Installation of UV Disinfection System
Section 3 Installation of UV Disinfection System
C A U T I O N
The disinfection system is designed to be mounted either horizontally or vertically at the point-of-use or point-of-entry
depending on the specific flow rate of the unit.
If installing the chamber in horizontal position the outlet port must be pointing upwards to ensure all air is fully purged from
the chamber.
Figure 2 Disinfection Installation - Vertical and Horizontal
Vertical Horizontal
Note: The ideal installation is vertical with the lamp connector on top. This is to prevent water damage from occurring on the
lamp pins and lamp connector.
• The controller should be mounted either above or beside the chamber. Always mount controller horizontally to prevent
moisture from running down cordage and causing a potential fire hazard. Drip loops in all cordage connected to
controller is highly recommended. Refer to
Figure 5 .
• The complete water system, including any pressure or hot water tanks, must be sterilized before start up by flushing with
chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any residual contamination. Refer to
Section 3.1 .
• The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only. DO NOT install disinfection system where it may be exposed to
the weather.
• Install the disinfection system on cold water line only, before any branched lines.
• A 5 micron sediment filter must precede the disinfection system. Ideally, the disinfection system should be the last
treatment the water receives before it reaches the faucet.
Procedure:
1. The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended in case the system requires “off-line” maintenance. In this case, note
the system requires a supplementary disinfection for the distribution system if any water is used during by-pass
condition. In addition, during by-pass, the water will NOT be disinfected and a “DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER” tag
should be physically installed on the by-pass assembly until such time as the system is sanitized and returned to
service. For more information, refer to
Section 3.1 . If the water is to be consumed while the system is off-line, the water
must be boiled for twenty minutes prior to consumption.
2. Select a suitable location for the disinfection system and its related components. As it is recommended to install a GFCI,
make sure that this is taken into consideration prior to any installation. The system can either be installed vertically (inlet
port at the bottom) as shown in
Figure 3 A , or horizontally as shown in Figure 3 B . However, the vertical installation is
the most preferred method. When selecting a mounting location, leave enough space to allow the removal of the UV
lamp and/or quartz sleeve (typically leave a space equal to the size of the chamber itself).
Electronic controller must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle and the lamp connector ground wire connected to the
stainless steel chamber.
