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 reactor. To ensure a proper seal, the use of Teflon™ 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 a lubricated o-
ring. Place the o-ring over the open-end of the sleeve as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Quartz Sleeve Installation
Step 10:
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor until you can feel it hit the opposite end of the
reactor. Slightly push the sleeve in to feel it lock into the spring inside the reactor. Ensure that the
o-ring is butted up against the reactor. Assemble the provided gland nut onto the threaded end of
the reactor and tighten. The gland nut has a positive stop to avoid over-tightening, hand tighten
ONLY. Install 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 lamp connector to
create the proper lamp alignment.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT install a UV lamp inside the quartz sleeve
without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 11: (Applies only if you have a UV sensor…

)
The UV sensor for the system is
packaged in a separate plastic bag. Carefully remove the sensor from its packaging and insert the
sensor into the UV sensor port (remove the protective cap on the UV reactor first). The sensor can
only go in one way. Ensure that the flat portion of the UV sensor matches up with the half metal lip
on the sensor port (flat portion should face the lamp connection end) (see Figure 5.). Ensure that
the sensor is fully seated in the sensor port and then tighten (turning clockwise) the sensor nut.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT over tighten the nut as this could damage the Teflon sensor body. Plug the
male connector into the IEP port located on the right side of the controller, Figure 6, (make sure the
controller is not plugged in as the sensor MUST be attached before power is applied to the
controller.)
