benefits of this system, please read the contents of this Owners Manual.

SYSTEM INFORMATION

POWER REQUIREMENTS
The computer board receives power from an external wall-mount transformer, supplied with each
system.
Voltage: The voltage supplied to the computer board is 24V AC.
Frequency: The line frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
WATER PRESSURE
A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for proper operation of the system. The stated
operating pressure range is 20 psi - 120 psi (138 kPa - 828 kPa).
BYPASS VALVE
The bypass valve enables the customer to bypass the system in situations of: emergency leaks in the
equipment, service calls and/or outdoor water use.
TEMPERATURE OPERATING RANGES
Operating Temperature Range: 40° F - 100° F (4.4° C - 38° C)
Storage Range: The computer board can be stored at temperatures from -20°C (-4°F) to 70°C (158°F).
Humidity: The computer board operates properly with relative humidity from 10% to 95%, non-
condensing.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Location: The water filter and control cannot be exposed to outdoor elements, such as direct sunlight
or atmospheric precipitation. The system may be installed in a covered, open-air structure such as a
carport, residential or commercial building. Weather covers are also available through the Order
Department ( part number 72370 or 71345).

APPLICATION LIMITATIONS

A neutralizer filter is designed to raise the pH of low pH (acidic) water to a neutral level.
The self-sacrificing mineral dissolves and must be replaced periodically. The NEUTRALIZER uses
calcium carbonate mineral for waters of moderately low pH.
• Incoming hardness should not exceed 5 grains per gallon. (At hardness levels above 5, the system
will still function, but the media will become caked, reducing its life.)
• Incoming pH range: 6.0 - 7.0
• For optimum performance, service flow rate should not exceed the number shown in table 1.
• Proper backwash is required to maintain the life of the filter media. If installed on a well, check to
make sure the well pump can provide a drain flow rate of 6 gallons per minute, as shown in table 1.
The filter media will eventually become exhausted or consumed and will need to be
replaced. Your local dealer can give you specific replacement schedules based on your
water usage and incoming water quality.
