Precautions before installation (wall mounting) Rapids™ Type I Water Purification System.
The Rapids™ Type I Water Purification System can be fed from a pretreated or tap water source. You may
find that some municipal tap water supplies contain a high concentration of suspended particles, and dis-
solved organic and inorganic materials that can decrease the life of the cartridges installed in the Rapids™.
Failure to follow the instructions and warnings mentioned in this manual will result in the
inability to maintain safe operation.
Do not mount the Rapids™ unit directly over equipment that requires electrical service.
Routine maintenance (removing exhausted cartridges) of this unit may involve water
spilling from the cartridges, resulting in an electrical shock hazard if improperly located.
This unit is to be only used with the provided power supply. The power supply must be
securely mounted and away from source of water. (e.g. not over sink or open container
of water).
This unit is to be used with the specified water feeds (pretreat or tap) only.
To lift and mount the water system on wall we recommend it is done with two people.
Wall composition, condition and construction, as well as the type of fasteners to be used
should be considered when mounting this unit. Both the mounting surface and fasteners
selected must be capable of supporting a minimum weight of 225 lbs./102 kg
(operational weight of 56lbs. X 4x safety factor). Inadequate support or fasteners may
result in damage to the mounting surface and/or the equipment. If you are unsure of
how to wall mount the Rapids water unit, please consult with your building maintenance
personnel or local contractor.
Unit is equipped with a timed dispense option. User must be aware of flow rate of water
so as not to overfill containers that could cause spills onto a bench or floor.
