General and Commercial Installation Checklist
WATER PRESSURE:
A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate
effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES:
A continuous 115 volt, 60 Hertz current supply is required. Make certain the current
supply is always hot and cannot be turned off with another switch.
EXISTING PLUMBING:
Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is
built up heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron, a separate iron filter unit
should be installed ahead of the water softener.
LOCATION OF SOFTENER AND DRAIN:
The softener should be located close to a drain.
BY-PASS VALVES:
Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve.

NOTE:
If lubricant is required, a silicone compound is strongly recommended. Dow Corning ® Silicone
Compound (available from Fleck ® ), is recommended for best possible results. Dow Corning ® 7 Release
Compound is used in the manufacture of Fleck ® control valves. The use of other types of lubricants may
attack the control’s plastic or rubber components. Petroleum-based lubricants can cause swelling in rubber
parts, including o-rings and seals. .
