10. CAUTION: Plug water puri fi er into approved ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Con fi rm lamp operation
indication at sight port.
11. Once the plumbing hook ups are made, it is a good practice to disinfect the “downstream” plumbing between the puri fi er and
point of use. This is done by introducing chlorine or other disinfectant solution directly into the puri fi er chamber, a 100-
ppm of chlorine is suggested. With the disinfectant solution in the puri fi er chamber, turn the ultraviolet puri fi er on. Open the
“downstream” outlet until a chlorine or disinfectant solution odor is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the disinfectant to
remain in the plumbing for at least three (3) hours. Flush the plumbing with ultraviolet puri
fi ed water; allow the water to run
for a minimum of 5 minutes before use (to ensure no chlorine or disinfectant solution smell can be detected), this will allow
the chlorine or disinfectant solution to be
fl ushed through the pipes.
CAUTION: For added protection, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the puri fi er. The drain pan must be
plumbed to an adequate, free fl owing drain to prevent water damage in the event of a leak. There are numerous leak
detection/ fl ood stop devices, available on the market today, designed to stop the fl ow of water, reducing the chance of
water damage due to leakage. For more details regarding leak prevention and/or limiting damages due to leaks, please
contact the factory.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO PERFORM TASK
WARNING: Water Puri fi er should NOT be installed or plumbed prior to following the instructions on this page.
NOTE: Some Mighty  Pure
®
Model MP49C models are packed without a quartz sleeve installed in the water puri fi er chamber
and instead have a PVC pipe installed temporarily (for shipping purposes). Please follow these instructions if applicable.
1. Pull off Easy-Off
™
end caps from static gland nut on each end of the water puri fi er chamber.
2. Unscrew static gland nuts from each end of the chamber and remove Te fl on
®
washer and o-ring from both ends of PVC pipe.
Set aside.
3. Remove PVC pipe and discard (REMINDER: be sure that the Te fl on
®
washer and o-ring from both ends of PVC pipe are
removed before discarding)
4. CAUTION: Broken Quartz is SHARP. It is recommended that protective goggles and gloves are worn when
handling. Remove quartz sleeve from separate package inside the carton which had contained the water puri fi er.
5. Align the end of the quartz sleeve with the gland fi tting on the chamber (the quartz sleeve can be inserted into the chamber
from either end of the water puri fi er chamber).
6. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve into the chamber guiding it through the gland fi tting. Make certain the quartz sleeve is
aligned in the center of the chamber. Do not force the sleeve sideways. This will result with the quartz sleeve breaking.
7. As the quartz sleeve nears the far end of the chamber, guide and support the quartz sleeve by inserting your fi nger through
the far end gland fi tting and into the end of the quartz sleeve. This will minimize the possibility of accidental breakage as the
quartz sleeve passes through the gland fi tting.
8. Center the quartz sleeve so equal lengths are protruding at each end past the gland fi ttings.
9. Reassemble the o-rings (Figure 3), Te fl on
®
washers (Figure 3) and gland nuts (Figure 3) in the order shown in Figure.
TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE QUARTZ SLEEVE WHEN INSTALLING THE GLAND NUTS. STRIKING THE
SLEEVE WITH THE GLAND NUT WILL BREAK THE END OF THE QUARTZ SLEEVE.
10. Tighten the static gland nuts fi rmly by hand. DO NOT USE HAND TOOLS . Using hand tools is likely to cause quartz
sleeve to break.
11. Proceed to the Lamp Installation or Replacement section of this manual to properly install the germicidal ultraviolet lamp in
the water puri fi er.
