Installation
Installation must comply with applicable local plumbing codes
and regulations.
Only connect the water purifier to the cold water supply. The
water must be of sucient quality and fulfill the requirements
on feed water.
Clean the water purifier as described in Complete User manual
“Flush Spirit” before you drink purified water. The cleaning time
is 45 minutes. Cleaning can not be stopped.
We recommend that the water purifier is installed by a professional, who is
recommended by an authorised Bluewater dealer. Installation instructions can be
found in the Complete User manual and on www.bluewatergroup.com.
Leak protection system
A sensor at the bottom of the water purifier senses water leaks. If there is a leak, the feed
water supply is stopped. The water purifier cannot be started again until the leak has been
repaired.
Low pressure protection
If Spirit stops because of low pressure, the cause of the low
pressure must be removed. If not, Spirit can be permanently
damaged.
Low pressure restart function
Only included in models suitable for commercial use.
When Spirit has stopped because of a low pressure problem (feed water), water production
can be started manually by pushing the filter button 5 seconds.
The low pressure restart is a function to ensure maximum availability of water.
Spirit starts automatically when it has stopped because of low pressure. It tries to start
three times: after 3 minutes, after 20 minutes and after 4 hours. If the water pressure is not
suciently high after three tries, Spirit will stop.
