Introduction
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing HydroPower Ultra for your pure water needs. You have chosen a
high quality product backed by Unger’s 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. When used
as intended, the unit will produce zero TDS pure water for site glass cleaning.
The production of pure water, through deionization, is based on the principal of ion exchange.
In this process, the minerals responsible for producing spotting are removed from the water.
The use of HydroPower Ultra has the following advantages:
• With a waterfed wash pole and brush will eectively clean glass and other surfaces without
the need for chemicals.
• Run-o does not have to be remediated, and is safe for plants and animals.
• No electricity or external power supply needed – system works with plumbing line pressure.
• Resin packs are factory lled with the precise amount of mixed bed DI Resin for optimum
system performance.
As with any commercial equipment, care must be taken when operating and servicing the
unit. There is a risk of damage to the system due to:
• Operating and installation errors.
• Use of loose resin (overll and expansion of resin will damage unit).
• Vessel is opened incorrectly.
• Using non-Unger spare parts.
• Performing unauthorized modication to unit.
• Insucient maintenance.
Use only original spare parts by Unger (according to spare parts list, pg. 13).
For all inquiries and spare parts orders, it is important to provide detailed
information located on the device (serial and/or part number).

Safety Information
2. Safety Information
2.1 General
Please observe all applicable rules and regulations, including all accident prevention procedures.
Unger is not liable for damage to application areas, plumbing system, or persons.
Ensure work area has sucient water drainage.
Turn o water supply when not in use.
Ensure HydroPower Ultra System, including carts, are properly secured to car, trailer or truck
bed during transportation.
The user must meet all applicable local, state/provincial, federal licensing and registration
requirements and must strictly adhere to all applicable local, state/provincial and federal labor
laws and safety codes and standards.
2.2 Intended use
This system may be dangerous if it is improperly installed, not regularly maintained or not used
as intended. Use this system only for water treatment to reach an optimal water quality for glass
and surface cleaning. Any other use, especially water treatment for food production
(e.g., beverages) is prohibited.
2.3 Operating temperatures, pressures and connections
The system must be protected against frost. The temperatures in the operating area must be at
least 15°F. The water temperature should not exceed 86°F, and maximum operating pressure is
116 psi (8 Bar).

Safety Information
2.4 General hazards
Read and follow ANSI Standard IWCA 1-14.1 (Window Cleaning Safety).
Puried water is delivered to the waterfed pole by hoses from the HydroPower Ultra system.
This introduces a risk of tripping both to worker and general public. Identify work area with
appropriate signage.
Any surface that becomes wet must be identied with appropriate signage to direct pedestrians
and workers away from work area. During wintertime, it is important to avoid water pooling,
which could freeze, creating a dangerous slip hazard.
General hazards associated with the use of water fed poles and deionization equipment1:
• Trip hazard to the general public when using hoses.
• Slip hazard presented from wet pathways.
• Slip hazard for operator when concentrating on work.
• Falls from height when working on at roofs.
• Electrocution from poles coming into contact with overhead power source.
• Injuries to others from falling poles or fabric of the building that may be dislodged.
• Injury to others from falling poles caused by incorrect handling or failure of pole.
• Injury through incorrect manual handling of poles and other equipment.
• Hazards from carrying tanks, systems and equipment that are overloaded, unstable,
unsecured or incorrectly installed within a vehicle.

System Overview
3. System Overview
3.1 What is Pure Water?
Pure Water is water in its purest form, physically processed to remove the minerals that
would otherwise lead to limescale spots and streaks. Such impurities are referred to as TDS
(Total Dissolved Solids) and are measured in ppm (parts per million). Water is considered
100% demineralized (pure) when its TDS is measured at 0 ppm. The average TDS of
drinking water is 180 ppm.

