Installation & Operation Manual
The Proper Order To Install Water Treatment Equipment
Location Requirements
Consider the following when selecting an installation
location for the Whole Home Water Filtration System.
 Do not operate the Whole Home Water Filtration
System where freezing temperatures occur. Do not
attempt to treat water over 120ºF. Freezing temper-
atures or hot water damage voids the warranty.
 To condition all water in the home, install the Whole
Home Water Filtration System close to the water
supply inlet, and before all other plumbing connec-
tions, except outside water pipes.
 Install the Whole Home Water Filtration System
between the home’s incoming water supply and the
water softener, if one is being used (See Figure 3).
 A nearby drain is needed to carry away Clean Rinse
discharge water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub,
sump, standpipe, or other options (check your local
codes). See "Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve
Drain Requirements" sections. If a drain is not
available, it is still possible to operate the Whole
Home Water Filtration System in a manual Clean
Rinse mode. See “Operating in Manual Clean
Rinse Mode.” The automatic Clean Rinse must be
disabled if the Whole Home Water Filtration System
will not be connected to a drain (See Page 7).

 The Whole Home Water Filtration System works on
24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a
direct plug-in transformer (included). Provide an
electrical outlet in accordance with NEC and local
codes.
 Do not install the Whole Home Water Filtration
System on a hot water line (See Figure 3, below).
 Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun
heat may cause distortion or other damage to non-
metallic parts.
