WHERE TO INSTALL THE WATER SOFTENER

Review the following points before you choose a place

1.Place as close as possible but always after, the pressure tank (well water) or water meter (city water). See Fig. 3.

2.Place as close as possible to a water drain such as a floor drain, laundry tub, sump or standpipe. See Fig. 3.

3.Connect to the house main water pipe BEFORE THE WATER HEATER. See Fig. 3. Temperature of water going through the softener must not be more than 120°F (49°C). Hot water will damage inner softener parts. To reduce the risk of hot water backup, piping between the softener and water heater should be as long of a run as possible.

4.Keep outside faucets on hard water to save soft water and salt. See Fig. 3.

5.Do not install in a place where the softener could freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the war- ranty by Sears, Roebuck and Co.

to put your softener.

6.Put the softener in a place where water damage is least likely to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the manufacturer will not repair or pay for water damage.

7.A grounded, 120V electrical outlet is needed within 10 feet of the softener. See Fig. 3. This is to plug in the transformer. The softener has a 10 foot power cable. Be sure the outlet and transformer are in an inside place, to protect from wet weather. Use a continuously "live" outlet, which cannot be acci- dentally switched off.

8.When installing in an outside location, you must take the steps necessary to assure the softener, installa- tion plumbing, and wiring, are protected from the

elements, direct sunlight, contamination, vandalism, etc.
