IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

In addition to the warnings and cautions in this manual, use the following guidelines to safely operate the system:

• Read all instructions before using equipment.

• Install or locate the equipment only for its intended use as described in this manual.

• Do NOT use corrosive chemicals in this equipment.

• 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.

• This equipment should be serviced by qualified personnel only. Contact A.J. Antunes & Co. for repair.

• Do NOT immerse cord or plug in water.

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• This equipment should be supplied with only cold water.

• For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. The use of saddle valves are not permitted. Please consult your local plumber.

The following warnings and cautions appear throughout this manual and should be carefully observed.

• Unplug the power cord before performing any service or maintenance on the unit.

• All electrical connections must be in accordance with local electrical codes and any other applicable codes.

• WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

- Do NOT modify the power supply cord plug. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

- Do NOT use an extension cord with this unit.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.

• This equipment is to be installed to comply with the local plumbing code and any other applicable code.

• Water pressure must not exceed 100 psig (690 kPa). To reduce water pressure, install a water pressure regulator and set to suit the application.

• The trans membrane pressure (inlet pressure minus the permeate water pressure) must not exceed 45 psi (310 kPa).

• A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be installed on the circuit to this system.

• When installed on metallic plumbing, a properly sized electrical bonding jumper must be installed across the inlet and outlet pipes serving this unit.

NOTE: If the inlet water pressure is less than 50 psig (345 kPa), it is recommended that a suitably-sized booster system (outlet pressure 60 psig - 100 psig max (414 kPa 690 kPa max) be installed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued)

VZN SERIES

Protect from becoming dry

If the membrane dries out, irreversible damage to the Ultra Filter membrane may result. Protect the filter from becoming dry by keeping it wet and sealed at all times.

Protect from freezing

If the Ultra Filter membrane freezes during operation 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 Ultra Filter 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 transportation and installation.

Protect from organic solvents and concentrated acids

Prevent any and all contact of the membrane with strong solvents, solvents containing chlorine, or concentrated acids. Do NOT use strong solvents or concentrated acids on any plastic parts of the filter system. Examples of some solvents to avoid: acetone, methyl acetate (nail polish remover); hexane (spot removers); turpentine, toluene (paint thinners); dry cleaning solutions, insecticides.

CAUTION

This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

CAUTION

Water Flow Regulator Assemblies are NOT interchangeable. Operating the system with the wrong Water Flow Regulator or without a regulator can damage the system, cause personal injury, and voids the warranty!

CAUTION

All electrical connections must be in accordance with local electrical codes and any other applicable codes.

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be installed on the circuit to this system.

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 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 damage 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 nicking 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 arrestor (pressure vessel containing compressed air separated from the water by a diaphragm) to reduce pressure shock.

Reduction

This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 and 53 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42 or 53. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.

NOTE: The NSF/WQA information provided applies to the Ultra Filter cartridge.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

VZN SERIES

OPERATION

Overview

The VZN system operates in two modes:

• Normal Operation Mode

• Flush Mode

During Normal Operation Mode, water enters the Inlet and flows through the Ultra Filter before exiting the Permeate Outlet as usable product water.

During Flush Mode, the Drain Valve opens and water entering the Inlet flushes and cleans the Ultra Filter membrane by removing any debris collecting on the membrane wall.

The Drain Valve is only powered during Flush Mode.

NOTE: Do NOT unplug the power cord or turn off the system during Flush Mode. If there is a power outage or the system is unplugged, water will continue to be filtered but the system will NOT flush. This could cause the Ultra Filter to plug prematurely and may reduce the life of the filter.

The flush is automated by the Universal Pulse Controller to last 10 seconds and take place in one-hour intervals. This interval can be changed (see Changing the Interval Setting in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CAUTION

Changing the flush interval can cause the Ultra Filter to plug prematurely and may reduce the life of the filter. Consult the factory for more information.

Manual Flushing

A manual flush can be activated at any time by pressing the FLUSH button on the Universal Pulse Controller.

When the FLUSH button is pressed, the Flush LED on the controller flashes and the Drain Valve opens for 10 seconds. After flushing is complete, the Drain Valve will close, the Flush LED will stop flashing and the unit will automatically return to Normal Operation Mode.

NOTE: A manual flush will not affect the interval flush setting.
