the quartz sleeve, a mild acid may be used (i.e. vinegar). Be certain to follow all recommended safety
and handling procedures on the acid container. It is important to
handle the quartz sleeve with care to prevent breakage. Make certain that all finger prints are wiped
clean before reinstalling (see installation of the quartz sleeve). Replace O-Rings [ATS8-544(2)] every
time a quartz sleeve is cleaned or replaced.
U.V. LAMPS:
INSTALLATION OF THE ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS:
CAUTION: Never look directly at an operating U.V. lamp and never operate a U.V. lamp outside the
disinfection chamber.**DO NOT PUT POWER ON AT THIS TIME!**
Make sure unit is unplugged when installing or servicing ultraviolet lamp. Remove any paper tabs on
the U.V. lamp and avoid allowing fingerprints and other debris to deposit. Carefully place the bulb
inside the quartz sleeve leaving enough space to connect the socket connector to the lamp pins. Slide
the protective brass shrouds over the brass end nuts to secure the lamp is in place.
ULTRAVIOLET LAMP MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:
The U.V. lamp is rated for 9,000 hours of continuous use. After this period of time, the U.V. lamp has
undergone a photochemical change. While the lamp will not normally be burned out, the lamp quartz
may no longer emit the 254-nm shortwave U.V. to effectively kill bacteria. Failure to replace the U.V.
lamps every 9,000 hours may cause bacteriological breakthrough. Should the use of the disinfec-
tion unit be intermittent, in no case should the U.V. lamp be used for more than 24 months regardless
of the number of hours of operation due to normal shelf life degradation of the U.V. bulb. Changing
the quartz sleeve should be done at the same time U.V. lamp replacement is scheduled.
Also replace O-Rings.
Check with the dealer that installed your system, or aquat.com to find the distributor in your
area for replacement parts.
It is recommended that your water supply be tested periodically (yearly) through your local health
department or approved certified laboratory.
ELECTRICAL:
The DWS C Series are furnished with 6' line cord that will plug into a 115V outlet. Electrical recep-
tacles must be properly grounded for safe operation. Improper grounding will void any warranty.
When possible use a separate breaker to minimize voltage fluctuations and avoid accidental shut off.
After unit is installed and water is turned on, plug the unit into 115V wall receptacle.
NOTE: Avoid exposing your eyes to U.V. light.
