HydroPower DI
units require the use of
mixed bed ion exchange
resin (commonly referred
to as de-ionizing resin).
This resin will require
replacement and handling.
1.5 Attention (General hazards)
Purified water is delivered to the waterfed pole by flexible hose from the
HydroPowerDI system. This introduces a risk of tripping both to worker and
general public. Identify work area with appropriate signage.
Any surface that becomes wet must be identified with appropriate signage to direct
pedestrians and workers away from work area. During wintertime, it is important to avoid
water pooling, which could freeze, creating a dangerous slip hazard.
