1. PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL NOTES

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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 any plastic fittings should be done before connecting fittings 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.
• 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 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 or laying the tank on its side will cause media to enter the valve.
• Operating ambient temperature is between 35.6°F (2°C) and 120°F (49°C).
• Operating water temperature is between 39.2°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C).
• Working water pressure range is 0.14 to 0.35 MPa (20 – 50 PSI).
• Use only salts designed for water softening. Do not use ice melting, block, or rock salts.
• This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• Do not allow this water conditioning system to freeze. Damage from freezing will void this
water conditioning system's warranty.
• The materials used will fade or discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the
materials will degrade to cause system failures.
• The carbon filter removes organic pollutants (such as oxygen demand and
trichloromethane), odor (chlorine smell, etc.) and particulate matters. It does not remove
salt or viruses. Hence the treated water is not recommended for direct drinking.
• Do not leave the filter system unused for an extended period. Please turn off the water
supply valve if the filter system is not used for an extended period. After an extended
period of non-usage, please rinse the filter system thoroughly before use.
