1. LOCATE JOBSITE WATER SUPPLY
Unger recommends testing the on‐site water supply for TDS (total dissolved solids) prior
to working. Higher TDS levels reduce the system's capacity.
• Inspect system – ensure Unger's Ultra Resin Packs are properly installed: the red Resin
Pack is only used on a large tank unit and placed in the middle and bottom position.
The green Resin Pack is used in all units and is placed in the top position. NOTE: The
performance of HydroPower Ultra is optimized when used with Ultra Resin Packs.
NEVER use loose resin as it may damage the system.
• Set up system in upright position.
• Choose a stable on‐site location.
2. CONNECT WATERFED WASH POLE TUBING
• Attach waterfed wash pole hose onto Water OUT connection (fig. A).
• Ensure all on/off valves are in "OPEN" position when filling system.
3. CONNECT WATER SUPPLY (GARDEN HOSE) TO WATER IN CONNECTION
• Thread On/Off Valve to garden hose prior to connecting water supply (fig. B).
• Attach On/Off Valve directly onto Water IN connection at base of unit (fig. C).
4. TURN ON FEED WATER SUPPLY
• When water begins to flow out of the unit, turn on TDS meter and inspect pure water
quality (fig. D). A reading of '0' is best and indicates the system is running properly.
When the TDS meter reaches 10ppm or higher the resin should be replaced.
• Adjust flow at waterfed pole brush head by:
- Tap water valve or,
- Waterfed wash pole control (on/off) valve (if applicable).
