4.3-2
All plumbing should be done in accordance with all local plumbing codes.
Inspect and Verify: That all components are included with the unit and were not damaged in shipping. If there is obvious
damage to any equipment, it must be noted on the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Open and inspect the contents of all closed crates,
boxes or cartons, and inspect for concealed damage. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage during transit, as stated
and published in the conditions of sale, the receiving packing slip and accepted invoice. The manufacturer has made every
effort to ensure goods should be received in good condition and will support all legitimate claims against any carrier on behalf
of the receiving party. Please see reverse side of all receiving packing slips and yellow labels affixed to boxes for your rights.
Caution:
Do not attempt to install any system using defective or damaged components. Do not install any system
that has been misapplied based assumed water conditions. Do not install any system that has been misapplied based on
usage, line service and/or the conditions and standards of operation stated below.
Warning:
When drilling or cutting, use protective eyewear to prevent possible eye injury due to flying objects. When
using an open flame and/or hot materials, take the necessary precautions for you and the environment to prevent burns,
burning and/or fires.
CONDITIONS AND STANDARDS OF OPERATION
Water Conditions and Issues: Water must be potable and must be micro-biologically correct. Water must be of a known
quality or tested completely and independently to determine its quality, either municipally-treated or non-regulated, individual
or community, well water. Please see in this manual: Qualifications and Applications, Standard Industry Terms and the Limited
Warranty. Information provided for proper specifications are included in our published product manuals, and available through
customer service and on our website. A simple emphasis on, and test for, water hardness is inadequate. Water issues with
iron and/or manganese require their removal by a separate filter unit installed ahead of any other unit.
Water Pressure and Flow Rate: A minimum of 30 PSI (40 PSI for Iron units) and 8 GPM (12 GPM for 1354 Iron units)
is required for a backwash or regeneration valve to operate effectively. Water pressure not to exceed or to surge in excess of
a maximum of 75 PSI for the system. Unsure of pressure or it’s ability to surge? A pressure reducing valve (PRV) becomes an
insurance policy and is highly recommended for this and many other products that limit high pressure in your home. Excessive
pressure will void product warranty.
Water Temperature Range: Feed water temperature not to exceed 110°F or be allowed to go below 40°F. Protect unit
from exceeding high temperatures and never allow unit, its’ drain line and any water to freeze.
Electrical: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required for the operation of the control timer. Please make
sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation. Low 24 voltage step down transformer 120v, 50/60Hz
Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing and water heaters should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that
is built up heavily and clogged with lime and/or iron should be replaced. Old galvinized or combinations of plumbing materials
and their installation can cause separate water issues and conditions not related to water systems.
Location of Equipment: Units can be installed, almost anywhere. Inside or outside. Valves may be water resistant, not
water proof. Protect any system from the elements. Position equipment upright in its’ designated location, setting on a flat
surface. Level equipment as required. Equipment out of plumb can exhibit poor flow characteristics which will affect the
performance of the system.
Plumbing and Installation: Connect raw water supply to bypass inlet connection. Connect treated water bypass outlet
to home service line. Pipe sizes should be equal to or one size larger than the valve connection (3/4” line with 8 gpm to
standard 1” valving is acceptable). NO Torch, NO Heat - solder all piping as sub-assemblies before installing. Internal valve
damage can result from solder and/or torched heat
By-Pass Valves: All 1” noryl plastic valving are supplied with a 1” high flow dual-port bypass valve and male-threaded yoke
which are required for usage on these systems. On larger brass valves (1”HF, 11/2”, 2” and larger) the installation of a plumbed
bypass with 3 shut-off valves and unions is required, as specified per unit, in this service manual. The need for a proper bypass
is required by warranty and is necessary to isolate the system for maintenance and service.
Drain Connection: Drain line should be sized to handle maximum drain line flow rates for the system as designated on the
control valve. Minimum required drain line size at the valve (1/2” for all 1” valves, 3/4” for all 11/2” valves and larger). Recom-
mended one pipe size larger for runs of 10 feet or more. Avoid overhead pipe runs, as undue backpressure can affect operation
of backwash/regeneration. See backwash (tank filtration systems) and regeneration (softeners) differences, capabilities and
restrictions - in drain connection procedures in those service manuals for those specific units.
ALL SPECIFICS TO EACH SYSTEMS’ SET-UP, INSTALL AND START-UP IS AVAILABLE IN THE SERVICE MANUAL.
