Acro must be run on a GFCI circuit. Connect the power cord from Acro's power receptacle to a
GFCI 120VAC standard wall outlet. DO NOT plug Acro in to an outlet until the fuse has been
installed.

Water Hookup
A water line needs to be hooked up to Acro for the duration of the steeping, air resting, and
germinating steps.
Why? Acro automatically fills steeps, and can't fill the vessel if water is not hooked up.
Additionally, constant water hookup is necessary to maintain the humidification system used
during air rests and germination.
You can use a standard hose or tubing to connect Acro to water. A 1/2" NPT male threaded
fitting on the water hookup allows you to connect either a female garden hose adapter or a
female thread to male barb adapter.
If you're using tubing instead of a hose, make sure to use tubing capable of handling your water
pressure. We use a tube with a 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD.
Preferably hook Acro up to a faucet with the ability to mix hot and cold water. Warm water is
used during cleaning the machine. In the winter, your cold water might be below desired
steeping temperatures, and Acro cannot heat water.
Water Pressure
Acro can handle water pressures up to 50 psi. Above this will damage interior plumbing
connections and cause water leaks or flooding. Plumbing damage caused by high pressure will
not be covered under warranty.
