3. System Overview
Pure Water is water in its purest form, physically processed to
remove the minerals that would otherwise lead to limescale spots
and streaks. Such impurities are referred to as TDS (Total Dissolved
Solids) and are measured in ppm (parts per million). The water is
considered 100 % demineralised (pure) when its TDS is measured at
0 ppm, whilst the 180 ppm is considered as average water hardness.
The new HydroPower DI offer you a bundle of great
benefits, delivered through innovative features:
Fast Lock Opening
The new HydroPower DI offers an easy & quick opening of the vessel
with a big yellow lever. This includes a pressure valve, so pressure
can be released easily before opening. In one movement you can
press and turn the lid and open the full diameter of the vessel.
QuickChange Resin Bags
Pre-packed resin bags save time and simplify resin change process
- no more time-consuming, inconvenient filling up of narrow vessels
and no more spilled, wasted resin. Resin change process as simple
as coffee pad change in a coffee machine - simple removed the used
bag and insert a new one! Each bag is made from a waterpermeable material and contains a pre-proportioned amount of
Unger High Capacity Premium Grade Virgin Mixed Bed resin.
FloWater Technology
Innovative flow distribution design means that that you produce
much more pure water from a single resin refill compared to
previous generation of DI filters. Reduced operational cost through
less frequent resin replacement. Less waste, less time spent on
changing resin.

4. Installation and start-up
4.1 New Machine Set-Up
• Unpack unit:
Inspect HydroPower DI system and all components. Read warnings and
operating manual.
Inspection & Scope of Delivery: Refer to illustration; perform visual inspection and
take inventory of the following items that should be shipped with the system, then test
system for functionality:
a. TDS Meter functional (powers on/off)
b. Fast Lock lever (yellow) – Depress lever, rotate in clockwise direction and
remove top cap assembly.
c. QuickChange Resin Bag(s) installed in unit.
i. DI120 series – One Bag
ii. DI240 series – Two Bags
iii. DI480 series – Four Bags
d. Trolley, wheels and tank clamp system (optional).
• Water supply connection
• The inflowing water must comply with the applicable local Drinking Water
Ordinance.
• It must be assured that the connected watertap is equipped with a rebound valve
to prevent water flowing back into drink water line.
• Inflowing water temperature max. 30°C
• Temperature on site 4° to 40°C; not in immediate vicinity of heater.
• Do not install in the immediate vicinity of heat sources or in direct sun.
• Depending on the composition of the raw water, the treated water is more or less
aggressive. Thus, the parts getting in contact with the treated water must be
made of suitable material (e.g. glass, plastic or aluminium). Copper and other
non-ferrous metals are not suitable.
4.2 Start-up
1. Locate jobsite drinking water supply.
2. Before window cleaning can begin, the system must be connected to a drinking water
supply (1). If well water system is source, it is recommended water quality analysis be
performed prior to application.
3. Unger recommends testing the onsite water supply for TDS (total dissolved solids) (5)
prior to working. Higher TDS levels reduce the DI system‘s capacity. Conversely, lower
TDS levels will increase the amount of water the system is able to produce.
4. Inspect system – ensure Unger’s QuickChange resin bag(s) (7) are properly
installed, with zip-tie facing up and the sewing in parallel to the vessel ledge.

