Installation
If the system is not already mounted in another product (sterilization center, etc�), mount as desired
near a cold water source and 1-1/2” drain�
Position the water storage tank as near to the VistaPure system board as possible, at the same level�
Locate the white elbow tank valve in the accessory pack and attach valve to the top of the storage
tank� Hand-tighten only—never use tools on system valves and fittings! Make sure to open the tank
valve after installing it on the tank—the system will not work if the tank valve is closed� (A valve handle
in the open position is in line with the tubing; when closed, it is 90° to the tubing�)
Provide for a 1/4” connection to the cold water supply� This is usually accomplished using a piercing
saddle valve or compression fitting on the cold water line� Check local codes�
Provide a drain connection using 1-1/2” material with trap as shown on page 7� A 1-1/2” utility Tee
with both 3/8” and 1/4” push-in type fittings are included with each VistaPure� Various optional
configurations are available� See page 7 for details�
Mount the faucet on the sink or countertop deck in the sterilization center, lab or kitchenette as
desired� The faucet & 1/4” push-type faucet connector fitting are included in the accessory kit�
Attach colored tubing to the proper segments on the system manifold and the appliance/device as
shown below and on page 5� When attaching tubing to the push-type fittings, make certain all tubing
cuts are straight and free from burrs� Tubing must be firmly inserted into the fitting (11/16” plunge) to
avoid leaks�

• If the system is mounted inside a cabinet, under a sink or on a sliding device, be careful that tubes are
not crushed or crimped� If the system is on a sliding device for easy access, make certain to create a coil
with the tubes that will allow the system to move in and out without causing damage or restriction�
• If the VistaPure system is to be installed remote to the autoclave(s) and/or in a cabinet, fish the solid
blue tubing behind cabinetry to the autoclave center� Join the solid blue tubing and the coiled blue
tubing with the white 1/4” x 3/8” push-type union that is already attached to one end of the coiled
tubing� Make certain to provide a restraint at the straight end of the coiled tubing near the union so that
when pulling out on the autoclave wand and coiled tubing the union connection is not stressed� Extra
lengths of tubing are included with each system� A zip tie with mounting hole is provided with system�

After all tubing connections have been made, it’s very important to cleanse the system� Place 20-30
mL of clean water into a small paper cup and add about two (2) drops of standard household bleach�
Stir gently with the 35 mL syringe included in the accessory kit, then pull the solution into the syringe�
Remove the safety cap from the injection port on the manifold (see page 5) by holding the collet back
against the cap fitting and pulling it away from the check valve� Inject the mixed solution into the
Injection Port� Then, draw another 20-30 mL of fresh water into the syringe and inject it into the Port
in order to push all the bleach out of the check valve� Replace the safety cap by pushing it firmly onto
the Injection Port tube� Immediately open the Water Supply Inlet Valve (I) on the manifold and water
will begin to flow into the system, filling the tank with treated water and the bleach�
