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 vaseline, 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 Teflon*
tape on the threads of the 1-inch NPT elbow, the drain line
connections, and other NPT threads.

General
• 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.

(49°C).
• Operating water temperature is between 34°F (1°F) and 100°F (38°C).
