Greenway Home Products VPS1140 User Manual

To ensure system performance, all replacement components should be purchased directly from an authorized dealer or directly from Greenway
Home Products. The use of components purchased from other sources will void the warranty, and will potentially cause the system to function in
a lesser capacity than intended.
The UV lamp and quartz tube should be serviced annually to ensure proper performance.
Filter cartridges should be replaced every six months, or when the pressure drop through the cartridges inhibit water flow in the home to the
point where pressure losses are being experienced.
The life of the UV lamp, quartz tube and filter cartridges are estimates only, and will vary dependant upon the influent water quality.
Replacement/service schedules referenced above should be a maximum, and more frequent service/cartridge replacement may be required
dependant upon your local water quality.
The VPS1140 is intended for the supplemental bactericidal treatment of disinfected public drinking water or other drinking water which has
been tested and deemed acceptable for human consumption by the provincial/state or local health agency having jurisdiction. The VPS1140 is
designed to reduce normally occurring non-pathogenic nuisance microorganisms.
If you will be using an untreated surface water or groundwater source (rather than a municipal supply source) that has been deemed
acceptable for human consumption by the provincial/state or local health agency having jurisdiction, additional pre-treatment of the water prior
to the VPS1140 may be required.
The filtration provided with the VPS1140 is 5 µm nominal, and is not suitable for the reduction of protozoan cysts.
2.1 Water Quality Parameters
Water quality will adversely affect the performance of your vitapur
®
VPS1140, particularly when untreated surface water or groundwater
is being used as the source of supply, if the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL’s) for the following six critical water quality characteristics are
being exceeded:
Iron
Total iron count must be less than 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Hydrogen Sulfide
Count must be less 0.05 ppm (0.05mg/L)
Suspended Solids
Count must be less than 5 ppm (5mg/L)
Manganese
Count must be less than 0.05 ppm (0.05mg/L)
Hardness
Count must be less than 120 ppm (7 grains per gallon)
%UVT (transmittance)
Must be greater than 75%
If you are using untreated surface water or untreated groundwater as your source of supply, the suitability of the water supply for potable
applications must be confirmed by provincial / state and/or local health agency having jurisdiction.
If the test results indicate that: (1) any of the above MCL’s are being exceeded, or (2) any prevailing drinking water health standards
are not being met, additional pretreatment facilities must be installed that will eliminate all contaminants, which pose health risks.
