter (city water).
• Place as close as possible to a water drain such as
a floor drain, laundry tub, sump or standpipe.
• Connect to the house main water pipe BEFORE THE
WATER HEATER. Temperature of water going
through the filter must not be more than
120 °F
(49 °C).
• If a water softener, or other filter is installed, locate in
the order shown in Figure 1, below.
• DO NOT install in a place where the filter could
freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the war­
ranty by Sears, Roebuck and Co.
Put the filter in a place water damage is lease likely
to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the manufac­
turer will not repair or pay for water damage.
A 120V electrical outlet, to plug the transformer into
is needed within 10 feet of the filter (the filter has a 10
foot power cablet. Be sure the outlet and transformer
are in an inside place, to protect from wet weather.
Sothe filter always has electrical power, use a contin­
uously “live”, grounded outlet, that cannot be acci­
dently switched off.
When installing in an outside location, you must take
the steps necessary to assure the filter, installation
plumbing, and wiring, are as well protected from the
elements, contamination, vandalism, etc., as when
installed indoors.
Keep the filter out of direct sunlight. The sun’s heat
can melt plastic parts.
