Instructions / Assembly

To ensure maximum system performance, all replacement components should be purchased directly from an authorized dealer or directly from
GHP Group Inc. The use of components purchased from other sources will void the warranty, and will potentially cause the system to function in a
lesser capacity than intended.
The UV lamp and quartz sleeve should be serviced annually to ensure proper performance. Clean quartz sleeve regularly for optimum performance.
Filter cartridges should be replaced every six months, or when the pressure drop through the cartridges inhibit water flow in the home to the
point where pressure losses are being experienced.
The life of the UV lamp, quartz sleeve and filter cartridges are estimates only, and will vary dependant upon the influent water quality.
Replacement/service schedules referenced above should be a maximum, and more frequent service/cartridge replacement may be required
dependant upon your local water quality.
The VPS1140-1 is intended for the supplemental bactericidal treatment of disinfected public drinking water or other drinking water which has
been tested and deemed acceptable for human consumption by the provincial/state or local health agency having jurisdiction. The VPS1140-1 is
designed to reduce normally occurring non-pathogenic nuisance microorganisms.
If you will be using an untreated surface water or groundwater source (rather than a municipal supply source) that has been deemed
unacceptable for human consumption by the provincial/state or local health agency having jurisdiction, additional pre-treatment of the water
prior to the VPS1140-1 is required.
2.1 Water Quality Parameters
Water quality will adversely affect the performance of your Vitapur
®
VPS1140-1, particularly when untreated surface water or groundwater
is being used as the source of supply, if the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL’s) for the following six critical water quality characteristics are
being exceeded:
Iron Total iron count must be less than 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Turbidity Count must be less than 1 NTU
Tannins Count must be less than 0.1 ppm (0.1mg/L)
Manganese Count must be less than 0.05 ppm (0.05mg/L)
Hardness Count must be less than 120 ppm (7 grains per gallon)
%UVT
(transmittance) Must be greater than 75%
If you are using untreated surface water or untreated groundwater as your source of supply, the suitability of the water supply for potable
applications must be confirmed by provincial / state and/or local health agency having jurisdiction.
If the test results indicate that: (1) any of the above contaminant levels are being exceeded, or (2) any prevailing drinking water health standards
are not being met, additional pretreatment facilities must be installed that will eliminate all contaminants, which pose health risks.
