Facts To Remember While Planning Your Installation:
1) All installation procedures MUST conform to local and state plumbing codes.
2) All water MUST pass through the Hydro-Charger Assembly, pressure tank and the Chem-Free Filter System, or refer
to the special instructions for a split-stream installation in Section 3. (System may malfunction resulting in property
damage if this instruction is ignored and warranty will be voided.)
3) If lawn sprinkling, a swimming pool, geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated
by the Chem-Free Reduction System, a larger model fi lter MUST be selected to accommodate the higher fl ow rate
demands of these items. The pumping rate of the well pump must be suffi cient to accommodate these items plus
the backwashing requirement of the fi lter. Consult your dealer for alternative instructions if the pumping rate is insuf-
fi cient.
4) Remember that the fi lter INLET is attached to the pipe that supplies water (i.e. runs to the pump), and the OUTLET is
the line that runs toward the hot water heater.
5) Before commencing the installation, it is advisable to study the existing piping system and to determine the size,
number and type of fi ttings required. Typical system schematics shown in these instructions (Figures 1) will be of
assistance.
NOTE: If the plumbing system is used as the ground leg of the electric supply, continuity should be maintained by
installing ground straps around any non-conductive plastic piping used in installation.
6) IMPORTANT: Always use thread tape on threaded plastic fi ttings.
CAUTION
On plastic fi ttings, use thread sealing tape only. Never use pipe sealant or pipe dope on plastic fi ttings.
CAUTION
Improper installation and use may result in property damage due to water leakage.
