Safety Considerations
Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, care must be
followed when operating and/or maintaining your system.
1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly
at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin
from direct exposure to the UV light.
3. For complete disinfection, use ONLY genuine replacement parts.
4. Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
5. To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.
6. Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so.
Contact the manufacturer for service instructions if required.
7. Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of this
system could potentially cause harm to the user or others.
8. Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing. DO NOT
plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are wet.
9. The disinfection system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a
minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potential tripping hazards.
10. We recommend that a licensed plumber or certified technician install the system.

ing (e.g. if you have PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, flux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for tightening fittings)
Other Materials
