Mark the proposed layout
Show tank, brine container, bypass and cartridge access before approving the location. Ask whether future component replacement will require moving unrelated equipment. Photos and rough dimensions help the installer plan a site visit but do not replace a physical assessment.
Separate maintenance flows
Ask where regeneration, backwash and overflow water will go and have the provider confirm compliant site-specific arrangements. These lines serve different roles. For a well system, supply during maintenance cycles can constrain the design.
Keep the emergency instructions
Request clear identification of the bypass and isolation points plus manufacturer operating guidance. The owner should know whom to contact for a leak or service issue. Do not improvise cross-connections or drain arrangements to fit a location that was never included in the quoted scope.
The raw well and backwash supply
On a Loxahatchee private-well property, keep the well, pump and existing treatment sequence in the same assessment. Photograph each stage in the direction of flow and label any sample point before the equipment. Describe whether the well also supplies irrigation and whether the household notices changes while other water is running. Raw-well testing and available maintenance flow can alter the proposed sequence. A municipal city report or a neighbor’s installation does not specify your well system.
