- Please read through the entire instruction manual carefully. If hiring a plumber ensure they have a copy before they start.
- Most common questions are answered in the instructions or FAQ section. If you have read both of those and still have questions you may contact us for further help.

DO NOT apply anything (pipe dope, plumbers paste, Teflon tape, etc.) to the threads on the
control head or the resin tank!
Ensure the riser tube slips inside the pilot opening in the bottom of the head. Screw the head
down onto the resin tank until solid contact is made between the tank and O-ring, then tighten
about another 1/4–1/3 of a turn and STOP. Do not over tighten the control head as this can
cause damage. Once properly tightened down check to ensure the tank and control head
meet evenly all the way around.
SETUP CONTROL HEAD
Plug control head in
Plug the control head into a qualifying outlet as stated in the requirements section. Please
Note: The control head can be plugged in and operated without water, this will not damage
the control head. Once plugged in, verify the system is receiving power and ensure the outlet
is not on a switch that might get turned off. On digital valves the display should light up and
start flashing a time, on mechanical valves you may hear a quiet hum of the motor or you may
have to wait to see if the time dial keeps track of time. Please note: The service icon (the icon
that looks like a faucet) indicates that the system is IN SERVICE, that is the system is running
and working. It DOES NOT indicate the system needs serviced.
