Safety Instructions
WARNING
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
CAUTION
- Always disconnect power before servicing.
3.
DANGER
- To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near electrical equip-
ment. Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and troubleshooting
sections, do not attempt repairs by yourself, refer to an authorized service facility.
4. Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet such as, the ballast or lamp connector.
5. Do not operate the disinfection system if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it has been dropped
or damaged in any manner.
6. Always disconnect water flow and unplug the disinfection system before performing any cleaning or maintenance activ-
ities. Never yank the cord to remove from an outlet; grasp the wall plug and pull to disconnect.
7. Do not use this disinfection system for other than intended use (potable water applications). The use of attachments
not recommended or sold by the manufacturer/distributor may cause an unsafe condition.
8. Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to tem-
peratures below freezing. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to tempera-
tures below freezing unless all water has been drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
9. Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the water disinfection system.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less Amperes or Watts
than the disinfection system rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped
over or pulled. Circuit breaker must not exceed power cord current rating (ie - 15A for North American NEMA 5-15P).
11. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
The UV light given off by this unit can cause serious burns to unprotected eyes and skin. Never look directly
at an illuminated UV lamp. When performing any work on the UV disinfection system always unplug the unit first. Never
operate the UV system while the UV lamp is outside of the UV chamber.

to use, and simple to maintain. PURA products will pro-
vide you with healthy, clean drinking water for years to
come.
What is Ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun has long been known
for its ability to destroy microorganisms. However, it has
only been in recent years that equipment producing UV
light has been manufactured for residential use.
UV energy is produced by low-pressure mercury vapor
enclosed in a tubular lamp. While a UV lamp resembles a
standard fluorescent lamp, it is similar in appearance only.
Energy produced by the UV lamp has the ability to
destroy microorganisms that can live in water. There are
five major groups of microorganisms that are altered by a
specific spectrum of ultraviolet light: viruses, bacteria,
fungi, algae, and protozoa.
When these microbes are exposed to the proper amount
of UV energy, their DNA structure is scrambled, and they
are unable to reproduce. Since the cell is now sterile or
dead, it is no longer a threat.
PURA Systems
PURA recommends that all UV systems include pre-fil-
ters to process the water before it reaches the UV lamp.
This will ensure that maximum UV exposure is achieved.
PURA Ultraviolet Water Treatment Systems are designed
for indoor use only.
PURA Systems are designed to provide complete water
treatment in a compact, easy-to-use package. Please fol-
low the directions in this Guide exactly when installing
your PURA System to ensure that it operates correctly.
