PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
Select the location for your softener tank with care. Various conditions that contribute to
proper location include:
1.
All installation procedures must conform to local or regional plumbing codes. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local
requirements
2.
Outside taps used to water lawns and gardens should be isolated from the water line required to supply untreated water
to the inlet of the water softener – a separate (new) line may be needed.
3.
Where required by local plumbing codes, a check valve may need to be installed. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local
requirements
4.
Locate softener as close as possible to the water supply source.
5.
Locate softener as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain and a 120 volt AC electrical outlet.
6.
Softeners should be located before the water heater on the supply line. If closer than three (3) metres [10 feet], install
a check valve in accordance with local plumbing codes.
7.
Do NOT install a softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage to
this type of equipment and will void the factory warranty. Freezing could also result in flooding and / or property loss and damage.
8.
Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing.
9.
Keep the softener out of direct sunlight.
