Section 1. Safety Precautions
• The LINX 160 system should be installed, serviced and maintained by an Authorized Dealer to assure
that they comply with state and local laws and regulations as well as providing optimum performance.
Massachusetts requires a licensed plumber to install the product according to plumbing code 248-CMR
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A Supplement to the Owner’s Manual for Installation and
Maintenance is available for qualified technicians.
• Read and follow all instructions carefully before using the LINX 160 Drinking Water System.
• DO NOT open the cell lid or outer enclosure when the LINX 160 system is powered. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
• If the detachable power cord is damaged it must be replaced.
• Install the LINX 160 systems upright (not on their side). Use with cold feed water ONLY (33-100˚F;
1-40˚C).
• DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the systems.
• The systems are designed to operate with supply water pressure in the range of 20-100 psi (130-690 kPa).
If the pressure exceeds 100 psi (690 kPa), a pressure regulator must be installed.
• These systems are not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the systems by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the systems.
• Systems must be served by a GFCI outlet in Wisconsin.
• Grounding Instructions: These systems must be properly grounded. In the event of a malfunction,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock. These systems are equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Warning: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the systems are
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the systems. If the plug will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
