Installation
Installation Requirements
Make sure you have level floor position ahead of piping into water heater.
Unit must be installed at least 10 feet ahead of the inlet to a water heater to prevent damage due to back-up hot
water.
DO NOT
install the unit in an area of direct sunlight or where freezing temperatures may occur!
Locate the unit near an unswitched, 120 volt / 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet.
Check for distance and proper drain installation (e.g. floor drain, washing machine standpipe).
Determine type and size of piping required for filter connection (e.g. copper, galvanized, PVC plastic).
Note:
If household plumbing is galvanized and you intend to make the installation with copper (or vice versa),
obtain di-electric unions to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Note
Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20 feet in length to reach the drain, use
3/4” I.D. drain line tubing instead of 1/2” I.D. Drain line tubing is not included.
Caution:
If sweat soldering copper pipe (remember to always use lead free solder and flux), cover yoke and by
pass valve with wet rags to prevent heat damage to connections and control valve. If using PVC or plas
tic pipe, primers and solvent cements specifically recommended for use with potable water are required.
Note:
All plumbing lines not requiring filtered water should be connected “upstream” of the equipment installed. A
one-way check valve must be installed between the secondary service line and inlet to the filter to prevent
backflow.
