Operating specifications
• Installation of the filter must comply with existing state and local plumbing codes.
• Sediment pre-filter cartridges should be changed as needed. (When you can no longer
detect the original white color of the filter, it is time for replacement. Sediment levels vary
greatly, so regular visual inspections are reccommended during the first year. )
• Install on cold water lines only. Operating temperature range: 40° – 90°F.
Protect unit from freezing.
• Do not install the unit on its side. It needs to be installed upright to maximize contact with
media. It is recommended your system be installed inside and out of direct sunlight. If this
is not possible and the system is outdoors or in a sunny area, the installation requires the
system to be protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Please contact our
sales and service department 866-662-6885 to discuss the specifics of your installation.
• Cleaning: use only warm, soapy water to clean the outside of the housing. Rinse well with
fresh, clean water. Never use chemical cleaning products on the filter’s exterior surface
because they may damage the filter housing.
Precautions
• Aquasana recommends using only plastic fittings to connect the inlet and outlet ports of the
UV well water filter system.
• Do not install clear or translucent tubing on the outlet side of the UV filter.
• Do not over-tighten fittings connected to inlet/outlet ports of the UV well water filter system.
• Water pressure must not exceed 75 psi or a pressure regulator must be used. Warranty is void
if the unit is used with pressure exceeding 75 psi. Higher pressures may damage equipment
and may not allow for proper exposure time with UV lamp.
• Do not install pump on outlet side of system as damage to the quartz sleeve may occur.
If pump is required, install it on inlet side of system and verify output pressure does not
exceed 75 psi.
• The system will not function properly if water flow is reversed.
• Filter is only to be used on a cold water line.
• Aquasana is not liable for consequential or incidental damages due to improper installation.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown water quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
