This symbol indicates the plumber must use copper piping.  

This symbol indicates that the system should only be connected 
to a properly grounded, grounding-type controller receptacle that 
is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).  

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This symbol indicates that 
you should not discard wasted electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) in the 
trash. For proper disposal, contact your material close to the system. local recy-
cling/reuse or hazardous waste center.  

This symbol indicates not to store any combustible or flamma-
ble material close to the system.  

This is the safety alert symbol. Obey all safety messages that follow

Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death.   

 

Electric Shock:

 

To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near the electrical equipment. Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the 

provided maintenance and troubleshooting sections, DO NOT attempt repairs yourself, refer to an authorized service facility. 

 

 

GROUNDING:

 

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is 

equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes 

and ordinances. 

 

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is 

properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with this system - if it does not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. DO NOT use any type of adapter with this system. 

 

 

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional protection from the risk of electric shock, this 

system should only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding-type controller receptacle that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Inspect operation of GFCI as per manufacturer's suggest-

ed maintenance schedule. 

 

 

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. 

 

 

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. 

 

 

DO NOT 

install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. 

 

 

DO NOT 

store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather.  

 

DO NOT 

store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water has been drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
