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. Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualied 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 does not t in the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualied electrician. DO NOT use any
type of adapter with this system.

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 controller receptacle that is protected by
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or to a residual
current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current

DANGER (cont)

• DO NOT use this disinfection system for other than intended
use (potable water applications). The use of attachments
not recommended or sold by the manufacturer / distributor
may cause an unsafe condition.

• DO NOT install this disinfection system where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

• DO NOT store this disinfection system where it will be
exposed to the weather.

• DO NOT store this disinfection system where it will be
exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water
has been drained from it and the water supply has been
disconnected.

WARNING

• During extended periods of no water ow, the water in your

chamber can become very hot (Approx. 60 °C) and potentially
lead to scalding. It is recommended to run your water until
this hot water has been purged from your chamber. Do not
allow water to contact your skin during this time. To eliminate
this condition, a temperature management valve can be
installed at the outlet of your UV system.

• Do not pass water through the UV system for a minimum

of 5 minutes after applying power (including after power
interruptions) to avoid passing under-treated water that may,
in rare instances, pose health hazards.

• This system contains a UV Lamp. Do not operate the UV

Lamp when it is removed from the chamber. Unintended
use or damage of the system may result in the exposure
of dangerous UV radiation. UV radiation may, even in little
doses, cause harm to the eyes and skin.

• Changes or modications made to this system without the

consent of the manufacturer could render the system unsafe
for operation and may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
