Planning Installation
Select Installation Location
Consider all of the following when selecting an installation location for the unit.
- To condition all water in the home, install the unit close to the water supply inlet, and before all other plumbing connections, EXCEPT outside water pipes. Outside faucets should remain on hard water to avoid wasting conditioned water and salt.
- A nearby drain is needed to carry away regeneration discharge water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc., or other options (check your local codes).
- The unit works on 24 volts only. A transformer is included to reduce 120-60Hz household electrical power Provide an approved, grounded outlet within 10' of the unit. The unit includes a 10' power cable for connection between the transformer and the timer.
- Always install the unit BEFORE the water heater and after all other installed water conditioning equipment.

Optional Weather Protection
- If installing the unit in an outside location, be sure to provide protection from the elements, contamination, vandalism, and direct sunlight.
- An optional weather cover is available for outdoor installation.

Inlet - Outlet Plumbing Options
- Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to the softener for repairs if needed, but still have water in house pipes. ALWAYS INSTALL either a single bypass valve (included) or a 3 valve bypass system (not included). If you choose to install a 3 valve bypass, you will still need to use the included bypass valve to connect to the softener.
- Use 3/4" (minimum) pipe and fittings
- Use sweat copper, or threaded pipe, or PVC plastic pipe, or other approved plumbing.
