General Residential Customer Information
LOCATION: The WATERBOY™ usually gets installed at the main line
after the pressure regulator. Sometimes there is an existing loop in the
garage where a Water Softener has been, that is also where we would
install the system.
If the main shut off is on the front yard or side yard we have a few
options to install the system there. We can run the copper around to the
side of the yard and then back to the main or we can bury the unit ½ way
down in the ground. The plumber will assess the most convenient
location and together you can decide which is best.
PRESSURE REGULATOR: The WATERBOY™ needs to run within
40-80 psi to stay within the warranty requirements. When the plumber
installs the unit, he will check the current pressure of the house and then
adjust accordingly. If there is an old PRV or it is not working, the plumber
will recommend installing a new one. CAUTION: Water pressure is not
to exceed 80 PSI or it voids the warranty. Water temperature is not to ex-
ceed 90F. The unit can not be subjected to freezing conditions, otherwise
needs to be blanketed and insulated from weather.
WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 40 pounds of pressure is required
for backwash valve to operate effectively .
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C),
110 outlet supply is required. Note: Other voltages are available. Please
make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before
installation.
BACKFLUSH LINE: A ½” PVC backush line will be installed at the top
of the system to allow ushing of the media beds once a week. This
happens at a preset time and will take approximately 15 minutes for the
entire process to be completed.
1. Wait for 24 hours to drink the water after install. Let all the taps run
and ll up the tank.
2. Backush is 2:00 AM default time, and fully customizable to
customer’s needs. It ushes once a week for @ 16 minutes.
3. Limited Lifetime warranty. No maintenance for 10-15 years depending
on the size of the system.
BYPASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve
if unit is not equipped with one.
