Read this manual and the installation manual (P/N 8910) before installing and using the Model 2 / Model 2R
system. Follow steps exactly to install the system correctly. Failure to do so could cause personal injury or property
damage.
As with any water system, it is highly recommended that a leak detection system with a water main shut-off
valve be installed to prevent property damage due to a plumbing or system failure.
Do not use the
HANS™ Premium Water Model 2 / Model 2R to create safe, drinkable water that is from non-potable
water sources. Do not use this system on microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without
disinfecting.
For use with private wells:

General Information (continued)
WARNING:
Do not use on private well water until the water has been tested by a certified drinking water
laboratory to determine microbial safety in accordance with regulatory standards. Before using this system
on a private well, it is the responsibility of the user to have the well tested by an accredited drinking water
laboratory. For continuous use of this device on a private well, it is the responsibility of the user to obtain
frequent microbiological testing (recommended twice per year, minimum) of the well water entering the
system by an accredited drinking water laboratory to monitor continued compliance with the applicable
regulatory standards. If the well source becomes microbiologically contaminated as indicated by testing,
discontinue use of this system until sufficient well treatment and testing indicates that the water again meets
the applicable regulatory standards. Following exposure of the device to microbiologically contaminated
water and prior to its reuse, conduct the proper sanitization and servicing as directed in the service &
maintenance manual (P/N 8920).
WARNING:
This system may not perform as claimed unless all functional components are installed in their
proper sequence in accordance with the installation and maintenance instructions.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 244 for reduction / inactivation of pathogenic (disease-
causing) bacteria, viruses and cysts. The concentration of the indicated bacteria and virus surrogates in
water entering the system was reduced to meet the reduction criteria, as specified in NSF/ANSI 244. The
bacteria and virus surrogate reduction indicates verification of cyst reduction.
This system not intended to control all heterotrophic plate count (HPC) bacteria.
