installation
The Hydro-Lyte unit should be installed by a plumber or someone experienced in plumbing. The unit has 3/4 threaded inlets and outlets. Copper, PVC, or Pex may be used to place the unit on the incoming supply unit of the house.
Hydro-Lyte is 18" tall and 4" in diameter. Please allow at least a 12" clearance below the Hydro-Lyte for canister removal. The unit is equipped with a six foot standard 110V cord. The illustration shows a typical fitting sequence, but configurations may differ.
