IMPORTANT NOTICE
Pay Special Attention to the Following Points
• Installation must be made within a protected area covered from the elements
and freezing. In areas where it is common practice to bury the unit in the
ground, the unit must be protected from direct sunlight, rain, dust, flooding,
snow and freezing. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
• Check plumbing inlet and outlet to ensure the proper flow of water through the
unit. Match plumbing inlet and outlet with arrows located on the sides of the
valve head and on the by-pass valve (especially if replacing an existing unit).
• Make sure the unit is plugged into a 115 volt grounded outlet which contains a
fuse or circuit breaker of 20 amps or less.
• Do not run 1/2” I.D. semi-rigid drain tube over 20 running feet. If over 20 ft.,
increase drain line tubing size to 3/4” I.D. for the entire length of tube.
• Initially fill salt brine tank only 3/4 full with salt. (Do not pack full.)
• If any red rust stains are apparent, mix Super Iron Out® with the salt. As an
alternative, there are types of salt available that contain iron control agents.
• After installing the unit, manually regenerate unit, following the control valve
instruction manual.
• Make sure control head is correctly set for your specific water needs.
• If more than one unit is being installed, the regeneration/back wash times
should be staggered.
