Step 17: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet. Plug the unit
in and refer to the “System Disinfection” section before any water is allowed to flow through the system.

System Disinfection:

Now that the system is installed you will need to disinfect the lines throughout the entire home or facility.
To accomplish this, please follow these simple steps:

Step   1: Before performing this task, check to   make sure that there are no   “dead   ends” in   the lines within
the   water   system   you    are   treating   as   these   can    harbor   bacteria.   Also    ensure   that   the   UV   system   is
powered-‐up   and   ready for operation   before you   start this disinfection   process.

Step 2: Remove the cartridge from the filter sump and fill with 1-‐2 cups of household bleach (most
household bleaches are 5.25% chlorine). Replace filter sump and slowly turn on the water supply.

Step    3:   Go    to    each    location    in    the   home   or   facility   (including   outdoor   taps)   and    run    some   water   until
chlorine   can    be   detected    (by   smell).   Ensure    all   faucets,   dishwasher,   shower   heads,   washing   machine,
toilets, showers, refrigerators, etc. are all checked. Once the chlorine is detected   at each   location   close all
faucets and let the chlorine sit in the lines for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Step    4:   After    30   minutes,   reinstall   the   filter    cartridge   into   the   filter    sump   and   then   flush   the   chlorine
solution   by opening all faucets and   let them run   until chlorine can   no   longer be   detected   (by smell). Your
home/facility has now been   completely disinfected   and   your CALULTRA UV system is ready to inactivate
any microorganisms that enter the   water system.

PLEASE NOTE: This procedure must be performed following any time the UV is shut down for service,
without power, or is inoperative for some reason in order to avoid possible contamination of the water
lines.

Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve:

Depending on the water quality, the quartz sleeve may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum, the
quartz sleeve should be cleaned on an annual basis. The following steps outline a basic cleaning
procedure.

Step   1:   If the system has an   inlet shut-‐off valve, shut this valve off to   prevent water flow through   the
system. If there is no   inlet shut-‐off valve, turn   off main   water inlet valve (and   turn   off water pump   if you
have   one).

Step 2: Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.

Step   3:   Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and   close the outlet shut-‐off valve if the
installation    incudes   one   (if   there   is   no    outlet   shut-‐off    valve,   be   prepared   for    water    leakage   from   the
system as the head   pressure in the system will cause water to   flow back through   the outlet plumbing and
through   the chamber).

Step 4: Remove the captive ground screw from the ground lug on the UV chamber.
