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.
