Safety Warnings
It is important to read and understand the following safety warnings to ensure reliable,
safe service from your system.
WARNING: Biological
The system is not intended for the treatment of water from an obvious contamination
source (such as sewage or wastewater). Biofilm and pathogens already present in
home piping lines downstream of the system could transfer into treated water unless the
piping has been properly sanitized. All household piping and distribution lines should be
sanitized prior to consuming the filtered water using proper sanitization procedures. The
system owner should verify the water outlet quality at the outlet sources by having it
tested by an approved or qualified water testing laboratory prior to consumption.
The system must be commissioned and maintained in accordance with this manual.
Failure to properly maintain the system will compromise performance, shorten the life of
the system and may lead to delivery of contaminated water. Consuming contaminated
water could result in serious injury or possibly death.

7
WARNING: Winterization
The system will be damaged if frozen. The system must be winterized and drained
according to the Winterization Procedure described in this manual. The system must be
winterized prior to temperatures falling below 32°F(0°C). Failure to do so may cause the
system to freeze, become damaged, and will void all warranties. Operating a damaged
system may lead to property or personal injury, and/or physical damage.
At the start of the next season, always prime the system before use.
WARNING: Operational
All system parts and components must be installed in accordance with this manual and
local building and plumbing codes. The System has been designed and tested to offer
reliable service, provided it is installed, commissioned, operated, maintained and tested
in strict accordance to the safety instructions enclosed in this manual. Failure to
properly maintain the system will compromise performance and/or result in a failure to
control water quality which may lead to delivery of contaminated water. Consuming
contaminated water could result in serious injury or possibly death. Always prime the
system before use and before letting water into the piping system. Ensure that a post-
Activated Carbon filter is in place during operation of the system. Premature fouling of
the system is not covered by the warranty.
Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after performing any servicing
procedures on the System. ONLY OEM parts supplied by the manufacturer are to be
used when installing or servicing the ozone system. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in System damage, serious personal injury, death and/or property damage. Use
of non-OEM parts will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
