NOTE

Do not use pipe dope or tape on these top 

threads before attaching gland nut.

Thinner O-Ring

Thicker O-Ring

1.

  There are two mounting holes on the mounting bracket.  

  Both of them should be mounted directly on to a  

 

  wall stud with appropriate screws to carry the weight of  

  the unit.  Included mounting hardware only works for    

  studs, they are lag bolts and a hole will need to be drilled  

  to put them in without cracking the stud. 

2.

  Install new plumbing using (

Fig 2) 

as reference of how   

  the final installation should look.

3.

  Unscrew the filter sump and remove the sanitary wrap from  

  the filter cartridges. Reinsert the new cartridge into the  

  sump and screw the sump back onto the filter. Hand-tighten  

 only.

4.

  Carefully unpack UV lamp and quartz dome. Two o-rings  

  come with the quartz dome. The thinner o-ring is  

 

  installed in the groove of the gland nut. 

5.

 Gently slide the dome O-ring (thicker) over the top (open end)  

  of the quartz dome to about 1” from the open end (

Fig 4

).

6. 

Gently insert the quartz dome into the gland nut and    

  gently rotate the dome while pushing in until it goes past  

  the nut O-ring and touches the inside top end of the   

  gland nut.

 (Fig 5)

.

7. 

Carefully slide the quartz dome with gland nut attached  

  into the opening at the top of the UV chamber  

   (

Fig 6A & 6B)

 and hand-tighten the gland nut into place.

8. 

Slowly open supply-valve and valves before and after UV  

 system. 

Check for leaks. Do not proceed to next step  

  until leaks are fixed

.

CAUTION!

Do not overtighten the gland nut as it can  

break the quartz dome.

NOTE

Hold lamp and dome by the ends with

soft, dry gloves or cloth. lamp needs to stay  

perfectly clean, any dirt or fingerprints on the 

lamp will reduce the life.

NOTE

Broken quartz domes are not covered  

under warranty.

WARNING!

Do not mount the unit directly on drywall  

without appropriate reinforcement

CAUTION!

DO NOT USE WRENCH TO TIGHTEN SUMP.
