CAUTION
All electrical connections must be in
accordance with local electrical codes and
any other applicable codes.
A ground fault circuit interupter (GFCI) must
be installed on the circuit to this system.
When installed on metallic plumb-
ing, a properly sized electrical bonding
jumper must be installed across the inlet
and outlet pipes serving this unit.
IMPORTANT
This equipment is to be installed to
comply with the basic plumbing code
of the Building Ocials and Code Ad-
ministrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food
Service Sanitation Manual of the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA).

IMPORTANT
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!

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 be-
fore using equipment.
y Install or locate the equip-
ment only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
y Do NOT use corrosive chemi-
cals 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 qualied personnel only. Contact A.J. Antunes & Co. for repair.
y Do NOT immerse cord
or plug in water.
y Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
y This equipment should be sup-
plied with only cold water.
y 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.
y Unplug the power cord before per-
forming any
service or maintenance on the unit.
y All electrical connections must be in
accordance with local electrical codes
and any other applicable codes.
y Warning electrical shock hazard.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
y Do NOT modify the power sup-
ply cord plug. If it does not t the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
y Do NOT use an exten-
sion cord with this unit.
y If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a
similarly qualied person.
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 The trans membrane pressure
(inlet pressure minus the permeate water pressure) must
not exceed 45 psi (310 kPa).
y A ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) must be installed
on the circuit to this system.
y 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), install a
suitably sized booster system
(outlet pressure 60 psig - 100
psig max (414 kPa - 690 kPa
max).
Protect from becoming dry
If the membrane dries out, irreversible damage to the Ultra Filter membrane may result.
Protect the lter 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
104°F (40°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 lter 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
lter system. Examples of some solvents to
avoid: acetone, methyl acetate (nail polish
remover); hexane (spot removers); turpentine, 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 damage
to the membrane. All pipes must be ushed
clean before installing the lter. All plastic
parts of the lter 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.

Cartridge 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
specied in NSF/ANSI 42 or 53. While testing
was performed under standard laboratory
conditions, actual performance may vary.
NOTE: The NSF information provided ap-
plies to the Ultra Filter cartridge.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is mi-
crobiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the
system. Systems certied for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
lterable cysts.

Equipment Setup
General
When placing the system into service, pay
attention to the following guidelines:
y Do NOT immerse cord
or plug in water.
y Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Electrical
The line voltage must match the voltage
on the specication label. The plug on the
power cord must match the appropriate
outlet. Do NOT connect the system to a
switched electrical outlet.
Plumbing
NOTE: The system must be connected to
the COLD water line. Do NOT connect the system to the hot water
line.
This system uses the following connections:
Connection Description
System Inlet 3/4” NPT
System Outlet
(Product Water)
Drain 3/4” FNPT
Rinse Outlet
When making a plumbing connection to
the system, use a back-up wrench on the
supporting plumbing. Always use a quality,
approved pipe sealant or thread seal tape
on pipe threads. Do NOT allow pipe sealant
inside pipes.
Do NOT over tighten the connections. Use
plastic ttings when connecting to the
plastic connections of the system.
If soldered plumbing is used, do NOT apply
heat to, or near, the ltration system. Use
union (O-ring seal) connections for ease of
installation and future servicing.
