Caution
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the
basic plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code
Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation
Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Caution
Water Flow Regulator Assemblies are NOT interchangeable.
Operating the system with the wrong Water Flow Regulator
or without a regulator can damage the system, cause
personal injury, and
voids the warranty!
Safety Information (Continued)
Protect from becoming dry
If the membrane dries out, irreversible damage to the UltraFilter
membrane may result. Protect the filter from becoming dry by
keeping it wet and sealed at all times.
Protect from freezing
If the UltraFilter membrane freezes during operation or storage,
irreversible damage to the membrane and brittle cracking of the
cartridge or housing may result.
Protect from direct sunlight or other UV sources
Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight or other UV
sources. The UltraFilter should be stored in a dark location.
Protect from high temperatures or abrupt variation in
temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 100°F (38°C). Avoid abrupt
variations in temperature. Any temperature variation should be
made slowly.
Protect from rough handling or dropping
Mechanical damage, external breakage, and/or internal breakage of
the filter can result if the system is dropped or bumped. Handle with
care at all times during transportation and installation.
Protect from organic solvents and concentrated acids
Prevent any and all contact of the membrane with strong solvents,
solvents containing chlorine, or concentrated acids. DO NOT use strong solvents
or concentrated acids on any plastic parts of the filter system. Examples of some
solvents to avoid: acetone, methyl acetate (nail polish remover); hexane (spot
removers); turpentine, toluene (paint thinners); dry cleaning solutions, insecticides.
Protect from abrasive material
The membranes must be protected from abrasive materials like shavings left in a pipe.
Abrasive materials in contact with the membrane can cause irreversible damage to the
membrane. All pipes must be flushed clean before installing the filter. All plastic parts
of the filter system must be protected from sharp objects like knives, sand paper, or
other tools. Cutting or nicking a plastic part can weaken it and cause a leak. DO NOT
use abrasive cleansers on any plastic parts.
Protect from water hammer
The system must be protected from shock, pressure surges, or pulsation that may
occur inside water pipes. Water hammer occurs in pipes when a valve or faucet shuts
quickly. Install a water hammer arrestor (pressure vessel containing compressed air
separated from the water by a diaphragm) to reduce pressure shock.
Caution
All electrical connections must be in accordance with local
electrical codes and any other applicable codes.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be installed on
the circuit to this system.
When installed on metallic plumbing, a properly sized
electrical bonding jumper must be installed across the inlet
and outlet pipes serving this unit.
