INSTALL GROUNDING CLAMP
The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the home. To maintain this ground, use the ground clamp kit included in the parts bag. Install the ground clamp across the inlet and outlet metal pipes (see Fig. 14). Make sure good contact is made between the pipe and the clamps.
INSTALL COVERS
After installing your water softener, put the covers on. Angle the covers so the top cover clips onto the back first, then bring down in front and clip on the tabs inside the rim and lower the salt lid closed (See Fig. 5).
CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL POWER
The softener works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power. The included transformer changes standard 120 volt AC house power to 24 volts. You must plug the water soft- ener's transformer into a grounded, 120 volt outlet only. Be sure the outlet is always "live" so it cannot be switched off by mistake.
NOTE: The electrical outlet you plug the transformer into must be indoors, protected from weather.
