onstruCtion
• These units have been designed to be CE compliant. These units have been tested to and comply with the requirements of
the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and the Machinery Directive. The Declaration of Conformity lists the European
Norm (EN) standards to which these units were tested, to demonstrate conformity.
• The water purifier is designed to mount horizontally.
• The water purifier’s chamber and chamber head are passivated and electropolished type 316 Stainless Steel.
• The ballast housing is a combination of Stainless Steel Type 304 and Aluminum Alloy.
• EASY-OFF ™ End Caps enable quick and easy lamp change, without disconnecting from the water supply or draining the
purifier. No tools are required.
Always disconnect electrical power when changing lamp.
• Coated chambers are available for uses with special applications, consult Factory. Coated chambers are not recommended for
use in drinking water applications or in applications where the treated product is consumed.
• The water purifier’s removable chamber head design facilitates the ease of maintenance ( SANITRON ® m
oDel
s37C only ) .
• A drain port on the chamber aids in draining of the purifier.
• The dual action wiper mechanism allows for quick and easy quartz sleeve cleaning, without interrupting service.

The SANITRON

design has been carefully conceived to provide adequate germicidal dosage throughout
the disinfection chamber. The dosage, as it applies to ultraviolet disinfection, is a function of time and the intensity of ultraviolet
radiation to which the water is exposed. The exposure time, in seconds, is the total time it takes the water to flow through the
disinfection chamber exposing it to the germicidal lamp. Exposure time is related to the flow rate; the higher the flow rate, the
lower the exposure time or the lower the flow rate, the higher the exposure time. The ultraviolet intensity is the amount of energy,
per unit time, emitted by the germicidal lamp. The dosage is the product of ultraviolet intensity and the exposure time. The
operation of the SANITRON

is as follows:
• Water enters the purifier and flows into the annular space between the quartz sleeve and the chamber wall.
• Suspended microorganisms are exposed to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp.
• The translucent sight port, or optional ultraviolet monitor, provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
•
Water leaving the purifier is instantly ready for use, no further contact time is required.
• The dual action wiper mechanism facilitates periodic cleaning of the quartz sleeve without disassembly or interruption of
purifier operation. ( SANITRON

The water purifier is intended for the use with visually clear water, not colored, cloudy or turbid. See
“Water Quality”
section
below. The water purifier is
NOT
intended for the treatment of water that has an obvious contamination or intentional source,
such as raw sewage; nor is the unit intended to convert wastewater to microbiologically safe drinking water.

Q
uality
Water quality plays a major role in the transmission of germicidal ultraviolet rays. It is recommended that the water does not
exceed the following maximum concentration levels:
Table 1 - Maximum Concentration Levels
Turbidity < 1 NTU
Manganese 0.05 mg/1
Total Suspended Solids 10 mg /1
pH: 6.5 - 9.5
Color: None
Hardness 6 GPG or 102.6 PPM
Iron 0.3 mg/1
Tannins: < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/l)
UV Transmission >85% per cm*
* Contact Factory for recommendations on applications where
UV transmission is < 85%
Effectively treating water with higher concentration levels than
listed can be accomplished, but may require added measures to
improve water quality to treatable levels. If, for any reason, it is
believed the ultraviolet transmission is not satisfactory, contact
the factory.
