Introduction

Safety Considerations

Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, care must 

be followed when operating and/or maintaining your system.

1.     Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

2.     Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly at 

an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin 
from direct exposure to the UV light.

3.     For complete disinfection, use ONLY genuine Puretec replacement parts.

4.     Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.

5.     To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.

6.     Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so. 

Contact Puretec for service instructions if required.

7.     Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of 

this system could potentially cause harm to the user or others.

8.     Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing. DO NOT 

plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are wet.

9.     The disinfection system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter 

(GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a 
minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potential tripping hazards.

10.   A licensed plumber or certified technician must install the system.

Before Installation 

Installation Note: 

A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited lifespan and if 

not replaced, will eventually fail. Failure can happen early due to unforeseen circumstances. 
To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage 

and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. We strongly recommend that a drain pan, 
plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, be used in those applica

-

tions where any leakage could cause property damage.   We also strongly recommend that 
the water supply be turned off, upstream to the water filter system/tap, if no one is home for 

an extended period of time. 

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY 

OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY 

COVERAGE.
