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 four (4) feet above the basement floor to guard 
against the possibility of immersion.

   

Disconnect power at the main 

electrical box before installing or 

servicing the unit. Do not plug in unit or change 

fuses while standing on wet or damp surfaces and 

do not touch any other metal surfaces while plug-

ging in product or changing fuses. Do it with one (1) 

hand while keeping the other hand free.

•  Check to be sure your power source is capable of 

handling the voltage requirements of the unit. Plug into 
a dedicated 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.

INSTALL WATER CONDITIONER 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 

WEATHER.
