WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions carefully prior to starting up the unit!
The water system on which the operation of this product is based requires
utmost care and maintenance, possibly also the use of chemicals, in order to
prevent and keep the occurrence of micro-organisms and harmful bacteria,
especially legionellae that are responsible for legionnaire’s disease, under
control. Non-observance of this information about correct maintenance and care
can entail the spreading of harmful bacteria. Due to the fact that for decorative
purposes, water nozzles distribute water in the air, water droplets containing
harmful bacteria can enter your lungs and cause life-threatening diseases.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the water system and its attendant units to
ensure their maintenance and care in compliance with the laws, directives and
instructions laid down for this purpose. In order to avert harmful contamination,
we urgently recommend the user to ensure cleaning and care of the water
system and the water feature including the nozzle, and to take all necessary
measures to maintain the technical units, such as pumps, tubing, connectors,
under-water lighting, and nozzles to keep them in functional order in line with
safety aspects. However, the maintenance and care obligation is not limited to
the technical products supplied, but encompasses the entire system.
We also recommend the owner to keep records of the dates when maintenance
and care was carried out, and to document all water tests made in conjunction
with the water feature. The owner is solely responsible for guaranteeing the
safety of the water feature. Use or maintenance of the units sold and the system
are beyond GeoGlobal Partner’s influence. GeoGlobal Partners can only be held
liable for manufacturing faults of smartpond

units.