HydroPower DI
Start up & Operation
a. NOTE: The performance of HydroPower DI is optimized for the usage with Quick-
Change Resin Bags, but it can also be filled with loose resin.
b. Unger’s pre-measured replacement QuickChange resin bags are designed to allow a
controlled resin expansion within a designed safety limit.
5. Set up system in upright position. Choose a stable onsite location;
best to locate near work area.
6. Connect hoses to system (tap water (1) and waterfed pole tubing (2),
(fig. A).
7. Ensure all waterfed pole on/off valves are in “OPEN” position.
8. Turn on tap water supply slowly.
9. Inspect system as it pressurizes and begins producing pure water.
Keep discharge line open and hold down yellow lever (3) to remove
trapped air from system (fig. B). Use only with drinking water.
10. Turn on TDS meter (5) and inspect pure water quality (fig. C).
For first time use, the TDS meter should read 000.
Stop use when TDS meter reads 010 ppm and change resin.
Adjust flow at waterfed pole brush head by:
a. Tap water valve or
b. Waterfed pole control (on/off) valve.
11. You are ready to start cleaning.
4.3 During operation
1. Periodically inspect the HydroPower DI system during use. Ensure hoses are proper-
ly attached. Inspect system for leaks and proper fit of top cap assembly.
2. Take care when working to ensure there is enough slack in waterfed pole tubing.
This tubing is connected to the top of the unit, and excessive tugging may cause the
system to tip over.
3. Drinking water flows into the system’s lower connection port via tap pressure and
flows upwards through the HydroPower DI vessel. Pure Water exits through the top
connection. When plumbing line pressures fall below 3 bar (44psi),
a reduction in flow rates will be noticeable.
4. Use the included water valve on Water IN valve (8) to regulate the water stream
inside the HydroPower DI.

EcoFlo-Water Flow Optimizer
5. EcoFlo - Water Flow Optimizer
Depending on the pressure of the incoming water supply, using the HydroPower EcoFlo
insert allows you to restrict the water flow to an optimum level of between 120 – 150 L per
hour, which is ideal for regular glass cleaning. Optimising the water flow in this way allows
you to use less pure water, extending the lifetime and performance of a single resin refill in
the HydroPower DI Filters by at least 20%, without compromising the quality of your work.
• Automatically reduces the water flow – see table below for details.
• Fits any industry standard valves.
• Can be fitted, removed or replaced inside the water flow valve in seconds – simple.
• Compatible with all HydroPower DI Filters, regardless of size.
• NOTE: By reducing the flow it will take longer to fill a pure water
vessel / storage tank when using EcoFlo.
To speed up the filling process you should
remove the EcoFlo insert from the valve.
HOW TO FIT THE ECOFLO:

AFTER the
EcoFlo!
ATTENTION:
EcoFlo must be inserted into the Incoming
Water Valve (Inlet) only, located at the
bottom of the filter.
Inserting EcoFlo into the Outgoing Water Valve
(Outlet) may result in a build up of pressure inside the
filter vessel, potentially causing damage to the unit.
Do not use the EcoFlo when then pressure of
the incoming water is below 3 Bar.

Resin Change
6. Resin Change
6.1 Capacity
Since the DI resin filter is used at different filling points with various degrees of
hardness, the available quantity of completely desalinated water differs.
The conductivity measurement is used to monitor water quality.
If a conductivity measurement indicates a value of > 10 ppm, the resin is depleted.
The QuickChange resin bag or the loose resin must be replaced.
Raw water quality can be determined in various ways.
a) Information from responsible water works (indication of overall hardness).
b) By measuring the mineral content with Unger TDS-Meter (5).

WARNINGS: Read Before Using!
• Do not drink the water produced by this system. Water produced by the
HydroPower DI system is too pure and will rob the body of vital minerals and nutrients
if imbibed in quantity.
• Prior to opening vessel housings, turn off water and relieve pressure in hose.
Press the yellow FastLock Opening lever on top to get pressure out of the
housings.
• If you use the QuickChange resin bags (recommended), pay attention on correct
position (be sure to seat bags with zip-tie facing up and sewing in parallel to vessel
ledge.
• If you use loose resin, pay attention on correct filling and prevent overfilling.
• After a longer non-usage period, flash the filter thoroughly so that only fresh water is
in.
TIPS:
•
Clean highest windows first. Start at the top of each window and clean using vertical strokes with moderate speed.
•
DI Systems eliminate spotting so when you are finished cleaning, let the surfaces air dry - no need to wipe.
(NOTE: First time cleaning with pure water may necessitate washing windows twice for maximum results.
