General Information and Safety
DISCLAIMER:
The information contained in this document is subject to change
without notice. Applied Membranes, Inc. shall not be liable for
technical or editorial omissions made herein; nor for incidental or
consequential damages resulting from the furnishing,
performance, or use of this material.
READ THIS MANUAL:
Prior to operating or servicing this unit, this manual must be read
and understood. If anything is not clear, call for assistance before
proceeding. Keep this and other associated manuals for future
reference and for new operators or qualified service personnel.
USE PROPER POWER CONNECTIONS:
Use proper wiring and connection methods to satisfy local
electrical codes. SHOCK HAZARD: Connect this unit to a
properly grounded connection in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. DO NOT, under any circumstances, remove the
ground wire or ground prong from any power plug. Do not use
extension cords or an adapter without proper consideration.
SERVICE WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power to the system
prior to servicing.
WARNING:
Do not make any alteration or modification in the wiring or
plumbing of the system. This can result in damage to the
system and cause injury to operators or users.
WARNING:
Flush the system for at least 30 minutes before use to
remove all chemicals present.
CAUTION:
Never let the filter freeze. Freezing can damage the resin
tank.
Installation
Unpack the filter. Inspect assemblies for damage (cracked couplings, broken or split pipes, loose straps, etc.).
Location
Select a location for the filter with adequate clearance from walls and other equipment to allow access on all sides of the
tank. The unit must be located near a drain able to accommodate the backwash flow rate of your unit (see the table on
page 4). This is in addition to any other equipment sharing the drain.
Select a location for the brine tank that is accessible for easy refilling. Ensure floor beneath the brine tank is clean and
level.
A grounded power supply of the appropriate voltage and a local disconnect switch is required.
Caution:
The unit must not be located near any corrosive chemicals, or in an area where the
temperature may exceed 113°F (45°C). Do not install any water conditioner with less than 10 feet of piping
between its outlet and the inlet of a water heater.
Warning:
The power supply must be properly grounded to avoid injury from electrical shock.
