Step 12:
The reactor is now ready for water flow. When all plumbing connections have been
completed you should check for any possible leaks. Slowly turn on the water supply and check for
leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are functioning properly and that the water is flowing through
the reactor. The most common leak is from the o-ring not making a proper seal on the reactor. If
this is the case turn the water off, drain the reactor, remove the o-ring, dry it and reapply silicon
grease. Replace o-ring ensuring that it is properly sealed against the reactor and check again for
leaks.
Step 13:
The controller can now be mounted on the wall. The controller should always be above
or beside the reactor to ensure that no moisture can deposit on any of the connections (see Figure
2.). Always mount the controller vertically. For safety purposes the controller should be connected
to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) (also known as a ground fault interrupter (GFI)).
Step 14:
You can now remove the UV lamp from its packaging being careful not to touch the lamp
quartz with your hands. Again, the use of cotton gloves is recommended to avoid deposited oils on
the lamp glass. Always hold the lamp by the ceramic ends. With the lamp outside of the reactor,
affix the UV lamp to the lamp connector as shown in Figure 7.

Step 15:
Carefully insert the UV lamp into the reactor sliding it inside the quartz sleeve located
inside the reactor (do not drop the lamp into the reactor). Affix the lamp connector into the gland
nut by inserting the connector into the nut and turning the connector approximately ¼ turn to lock
the connector to the gland nut.
