  A TAP OR TWO-WAY VALVE MUST BE  

PLACED BEFORE THE SOLENOID TO  

ENABLE THE WATER SOURCE TO BE  

TURNED OFF AT ANY TIME. 

•  Standard installation positions the supply 

line 20mm above the fill balance line 

without a hard connection (An air gap is 

required to ensure the water from the 

project cannot contaminate the water 

source).  

THE FILL FLOW RATE MUST 

NOT EXCEED THE RATE THE BALANCE 

LINE TRANSFERS WATER INTO THE 

PROJECT.

•  If approved in your local area, the fill 

line can be plumbed into the filtration 

return line.  If installing in this manner, 

BACKFLOW PREVENTION VALVE MUST 

BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE SOLENOID 

AND THE WATER SOURCE TAP.

•  The solenoid requires an operating 

pressure range of 29-116 PSI (200-

800 kPa).  

ENSURE THE ONSITE 

PRESSURE IS SUITABLE FOR CORRECT 

OPERATION OF THE SOLENOID.

  Install 

a pressure limiting valve on the water 

supply line if the onsite pressure is greater 

than 116 PSI (800 kPa).

The solenoid is a wearing component with an 

indefinite operating life. Your project should 

include suitable overflow provision in case of 

possible solenoid failure.
