Specifications - North Star PA101 Manual

Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the commercial system properly voids the
warranty.
Before you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain all the materials and tools you will need
to make the installation.
Check local plumbing and electrical codes. The installation must conform to them.
Use only lead- -free solder and flux for all sweat--solder connections, as required by state and federal codes.
Do not locate this system where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120F. Freez-
ing, or hot water damage voids the warranty.
Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non--metal-
lic parts.
This system requires a minimum water pressure of 30 psi at the inlet. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE Inlet water
pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use
a pressure reducing valve if necessary. (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow.)
The system works on 24 volt- -60 Hz electrical power only. Be sure to use the included transformer.
This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
