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

24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a direct plug-in transformer (included). Provide an electrical outlet in accordance with NEC and local codes.

￿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).
