GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The control valve and
fi
ttings are not designed to support the weight of the system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black
o-rings but is not necessary.
HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE, GASOLINE, ETC., MAY DAMAGE PRODUCTS THAT
CONTAIN O-RINGS OR PLASTIC COMPONENTS. EXPOSURE TO SUCH HYDROCARBONS MAY CAUSE THE
PRODUCTS TO LEAK. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT(S) CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT ON WATER SUPPLIES
THAT CONTAIN HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS KEROSENE, BENZENE, GASOLINE, ETC.
THIS WATER METER SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE PRIMARY MONITORING DEVICE FOR CRITICAL OR
HEALTH EFFECT APPLICATIONS
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Te
fl
on tape is recommended to be used on all threads.
Use of pipe dope may break down the plastics in the control valve.
When servicing the valve, water may leak from
the valve. Water from the valve may create a slip
hazard. Clean up water spills.
Disconnect from electrical power prior to
servicing the valve.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
• The plug-in Power adapter is for dry locations only
• The tanks should be on a
fi
rm, level surface
• Electrical: Use an uninterrupted outlet installed within 15 feet (4.57 meters) of the water conditioner.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes.
1. Locate the water conditioner so the distance between the drain and the water conditioner is as short as possible.
2. Regenerant tanks that must be re
fi
lled should be located where they are easily accessible. It is recommended a safety brine valve
be used.
3. Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater.
4. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and over
fl
ow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures
under 40° F (4° C).
5. The use of resin cleaners in a non-vented enclosure is not recommended.
Allow two feet of clearance to service WS2H and WS3 valves.
The valve will withstand transportation and storage temperatures of -13
˚
F (-25
˚
C) to 131
˚
F (55
˚
C) and for short periods up to 158
˚
F (70
˚
C). If valve has been exposed to freezing conditions let valve warm up to room temperature before running water through it.
The valve has been packaged to prevent damage from the effects of normal humidity, vibration and shock.
