SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not plug in unit if any of the external surfaces or electrical components
are wet.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water
may be present near electrical equipment. Unless referred to in these
instructions, do not attempt repairs to the unit yourself. Contact the
manufacture for service advice.
3. Do not operate this system if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug is
malfunctioning, or has been dropped or damaged in any way.
4. Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended potable water
application. The use of attachments not recommended, approved, or sold

6. Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from unit if freezing
temperatures exist.
RAW WATER QUALITY
It is strongly recommended that you have your raw water professionally tested for
dissolved mineral content, turbidly and microbiological activity. Your UV
disinfection system requires clean, clear water for optimum performance. You
should only operate your unit if the source water meets the following minimum
standards:
Turbidity
<1 NTU
Suspended Solids
<10mg/L
Colour
None
Total Iron
<0.3mg/L
Manganese
<0.5 mg/L
Hydrogen Sulphide
<0.5 mg/L
Hardness
<7 gpg
Where raw water conditions do not meet these minimum standards, pre-
treatment equipment such as an inline or automatic filter, ion exchange softener
or an RO system must be installed. Consult with your local water treatment
specialist for advice.
Where microbiological activity is indicated to be present in your water
source, it is highly recommended that additional disinfection barriers be
used in addition to your UV system. This could include water well
chlorination using a pellet dispenser, inline chlorine injection using a
dosing pump and a contact tank, <1-micron absolute filtration or ozone
injection. The use of multiple barriers will assure safe drinking water in the
event of the failure of any one of the disinfection methods.
