Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect electrical
power may result in injury or death. All local building and electrical codes must be followed.
Congratulations! You have decided to save money and the environment by installing the Water
Savor™ Controller. The Water Savor™ Controller is an electronic device that controls the amount of
water used by a flow-through by-pass humidifier; part of which would normally be wasted down the
drain.
The Water Savor™ Controller should be installed by a licensed technician. Failure to properly install
or operate the Water Savor™ may result in property damage, personal injury or humidity levels that are less than desired. Read instructions
carefully to safely achieve maximum humidity and water savings.
Safety questions regarding the Water Savor™ Controller may be directed to General Filters, Inc.
