A. WHERE TO INSTALL THE WATER SOFTENER
Think of the following points as [], Do not install in a place where the softener could
you choose a place to put your freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the
softener. (see FIG. 2). warranty by Sears, Roebuck and Co.
Place as close as possible to the
pressure tank (well water) or
water meter (city water).
Place as close as possible to a
water drain such as a floor
drain, laundry tub, sump or
standpipe.
Connect to the house main wa-
ter pipe BEFORE THE WATER
HEATER. Temperature of wa-
ter going through the softener
must not be more than 120°F
(49°C). Hot water will damage
inner softener parts. To reduce
the risk of hot water backup, pip-
ing between the softener and
water heater should be as long
of a run as possible.
Keep outside faucets on hard
water to save soft water and
salt.
o
Put the softener in a place water damage is least
likely to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the
manufacturer will not repair or pay for water
damage.
o
A grounded, 120V electrical outlet, to plug the
transformer into is needed within 10 feet of the
softener (the softener has a 10 foot power cable).
Be sure the outlet and transformer are in an in-
side place, to protect from wet weather. So the
softener always has electrical power, use a con-
tinuously "live" outlet, that cannot be acddental-
ly switched off.
_o
When installing in an outside location, you must
take the steps necessary to assure the softener,
installation plumbing, and wiring, are as well
protected from the elements, contamination,
vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors.
_, Keep the softener out of direct sunlight. The
sun's heat can melt plastic parts.
