UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Check the system components for damage or missing parts.
WHERE TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM
Consider the following points when determining where to install any Spectrum System point of entry filter:
Place system on the main water supply in order to filter and supply filtered water to the entire home.
CAUTION:
DO NOT install on a soft water loop or bypass of other water lines where the filtered water will not
be available for household use. All Spectrum Systems are designed to filter water to the entire
home.
NOTE:
All Spectrum Systems can connect for outside faucets for plants, lawn, pools, spas, and other
features. However, it is nice but not necessary under normal circumstances for any outside ap-
plication. It will cause no harm to the system or the other features but will use more water through
the system and may not create any additional benefits for those features.
Place the system as close as possible to a sewer drain or some other drain location. Air gap and proper
ventilation is a requirement. Drain and water can go outside. Contact EWS customer service for more information.
CAUTION:
Never install drain line smaller than 3/4” in diameter. Any drain line exceeding 20’ in total
length and/or is expected to flow over 5’ above the height of the drain port requires an
installed drain line of 1”. Install a non-restrictive check valve in drain line if water is expected to
flow 5’ above drain port.
A 120V grounded and unswitched electrical outlet is needed to plug in the transformer. If outlet is over 7 feet
away use 18 gauge extension to connect up to 100 feet away. Do not exceed 100 feet.
Do not install the system where it would block access to the water heater, or access to the main water shutoff,
water meter, or electrical panels. Always connect the system prior to the water heater(s).
Install the system where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight or subject to temperatures outside of the limits
stated in “Instructions Before Using” on Page 7 or the Specification Section in this manual. The system is water
resistant but not water-proof and should be protected from outside and weather exposure if applicable.
Install the system in a place where damage is least likely to occur if any unforeseeable issue arises.
System should be in an accessable location and be visable in order to visually monitor system and routinely check
clock operation and valve controls.
