INSTALLATION
Electrical Requirements:
The automatic control valve requires a constant power supply - 120V/60 Hz AC. We recommend a GFI (ground fault
interrupter) outlet within 5 feet of the CBF1 Filter. Extension cords are not recommended.
If water pipes are used to ground electrical system, you will need to install a jumper wire across the filter unit.
Unpacking the unit
The unit includes:
Unpack the unit and place it at the location where you intend to install it.
Stand back and look at the filter to make sure it is standing straight up and not tilted to one side. Sometimes during
shipment, the bottom of the tank will get knocked out of alignment and you will need to straighten it out before
starting installation. If your tank is a bit tilted, simply pick the tank up 2 – 3 inches off the floor and drop it gently but
firmly down, favoring the side that needs to be adjusted to make the filter stand straight up again.
Make sure your chosen location is fairly level, dry, and protected from possible freezing conditions.
DO NOT set the tanks onto make shift platforms as this may cause the filter to topple.
The system has 3 connections - an inlet, an outlet, and a drain line connection. If you
are looking at the back of the unit (fig 1), the inlet is on the left side.
Warning:
Make
sure that you have correctly identified the inlet of the system.
REVERSING THE
CONNECTIONS WILL RESULT IN FILTER MEDIA BEING THROWN INTO YOUR HOME'S
PLUMBING SYSTEM CAUSING DAMAGE TO IT AS WELL AS THE Filter system.
You can use copper, CPVC, PVC or PEX to install your new system
