CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• 

Read and follow 

Use instructions before installation and use of this water treatment system.

•  Installation and use 

MUST

 comply with existing state or local plumbing codes. Use fl exible tubing connections to connect the valve to household plumbing 

(as shown in schematic). 

• 

Protect from freezing

, relieve pressure and drain system when temperatures are expected to drop below 33°F (0.6°C).

• 

Do not

 install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110°F (43.3°C).

• 

Do not

 install on hot water supply lines.  The maximum operating water temperature of this Acid Neutralizer System is 110°F (43.3°C).

• 

Do not

 install if water pressure exceeds 100 psi 

(689 kPa)

.  If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve. 

Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.

• 

Do not

 install where water hammer conditions may occur.  If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester.  Contact a plumb-

ing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.

•  Where a backfl ow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.

• 

Do not

 use a torch or other high temperature sources near Acid Neutralizer System, cartridges, plastic fi ttings or plastic plumbing.

•  On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. 

Use PTFE thread tape only,

 pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.

•  Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.
• 

Do not

 install in direct sunlight or outdoors.

•  Mount system in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
•  Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• 

SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER

 after water is shut off.

• 

Do not

 install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum prevention.

• 

Do not

 install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum prevention.

• 

Do not

 apply heat to any fi tting connected to Bypass or Control Valve as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters.

•   Install on a fl at/level surface. It is also advisable to sweep the fl oor to eliminate objects that could pierce the media tank.

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:

•  Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water fl ow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water treatment 

equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.

IMPORTANT NOTES

IMPORTANT NOTES

•  Failure to follow instructions may result in water leakage and will void warranty.
