Can this be installed on a plastic water pipe and I have a chlorination system. Will this affect how this unit works?

It actually works a bit better on plastic. Should not affect your chlorinization.

to the best of my knowledge R/O water will eat away at any metal and you need to use it with pvc piping. I am NOT a plumber but if I were you I would talk to an expert.

I have it on my culligan drinking water system. It only is connected by the blue tube from the tank to the fitting.

It'll most likely react violently and corrode the metal and damage the disposal unit. I wouldn't try it.... what I would try is grinding small amounts of ice... it may free up the pipe and clean the unit too.

Yes, it can be installed on PVC, copper, iron or galvanized pipe up to one and one half inch in diameter.

I don't believe it's designed to work with water as it is not watertight between the plastic inlets and the valve body. The one I replaced had rusted due to water infiltration.

As long as the line coming from your home water supply has a valve you can shut off and then install the included tubing and water filter, it should work just fine.

I am not sure about it. I install mine in the standing shower onto the overhead pipe.

Mine is mounted on a flat metal plate off a pipe fence. The waterer has two bolts in the back, so as long as you mount it to a board or metal flange, it will work. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately I am uncertain if it is suitable for PVC pipes because I have metal pipes, but this stuff works great and instantly. Be careful when using the products because after the hot water is poured - the fumes can be toxic and you start to cough and your eyes begin to get watery, so wear a mask. Alternatively in my opinion i think as long as you don't use the product excessively and you are removing a difficult clog this product used without excess should be fine.

I don't know. I removed it as it doesn't do a good job of distributing the chlorine. Chlorine need to diseminate down to be eftective and get distributed. With this you'd have to have something stirring the water

I don't know. Since I installed mine I have not had a problem. Given it does have moving parts and the possibility of sediment/hard water binding up the works then I am sure they can.

It's a plastic housing around a fluorescent tube. I welded threads on the top so mine flows backwards. I would imagine no damage would be done as long as the unit isn't under pressure. I run mine slowly to insure a complete sterilization. I use the same system on my 30 gallon aquaponic herb garden as I do my 2 300 gallon green house setups.

Unfortunately no you must replace the bottom filter and plastic(one piece).the top piece of plastic connected to the shower head and the water source pipe may be reused.

According to ads and the instruction manual...YES. In fact we have ours located on a polybutylene pipe, and it works just fine.

You could do it a few different ways. The way you described your series sounds like it will work. I put the pressure regulator directly on the source so none of my components get damaged. The filter may last longer if it is inline on the "soft side" of the softener since there would be less particulate in the water (in theory). I would also recommend keeping the softener in the shade because it heats up quickly on a sunny day! Enjoy your shower!

I dont know..but I had my Berkey filtered water tested and it had the same chlorine as my tap water so Berkey does not work for chlorine...which to me is a major problem