4. Installation and Operation
4.1 New Machine Setup
• Unpack unit: Inspect HydroPower Ultra unit and all components. Read warnings and
operating instructions.
• Inspection & Scope of Delivery: Refer to illustration; perform visual inspection and take
inventory of the following items that should be shipped with the system, then test system
for functionality:
• TDS Meter (powers on/o)
• FastLock lever (yellow) – depress lever, rotate in counter-clockwise direction and
remove top cap assembly.
• Ultra Resin Packs installed in unit.
- UHPR1 - One Green Pack
- UHPR2 - Three Green Packs
- UHPR3 - One Green & Two Red Packs
• Connection ttings installed in unit.
• Cart, wheels and tank clamp system (if purchased with cart).
• Water supply connection

• Temperature on site 41°F to 104°F; and not in the immediate vicinity of heat sources
or in direct sunlight.
Installation & Operation

Startup
4.2 Startup
1. LOCATE JOBSITE WATER SUPPLY
Unger recommends testing the on‐site water supply for TDS (total dissolved solids) prior
to working. Higher TDS levels reduce the system’s capacity.
• Inspect system – ensure Unger‘s Ultra Resin Packs are properly installed: the red Resin
Pack is only used on a large tank unit and placed in the middle and bottom position.
The green Resin Pack is used in all units and is placed in the top position. NOTE: The
performance of HydroPower Ultra is optimized when used with Ultra Resin Packs.
NEVER use loose resin as it may damage the system.
• Set up system in upright position.
• Choose a stable on‐site location.
2. CONNECT WATERFED WASH POLE TUBING
• Attach waterfed wash pole hose onto Water OUT connection (g. A).
• Ensure all on/o valves are in “OPEN” position when lling system.
3. CONNECT WATER SUPPLY (GARDEN HOSE) TO WATER IN CONNECTION
• Thread On/O Valve to garden hose prior to connecting water supply (g. B).
• Attach On/O Valve directly onto Water IN connection at base of unit (g. C).
4. TURN ON FEED WATER SUPPLY
• When water begins to ow out of the unit, turn on TDS meter and inspect pure water
quality (g. D). A reading of ‘0’ is best and indicates the system is running properly.
When the TDS meter reaches 10ppm or higher the resin should be replaced.
• Adjust ow at waterfed pole brush head by:
- Tap water valve or,
- Waterfed wash pole control (on/o) valve (if applicable).

Operation & Resin Change
4.3 Operation
1. Periodically inspect the HydroPower Ultra system during use. Ensure hoses are properly
attached. Inspect system for leaks and proper t of top cap assembly.
2. Take care when working to ensure there is enough slack in waterfed pole tubing. This
tubing is connected to the top cover of the unit, and excessive tugging may cause the
system to tip over.
3. Tap water ows into the system’s lower connection port via tap pressure and ows
upwards through the HydroPower Ultra unit. Pure water exits through the top connection.
When plumbing line pressures fall below 44 psi (3 Bar), a reduction in ow rates will be
noticeable.
5. Resin Change
5.1 Resin Change - Ultra Resin Pack
Unger‘s pre-measured replacement Ultra Resin Packs are designed
to allow a controlled resin expansion within a designed safety limit.
1. SHUT OFF FEED WATER SUPPLY
• Depress yellow lever on system head assembly.
• Turn tap water valve to “OFF” position.
• Disconnect waterfed wash pole hose.
2. RELEASE SYSTEM HEAD ASSEMBLY
• While continuing to depress the yellow lever, use a counter-clockwise
quarter‐turn to release system head assembly; remove and set aside.
• Reach into housing and remove exhausted resin by hand; discard
according to local regulations.
• Press yellow FastLock opening lever (g. E) to remove pressure from
the tank.
• Steady (or “Stabilize”) the base unit with your feet, gently press the top
cap down and use a counter-clockwise 1/8 turn to release top cap
assembly; remove and set aside (g. F).
• Open all valves to facilitate the removal of the Ultra Resin Packs.
• Reach into housing and remove exhausted Ultra Resin Pack(s) by hand
with the rubber handle (g. G); discard according to local regulations.
