Installation Instructions
TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY
1. Close the main water supply valve, near the well
pump or water meter.
2. Open all faucets to drain water from the house
pipes.
NOTE: Be sure not to drain water from the water
heater, as damage to the water heater ele-
ments could result.
MOVE THE CENTRAL WATER FILTRATION
SYSTEM INTO PLACE
1. Move the Central Water Filtration System into instal-
lation position. Set it on a level surface.
2. Remove top cover.
3. Hang cover from post on front of rim, as shown in
Figure 5. Avoid allowing cover to hang from wires.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
Central Water Filtration System.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
1. Loosely assemble any pipe and fittings needed from
the main water supply to the inlet and outlet ports of
the Central Water Filtration System valve.
IMPORTANT:
= Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to pre-
vent putting stress on the Central Water Filtration
System valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress from
misaligned or unsupported plumbing may cause
damage to the valve.
= Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes
squared and straight.
= Be sure incoming water supply pipe goes to the
Central Water Filtration System valve INLET side.
Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve. Trace the
water flow direction to be sure.
2. Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type
of pipe as described on the next page.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Prior to installation on metallic plumbing,
securely install two grounding clamps and a
#4 copper wire per installation instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or electrical shock.
GROUNDING INFORMATION
(for Installations on Metal Pipe)
The house main incoming water pipe is often used to
ground electrical outlets in the home. Grounding pro-
tects you from electrical shock. Installing the water
softener with a plastic bypass valve will break this
ground. Before beginning installation, purchase and
securely install two grounding clamps and a #4 copper
wire across the location where the softener will be,
tightly clamping it at both ends, as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: Check local plumbing and electrical codes
for proper installation of the ground wire.
The installation must conform to them. In
Massachusetts, plumbing codes of
Massachusetts shall be conformed to.
Consult with your licensed plumber.
