PRODUCT APPLICATIONS AND WARNINGS

The Water Witch is used in many different applications and projects to maintain a minimum 

water level.  Some of the most popular applications include:
•  Swimming pools and spas 

•  Balance tanks

•  Water features and ponds 

•  Infinity edge troughs

•  Water / Splash parks 

•  Commercial pools

•  Irrigation projects 

•  Water tanks

Given the many suitable applications for the Water Witch, a quality installation is required 

to ensure performance is not affected by site conditions or any other factor.  

•  The Water Witch is manufactured 

and tested to the highest 

international standards.  Wear 

and onsite conditions, however, 

may cause component failure.  All 

installations must include sufficient 

overflow provisions to ensure a 

flooding event does not occur.

•  Indoor pools and enclosed projects 

must also feature sufficient overflow 

provisions to avoid a potential 

flooding event.

•  The Water Witch may not be 

suitable for installations where the 

water source is connected to a 

pressure pump.  Confirm high and 

low pressure readings at your site 

to ensure the water supply pressure 

is always within the unit’s required 

operating pressure.

•  Contact your local water authority 

to confirm whether your proposed 

Water Witch supply side installation 

complies with the relevant water 

regulations.

•  Individual components may need 

to be replaced in the future.  All 

installations should incorporate 

provisions for easy part replacement.

•  The Water Witch includes wearing 

components that may fail or be 

affected by onsite conditions.  A 

visual inspection of all components 

is required at least every month to 

ensure the unit is operating correctly.

•  The power supply must always be 

turned off and the Water Witch 

power lead removed from the power 

supply if the control box cover is 

being removed.
