**PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN CALLING FOR MULTIPLE WATER FILL OPTIONS IN AN OPERATION, THE CONTROL WILL FILL TO THE GREATEST LEVEL DESIRED. FOR EXAMPLE IF 10" OF COLD WATER WAS PROGRAMMED AND 11' OF HOT WATER WAS PROGRAMMED THE CONTROL WOULD TURN OFF THE COLD WATER VALVE AT THE 10" LEVEL (PLEASE REFER TO THE USER DEFINED SETUPS LEVEL DEADBAND) AND TURN THE HOT WATER VALVE AT THE 11" LEVEL. THE CONTROL WILL ONLY FILL TO AN 11" LEVEL NOT A 21" LEVEL. **
