2A.WHERE TO INSTALL THE FILTER

Think of the following points as you choose a place to put your filter (See Figure 1).

•Place as close as possible to the pressure tank (well water) or water meter (city water).

•Place as close as possible to a water drain such as a floor drain, laundry tub, sump or standpipe.

Connect to the house main water pipe BEFORE THE WATER HEATER. Temperature of water going through the filter must not be more than 120°F (49°C).

•If a water softener, or other filter is installed, locate in the order shown in Figure 1, below.

Put the filter in a place water damage is lease likely to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the manufac- turer will not repair or pay for water damage.

A 120V electrical outlet, to plug the transformer into is needed within 10 feet ofthe filter (the filter has a 10 foot power cable). Be sure the outlet and transformer are in an inside place, to protect from wet weather. Sothe filter always has electrical power, use a contin- uously "live", grounded outlet, that cannot be acci- dently switched off.

When installing in an outside location, you must take the steps necessary to assure the filter, installation plumbing, and wiring, are as well protected from the elements, contamination, vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors.

•DO NOT install in a place where the filter could freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the war- ranty by Sears, Roebuck and Co.

Keep the filter out of direct sunlight. The sun's heat can melt plastic parts.
