DANGER
!
Spilled resin is a slipping hazard.
Clean up spilled resin immediately.
Resin can cause skin irritation.
Avoid skin contact.
Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Can cause eye irritation.
Avoid eye contact.
Wear safety goggles.
In case of eye contact, immediately ush
eyes thoroughly with clean water.
Consult doctor if symptoms persist.
READ MANUAL BEFORE
USING PRODUCT
STORAGE: Do not store resin
in open or unlabeled containers.
Store in a cool (15°F to 100°F),
dry place.
DISPOSAL: Dispose of in
accordance with applicable
federal, state/provincial, and
local regulations.
All HydroPower models
require the use of mixed
bed ion exchange resin
(commonly referred to as
de-ionizing resin).

Introduction
Thank you for choosing nLite HydroPowerTM 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 nLite HydroPower 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 nLite HydroPower has the following advantages:
• With a waterfed wash pole and brush will effectively clean glass and other
surfaces without the need for chemicals.
• Run-off 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.
• QuickChangeTM resin bags are factory filled 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.
• Insufcient maintenance.
Use only original spare parts by Unger (according to spare parts list, pg. 14).
For all inquiries and spare parts orders, it is important to provide detailed
information located on the device (serial and/or part number).

General hazards associated with the use of waterfed wash pole and
deionization equipment1:
• Read and follow ANSI Standard IWCA 1-14.1 (Window Cleaning Safety).
• Trip hazard to the general public when using trailing 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.
Puried water is delivered to the waterfed wash pole by exible hose.
This introduces a risk of tripping by both worker and general public.
Identify work area with appropriate signage.
Any surface that becomes wet must be identified 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.

System Overview
• Unger nLite HydroPower systems contain mixed bed ion exchange resin to
remove impurities out of ordinary drinking water, commonly referred to as pure
water. Such impurities are referred to as total dissolved solids (TDS) and are
measured in parts per million (ppm). Water is considered 100% demineralized
or pure when its TDS is measured at 0 ppm. The average TDS of drinking water
is 180 ppm. Pure water attracts dirt and impurities from the surface being
cleaned, holding it in solution. Pure water left on the surface will dry to a clean
and spot-free appearance.
• No power is required other than drinking water line
pressure, which typically ranges from 40 to 60 psi.
This enables the system to produce pure water
at up to 1.5 gallons per minute. The production of
pure water is not sensitive to water temperatures.
Unger recommends testing the water supply (TDS)
before working (see page 12 for more information).
• Mixed bed ion exchange resin eventually becomes
exhausted and no longer able to remove impurities.
The nLite HydroPower systems incorporate an
on-board TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. TDS is
a measure of how pure the water is. Water that
contains zero TDS is considered pure water and
ideal for cleaning.
•When TDS levels reach over 10 ppm,
the resin should be replaced. Changing
the QuickChangeTM Resin Bags is quick
and easy (see page 11).

• Larger size models, HP12T/HP12C and HP24T/HP24C, are available with a cart.
However, each system can be removed and installed upright in a van or truck.
All nLite HydroPower systems must be upright during operation.
• nLite HydroPower systems are factory equipped with standard Quick Connect
ttings. Conversion kits are commonly available so that feed water and waterfed
wash pole tubing can be connected.

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 DI
system’s capacity.
• Inspect system – ensure DI resin bag(s)
are installed.
• Set up system in upright position.
• Choose a stable on-site location.
CONNECT WATERFED WASH POLE TUBING
• Install Quick Connect adapter to waterfed wash
pole hose.
• Ensure all on/off valves are in “OPEN” position
when filling system.
CONNECT WATER SUPPLY GARDEN HOSE
TO INLET CONNECTION
• Thread On/Off Valve to garden hose prior to
connecting water supply.
• Attach On/Off Valve directly onto inlet
connection at base of unit.
TURN ON FEED WATER SUPPLY
• When water begins to ow out of the unit, turn
on TDS meter and inspect pure water quality.
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 wash pole brush head by:
- On/Off Valve
- Waterfed wash pole control (on/off) valve
(if applicable).

System Maintenance - Replacing DI Resin
NOTE: Unger does not recommend the use of bulk resin with nLite HydroPower
systems. The use of bulk resin, with its widely varying properties, may cause
damage to the system due to excessive expansion when water is introduced.
Overlling the system will also cause damage.
Unger’s pre-measured QuickChangeTM Replacement Resin Bags are designed to allow
controlled resin expansion within a designed safety limit.

SHUT OFF FEED WATER SUPPLY
• Depress yellow lever on system head assembly.
• Turn On/Off Valve to “OFF” position.
• Disconnect waterfed wash pole hose.
RELEASE SYSTEM HEAD ASSEMBLY
• While continuing to depress the yellow lever,
use a counterclockwise 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.
REPLACE RESIN
• Drop in new resin bag(s) by hand – be sure to
seat bags with zip-tie facing up. Pat down bag by
hand to ensure seated properly.
• Inspect system head assembly: O-ring
and FloWaterTM distribution filter are in
good condition.
RE-INSTALL DI SYSTEM HEAD ASSEMBLY
• Push down rmly, then quarter-turn clockwise.
RECONNECT WATERFED WASH POLE TUBING
• Open any valves in the output. Ensure all valves
in the output are open.
• Turn on water supply valve

Operation
1. Periodically inspect the HydroPower system during use. Ensure hoses are
properly attached. Inspect system for leaks and proper fit of top cap assembly.
2. Take care when working to ensure there is enough slack in waterfed wash pole
hose. This hose is connected to the top of the unit and excessive tugging may
cause the system to tip over.
3. Drinking water ows into the system’s lower connection port via tap pressure
and ows upwards through the HydroPower tank. Pure water exits through the
top connection. When plumbing line pressures fall below 40psi, a reduction in
ow rates will be noticeable.
4. The on/off valve can be used to adjust water ow rates coming out of the
waterfed wash pole brush jets. Excessive ow from the brush head jets can
cause water splattering from uncleaned glass back onto previously cleaned
areas, resulting in spotting.
