Important Information

 Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before

beginning installation.

 Check all applicable plumbing, building, and electrical codes for installation compliance.  Install the system on the main water supply.  Systems that contain electronic components cannot be installed outside in uncovered areas.

Page 4

Water Conditions For Operation

 The water should be free of hydrogen sulfide, a dissolved gas with a characteristic smell of rotten

eggs. If present, it can coat the catalytic surface of the media and interfere with the process. The gas should be removed through adequate pre-treatment.

 The water should be free of hydrocarbons, oils, and lubricants. If present, they can coat the catalyti

surface of the media and interfere with the process. Remove through adequate pre-treatment.

 The water should contain less than 1 mg/l of phosphates. Phosphates sequester dissolved hardness

molecules preventing them from forming crystals and may coat the catalytic media surface and interfere with the process.

 The copper level in the water supply should be below the MCL of 1.3mg/L. If copper is present above

this level, it can attach to the surface of the catalytic media and interfere with the process.

WARNING:

If this or any other system is installed in a metal (co nductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or galvanized metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a result any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Some homes may have been built in accordance with building codes, which actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing, or a grounded "jumper wire" bridging the equipment and reestablishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to your system’s use.

When adding a filtration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the system should be installed following the pressure tank. DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydro pneumatic

applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.
