COLD WATER PIPE GROUND

 

The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electric outlets in the home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance plugged into the outlet. If you didn't install a three valve bypass (Figure 13), the cold water pipe ground is broken.

To restore the ground, install the ground clamp to the in- let and outlet pipes. Be sure the pipes are clean under the clamps and wire for good contact.

IMPORTANT:

Be sure the cold water pipe has direct metal to metal con- tact all the way to the ground. Plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating parts such as hoses, fittings, wash- ers or gaskets can break the direct metal to metal con- tact. Also check the water meter (city water) or the well pump. Install a #4 copper jumper wire, clamped tightly on both ends, across insulated parts (Figure 15).

The filter works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electric power. The in- cluded transformer changes standard 120 volt AC house power to 24 volts. You must plug the transformer into a grounded, 120 volt outlet only. Be sure the outlet is al- ways "live" so someone cannot turn it off by mistake.

NOTE:

The included transformer is made for inside use only. Be sure the electrical outlet you plug the transformer into is inside, to protect from weather (see page 7).
