Water Quality Guidelines
A. The ultraviolet water filter is intended for the use with visually clear water, not colored, cloudy or turbid.
♦ Ambient Water Temperature: 2-45℃
♦ Iron: <0.3ppm (0.3mg/l)
♦ Hardness: <7gpg (120mg/l)
♦ Turbidity: <1NTU
♦ Manganese: 0.05ppm (0.05mg/l)
♦ UV Transmittance: >75%
B. Recheck the installation before plug the filter into power.
C. Do not proceed to install the equipment when UV Lamp or Sleeve Tube is broken, buy one again and continue.
D. Ultraviolet Disinfection System is designed for continuous operation and frequent switching will reduce Ultraviolet radiation and
service life.
E. If this unit falls into the water, turn mainpower off and then retrieve it. Do not attempt to use this filter if it has been submerged.
F. Donot operate this unit if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it has beendropped or been damaged in any
manner.

point of use and can either be installed horizontally or vertically.
Step 16–When all plumbing connections are finished, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
Step 17–Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the filter chamber.
Step 18–Connect the power for starting up.
