EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
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. Plumber
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 any plastic ttings should be done before
connecting ttings 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 ow 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 ttings, plumbing, or the bypass.
• It is not recommended to use sealants on the threads.
Use plumber tape on all threaded connections.
General
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• Keep the unit in the upright position. Do not turn on side,
upside down, or drop. Turning the tank upside down will
cause media to enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between 34°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 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 micro-biologically unsafe or of unknown
quality.
• When lling media tank, do not open water valve
completely. Fill tank slowly to prevent media from exiting
the tank.
• When installing the bypass water connection, connect
to the plumbing system rst. 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.
