Gathering Your Components
Before getting started, make sure you have all the necessary parts:
- Filtersorb SP3 media for scale prevention
- Enpress mineral tank with Vortech bottom distribution plate
- C-Series in/out head with bypass valve
- 1 inch NPT PVC plumbing adapters for simple connections
- 1 inch by 10 inch Big Blue housing with included GAC pre-filter
- Mounting bracket for the pre-filter housing
Step 1: System Placement and Water Shut-off
Identify a suitable location for your system, preferably close to your main water line and easily accessible for future maintenance. Turn off your main water supply to prevent water flow during installation. Relieve any remaining pressure in the pipes by opening a faucet downstream of the system site.
Why This System Fits
This system is specifically designed to tackle the common issues faced by residents in this area, particularly scale buildup and related water quality concerns. With its advanced technology, the Nelsen Scale Prevention System effectively mitigates the effects of hard water. It prevents mineral deposits, which can lead to a myriad of problems, ensuring your plumbing and appliances remain in top condition. By addressing these water quality challenges, it provides a more economical and environmentally friendly solution for keeping your home’s water clean and safe.
Step 3: Connecting the Mineral Tank
Position the Enpress mineral tank with its Vortech bottom distribution plate in the chosen location. Connect the system's in/out heads to the tank, ensuring the flow direction matches your plumbing layout. Use the C-Series in/out head and bypass valve to facilitate future maintenance or system regeneration if needed.
Step 4: Plumbing the System
Connect the PVC adapters from your main water supply to the inlet of the system. The outlet should lead towards your household plumbing. Tighten all fittings securely to prevent leaks but avoid over-tightening which could damage fittings. Use Teflon tape on threaded connections if necessary to ensure a watertight seal.
Step 5: System Startup and Flushing
Once all connections are secure, turn on the main water supply gradually. Check for leaks at each connection. Flush the pre-filter housing by opening a downstream faucet and allowing water to run for a few minutes, clearing out any installation debris. If your system includes a bypass valve, ensure it is in the correct position to allow water flow through the media bed.
Step 6: Final Checks and Adjustments
Inspect all fittings and connections for leaks. Adjust the bypass valve as necessary to optimize flow and pressure. Verify water flow through the system is steady and clear. No electrical connections are needed, making setup straightforward and low maintenance.
Maintenance Tips
Since the Nelsen Scale Prevention System uses template-assisted crystallization, it requires minimal ongoing upkeep. Periodic inspection of fittings and the pre-filter assembly is recommended. Replace the GAC pre-filter as needed according to your household water usage. The salt-free media does not require regeneration or chemical treatment, providing a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution for scale prevention.
Conclusion
Installing the Nelsen Scale Prevention System is a practical process that, when done correctly, offers reliable protection against limescale buildup. Following this setup guide ensures your plumbing and fixtures remain free from damage caused by scale, without the need for salt or harsh chemicals. Enjoy long-lasting, efficient plumbing with this environmentally friendly scale prevention solution.
