Operating instructions

PREPARATION 5
Temperature - Do not install the unit where it might freeze, or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct sunlight.
LOCATION
Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines and 4 feet (1.3
meters) above for service access and filling the salt container.
Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of bumps or irregularities. Bumps, cracks, stones and
other irregularities can cause the salt storage tank bottom to crack when filled with salt and water.
Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer
to the Drain Line Chart, Table 1 (page 10), for maximum drain line length.
NOTICE: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or airgap. Observe all local plumbing codes and drain
restrictions. The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
Electrical facilities - A 10-foot cord and wall mount plug-in transformer are provided. The customer should provide
a receptacle, preferably one not controlled by a switch that can be turned off accidentally. Observe local electrical
codes.
