LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Consider the following when selecting an installation location for the Central Water Filtration System.
Do not operate the Central Water Filtration System where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120ºF. Freezing temperatures or hot water damage voids the warranty.
To condition all water in the home, install the Central Water Filtration System close to the water supply inlet, and before all other plumbing connec- tions, except outside water pipes.
A nearby drain is needed to carry away Clean Rinse discharge water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub, sump, standpipe, or other options (check your local codes). See "Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve Drain Requirements" sections. If a drain is not available, it is still possible to operate the Central Water Filtration System in a manual Clean Rinse mode. See “Operating in Manual Clean Rinse Mode.” The automatic Clean Rinse must be disabled if the Central Water Filtration System will not be connected to a drain (See Page 8).
The Central Water Filtration System works on

Do not install the Central Water Filtration System on a hot water line (See Figure 3 below).
Install the Central Water Filtration System between the home’s incoming water supply and the water softener, if one is being used (See Figure 3).
