1.1 Grounding Instructions
This UV unit must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This unit is equipped
with a cord having an appliance-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. The piping connected to the UV unit must also be properly grounded. Install a grounding lug
or strap as required.
WARNING! For correct operation it is essential to observe the manufacturer
’s instructions.
WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the unit is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this unit; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified technician.
WARNING! If connected to a potable water system, the system must be protected against backflow.
1.2 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
To comply with National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, the circuit where the UV unit(s) is connected must be
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Lync by Watts recommends the use of Hubbell
GFCIs for 120Vac.
