Safety Information

•

During extended periods of no water flow, 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.

•

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 modifications made to this system without the consent of the manufacturer could render the system unsafe for operation and may void

the manufacturer's warranty.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.

•

Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet such as, the

controller or lamp connector.

•

Due to thermal expansion concerns and potential material degradation due to UV exposure, it is recommended to use metal fittings and at least 10"

of copper pipe on the outlet of your UV chamber.

•

Hg EXPOSURE: The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion of the debris and avoid exposure to eyes and

skin. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up a broken lamp as this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the

removal and disposal of mercury waste.

•

The UV lamp inside the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately 9000 hours. To ensure continuous protection, replace the

UV lamp annually.

•

The UV system is not to be used or played with by children. Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience

and knowledge, are also not to handle the UV system unless they have been given supervision or instruction.

•

This system is intended to be permanently connected to the water lines.

•

This system is not intended to be used in or above water or outdoors or used in swimming pools when persons are in the pool.

•

EXTENSION CORDS: If an extension cord is necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord

connectors that accept the plug from this system. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. Use only extension cords having an

electrical rating not less than the rating of the system. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than this system rating may overheat. Exercise caution

when arranging the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. DO NOT use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using

and replace if damaged. DO NOT abuse extension cord. Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension

cord from the receptacle before disconnecting this system from the extension cord. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Always grasp the plug

and pull to disconnect.

•

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

•

SYSTEM PROTECTION: To protect your Controller, a UL1449 certified (or equivalent) transient voltage surge suppressor is strongly

recommended.

•

The UV lamp in this system conforms to the applicable provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requirements including, Title 21,

Chapter 1, Subchapter J, Radiological Health.
