Installation:

Step 1: The UV disinfection system should always be the last piece of treatment before the water
branches off to any hot or cold water lines.

Step 2: CALMAG YORKSHIRE LTD strongly recommends that a 5 micron filter be installed before the UV
system for a final polishing step before the water is disinfected.

Step 3: The chamber can be installed either horizontally or vertically using the clamps provided.

Step   4: If you   do   not know the flow rate of the water supply in   the application, it is recommended   that
you use a flow restrictor   so that   the rated flow of   your   particular   CALULTRA system is not exceeded and
the   UV   dose   is   not   compromised.   The   flow   restrictor   should    be   installed    on    the   outlet   port   of   the
chamber.

Step    5:   It   is   strongly   recommended    to    have   a   licensed    plumber   connect   the   UV chamber   to   the   water
supply   and    may    be    a   requirement   depending   on    where   you    are   located.   If   you    are   attempting   this
yourself,   ensure you have all   the necessary tools and fittings to accomplish this task.

Step    6:   Although    there   are   many   methods   of   installation,   this   manual   will   provide   a   recommended
procedure   using   copper   plumbing   and    standard    soldering   methods.   CALMAG   YORKSHIRE   LTD
recommends the use of unions, a by-‐pass   assembly   and shut-‐off valves   as   this will   allow you to isolate and
remove   the   UV    chamber   if   necessary   (this   is   a   recommended    method    only   however   it   allows   for   the
maximum convenience but it requires extra components and   more time for installation).

Step    7:   Before   you    cut   into    the   cold    water   line,   measure   and    cut   all   piping   as   per   the   recommended
layout. Once all the components are ready, start by installing the female adapters onto   the ports of the
chamber. To   ensure a   proper seal, the use of PTFE™   tape is recommended   on   all threaded   connections.

Step 8: Next solder all the assembly together, including ball valves and unions and finally connected the
by-‐pass assembly to the cold water feed line (water in and water out).

Step   9: You   can   now gently remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging being VERY   careful not to   touch
the length   with   your hands. The use of cotton   gloves (not included) is recommended   for this procedure as
oils from our hands can   leave residue on   the sleeve and   lamp   which   can   ultimately block the UV light from
getting to the water. In   the   package, you   will find   two   lubricated   O-‐rings.

Step    10:   Carefully   slide    the    sleeve    into   the    chamber   until   you    can    feel   it   hit   the   opposite   end    of   the
chamber. Maneuver the sleeve gently until it slides through   the opposite end   of the chamber. With a ¼”
of the sleeve sticking out each   end   of the chamber slide one O-‐ring onto   each   end.    Ensure that each   O-‐
ring   is   butted    up    against   the   chamber   (see   Figure   5).   Assemble   the   bottom   gland    nut   (the   black   nut
without   the    through    hole)   onto    the   threaded    end    of   the   chamber   and    tighten.   The   gland    nuts   have   a
positive stop   to   avoid   over-‐tightening, hand   tighten   ONLY. Next, assemble the top   gland   nut (the black nut
with   the through   hole) onto   the threaded   end   of the   chamber and   tighten. Slide the provided   stainless
steel   compression    spring   inside   the   quartz   sleeve.   This   spring   simply   sits   in    the   bottom   of   the   quartz
sleeve and   works with   the lamp   and   connector to   create the proper lamp   alignment.
