Before Installation

Professional Installation Required

• Installation requires shutting water oﬀ to home, cutting home water supply pipe

and using a welding torch to add piping and ﬁttings. Specialised tools and skills are

required, this must be completed by a qualiﬁed tradesperson.

Make Sure Your Water Has Been Thoroughly Tested

• An analysis of your water should be made prior to the selection of your water

conditioning equipment. Your dealer will generally perform this service for you, and

may send a sample to the factory for analysis and recommendations. Enter your

analysis information on page 4 for your permanent record.

• Soeners are designed to reduce hardness but can handle reasonable amounts

of soluble iron if consideration is given to content when selecting model and

regeneration settings. For best results contact Puretec to discuss.

Install Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly

Select the location of your water soener with care. Various conditions which contribute

to proper location are as follows:

• Install as close as possible to a drain.

• Install in correct relationship to other water treatment equipment. Contact Puretec

for assistance.

• Install the soener in the supply line BEFORE the water heater. Temperatures above

43.3°C (110°F) will damage the soener and void the warranty.

• DO NOT install the soener in a location where freezing temperatures occur.

Freezing may cause permanent damage and will also void the warranty.

• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur without installing an

arrestor.

• Allow suﬃcient space around the installation for easy servicing. Provide a non-

switched 240V power source for the control valve.

• Protect from pressure vacuum with a suitable vacuum breaker.

• Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be

installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. (Ref. AS/NZS

3500.1:2021, Clause 3.3.4).

• For point of entry installations an approved backﬂow prevention device must be

installed.
