Safety Measures

Hazard

UV Exposure Never illuminate UV Lamp outside of the UV Chamber.

Never look directly at illuminated UV Lamp, even when using protective gear.
Always use protective gear, including gloves and UV safety glasses.
If accidental exposure occurs, immediately cool affected area and consult physician.

Electrical Shock Disconnect power to system before performing any maintenance or repair.

There may be more than one source of power.

Impalement Never perform any physical inspection, repair or maintenance on UV Chamber unless

UV chamber has been isolated and depressurized.
Never service UV Lamps, Sleeves or associated hardware until depressurization of UV
chamber has been confirmed.

Hot chamber Allow UV Lamps, UV Chamber to cool for a minimum of 10 minutes before handling.

Cut or ingestion Ensure the quartz sleeve or lamp is not broken, cracked or damaged in any way when

handling equipment.

Scald from water When there is no water flow, the water in the chamber will become hot. To prevent

scalding, allow the system to cool before draining the system.

Fire Do not store any combustible or flammable material close to the system.

Hg Exposure The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion

of the debris and avoid exposure to eyes and skin. Never use a vacuum cleaner to
clean up a broken lamp as this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations
and guidelines for the removal and disposal of mercury waste.

Water leak Use proper plumbing materials to avoid potential material degradation from UV

exposure.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
this system – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this
system.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional protection from the risk of electric shock, this system
should only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding-type power supply receptacle that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Inspect operation of GFCI as per manufacturers suggested maintenance schedule.

EXTENSION CORDS

If an extension cord is necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors
that accept the plug from this system. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the system. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than this system rating may overheat.
Exercise caution when arranging the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine
extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord. Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp
edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting this system from the extension cord. Never yank
cord to pull plug from outlet. Always grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

WARNING – Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing.

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the
following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

2. DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of this system.
Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and troubleshooting sections, do
not attempt repairs yourself; refer to an authorized service facility.

3. CAUTION - Do not operate with broken or faulty parts as this may result in exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Contact supplier
for replacement parts.

4. Do not operate the system if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it has been dropped or damaged in
any manner.

5. Always unplug the system, release water pressure before servicing or cleaning. Never yank cord to remove from outlet; grasp
the wall plug and pull to disconnect.

6. Do not use the system for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may
cause an unsafe condition.

7. To prevent risk of electrical shock, connect this system only to a properly grounded, grounding-type power supply receptacle
that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Inspect performance of GFCI as per manufacturer’s suggested
maintenance schedule. If an extension cord is used, ensure it is of a sufficient rating and accepts the plug from this system;
never use an adapter.

8. Visually inspect this system prior to installation. If the quartz sleeve or lamp is broken, cracked or damaged in any way, do not
use. Contact the supplier for replacement parts.

9. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

10. The light emitted by the lamp will cause serious eye damage and burn unprotected skin. Do not plug system into an electrical
outlet without first properly securing the lamp into the chamber. Unplug the system prior to removing the lamp from the
chamber.

11. If the UV system malfunctions or fails, water must be boiled prior to consumption until the UV system is operational and the
water lines have been shocked. System failure is indicated by the system’s audible and visual alarms or the absence of any
indicator light.

12. Intended for indoor use only. System must not be exposed to weather elements. In seasonal applications, chamber must be
drained to prevent freezing.

13. Installation of this system must be in accordance with local plumbing and electrical codes as well as any and all applicable
regulations and laws.

14. The UV system is not to be used or played with by children. Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, are also not to handle the UV system unless they have been given supervision
or instruction.

5. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING – To prevent risk of electrical shock, connect this system only to a properly grounded, grounding­type power supply receptacle that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. Pull plug before servicing
or replacing lamp. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

WARNING – Do not look directly at UV lamp when it is operating. The light emitted by the lamp will cause
serious eye damage and burn unprotected skin.

WARNING – Read manual before installing or servicing this system. Only authorized personnel possessing
a strong understanding of this system should attempt to replace lamp or service this system.

WARNING – Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing.
