UV System Operation Safety
D A N G E R
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) or to a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA. Inspect operation of GFCI as per manufacturer’s suggested 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.
W A R N I N G
During extended periods of no water flow, the water in your chamber can become very hot (Approx. 60 °C) and potentially lead to scalding. It is
recommended to run your water until this hot water has been purged from your chamber. Do not allow water to contact your skin during this time.
Do not pass water through the UV system for a minimum of 5 minutes after applying power (including after power interruptions) to avoid passing
under-treated water that may, in rare instances, pose health hazards.
This system contains a UV Lamp. Do not operate the UV Lamp when it is removed from the chamber. Unintended use or damage of the system
may result in the exposure of dangerous UV radiation. UV radiation may, even in little doses, cause harm to the eyes and skin.
Changes or modifications made to this system without the consent of the manufacturer could render the system unsafe for operation and may void
the manufacturer's warranty
PROP 65 WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including phthalates, which is known to the state of California to cause cancer,
and mercury, which is known to the State of California
to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to

C A U T I O N
Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.
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
controller or lamp connector.
Due to thermal expansion concerns and potential material degradation due to UV exposer, it is recommended to use metal fittings and at least 10”
of copper pipe on the outlet of your UV chamber.
Hg EXPOSURE: The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion of the debris and avoid exposure to eyes
and skin. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up a broken lamp as this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for
the removal and disposal of mercury waste.
N O T I C E
The UV lamp inside the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately 9000 hours. To ensure continuous protection, replace the
UV lamp annually.
The UV system is not to be used or played with by children. Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, are also not to handle the UV system unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
EXTENSION CORDS: If an extension cord is necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord
connectors that accept the plug from this system. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the system. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than this system rating may overheat. Exercise
caution when arranging the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before
using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord. Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the
extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting this system from the extension cord. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Always
grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
SYSTEM PROTECTION:
To protect your Controller, a UL1449 certified (or equivalent) transient voltage surge suppressor is strongly
recommended.
The UV lamp in this system conforms to the applicable provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requirements including, Title 21,
Chapter 1, Subchapter J, Radiological Health.
Read and understand the Owner’s Manual before operating and performing any maintenance on this equipment.
