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)
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.

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 V SERIES
Overview
OPERATION
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 may 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.
