FIRST AID INFORMATION

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

DANGER

This product makes chlor-oxygen chemical compounds generated electrochemically from a

sodium chloride (salt) solution.

FIRST AID Have this product label with you when calling a Poison Control Center or doctor, or

going for treatment.

If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse with water for 15-20 minutes.

If swallowed: Call a Poison Control Center immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a

glass of water. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a Poison Control Center or doctor.

Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

If on skin: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20

minutes. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor for treatment advice.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Hazardous to Humans and Domestic Animals.

DANGER Causes irreversible eye damage. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Harmful if

swallowed. May irritate skin.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is toxic to ﬁsh and other aquatic organisms.

PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL HAZARDS Keep away from combustible, organic, or other readily

oxidizable materials. This product contains batteries. Batteries may explode or leak if disassem-

bled, short-circuited, overcharged, discharged too low, or disposed of in a ﬁre.

READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW all instructions and warnings in this manual before using

this puriﬁer. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in property damage,

serious injury or illness.
