Unpacking the UV System

Your UV system includes the following items:

Install Location

If your water comes from a well or a lake/river etc., the UV should be installed after your pump and pressure tank. To prevent damage to the UV 

system, do not install it between well pump and pressure tank. If you have other water filters/conditioner installed, such as softener/iron filter etc., 

the UV system should always be installed as the last step of treatment before the water pipes divide into hot and cold 

(Fig 2

).

Fittings Required for Installation (Not Included)

Fittings required for a typical install on 3/4” copper pipe are 3/4” FNPT female adapters, 3/4” Tee, 3/4” Elbows, 3/4” copper pipe, 3/4” union 

couplings and 3/4” ball valves. You may need different fittings if your pipe size or material is different. If you are unsure of what fittings to use, 

please call Aqua Flo.

CAUTION

UV light can degrade plastics over time. If your water pipe is plastic (such as PEX), it is 

recommended that you use at least 6 to 12 inches of UV-resistant material (e.g. copper) 

on the inlet and outlet of the UV unit to prevent damage, and potential flooding.
