INSTALLATION
l
oCation
1. The water purifier is intended for indoor use only. The water purifier is designed to mount vertically. The water purifier
should be protected from the elements and from temperatures below freezing. The ambient temperature, in the area
surrounding the water purifier, should be between 35
o
F and 100
o
F.
2. The water purifier must be connected to the cold water line only. Inlet water temperature should not exceed 100º F.
3. Electrical power supplied to the water purifier
MUST
match power requirements listed on the water purifier. Use of a voltage
surge protector is recommended.
4. Install water purifier within 48” of a known good ground. Water Purifier will need to be installed into approved
ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Where a 2-prong or unprotected 3-prong receptacle is encountered, it must
be replaced by a properly grounded Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Installation must be in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and any local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician.
5. The water purifier should be located in a dry, well-lit area, which provides enough room to perform routine maintenance.
The
Ultimate
TM
is designed to mount in a vertical position, with the gland end up. Unit must be mounted to a secure wall or
structure using the brackets provided. It is not recommended to have the unit solely supported by the plumbing to the unit.
(The quartz sleeve and lamp are removed from the gland end.) Allow a service area of at least one chamber length from the
gland end, for replacement of the lamp or cleaning/replacing quartz sleeve, as well as a minimum of 6” on the opposite end of
the water purifier. Minimum clearance to the floor 18’’
6. Choose a location for your
Ultimate
TM
unit that is isolated from vibration. Vibration will damage lamp and lead to
premature system failure.
7. The water purifier should be located closest to the point of use. This eliminates the possibility of purified water being
re-contaminated by bacteria in the water distribution system after purification.
8. If your system is subject to water hammer conditions, it is recommended that you install a water hammer suppressor. Water
hammer may cause damage to the O-Ring seal.
9.
As with any water handling device, the purifier should be located in an area where any possible condensation or
leakage from the purifier, accessories and/or plumbing will not result in damage to the purifier or to the area surrounding the
purifier.
For added protection, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan be installed under the purifier. The drain
pan must be plumbed to an adequate, free flowing drain to prevent water damage in the event of a leak. There are
numerous leak detection/flood stop devices, available on the market today, designed to stop the flow of water, reducing
the chance of water damage due to leakage. For more details regarding leak prevention and/or limiting damages due
to leaks, please contact the factory.
