UFL-420/440 WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
Unpacking
1. Remove the system and all packing materials
from the shipping carton.
2. Remove all packing materials and protective cov-
erings from the system
3. Remove the information packet. To prevent any
delay in obtaining warranty coverage, fill out and
mail the warranty card.
NOTE: If any parts are damaged, contact Antunes
Filtration Technologies IMMEDIATELY at 1-800-253-
2991 or 1-630-784-1000.
Equipment Setup
GENERAL
When placing the unit into service, pay attention to the
following guidelines:
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
ELECTRICAL
Ensure that the line voltage corresponds to the stated
voltage on the units specification label. Make sure that
the plug on the power cord from the system and the
outlet match. For proper operation, and to ensure the
highest quality water from the system, make sure that
the system is not connected to a switched electrical
outlet.
PLUMBING
NOTE: This unit is designed to use tap water not
to exceed 100°F (38°C) or 100 psig (690 kPa).
The UFL-420 and UFL-440 systems use the following
connections (Figure 1):
•
Water Inlet
•
Permeate (Product Water)
•
Drain
When making a plumbing connection to the system,
remember to use a back-up wrench on the supporting
plumbing. Always use a good quality, approved pipe
sealant or Teflon® tape on pipe threads. Be careful not
to get the pipe sealant inside the pipe when making the
connections.
DO NOT over tighten the connections. It is recom-
mended that plastic fittings be used when connecting to
the plastic connections of the system. This will reduce
the possibility of cracking the connections due to over-
tightening.
INSTALLATION
If soldered plumbing is used, do not apply heat to, or
near, the filtration system. The use of union (O-ring
seal) connections is highly recommended for ease of
installation and future servicing.
SUGGESTED TOOLS AND SUPPLIES FOR INSTALLATION
The following tools and supplies are suggested to make
the installation easier:
• Screwdriver
• Drill with bits
• Tape measure
• Two gallon bucket
• Pipe wrenches
This equipment is to be installed to comply with
the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials
and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the
Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
Water pressure must not exceed a membrane
burst pressure of 100 psig (690 kPa). To reduce
water pressure, install a water pressure regulator
and set water pressure to suit application. Note
that the trans membrane pressure must be 0.5 -
2.5 bar (7 - 36 psi).
FLOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY
Your filtration system uses a water Flow Regulator
Assembly that controls the flow of water into the unit.
This assembly consists of a white threaded male con-
nector and a color-coded Flow Regulator (Figure 3).
The unit MUST be operated with the appropriate Flow
Regulator Assembly.
1" NPT
•
UFL-420 Units: Use a GREEN and WHITE Flow
1" NPT
Regulator Assembly (5 gallons per minute).
3/4" NPT
•
UFL-440 Units: Use a BLACK and WHITE Flow
Regulator Assembly (10 gallons per minute).
Flow Regulator Assemblies are NOT interchange-
able. Operating the system with the wrong Flow
Regulator or without a Flow Regulator can dam-
age the system, cause personal injury, and
will void the warranty!

• Adjustable wrenches
• Level
• Pipe dope or Teflon®
tape
