Installation Notes
October 12, 2007 |
More and more often as sales increase, we are asked about installation instructions. Surprisingly, this is most often after the equipment is received by the customer. If you are able to locate and purchase the water treatment equipment that you need, rest assured that you will be able to find setup and assembly instructions for it on the web site as well.
Installation instructions do not come with our water softeners and automatic filter systems. The service manual that is included with them is written and published by the manufacturer and for the most part deal with the control valves only. They will only generally tell you how to connect it to your water supply, and there’s a very good reason for this. Every installation situation is going to be different. There are different plumbing materials and different plumbing codes for different parts of the country. While the Fleck, Autotrol and Clack equipment we carry will always meet or exceed any local plumbing requirement, the method of connecting them to your water pipes may not. For instance, some locations still allow the draining of water softeners to the ground surface, but this is not allowed in most areas. It is recommended and in most cases required, that you run your water softener drain line to an approved drain pipe with an air-gap. But for this reason and many others, it is impractical to compose installation instructions that are universal.
For system and equipment assembly, we have detailed instructions with photos available on the web site and a link to that location on every section of the web site that this information pertains to. For instance, if you are purchasing a Fleck 7000 water softener, there is are assembly and setup links right next to the “Buy” button. Another example is the Fleck 5600. Again, next to the “Buy” button there are links to the service manual, installation and assembly, specifications, configuration and options information and on that particular model, highly detailed assembly and hook up information.
For the rest of the water treatment equipment we sell, the manufacturer’s installation instructions should be used. Products such as chlorinators, UV filters and reverse osmosis systems come with complete and detailed instructions. If you do not understand something or need clarification with these instructions, please do not hesitate to contact us. All of the products we carry have been thoroughly tested and evaluated by us, and often times used by us.
But if you have questions pertaining to your specific plumbing configuration - while we do employ a master plumber for our area - please contact a plumber local to you. While we may have a great deal of experience “hooking up” our equipment in the West Michigan area, we cannot keep track of the various plumbing codes throughout the country.
In the same regard, even though Water Value Company cannot maintain a database of plumbing codes throughout the U.S., the manufacturer of the water treatment equipment does, and you can rest assured that the equipment we sell here will meet or exceed any local water treatment equipment requirements.
