WS-P213 Hobart Water Softening System Installation Instructions - INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION WS-P213
Disconnect the
electrical power to the machine and
follow lockout / tagout procedures.
1. Determine location to install equipment. Make
sure the unit will be on a flat surface.
2. If sand, silt, or turbidity is present, install a
separate prefilter.
Fig. 1
3. Install by-pass valving. Be certain to note the inlet
and outlet arrows on the valve head.
4. Connect the inlet/outlet adapters leading to the
softener using the proper size plumbing.
5. Plumb as necessary to accommodate the bypass
valve and to complete the installation.
NOTE: Actual installation of by-pass valving may vary
from installation to installation. Be sure to follow state
and local codes.

NOTE: When installing a plastic component in line, it
is recommended that grounding straps be put in place
before the lines are actually cut to ensure the ground
is never broken.
NOTE: Do not solder brass adapters while inserted
in the module base. Damage to plastic and rubber
parts may result due to the heat. In addition, the
materials used in the soldering process may attack
certain types of plastics.
NOTE: Care should be taken during the installation
process to assure that solder and flux do not come in
contact with the media tanks, the control module, and
related components.
6. After all plumbing is completed, but before
connecting equipment, flush both the inlet and
outlet lines by opening the by-pass valve and
allowing water to rinse out any debris in the lines.
7. Locate enclosed kit containing four O-rings, two
pipes with O-rings, and the silicone packet. Apply
a liberal amount of silicone to the four Orings, and
the O-rings in the two pipes. Install the four Orings on the inlet/outlet adapters.
