UNPACKING – Carefully unpack the contents of
the product carton. It should include the system,
Installation Guide & Owner’s Manual, Warranty
Registration sheet, an accessory pack and a supply
of colored tubing. Check to make certain there was
no damage during shipment. If damage is evident,
contact the shipping company or your distributor
immediately.
DATA – Locate the serial tag on the system and record
it on the blue Warranty Registration sheet. Provide
all of the information requested on the Warranty
Registration sheet and mail it immediately to Vista
Research Group, LLC upon installation. Write the
date of installation and the installer’s name on the tag
using a ne tip, permanent marker (e.g. a Sharpie®)
or some other writing instrument that will not smear.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS – The system is a
unique design that combines several technologies
using multiple stages to produce the highest purity
product – water with a total dissolved solids (TDS)
reading as low as zero (000).
The rst stage is a Prelter that removes sediment,
chlorine and other contaminants by physical ltration,
absorption and adsorption. Next is the Hyperltration
stage where pressure from the water source and the
non-electric permeate pump forces the water through
a semi-permeable membrane removing contaminants
at the molecular level. Contaminants are rinsed away
from the membrane and down the drain. The water
is then sent to two cartridges in series that contains
both cationic and anionic resins for removing any
remaining contaminants by a Deionization process.
The nished water is sent to a 2.7 gallon storage tank
where it is delivered on demand to the autoclave ller
wand or the bottle faucet as needed. Water running
to the secondary faucet (for lling bottles, etc.) runs
through the Polishing lter after leaving the tank
where a small amount of dissolved solids is added
back to the water to prevent corrosion.
LOCATION: The VistaPure system can be installed
nearly anywhere in the typical dental, medical, lab or
hospital setting, typically near a faucet and sink. The
system and tank are designed to t under a countertop
and connect directly to the cold water supply line and
drain. It may also be installed in any area where there
is a quality cold water supply and drain connection.
INSTALLATION: Although actual installation of
VistaPure is quite simple, you may wish to enlist the
services of a professional technician since your system
is going to be directly connected to the plumbing
system. He/she is familiar with the wide variety of
possible installation options, running of water and
drain lines, local plumbing codes and techniques for
successful equipment installations.
Installation Procedure
( Please refer to drawings that follow )
1. 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.
2. Position storage tank as near VistaPure system
board as possible.
3. Locate the white elbow tank valve in accessory
pack and attach valve to the side of the tank. Hand-
tighten only!! Never use tools on system valves and
ttings!
4. Provide for a 1/4” connection to the cold water
supply. This is usually done using a piercing saddle
valve or compression tting.
5. Provide a 1-1/2” vertical drain riser with trap as
shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4. The Air Gap drain
tting and 1/4” push-type tting is included in the
accessory pack. The Air Gap drain tting should be
glued to the drain riser as shown. See page 6 for drain
congurations.
6. Mount the faucet on the sink or countertop deck.
The faucet & push-type faucet connector tting are
included in the accessory kit.
7. Attach colored tubing to the proper segments on the
system manifold and the appliance/device as shown
in Figure 2. When attaching tubing to the push-type
ttings, make certain all tubing cuts are straight and
free from burrs. Tubing must be rmly inserted into
the tting (11/16” plunge) to avoid leaks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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. See Figure 7 for the proper
coil layout.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the VistaPure system is
to be installed remote to the autoclave(s) and/or in a
cabinet, sh the solid blue tubing behind cabinetry
to the autoclave center. The solid blue tubing and
the coiled blue tubing are to be joined with the white
1/4” x 3/8” push-type union that is already attached
to one end of the coiled tubing. Please see Figure 2.
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.
