1. SAFETY
: When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including:
1.1 WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they
are closely supervised at all times
1.2 WARNING!
Risk of electric shock.
Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Contact qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI and that
your installation meets local electrical codes, including grounding of water system components.
1.3 WARNING!
Risk of electric shock.
Do not bury electric cords. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and
other equipment. Replace damaged cords immediately. Do not use extension cords.
1.4 WARNING!
Risk of electric shock.
Install at least 10 feet (3.0m) from inside wall of water enclosure using non-metallic plumbing.
Do not install this controller in a location accessible to the public.
1.5 WARNING!
Risk of Chemical Overdose/Exposure.
Removing power from circulating pump must also remove power from the controller.
Provide a properly located outlet controlled by the circulating pump circuit.
1.6 WARNING!
Risk of electric shock/pinching/chemical exposure.
Remove power sources or lockout circuit prior to performing maintenance on controller.
1.7 WARNING!
Risk of Chemical Overdose/Exposure.
Use a device such as a flow switch to shut off power from the controller in the event of circulating
pump failure. It is unsafe to automatically dispense chemicals into a circulating system that is not
running.
1.8 WARNING!
Risk of Chemical Exposure.
Pool water must be balanced and stabilized before operating this controller.
1.9 WARNING!
Risk of Chemical Overdose/Exposure.
Minimize amount of chemical on site that is available to dispense.
Size the feeder and container to pool/spa capacity.
Dilute chemical for small bodies of water.
1.10 WARNING!
Risk of Chemical Exposure.
Do not shut down circulation and control system immediately after using pool, spa or hot tub.
Systems must operate until water chemistry is stable. Systems must be restarted before water
chemistry is out of NSPI recommended ranges or water chemistry must be manually corrected.
1.11 WARNING!
Controller uses microprocessor.
Wireless communication equipment or other electrical devices operated in close proximity may
cause inadvertent actuation of chemical feed pumps.
