General Warnings and Safety Information

Electrical
There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter, motor, or
controller. In the event of a failure, these should be replaced.
• All electrical connections must be completed according to
local codes.
• Use only the power AC adapter that is supplied.
• The power outlet must be grounded.
• To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its power
source.
Mechanical
• Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum
jelly, oils, or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100%
silicone lubricants.
• All plastic connections should be hand tightened. Teflon
tape may be used on connections that do not use an O-ring
seal. Do not use pliers or pipe wrenches.
• All plumbing must be completed according to local codes.
• Soldering near the drain line should be done before
connecting the drain line to the valve. Excessive heat will
cause interior damage to the valve.
• Observe drain line requirements.
• Do not use lead-based solder for sweat solder connections.
• The drain line must be a minimum of 1/2-inch diameter.
Use 3/4-inch pipe if the backwash flow rate is greater than
7 GPM (26.5 Lpm) or the pipe length is greater than 20 feet
(6 m).
• Do not support the weight of the system on the control
valve fittings, plumbing, or the bypass.
• It is not recommended to use sealants on the threads. Use
plumber tape on the threads of the 1-inch NPT elbow, the
drain line connections, and other NPT threads.
• Install appropriate grounding strap across the inlet and
outlet metal piping of the water conditioning system to
ensure that a proper ground is maintained.
WARNING: Dry location use only, unless
used with a Listed Class 2 Power Supply
suitable for outdoor use.
General
• It is strongly recommended that the installation be
performed by a licensed plumber.
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn
upside down or drop. Turning the tank upside down will
cause media to enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between 35°F (1°C)
and 120°F (49°C).
• Operating water temperature is between 35°F (1°C)
and 100°F (38°C).
• Working water pressure range is 20 to 125 psi (1.38 to
8.6 bar). In Canada the acceptable working water pressure
range is 20 to 100 psi (1.38 to 6.89 bar).
• Use only regenerant salts designed for water softening.
Do not use ice melting, block, or rock salts.
• Follow state and local codes for water testing. Do not use
water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
• When filling media tank, do not open water valve
completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent media from exiting
the tank.
• When installing the water connection (bypass) connect to
the plumbing system first. Allow heated parts to cool and
cemented parts to set before installing any plastic parts.
Do not get primer or solvent on O-rings, nuts, or the valve.
WARNING: The valve and tank components
of this unit have been assembled and tightened
to the proper factory torque specifications. Over
tightening may result in improper valve, probe
and tank alignment and may damage the tank
O-ring (PN 1010154).
WARNING:
or more people to move and install the conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in injury (including back
injury).
