STEALTH FLEX SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System Layout:
The Stealth Flex includes a carbon filter and a UV purification chamber. It must be installed with the
carbon filter at the water inlet, and the UV at the outlet. See page 4. The Stealth Flex should be
installed on the cold water line between the water source, such as the pump or pressure tank. or
water line; and the point of use faucet. Ideally the Stealth should be the last component the water
passes through before the faucet.
It is optional to provide a dedicated stand alone drinking water faucet for the Stealth Flex system.
Operator preference should dictate this decision. Considerations include a slight pressure drop asso-
ciated with the carbon filter, and if a fully isolated water purifier is required.
Mounting:
The Stealth Flex can be mounted to configure the inlet on the Right or Le side of the system. Note
that the Mounting Bracket (5) must be arranged to provide the inlet to the Carbon Filter on the
desired side. See instructions on Page 6 for reversing the Mounting Bracket if necessary.
Electrical Supply
The Stealth requires 12v power supply, drawing 1 amps when activated. Alternately a 12V power
adapter can be used to connect to 110V.
Operation:
The Stealth Flex has a instantaneous flow sensing switch which detects water flow and immediately
activates the UV. The Stealth Flex will sense that water is moving when you open the faucet. The
sensor will notice a minimum of 0.3 litres per minute flow rate. LED technology allows it to instantly
switch ON the UV chamber to full power and effectiveness with no warm up necessary. It draws mini-
mal power when it is in standby mode.

STEALTH FLEX INSTALLATION
Tools required:
No 2 Philips Head Screwdriver
Tube Cutter (Optional)
General Practices
• Read all instructions before use.
• Remove the Stealth Flex from Packaging, ensure contents are complete.
• Do not power on UV without water connected and initial flushing.
•For installation location, consider ease of access for filter changes, minimum bend radii of tubing,
and access to electrical connections.
• Do a quick test fit before beginning installation.
• Use appropriate connection fittings compatible with the inlet and outlet fittings.
Instructions
1) Turn off water supply, and/or all pumps supplying pressure to the water system.
2) Determine plumbing layout. Stealth may be mounted with inlet on the right or le hand side of
the unit. See Page 4. Plan for adequate space for inlet and outlet plumbing to have a clean approach,
and to be secured to minimize movement and vibration when installation is complete. PEX tube (1)
may be trimmed using Tube Cutter, or may bend to fit irregular spaces and installations.
3) Install Filter Mounting Bracket (4) to top of filter housing for Right or Le inlet. Note IN and OUT
sides of filter. IN should come from water supply, and OUT should connect to PEX tube (1) and on to
UV Unit (17). See Page 4 and 6.
4) Unscrew Filter Housing Canister, Clear (9) and set aside with Filter (16).
(5) Holding Filter Mounting Bracket (4) in place, attach to wall with provided Wood Screws (3) using
No 2 Philips Head Screwdriver. Screws are self tapping. Do not over-tighten screws, substrate mate-
rial may strip if over-tightend. If mounting in a material other than wood, metal, or plastic, substitute
appropriate fasteners. Filter should be oriented so that Filter Cannister (9) is down so that the filter
may be changed without spilling water.
6) Push PEX Tube (1) into Filter OUT connection. See instructions Page 11 for using Push To Connect
Fittings. Once connected, pull o the tube to tension the Push To Connect fitting to create seal.

7) Push other end of PEX Tube (1) into Flow Sensor side of UV unit. Remove Blue Clip on Flow Sensor
fitting if necessary. Replace blue clip to secure collar.
8) Select 3/8” (13) or 1/2” (12) Barbed Adapter to fit local plumbing. Supplied Barbed fittings will
work with Braided PVC tube, as well as some PEX tubing. For other fittings, see Tips or consult
www.guzzleh2o.com. Push barbed fittings into local plumbing, and secure with worm drive hose
clamp.
9) Insert stem of Barbed fittings (12 or 13) into INLET of Carbon Filter, and OUTLET of UV unit (17). See
Push To Connect Fitting Instructions Page 11.
10) Connect power cable cable (5) to 12V power supply. RED cable connects to positive (+) terminal
. BLACK cable connects to negative (-) terminal. Connect barrel plug to underside of UV unit. Trim
power cable length as necessary. See Wiring Diagram Page 10.
11) Use Cable Ties (14) to secure UV Purification Chamber (17) and PEX tube (1) as necessary to mini-
mize movement. Note correct orientation of UV Purification Chamber (Page 13).
12) Install Carbon Block Cartridge (16) and Filter Housing Canister, Clear (3) making sure O-ring (10)
seats in groove in canister. Tighten firmly by hand.
13) Turn on water supply. Determine that there are NO LEAKS.
14) Turn on power to UV and test operation. GREEN light indicates power is ON. BLUE light indicates
UV system is ACTIVE when water flows. BLUE light should turn off when water flow stops. See Status
Light Codes Page 15.
15) Flush carbon fines out of new Carbon Filter. Run 3-5 gallons of water through Stealth Flex to
remove carbon fines from new Carbon Filter. You will see black sediment in water as fines are
removed.
16) Have a drink of clean water!

STEALTH FLEX OPERATION
When power is connected to the Stealth, the green indicator LED illuminates to indicate it is
on STANDBY MODE (see page 9). In this mode, the Stealth is ready to purify water, but has
not yet activated the UV purification chamber.
The UV purification function of the Stealth activates automatically by sensing water flow and
activating the UV purification chamber when water is moving. A few seconds aer the water
stops, the Stealth turns the purification chamber off. Water flow typically is started and
stopped by using your faucet. UV purification activity is indicated by the BLUE LED indicator
light. The sensor requires a minimum of 0.3 liters per minute of flow to activate.
LED technology allows the UV purification chamber to instantly activate and perform at full
effectiveness. The UV chamber does not require any time to “warm up.”
The Stealth can be le on STANDBY MODE indefinitely. The UV function should only
activate when water is running.
Pulsecare:
When the UV unit is in Standby Mode, and water is not flowing, the UV unit will periodically
activate to clean the UV chamber. This prevents microbiological pathogens from migrating
through the chamber due to natural colonization and transport. While inactive, the UV will
flash for 1 second every 30 minutes.
If system is le off for more than 12 hours, contamination from microbiological migration is
possible, and water lines should be sanitized.
