Important Safety
Information
In addition to the warnings and cautions in
this manual, use the following guidelines to
safely operate the system:
y
Read all instructions before
using equipment.
y
Install or locate the equipment
only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
y
Do NOT use corrosive
chemicals in this equipment.
y
Do NOT operate this equipment
if it has a damaged cord or plug;
if it is not working properly, or if it
has been damaged or dropped.
y
This equipment should be serviced
by qualified personnel only. Contact
Antunes Technical Service for repair.
y
Do NOT immerse cord
or plug in water.
y
Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
y
This equipment should be
supplied with only cold water.
y
The use of saddle valves
are not permitted. Please
consult your local plumber.
The following warnings and cautions ap-
pear throughout this manual and should be
carefully observed.
y
This equipment is to be installed to
comply with the local plumbing code
and any other applicable code.
y
Water pressure must not
exceed 100 psig (690 kPa). To
reduce water pressure, install
a water pressure regulator and
set to suit the application.
y
When installed on metallic
plumbing, a properly sized
electrical bonding jumper must
be installed across the inlet and
outlet pipes serving this unit.
Protect from becoming dry
If the membrane dries out, irreversible
damage to the RO membrane may result.
Protect the filter from becoming dry by
keeping it wet and sealed at all times.
Protect from freezing
If the RO membrane freezes during opera-
tion or storage, irreversible damage to
the membrane and brittle cracking of the
cartridge or housing may result.
Protect from direct sunlight or other UV
sources
Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight
or other UV sources. The RO should be
stored in a dark location.
Protect from high temperatures or
abrupt variation in temperature
The maximum operating temperature is
100°F (38°C). Avoid abrupt variations in
temperature. Any temperature variation
should be made slowly.
Protect from rough handling or
dropping
Mechanical damage, external breakage,
and/or internal breakage of the filter can
result if the system is dropped or bumped.
Handle with care at all times during trans-
portation and installation.
Protect from organic solvents and
concentrated acids
Prevent any and all contact of the mem-
brane with strong solvents, solvents
containing chlorine, or concentrated acids.
Do NOT use strong solvents or concen-
trated acids on any plastic parts of the filter
system. Examples of some solvents to
avoid: acetone, methyl acetate (nail polish
remover); hexane (spot removers); turpen-
tine, toluene (paint thinners); dry cleaning
solutions, insecticides.
Protect from abrasive material
The membranes must be protected from
abrasive materials like shavings left in a
pipe. Abrasive materials in contact with the
membrane can cause irreversible dam-
age to the membrane. All pipes must be
flushed clean before installing the filter. All
plastic parts of the filter system must be
protected from sharp objects like knives,
sand paper, or other tools. Cutting or nick-
ing a plastic part can weaken it and cause
a leak. Do NOT use abrasive cleansers on
any plastic parts.
Protect from water hammer
The system must be protected from shock,
pressure surges, or pulsation that may
occur inside water pipes. Water hammer
occurs in pipes when a valve or faucet
shuts quickly. Install a water hammer ar-
restor (pressure vessel containing com-
pressed air separated from the water by a
diaphragm) to reduce pressure shock.
