(E) DISINFECTION PROCEDURE
Before service begins, all household plumbing lines should be disinfected to prevent the possibility of re-contamination after UV disinfection. You
should also disinfect your plumbing system if the power goes out for several hours or more or if the unit has been accidentally shut-off for several
hours or more. It is advisable to disinfect the plumbing lines at least once a year. If the bypass is used, the water system of the house should be
disinfected in the same way it was in initial installation. Disinfect after using bypass as well.
The following is a general method for disinfection of plumbing lines. If you are uncertain about the
efficacy of this procedure you are advised to contact your local health authority responsible for water
safety.
1.
Shut off the supply valve and de-pressurize the lines by opening a tap until it runs dry.
2.
Remove the filter in the filter housing and add about 1-2 cups (250-500ml) of unscented household bleach (5 to 6% sodium hypochlorite) to the
empty filter housing and put it back on the filter head.
3.
Open the supply valve and slowly open a faucet and let the water run until you can smell the chlorine and then shut the faucet off. Repeat the
procedure for all hot and cold outlets in the house. Add more bleach as required. Run hot faucets longer to allow the chlorine to come through
the hot water tank.
4.
Leave the bleach solution in the plumbing system for about 6 to 8 hours preferably overnight.
5.
Shut-off the supply valve again and open a faucet to depressurize the
system. Open the filter housing and re-install the filter cartridge and then
re-attach the filter housing. Make sure that the UV system is ON.
6.
Take off aerators (if any) on the faucets, open the supply valve slowly, and
thoroughly flush all outlets until the chlorine smell is minimal.
7.
You are ready to use the water now.
