Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures

Step 1

Prepare the Placement Area

A. Make sure the placement area is clean.

B. Turn off the electricity and water supply to the water heater. For gas water heaters, turn the

gas cock to “Pilot.”

C. Examine the inlet plumbing to ensure that the pipe is not plugged with lime, iron, or any

other substance. Clean or replace plugged plumbing.

D. Make sure the inlet/outlet and drain connections meet the applicable state and local codes.

E. Check the arrows on the bypass valve to ensure that the water flows in the proper direction.

See Bypass Valve.

Caution: Do not plumb the appliance in backward.

F. Place the appliance in the desired location using Figure 2 as a guide.

G. For most installations, install the appliance after the pressure tank and any water filter

appliance or water meter and before the water heater unless otherwise recommended.

When installing a carbon filter for well water, place the filter after any water conditioning

appliance unless otherwise recommended.

Caution: If less than 10' of pipe connects the water treatment appliance(s) to the water

heater, install a check valve between the water treatment appliance and the water heater as

close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the water heater has an adequately rated

temperature and pressure safety relief valve.

H. For outside installations, the appliance should be enclosed so it is protected from the

weather.
