SECTION 1: BEFORE INSTALLATION
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use instructions before installation and use of this water treatment system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with existing state or local plumbing codes.
ELECTRICAL
There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter, motor, or controller. In the event of a failure, these should be replaced.
1) All electrical connections must be completed according to local codes.
2) Use only the power AC adapter that is supplied.
3) The power outlet must be grounded.
4) To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its power source.
MECHANICAL
1) Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, oils, or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100% silicone lubricants.
2) Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.
3) All plumbing must be completed according to local codes.
4) 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.
5) Observe drain line requirements.
6) Do not use lead-based solder for sweat solder connections.
7) The drain line must be a minimum of 1/2 inch diameter. Use 3/4 inch pipe if the backwash fl ow rate is greater than 7 gpm (26.5 lpm) or the pipe length is
greater than 20 ft (6 m).
8) Do not support the weight of the system on the control valve fi ttings, plumbing or the bypass.
9) It is not recommended to use sealants on the threads. Use thread tape on the threads of the 1 inch NPT elbow, the drain line connections, and other NPT
