WARNING!
Operational
All System Parts and Components must be installed
in accordance with all local building and plumbing
codes.
The System must be installed on a cold-water supply
line only. Failure to do so may cause System damage,
leading to personal injury and/or physical damage.
The System has been designed built and tested to
offer reliable service, provided if it is installed,
commissioned, operated, maintained and tested in
strict accordance with the instructions contained in
this manual. Failure to properly maintain the System
will compromise performance and/or result in a failure
to control water quality which may lead to delivery of
contaminated water. Consuming contaminated water
could result in serious injury or possibly death.
To avoid System damage, ensure that a Stainless
Steel Prefilter or Carbon Prefilter is in place during
operation of the System. Failure to do so
will void all
warranties. In the absence of either filter, abrasive
damage to the System may occur. A damaged
System may permit contaminated water to enter the
household distribution system causing illness or
death. Irreversible and premature fouling of the
System may also occur resulting in System
replacement at the owner’s expense.
Do not attempt to remove System
Cap when System is under
pressure.
The System must be kept wet at all times after
installation. Do not let the System dry for longer than
12 hours. Failure to do so may damage the System
causing personal injury, physical damage, illness
and/or death and
will void all warranties .
Premature fouling of the System is not covered by
the warranty. After the installation of the System if any
noticeable pressure drop occurs, call your local
Homespring Authorized Service Person.
Except in emergencies, do not open the Bypass
Valve (if applicable); Bypassing the System may
contaminate water supply and water supply system.
Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water
after performing any servicing procedures on the
System.
Do not plug the Controller transformer in the electrical
receptacle if there is water on the electrical wiring or
on the power supply. Dry off all components first.
ONLY OEM parts supplied by the manufacturer are to
be used when installing or servicing the filtration
system (System). Failure to do may result in System
damage, serious personal injury, death and/or
property damage. Use of non-OEM parts will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
The System is not intended for the treatment of water
from an obvious contamination source (such as
sewage or wastewater).
Biofilm and pathogens already present in home
piping lines downstream of the could migrate into
filtered water unless the piping has been properly
sanitized. All household piping and distribution lines
should be sanitized prior to consuming the filtered
water using proper sanitization procedures (see your
local Health authority). The System owner should verify
the water outlet quality at the outlet sources by having
it tested by an approved or qualified water testing
laboratory prior to consumption.
The System must be commissioned and maintained
in accordance with the Owner’s Manual by an
Authorized Service Person. Failure to properly
maintain the System will compromise performance,
shorten the life of the System and may lead to delivery
of contaminated water. Consuming contaminated
water could result in serious injury or possibly death.
WARNING!
Biological
If System is equipped with a Bypass Valve, do not
open Bypass Valve except in emergencies. Opening
the Bypass Valve will permit potentially microbially
contaminated water to enter the household water
distribution system. Drinking contaminated water may
cause serious illness and/or death. Do not drink the
water if the System has been operated in bypass
mode.
If the System has been operated in bypass mode
and if the water is being drawn from a well or surface
water source, the System and the household water
distribution system should be disinfected again once
returned to filtration mode.
If the System is in bypass mode, the Controller must
be unplugged. Failure to do so may cause System to
dry and become damaged, leading to personal injury,
and/or physical damage and will
void all warranties .
A bypass is not required for proper operation of the
System. However, some local plumbing codes may
require a bypass. If a bypass is to be installed, the
procedure described below is to be followed in order
to provide water in an emergency or during System
malfunction.
Bypass Procedure
1. Close Inlet and Outlet Valves. (If ball
valves are installed, turn the handles
perpendicular to the water pipe.)
2. Open Bypass Valve (If ball valve is installed,
turn the handle in-line with the water pipe).
3. Unplug Controller.
