Before Installation
• The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignment but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
• Do not use petroleum jelly, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A
silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.
• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Thread seal tape is the preferred sealant
but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes.
Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on filter system.
• Install grounding strap on metal pipes if required.
• Ensure the system is protected against high pressure and extreme temperatures.
WARNINGS

assistance.

Locate the neutraliser in the supply line BEFORE the water heater.
•
DO NOT install the neutraliser in a location with temperatures below 0

Temperatures outside these limits may cause permanent damage and will also void the
warranty.

•
Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be
installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. (Ref. AS/NZS
