* Place a Taste & Odor Filter UPSTREAM of a water softener on a chlorinated water supply FIG. 2 and DOWNSTREAM of a water softener on a non-chlorinated water supply. Questions? Call The Kenmore Water Line 1-800-426-9345 Typical WHERE TO INSTALL THE WATER SOFTENER Review the following points before you choose a place 1. Place as close as possible but always after, the pressure tank (well water) or water meter (city water). See Fig. 3. 2. Place as close as possible to a water drain such as a floor drain, laundry tub, sump or standpipe. See Fig. 3. 3. Connect to the house main water pipe BEFORE THE WATER HEATER. See Fig. 3. Temperature of water 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, piping between the softener and water heater should be as long of a run as possible. 4. Keep outside faucets on hard water to save soft water and salt. See Fig. 3. 5. Do not install in a place where the softener could freeze. Damage caused by freezing voids the warranty by Sears Brands Management Corporation. shutoff valve FIG. 3 Installation to put your softener. 6. Put the softener in a place where water damage is least likely to occur if it develops a leak. Sears or the manufacturer will not repair or pay for water damage. 7. A grounded, 120V electrical outlet is needed within 10 feet of the softener. See Fig. 3. This is to plug in the transformer. The softener has a 10 foot power cable. Be sure the outlet and transformer are in an inside place, to protect from wet weather. Use a continuously "live" outlet, which cannot be accidentally switched off. 8. When installing in an outside location, you must take the steps necessary to assure the softener, installation plumbing, and wiring, are protected from the elements, direct sunlight, contamination, vandalism, etc. Questions?

Make a list of all materials you will need and buy them before you begin to install the water softener.

Call The Kenmore Water Line 1-800-426-9345 PIPE,FITTINGS,OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED You must first decide how to run "in" and "out" pipes to the softener. Look at your house main water pipe at the point you will connect the softener. Is the pipe soldered copper, glued plastic, or threaded galvanized or brass? What is the pipe size? What kind of pipe and fittings is it easiest for you to work with, and what tools do you have? Now look at the common plans for "in" and "out" piping on soldered copper. See Fig. 6. Use it as a guide to plan what materials you will need. Get all the materials you will need before you start. Use Fig. 5 to make a plan drawing for your specific installation. "In" and "out" fittings included with the softener are 1" NPT threaded adaptors. You should maintain the same, or larger, pipe size as the water supply pipe, up to the softener inlet and outlet. Use copper, brass, galvanized or PVC plastic pipe and fittings for the "in" and "out" pipes. Be sure to check local codes. Note: If converting from galvanized to copper pipe use approved dielectric insulating connectors. ALWAYS install the bypass valve (that is included with the unit) or a three valve bypass. See Fig. 9 to13. Bypass valves let you turn off water to the softener if needed for repairs, but still have water in the house pipes. Drain tubing (3/8" inside diameter), is needed for the valve and salt tank drains. See Fig. 16. If a rigid valve drain is needed to comply with plumbing codes, you can buy the parts needed (see Fig. 16) to change the softener to a 1/2 inch minimum copper tubing drain.
