INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing the finest home water distillation system on the market. With proper care and attention, the Pure Water A-12 will give you many years of top performance and high-quality drinking water. FOR THE RECORD The model and serial number are found on the back panel. You should record both the model and serial number below for future reference.
GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR A-12 Figure 1 Your A-12 consists of several major components concealed inside the stainless steel enclosure: (1) the distiller, where high-quality water is produced; (2) the storage tank, where distilled water is stored; and (3) the demand pump that distributes distilled water to your desired location.
INSTALLING YOUR A-12 Select an area that will allow the Pure Water A-12 to remain level. Improper leveling could affect the production rate. Electrical requirements: Isolated 115 to 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp circuit (220 to 240 Volt AC, 10 Amp on some models).

d) Tighten screws evenly. Brackets should be parallel. Tighten firmly. Do not over-tighten. See figure 2. e) Connect 1/4” tubing to the saddle tapping valve outlet. f) Coil a minimum of 8’ (240 cm) of tubing behind the distiller. This will allow the distiller to be moved away from the wall for cleaning or service.
Failure to install properly could result in the unit draining hot water onto the floor. If your installation plans do not call for installing with a drain, contact your authorized Pure & Secure, LLC Distributor immediately. Pure Water cannot be responsible for any damage resulting from improper installation.
