Think of the following points as [], you choose a place to put your

softener. (see FIG. 2).

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 wa-

ter pipe BEFORE THE WATER

HEATER. Temperature of wa-

ter going through the softener must not be more than 120°F

(49°C). Hot water will damage

inner softener parts. To reduce

_o

the risk of hot water backup, pip-

ing between the softener and

water heater should be as long

of a run as possible.

Keep outside faucets on hard

water to save soft water and _, salt.

o

o

Do not install in a place where the softener could

freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the

warranty by Sears, Roebuck and Co.

Put the softener in a place water damage is least

likely to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the

manufacturer will not repair or pay for water

damage.

A grounded, 120V electrical outlet, to plug the

transformer into is needed within 10 feet of the

softener (the softener has a 10 foot power cable).

Be sure the outlet and transformer are in an in-

side place, to protect from wet weather. So the softener always has electrical power, use a con-

tinuously "live" outlet, that cannot be acddental-

ly switched off.

When installing in an outside location, you must

take the steps necessary to assure the softener,

installation plumbing, and wiring, are as well

protected from the elements, contamination,

vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors.

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