5. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

LOCATION

The Well-X1is designed for indoor and outdoor installations. The NEMA 3R enclosure can be installed in direct weather. If installed outdoors, be sure the following conditions are met:

Do not install where ambient temperatures can drop below freezing or exceed 120° F.

Ensure a Tuf Kotemodel is selected (Example: WX1-302TK) for outdoor installations. This proprietary coating is specifically designed to withstand outdoor applications.

Use water-tight: wiring conduit, wire nuts and conduit connections as dictated by applicable codes and ordinances.

Protect the piping from mechanical damage.

Install the relief valve blow down tube where venting water will not cause personal injury or damage the surrounding property.

Drip Pan and Drain: To avoid leaking and/or property damage, install with a drip pan connected to an adequate working drain kept clear at all times.

ORIENTATION

Ensure the installation meets all applicable local codes and is installed by a qualified professional. Additionally, the following should be noted.

This unit is designed for vertical installation above ground only.

Do not install horizontally or directly bury the unit. The Well- X1may be installed below grade in a well pit or other suitable enclosure. Do not locate in an area where leaking or flooding could cause property damage to surrounding areas.

Check codes to determine if there are any height requirements pertaining to the Well-X1. Particularly, ensure the bottom drain meets these requirements. If restrictions are imposed on the proximity of drain connections to the floor, the unit may be elevated on blocks or the bottom drain tube can be removed and plugged, after which a sampling tap may be installed in the water lines near the top of the Well-X1.
