UFL-420/440 WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
5 P/N 1011055 Rev. F 12/13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Protect from becoming dry
If the membrane dries out, irreversible damage to the
Ultra Filter membrane may result. Protect the filter from
becoming dry by keeping it wet and sealed at all times.
Protect from freezing
If the Ultra Filter membrane freezes during operation
or storage, irreversible damage to the membrane and
brittle cracking of the cartridge or housing may result.
Protect from direct sunlight or other UV sources
Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight or other UV
sources. The Ultra Filter should be stored in a dark
location.
Protect from high temperatures or abrupt variation
in temperature
The maximum operating temperature is 100°F (38°C).
Avoid abrupt variations in temperature. Any temperature
variation should be made slowly.
Protect from rough handling or dropping
Mechanical damage, external breakage, and/or internal
breakage of the filter can result if the system is dropped
or bumped. Handle with care at all times during trans-
portation and installation.
Protect from organic solvents and concentrated
acids
Prevent any and all contact of the membrane with
strong solvents, solvents containing chlorine, or con-
centrated acids. Do NOT use strong solvents or con-
centrated acids on any plastic parts of the filter system.
Examples of some solvents to avoid: acetone, methyl
acetate (nail polish remover); hexane (spot removers);
turpentine, toluene (paint thinners); dry cleaning solu-
tions, insecticides.
Protect from abrasive material
The membranes must be protected from abrasive
materials like shavings left in a pipe. Abrasive materials
in contact with the membrane can cause irreversible
damage to the membrane. All pipes must be flushed
clean before installing the filter. All plastic parts of the
filter system must be protected from sharp objects like
knives, sand paper, or other tools. Cutting or nicking a
plastic part can weaken it and cause a leak. Do NOT
use abrasive cleansers on any plastic parts.
Protect from water hammer
The system must be protected from shock, pressure
surges, or pulsation that may occur inside water pipes.
Water hammer occurs in pipes when a valve or faucet
shuts quickly. Install a water hammer arrestor (pressure
vessel containing compressed air separated from the
water by a diaphragm) to reduce pressure shock.
CAUTION
This equipment is to be installed to comply with
the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials
and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the
Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
CAUTION
All electrical connections must be in accordance
with local electrical codes and any other appli-
cable codes.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be
installed on the circuit to this system.
When installed on metallic plumbing, a properly
sized electrical bonding jumper must be installed
across the inlet and outlet pipes serving this unit.
CAUTION
Water Flow Regulator Assemblies are NOT inter-
changeable. Operating the system with the wrong
Water Flow Regulator or without a regulator can
damage the system, cause personal injury, and
voids the warranty!
