IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: 

•  The information, specifications and illustrations in this 

manual are based on the latest information available 

at the time of printing. The manufacturer reserves the 

right to make changes at any time without notice.

•  This manual is intended as a guide for service of the 

controller only. System installation requires information 

from a number of suppliers not known at the time of 

control manufacture. This product should be installed 

by a plumbing professional.

•  This product must be installed in compliance with all 

state and municipal plumbing and electrical codes. 

Permits may be required at the time of installation.

•  If daytime operating pressure exceeds 80 psi, 

nighttime pressures may exceed pressure limits. A 

pressure reducing valve must be installed if pressure 

exceeds 125 psi.  

•  Do not install the unit where temperatures may drop 

below 32°F (0°C) or above 110°F (43°C).  

•  Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. Black units will 

absorb radiant heat increasing internal temperatures. 

•  Do not strike the controller or any of the components.
•  Warranty of this product extends to manufacturing 

defects. Misapplication of this product may result 

in failure to properly condition water, or damage to 

product.

•  A prefilter should be used on installations in which free 

solids are present. 

•  Correct and constant voltage must be supplied to the 

controller to maintain proper function.
