Greenway Home Products VPS1140 - Manual (Page 8)

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Initial Start-Up Procedure
The VPS1140 system has been designed to be installed on the cold water line only.
NOTE: When there is no flow in the system, the water in the vitapur ® chamber will be warmed by the ultraviolet lamps. Running a cold water
tap for about 30 seconds will eliminate all of the warm water.
The presence of small air bubbles in the water system may occasionally give tap water a milky appearance, but air bubbles will not affect water
quality or taste.
Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy due to the release of air trapped within the filters and throughout the system. Dependant upon your
use of the system, this condition should disappear within a few days to a few weeks following system installation.
Always perform the following start-up procedure when starting your VPS1140 system for the first time or after a storage period:
1. Shut off the main water supply valve.
2. Mount the VPS1140 system to the wall. Please note that due to the weight of the VPS1140, it is essential that the unit is mounted
directly to a concrete wall or directly into framing studs. Do not mount the unit directly on dry wall.
3. Hook up inlet water connections and the outlet water connection. For ease of installation and service it is
recommended using couplings on both the inlet and outlet lines.
4. Confirm that all of the plumbing connections are secured. Partially open the main supply valve while releasing air from the
system by pressing the red pressure relief button on top of the filter housings. Release once water begins to flow from valve.
5. Plug in the vitapur ® system and confirm that the UV lamps are illuminated; (blue glow at the end of the UV port cover).
6. If no leaks are visible at low flow, then fully open the main supply valve. Check for leaks.
7. Optional – for chlorine disinfection of household water distribution system, follow procedures outlined in section 3.3.
8. Open a downstream tap and flush the system for 15 minutes prior to initial use.
9. Your VPS1140 system is now ready for use.

Your VPS1140 uses a dual treatment process involving both filtration and an optical system to treat water with ultraviolet light. The water filters,
quartz tube and ultraviolet lamp require regularly scheduled replacement / service in order for the VPS1140 to provide you with reliable system
performance.
The ultraviolet lamp has an approximate life of one year. Replacement UV lamps and quartz sleeves are available from an authorized retailer
and Greenway Home Products. Use only vitapur
® lamps and sleeves to ensure system performance. Replacement lamp and quartz sleeve

adversely affected.
