Safety Information
• Observe all warnings that appear in this manual.
• Please review the entire Installation and Operation
Manual before installing the water conditioning
system.
• As with all plumbing projects, it is recommended
that a trained professional water treatment dealer
install the water conditioning system. Please follow
all local plumbing codes for installing this water
conditioning system.
WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard. Use
two or more people to move and install
the conditioner. Failure to do so can result
in injury (including back injury).
• 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.
• This water conditioning system is to be used only for
potable water.
• Inspect the water conditioning system for carrier
shortage or shipping damage before beginning
installation.
• Use only lead-free solder and flux, as required by
federal and state codes, when installing soldered
copper plumbing.
• Use caution when installing soldered metal piping near
the water conditioning system. Heat can adversely
affect the plastic control valve and bypass valve.
• 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 pipe dope type
sealants on the valve body. Do not use pliers or
pipe wrenches.
• Do not use petroleum-based lubricants such as
Vaseline, oils, or hydrocarbon-based lubricants. Use
only 100% silicone lubricants.
• Use only the power transformer supplied with this
water conditioning system.
• All electrical connections must be completed
according to local codes.
• The power outlet must be grounded.
Install an appropriate grounding strap across the inlet and
outlet piping of the water conditioning system to ensure
that a proper ground is maintained.
WARNING: Dry location use only, unless
used with a Listed Class 2 Power Supply
suitable for outdoor use.
• To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its
power source.
• Observe drain line requirements. 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 5 gpm
(19 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.
• Do not allow this water conditioning system to
freeze. Damage from freezing will void this water
conditioning system's warranty.
• Operating ambient temperature: 34° to 120°F
(1° to 49°C).
• Operating water temperature: 35° to 100°F
(1.7° to 38°C).
• Operating water pressure range : 20 to 125 psi
(1.38 to 8.62 bar). In Canada the acceptable
operating water pressure range is 20 to 100 psi
(1.38 to 6.89 bar).
WARNING: The valve and tank
components of this Pro Elite unit have
been assembled and tightened to the
proper factory torque specifications. Over
tightening may result in improper valve,
probe and tank alingnment and may
damage the tank O-ring (PN1010154).
• Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not
turn upside down or drop. Turning the tank upside
down or laying the tank on its side can cause media
to enter the valve.
• Ensure that all wiring and plumbing connections on
the mineral and brine tanks are installed correctly.
Use only regenerants designed for water conditioning. Do
not use ice melting salt, block salt or rock salt.
