Figure 12 Removing Tubing from fittings

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

1.The Sterilight unit is NOT designed to operate with hot water. Run only cool tap water through the unit.

2.The ultraviolet lamp in the unit has a useful life of 10,000 on-off cycles or more. One cycle could be a small cup of water or a large pitcher. To maximize the life of the lamp, it is best to get a pitcher to store in the refrigerator for drinking during the day, as opposed to running it several times to draw individual glasses of water.

3.Depending on the model, your Sterilight ultraviolet lamp may stay illuminated for approximately 30 seconds after flow through the unit has ceased. This is normal and is not cause for concern.

REPLACING THE FILTER

The filter element in the Sterilight unit is a high-performance, multi-layer extruded design. The element has been specifically designed to complement the patented ozone/UV photo-oxidation process. Replacement filters can be obtained through

your Sterilight dealer.

The unit MUST NOT be operated without a filter element except when sanitizing (page 8).

Replace the filter whenever:

1. The filter has been in service six or more months.

2.1900 or more liters of water (500 gallons) have been processed by the unit.

3.The filter shows signs of dirt build-up or deterioration, evidenced by a decrease in the rate of water flow, or a decrease in the swirling bubble action.

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that the unit be unplugged. The Sterilight unit contains a high intensity ultraviolet lamp that can damage tissues in the eye. The UV wavelengths cannot travel through the plastic housing. However, removing the filter requires that the cap be removed, exposing the lamp. DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT UNPLUGGING THE UNIT!

The Sterilight unit uses state-of-the-art Speed Fit® fittings. They rely on a lock ring to hold the tubing in place. To remove tubing from the fitting, hold the lock ring against the fitting while pulling on the tubing. While it is possible to do this with your fingers, included with your Sterilight unit is a tubing disconnect tool to make removing the fittings easier (Figure 12).

Point-of-Use Drinking Water System specifications

The Sterilite Point-of-Use Drinking Water System is an advanced water purification solution designed to deliver safe and great-tasting drinking water directly from your tap. This innovative system utilizes a combination of cutting-edge technologies to ensure that your water is free from contaminants, while maintaining its natural minerals.

One of the standout features of the Sterilite system is its multi-stage filtration process. This system typically combines sediment filtration, activated carbon filtration, and a high-efficiency reverse osmosis membrane. The sediment filter removes larger particles such as dirt and rust, while the activated carbon filter effectively eliminates chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other harmful chemicals that can impact taste and odor. The reverse osmosis membrane then provides a fine level of filtration, targeting dissolved solids, heavy metals, and numerous other impurities.

Additionally, the Sterilite Point-of-Use Drinking Water System incorporates a mineral adding stage post-filtration. This feature enriches the water with essential minerals that can enhance taste and nutritional value, ensuring that you not only consume clean water but also enjoy its natural flavor.

The system is designed for convenience and ease of use. It typically comes with a sleek, compact design that fits seamlessly into modern kitchens. Installation is straightforward, allowing users to connect the system to their existing plumbing without the need for professional help. The intuitive user interface often includes LED indicators that signal when filters need replacement, making maintenance a hassle-free experience.

Furthermore, the Sterilite system emphasizes sustainability. By providing high-quality water from a point-of-use source, it significantly reduces the dependence on single-use plastic water bottles, thus contributing to environmental conservation efforts.

In summary, the Sterilite Point-of-Use Drinking Water System stands out for its robust filtration technologies, ease of installation, and user-friendly features. Its commitment to delivering safe, mineral-enriched drinking water makes it a viable choice for households seeking to enhance their hydration solutions while prioritizing health and environmental sustainability. With this system, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your drinking water is purified, convenient, and environmentally responsible.
