Introduction
Thank you for choosing nLite HydroPowerTM for your purewater 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 commercial grade zero TDS purewater for site glass cleaning and other
applications that utilize deioinized water.
The production of purewater, or deionization, is based on the principal of ion
exchange. In this process, the minerals responsible for producing hardness and
conductivity (TDS values) are removed from the water.
The use of nLite HydroPower has the following advantages:
• 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.
• nLite HydroPower units are made with high strength plastic and can withstand
excessive water hammer pressure spikes.
• QuickChangeTM resin bags are factory filled with the precise amount of
premium grade 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. 13).
For all inquiries and spare parts orders, it is important to provide detailed
information located on the device.

Purified water is delivered to the waterfed wash pole by flexible hose from the
nLite HydroPower system. 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 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 waterfed wash pole and
deionization equipment1:
• 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.
• Spread of Legionnaires disease through poor maintenance of system.
• Hazards from carrying tanks, systems and equipment that are overloaded,
unstable, unsecured or incorrectly installed within a vehicle.

System Overview
• Unger nLite HydroPower systems contain mixed bed ion exchange resin to
“filter” impurities out of ordinary drinking water, converting it into a powerful
cleaning agent commonly referred to as PureWater. 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 0.00 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. This solution of captured dirt is then carried away,
leaving only Pure Water on the surface where it 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.
• 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:
1. Remove top cap assembly by 1/4 turn,
pull off cap.
2. Lift out resin bag(s) and replace
with new bag(s).
3. Re-install top cap.

• nLite HydroPower systems are 30% more efcient than ordinary de-ionizing
tank systems. HydroPower’s FloWaterTM Technology delivers a uniform
distribution of water through the filtering resin eliminating water channels
(these channels allow untreated water to bypass through the system). The nLite
HydroPower reduces the consumption of resin and decreases the cost of Pure
Water production…so that you buy and replace resin less often.
• 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 to maximize
system efficiency and avoid “bypass.” Bypass is when water finds a path through
the system without being processed.
• nLite HydroPower systems are factory equipped with standard 3/4” Quick-
Connect ttings. Conversion kits are commonly available so that feed water
and waterfed wash pole tubing can be connected. Fittings are also
commonly called Gardena fittings2.

Start-Up
1. Locate jobsite drinking water supply.
2. Before window cleaning can begin, the system must be connected to a drinking
water supply. If well water system is the source, it is recommended that a
water quality analysis be performed prior to application.
3. Unger recommends testing the water supply for TDS (total dissolved solids)
prior to working. Higher TDS levels reduce the DI system‘s capacity. Conversely,
lower TDS levels will increase the amount of water the system is able to
produce.
4. Inspect system – ensure Unger’s QuickChangeTM Resin Bag(s) are properly
installed, with zip-tie facing up.
a. 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 systems with
too much resin will also cause damage.
b. Unger’s pre-measured QuickChange Resin Bags are designed to
allow a controlled resin expansion within a designed safety limit.
5. Set up system in upright position. Choose a stable onsite location; best to
locate near work area.
6. Connect hoses to system (drinking water and waterfed wash pole tubing).
Bottom connection is for drinking water supply, top connection is for waterfed
wash pole tubing.
7. Quick connect ttings are supplied with the HydroPower system.
Install quick connect fitting adapter (shipped with unit) to waterfed
wash pole tubing if necessary.
8. Ensure all waterfed wash pole on/off valves are in “OPEN” position.
9. Turn feed water supply “ON” slowly.
10. Inspect system as it pressurizes and begins producing “PureWater.”
Keep discharge line open and hold down yellow FastLockTM opening lever to
remove trapped air from system. Use only with drinking water.
11. Turn on TDS meter and inspect “PureWater” quality. A reading of ‘0.00’ is best
and indicates the system is running properly (product water contains zero
parts per million total dissolved solids). Unger recommends changing resin
bags when TDS levels reach 10 ppm.
12. Adjust ow at waterfed wash pole brush head by:
a. On/off valve at base of unit or
b. Waterfed wash pole control (on/off) valve.
13. You are ready to start cleaning.

System Maintenance - Change 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 systems will also cause damage.
Unger’s pre-measured QuickChangeTM Replacement Resin Bags are designed to allow
a controlled resin expansion within a designed safety limit.
1. SHUT OFF DRINKING WATER SUPPLY VALVE
a. Shut off drinking water supply and open wash pole
tubing discharge line.
b. Disconnect feed drinking water line and allow
system to drain.
2. REMOVE TOP CAP ASSEMBLY
a. Depress yellow FastLockTM Opening lever to
release system pressure.
b. Fix the base of the unit with your feet,
then press the top cap down and with a counter-
clockwise 1/4 turn to release top cap assembly.
Remove and set aside. Tip: Disconnect incoming
water hose and open the on/off valve to allow easy
removal of QuickChange Resin Bags.
c. Reach into housing and remove exhausted resin
bag(s) by hand; discard according to local regulations.
3. REPLACE RESIN
a. Install new resin bag(s) by hand – be sure to place
bags with zip-tie facing up and sewing parallel to
vessel top edge. Pat down the top of bags by hand
to ensure seated properly.
b. Inspect system head assembly: O-ring and
FloWaterTM distribution filter are in good condition.
Re-coat o-ring with silicone lubricant only.
c. Re-install DI System head assembly. Secure unit
with your feet, then press down with a 1/4 turn
clockwise.
d. System is ready to be operated.
4. RECONNECT WATERFED WASH POLE TUBING
a. Turn “ON“ water supply at spigot.
b. Inspect system as it pressurizes.
c. Keep discharge line open and hold down yellow
lever to remove trapped air from system.

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
tubing. This tubing is connected to the top of the unit, and excessive tugging
may cause the system to tip over.
3. Drinking water flows into the system’s lower connection port via tap pressure
and flows upwards through the HydroPower tank. Pure Water exits through the
top connection. When plumbing line pressures fall below 40psi, a reduction in
flow 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.
