FLUID TREATMENT

Filtration is an effective way of reducing the level of suspended solids in a system. However, it is only one
portion of a complete treatment program. Dissolved solids will not be removed from the system by
media filtration. It is important to realize that the dissolved solids will concentrate, and can cause damage to
a system. Furthermore airborne impurities and biological contaminants may be introduced into the system
through the equipment being filtered.

To control all potential contaminants, a chemical treatment program must be employed by a competent 
professional. Such treatment should be initiated before the system start-up and continued regularly 
thereafter.

SAFETY

All electrical, mechanical, and rotating machinery are potential hazards. It is important to be familiar
with the design, construction, and operation of all equipment before performing any work. Always use
adequate safeguards (including use of protective clothing where necessary or required) whenever
installing, operating, or working on the equipment.

Care should be taken when working on, near, or around this equipment. Appropriate safeguards must be
established to prevent the personnel and/or public from injury and to prevent damage to the equipment,
affiliated system, and premises.

It is important to be thoroughly familiar with the equipment, associated system, controls, and the procedures
set forth in this manual. Only qualified personnel should operate, maintain, and repair this equipment. Always
follow proper procedures and use the correct tools, when handling, lifting, installing, operating, maintaining,
or repairing the equipment. This will aid in the prevention of personal injury and/or property damage.
