Location Selection

Location of a water conditioning system is important. The following conditions are required:

•Level platform or floor.

•Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding regenerant (salt) to tank.

•Ambient temperatures over 34oF (1oC) and below 120oF (49oC).

•Water pressure below 120 psi (8.27 bar) and above 25 psi (1.7 bar).

•In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi (6.89 bar).

•Constant electrical supply to operate the controller.

•Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system.

•Local drain for discharge as close as possible.

•Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves.

•Must meet any local and state codes for site of installation.

•Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments. Do not support weight of system on the plumbing.

•Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before attaching plastic valve to the plumbing.

Outdoor Locations

When the water conditioning system is installed outdoors, several items must be considered.

•Moisture – The valve and control are rated for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not affect performance. The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity or water spray from below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment, or upwards spray from sprinkler.

Caution: This unit is for dry location use only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for outdoor use.

•Direct Sunlight – The materials used will fade or discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the materials will not degrade to cause system failures. If it is necessary to locate the conditioner in direct sunlight, an outdoor cover (PN 1267811) over the valve and control is necessary. Valve skirts

(PN 1267808) are available if further protection is required.

•Temperature – Extreme hot or cold temperatures will cause damage to the valve or control. Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as well as the plumbing and conditioning resin. High temperatures will affect the control. The display may become unreadable but the control should continue to function. When the temperature returns to normal operating limits the display will re-appear. A protective cover should assist with high temperature applications.

•Insects – The control and valve have been designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas. Any holes in the top plate can be covered with duct tape. The top cover should be installed securely in place.

•Wind – The cover, when properly installed on the valve, is designed to withstand a 30 mph (48 Kph).
