Installation and Operating Instructions

Page 2 of 8 804984 - SP_Zip Filter MicroPurity - 06.18 v1.02
• Designed for indoor use only – do not expose filters to the elements of nature.
• Do not install where exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures <4°C or >40°C.
• Must be installed with service isolating valve and double non-return valve.
• Minimum safe operating water pressure is 70 kPa, maximum 700 kPa.
• Must be installed with pressure reduction valve if pressure exceeds 700 kPa.
• Do not install where water quality is unknown or microbiologically unsafe.
• After a period of non-use thoroughly flush the filter or tanks.
• For safety’s sake, replace all filter cartridges at intervals of 12 months or less.
• Replace any filter if water flow slows or if unpleasant tastes or odours occur.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certied for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected water that may contain lterable cysts. EPA Establish-
ment 070595-MEX-001
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through
existing electric wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:
• Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in path of a drilling tool
when selecting the position to mount the system bracket.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to
drop below 4.4°C.
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 43° C.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature
of this system is 38°C.
• If water pressure exceeds 700 kPa, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Con-
tact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer condi-
tions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing profes-
sional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Where a backow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
• Do not use a gas torch or other high temperature sources near system, cartridges,
plastic ttings or plastic plumbing.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• When selecting the position to mount the bracket do not install near water pipes
which will be in path of a drilling tool.
• Mount system in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items
used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when
installed and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• Do not install using rigid piping. System intended for use with plastic water lines
(such as PEX tubing, PE tubing, PP tubing).
• The disposable lter cartridge MUST be replaced every 12 months, at the rated
capacity or sooner if a noticeable reduction in ow rate occurs.
