ACID SAFETY
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE IMPORTANT ACID SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT :
It is important to follow basic safety precautions
when installing and using this electrical equipment,
including the following :
1. Ensure you read and follow all instructions.
2. WARNING - ALWAYS USE DILUTED ACID AT A
RATIO OF NOT LESS THAN 4 PARTS WATER TO
1 PART ACID.
3. WARNING - Do not allow children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all
times. This is to prevent accidental injury.
4. Keep all cables and tubes visible and do not bury
them. Also, position them so that they do not get
damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and
other equipment.
5. WARNING - To prevent electrical shock, acid
spillage or incorrect dosing, replace damaged
cords or tubes immediately.
6. Read these instructions and keep the instruction
manual in a safe place.
CAUTION :
Your warranty could become invalid should you fail
to observe the following :
1. The pH BOSS must be installed and operated as
specified.
2. Damage due to using undiluted or insufficiently
diluted acid is not covered by warranty.
3. Turn off the power to the pH BOSS before
replacing the peristaltic dosing pump squeeze
tube.
4. The life of the unit will be extended (as with most
other pool equipment) if it is placed indoors or in
an enclosed structure. This is recommended as
sunlight can damage the Liquid Crystal Display on
the face of the control unit. The LCD is covered
within the warranty on a pro-rata basis.
5. Always power the pH BOSS from a genuine
Bionizer power adaptor. An incorrect adaptor
could damage the pH BOSS and will void your

concrete etc, wash down with large amounts of
fresh water immediately. SEEK MEDICAL
ADVICE IF NECESSARY.
