MAINTENANCE
The water purifier is designed to operate with a minimal amount of maintenance, providing the water quality does not exceed
maximum concentration levels, see
“Water Quality”
in the
“Product Application”
section. Ordinary maintenance consists of:
• Lamp replacement is recommended every 10,000 hours of operation, approximately 12 months of continuous service.
• Cleaning of the quartz sleeve, when conditions warrant. It is recommended that the inspection of quartz sleeve be performed
after one month of use. If quartz sleeve is found to be coated (not clear), then frequency of cleaning must be done more often.
Deposits or discoloration on the surface of quartz sleeve are caused by excessive levels of the subject contaminant within
the water that is in contact with the quartz sleeve. Most deposits on the quartz sleeve are caused by an excess of calcium
(hardness), iron or manganese.
Table 1
on Page 4 lists the maximum recommended concentration of these minerals in the
water that passes through the ultraviolet purifier. If you encounter difficulty due to deposits on the quartz sleeve, your dealer
will be able to recommend suitable pretreatment to reduce or eliminate the offending contaminant. If quartz sleeve is clean
(clear) then frequency of cleaning may be extended.
NOTE:
SANITRON
®
Ultraviolet water purifiers are equipped with
a manual wiping mechanism making the process of routine cleaning easier and therefore, recommended weekly or at
the very least monthly to insure your performance. NOTE: The use of optional
GUARDIAN
™
Ultraviolet Monitor will
detect loss of transmission due to coating on the quartz sleeve.
•
Always disconnect the water supply and completely drain the water purifier if it will be subjected to temperatures
below freezing.
• Contact factory with questions.
i
nsPeCtion
1.
Regularly inspect the water purifier to ensure that the germicidal lamp is still in operation.
•
On purifiers not equipped with the Ultraviolet Monitor, lamp operation can be verified by a visible glow through the
translucent sight port. This provides an indication of lamp operation and does not indicate the level of ultraviolet
intensity or transmission through the water.
•
On purifiers so equipped, the
GUARDIAN
™
Ultraviolet Monitor provides visual indication of the ultraviolet intensity
through the quartz sleeve and water in the purifier chamber.
2.
To ensure proper operation of the water purifier, regular biological testing of the purifier output water should be performed
on a schedule recommended by local public health authorities, or at minimum; at installation, quarterly for the first year of
service and annually, at lamp replacement, for the life of the water purifier.
3.
Additional testing should be performed whenever modifications, change, or additions are made to plumbing system, pumps,
well source water etc. to ensure adequate disinfection under new condition.
4.
As with any water purifier installation, routine maintenance is necessary to ensure your equipment is operating correctly.
Regular inspection must also include confirmation that approved ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle is
still operational and that water purifier is plugged into this GFCI. Any components which are damaged or broken
should be replaced.
