Safety Instructions

Warning - 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 the water is present
near electrical equipment. 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) Carefully examine the water sterilizer after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is
water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate the water sterilizer if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if is
dropped or damaged in any manner.
5) Always disconnect water flow and unplug a water sterilizer before performing cleaning or maintenance
activities. Never yank the cord to remove from an outlet grasp the wall plug and pull to disconnect.
6) Do not use this water sterilizer for other than intended use (potable water applications). This use of
attachments not approved, recommended or sold by the manufacturer / distributor may cause an
unsafe condition.
7) Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this water sterilizer where it will be exposed to the weather
or to temperatures below freezing. Do not store this water sterilizer where it will be exposed to the
weather. Do not store this water sterilizer where it will be exposed to temperatures below
freezing unless all water has been drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
8) Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the water sterilizer.
9) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less
Amperes or Watts than the water sterilizer rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
10) Save these Instructions.

Water Chemistry

Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system.
Only Install The Sterilizer When:
• Total Iron - count is less than 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/l)
• Hydrogen Sulfide - count is less than 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/l)
• Suspended Solids - count is less than 10 ppm (10 mg/l)
• Manganese - count is less than 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/l)
• Hardness - count is less than 7 gpg (where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit
This sterilizer is specifically designed to supply water free of virtually all bacterias, viruses, algae and fungi by
irradiating the water with powerful ultraviolet light. The result is bacteriologically safe water without the use of
potentially harmful chemicals....................Natures Way, with no residual disinfecting agent in your water.
should operate efficiently provided the lamp/quartz sleeve is cleaned periodically.
If total hardness is over 7 pgp, the water should be softened.
