INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION:
Follow the directions in this Guide when installing your system to ensure that it operates correctly.
CAUTION:
The Aquasafe Water Treatment Systems are designed for indoor use only.
LOCATION
1. A Module may be mounted on any vertical surface
capable of supporting the total weight of all system
modules (any type) when they are full of water.
#13 Module Assembly: 6 pounds.
#21 Module Assembly: 9 pounds.
2. Modules must have sufficient clearance to permit
easy removal/replacement of cartridges and to clean
the quartz sleeve:
Reverse Osmosis, Carbon, and Sediment
Modules:
#13 or #21:
Minimum of 6” below.
Ultraviolet Lamp Modules:
2
GPM:
Minimum of 15” above and below.
4.5
GPM:
Minimum of 15” above and below.
8.5
GPM:
Minimum of 25” above and below.
3. There must be sufficient clearance at each end of
a module assembly/system to complete source
water line and product water line connections.
4. A Reverse Osmosis (RO) module assembly must
have easy access to the drain for rinse water. Drain
must have sufficient capacity to carry the rated
system rinse water flow rate (Page ii). Space must
be available so that tubing may be routed without
bends or sharp curves.
5.
CAUTION:
Verify power outlet is grounded and that
it meets or exceeds local electrical codes
CAUTION:
Verify that power outlet and control box
are the same voltage rating (120 or 220 volts) before
proceeding with installation.
Position the system close enough to a grounded
power outlet to permit connection of the control
without an extension cord.
6. Module assemblies are positioned so that auxiliary
ports are facing forward, away from mounting
surface. In this configuration, water flow direction is
from left to right.
NOTE:
Some applications may require the system
be reversed when installed (water flow right to left).
This installation is not recommended, as there is
insufficient space between the module and mounting
surface to install gauges or other monitors.
HARDWARE
1. Mount the module using the proper screws or bolts
for the material composition of the selected location.
2. Mount the module using brackets provided.
Brackets must be installed exactly 6” on center.
NOTE:
The number of brackets required for an
installation is determined by the number of modules:
1 module/2 brackets
2 modules/3 brackets
3 modules/4 brackets
SOURCE WATER
CAUTION:
System may not be used where water is
microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before the system.
CAUTION:
System may be installed on potable
(drinkable) water supplies only.
1. Water pressure, temperature, and composition
should be tested to determine system requirements.
2. Water must meet the parameters listed in the
CONDITIONS FOR USE (Page iii, Table 1). Source
water exceeding chemical parameters requires
pretreatment.
3.
CAUTION:
The Thin Film Composite material used
in the membrane may be damaged by chlorine.
A reverse osmosis system installed on a source
water supply containing free chlorine must include
an activated carbon filter before the membrane.
CAUTION:
System will not function properly if water
flow is reversed.
CAUTION:
To ensure maximum UV exposure, UV
systems should include pre-filters to process the
water before it reaches the UV lamp. These filters
will remove the suspended solids that may shield the
microbes and make it difficult to obtain sufficient UV
exposure.
MULTIPLE MODULE INSTALLATIONS
1. Module types must be connected in sequence (as
applicable): sediment, carbon, reverse osmosis, and
ultraviolet.
