SAFETY INFORMATION

Read the instructions carefully and learn the specific details regarding installation and use. Failure to follow them could

cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

• Make certain the electrical outlet is grounded by having it checked by an electrician or by using a UL Listed circuit

analyzer. Units are furnished with 3-prong grounded plugs to protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG AND NEVER

SPLICE OR CUT THE ELECTRICAL CORD.

• The outlet must be within reach of the power cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are

too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the unit and could present a safety hazard if the insulation were
to become damaged. The receptacle should be located 4 feet above the basement floor to guard against the possi-
bility of immersion.

DISCONNECT POWER AT THE MAIN ELECTRICAL BOX BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVIC-

ING THE UNIT. DO NOT PLUG IN UNIT OR CHANGE FUSES WHILE STANDING ON WET OR DAMP SUR-
FACES AND DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER METAL SURFACES WHILE PLUGGING IN PRODUCT OR
CHANGING FUSES. DO IT WITH ONE HAND WHILE KEEPING THE OTHER HAND FREE.

• Check to be sure that your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements of the unit. Plug into a

grounded receptacle which contains a fuse or circuit breaker of 20 amps or less.

• All water treatment installations must conform to local plumbing, electrical, and sanitation codes. These codes are

established for your protection.

IMPORTANT

INSTALL WATER CONDITIONERS IN AN AREA PROTECTED FROM FLOODING, RAIN, DIRECT SUNLIGHT, DUST,
SNOW AND FREEZING. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF EXPOSURE
TO THE WEATHER. FAILURE TO PROTECT UNIT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
