Installation

To ensure proper dispensing of the phosphate into the hard water treatment system:

  1. Install a shut-off valve in front and behind the Scaltrol unit.
  2. Prevent the unit and water line from freezing.
  3. Install the top of the unit in a horizontal position.

Installation Example

Installation of SC-100 in a tight space. The original blue pipe was 8″ long — not allowing enough room to install the larger model SC-100 without running lines up to create more space. A shut-off valve was added before the unit. An additional shut-off valve is recommended after the unit but was omitted here because the installation is over a concrete floor and a little water spillage when changing the filter would not be problematic.
