B . Ex amine the inlet plumbing to ensure that the pipe is not plug g ed with lime, iron, or any other sub-

stance. Clean or replace plug g ed plumbing .

Note

: A minimum three-quarter-inch plumbing is required between the pressure tank and the filter for

the filter to function properly.

C. Place your appliance in the desired location using the following diag ram as a g uide. The diag ram

applies to basement, slab, crawl space, and outside installations.

D . F or most installations, install the filter after the pressure tank or water meter and before the water

heater and any water softener appliance unless otherwise recommended. W hen installing the 9 00CF

Carbon F ilter for

ell water

, place the filter after any water softener appliance unless otherwise recom-

mended. Contact the H elpL ine for further assistance in determining the proper installation sequence.

Caution: If less than 10 feet of pipe connects the water treatment appliance(s) to the water heater,

then a check valve must be installed between the water treatment appliance and the water heater.

Install the check valve as close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the water heater has an

adequately rated temperature and pressure safety relief valve.

Helpful Installation Tips Plastic (PVC/CPVC) Pipe Joining Procedures (cont.) D. Inspection, Cleaning, and Priming—Inspect the inside of the pipe and fitting sockets and remove dirt, grease, or moisture with a clean dry cloth. If wiping fails to clean the surfaces, use a chemical cleaner. Check for possible damage such as splits or cracks and replace if necessary. Use purple primer to penetrate and soften the bonding surfaces of the PVC or CPVC pipe and fittings.
