(G) OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Your UV system is ON continuously during normal use and will continuously supply safe water. (Note: Do not try to shut it off during short periods of
non-use as repeated ON/OFF cycles can shorten the UV lamp and ballast life). Failure to follow disinfection procedure if the system is shut off could
result in micro-biologically unsafe water leading to potential illness or death.
To maintain the optimum disinfection performance of the UV system:
UV lamp should be replaced when the display reaches “0”. At this point, the UV lamp continues to light but its ability to disinfect the water drops
below safe limits. Therefore the
UV lamp MUST BE REPLACED WHEN THE LAMP REPLACEMENT ALARM “A3” COMES ON
.
The quartz dome should be cleaned at the time of lamp replacement. If the water quality parameters listed in section ‘C’ are exceeded, you
should clean and inspect the quartz dome more frequently and clean as necessary.
Replace pre-filters every 4-6 months.
CHANGING FILTER CARTRIDGES & REPLACING O-RINGS:
1.
Shut off the inlet valve and open a faucet close by until pressure in the unit is relieved. Alternatively you can press the red vent button on top of
the unit until pressure is released.
2.
Place an empty bucket under the sump to catch any water spilling out of the housings.
3.
Using the supplied wrench, unscrew the sump. Discard old cartridge and rinse sump.
4.
Remove O-rings and replace if they have been in use for a year. Otherwise wipe them with a soft cloth or paper towel and clean the groove on
which the O-rings are seated.
5.
Apply food-grade silicone lube on the O-rings and replace.
6.
Clean inside of the head as well to make sure the sealing surface is free of debris and stains.
7.
Insert new cartridge into the sump and screw sump back on to filter. Hand-tighten
only. Slowly open the water and flush for a few minutes before use.
