Location Selection

Location of a water treatment system is important . The
following conditions are required:
• Level platform or floor.
• Ambient temperatures over 34°F (1°C) and below 120°F
(49°C) .
• Water pressure below 125 psi (8 .61 bar) and above
20 psi (1 .4 bar) .
• In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi
(6 .89 bar) .
• Constant electrical supply to operate the controller .
• Total minimum pipe run to water heater of ten feet (three
meters) to prevent backup of hot water into system .
• Local drain or tub for discharge as close as possible .
• Water line connections with shutoff or bypass valves .
• Must meet any local and state codes for site of
installation .
• Valve is designed for minor plumbing misalignments . Do
not support weight of system on the plumbing .
• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before
attaching plastic valve to the plumbing .
• Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding
salt to tank .

Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the OM26K system be installed
indoors . When the water conditioning system must be installed
outdoors, several items must be considered .
• Moisture — The valve and controller are rated for NEMA
3 locations . Falling water should not affect performance .
The system is not designed to withstand extreme humidity
or water spray from below . Examples are: constant heavy
mist, near corrosive environment, upwards spray from
sprinkler .
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will fade or discolor
over time in direct sunlight . The integrity of the materials
will not degrade to cause system failures .
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures may
cause damage to the valve or controller .
Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve .
This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing .
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed
to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical
areas .
