SECTION 2: INSTALLATION

Proper installation sequence of water conditioning equipment is very important. Refer to the following diagram for your particular water supply.

Figure 1

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

•Read and follow Use instructions before installation and use of this water treatment system.

•Installation and use MUST comply with existing state or local plumbing codes.

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:

•Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water flow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water treatment equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.

Step 1

(a)Remove control valve by removing quick connect clamp and using a garden hose or bucket, to fill SOFTENER TANK with water (this filling method prevents air entrapment that can cause loss of resin during initial regeneration proce- dure). Replace control valve. Make sure clamp is reassembled as shown in Figure 2 "LATCH" arrows should point toward each other.

(b)Attach BYPASS VALVE/YOKE ASSEMBLY (Figure 3) using ADAPTER COUPLINGS, CLIPS and SCREWS to CONTROL VALVE (Figure 4). On Meter initiated models, attach METER between BYPASS VALVE and CONTROL VALVE (Figure 4).

Step 2

Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a PRIVATE WELL SYSTEM, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from complete system by opening nearest faucet to drain system.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

•SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.

Step 3

Figure 2. CLAMP ASSEMBLY

 

Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing INLET and OUTLET of BYPASS VALVE ASSEMBLY. Use flexible tubing connections to connect the valve to household plumbing (as shown in sche- matic).

Step 4

Solder or solvent weld plumbing. DO NOT apply heat to any fitting connected to BYPASS or

CONTROL VALVE as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters. MAKE CERTAIN

WATER FLOW ENTERS THROUGH INLET AND DISCHARGES THROUGH OUTLET.

NWS100M, NWS150, NWS150M, NWS200M, NWS200 specifications

3M is a leading brand in personal protective equipment, particularly known for its advanced respiratory solutions. Among its range, the 3M NWS series, which includes models NWS100, NWS200, NWS200M, NWS150M, and NWS150, stands out for its innovative features and user-friendly designs. These respiratory protection devices cater to various industrial and healthcare applications, providing reliable performance in demanding environments.

The 3M NWS100 model is designed for basic respiratory protection, featuring a lightweight and comfortable design that encourages prolonged use. Its simple structure allows for easy donning and doffing, making it an ideal choice for facilities where quick access to respiratory protection is essential. Equipped with a high-efficiency filter, the NWS100 effectively captures airborne particles, ensuring the user's safety against dust and other hazardous materials.

In contrast, the 3M NWS200 series incorporates additional features for enhanced protection. This model offers a dual-filter system, which significantly improves the user’s respiratory safety by providing superior filtration against various contaminants. The NWS200 is also equipped with an adjustable headband that ensures a snug fit, critical for maximizing both safety and comfort during wear.

The 3M NWS200M model takes this a step further with its ergonomic design tailored for use in higher-risk environments, where both comfort and efficacy are paramount. This variant features a full-face shield offering additional facial coverage, making it suitable for medical facilities where exposure to infectious agents is a concern. Furthermore, the NWS200M utilizes 3M’s proprietary filtration technology, boasting a higher capture efficiency for fine particles during aerosol-generating procedures.

The 3M NWS150M and NWS150 models share similar characteristics but are designed with slightly different user needs in mind. The NWS150M incorporates a moisture-wicking layer that enhances breathability, which is advantageous during extended wear. On the other hand, the NWS150, while still providing essential protection against particulate hazards, emphasizes a more economical option without sacrificing performance.

Together, the NWS series exemplifies 3M’s commitment to innovation in respiratory protection, ensuring that workers in various industries can access reliable and effective solutions tailored to their specific environments. Each model combines comfort, advanced filtration technology, and user-centric design to provide peace of mind in challenging working conditions. Whether in industrial settings or healthcare applications, the 3M NWS series offers robust solutions that prioritize the safety of users.
