IMMERSION WELLS

When installed on an Electro-Well™ (sold separately), the Low Water Cut-Off
function is automatically activated. Heat transfer grease should not be used.
NOTE: For proper operation, there must be 1/2" clearance between the cop-
per well tube and any furnace within the boiler.

See Electro-Well™ models on page 11.

When installing on a standard immersion well, the LWCO function should
be turned off
(see page 6 for instructions). A buildup of heat transfer grease
or other coatings in older wells can interfere with continuity between the
sensor and the well causing a false low water shutdown. Turning off the
LWCO function will prevent this from occurring.

Fuel Smart HydroStat can be installed on a Hydrolevel Electro-Well™ or on an existing immersion well already in the boiler.

IMPORTANT: The control will only provide low water cut-off protection when installed on an Electro-Well™.

NOTE: In the case of space restrictions, the Fuel Smart HydroStat control may be mounted in a horizontal orientation without any

loss of function. Hydrolevel recommends vertical mounting, when possible, for proper orientation of LED display.

Each kit includes mounting hardware and a remote sensor. See page 12 for kit options.
