Step 9:
Using a soft, lint-free cloth or towel wipe the sleeve down using a
commercial scale cleaner (i.e. CLR
®
or similar). This removes scaling or iron
deposits that may be on the outside of the quartz sleeve. Be careful not to
get any moisture or liquids inside of the sleeve.
Step 10:
Dry the sleeve with separate cloth.
Step 11:
Replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the chamber following steps
7 and 8 from the installation section of the manual.
Cleaning the UV Sensor
Depending on the water quality, the UV sensor may require periodic cleaning.
At a minimum, the UV sensor should be cleaned on an annual basis. The following
steps outline a basic cleaning procedure.
Step 1:
If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve off to prevent water
flow through the system. Otherwise, turn off main water inlet valve (and/or
turn off the water pump).
Step 2:
Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.
Step 3:
Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and then close
the outlet shut-off valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-off valve, expect
water to drain from the system as the head pressure in the system will
cause the water to flow back down.
Step 4:
Place something under the chamber to catch any water that may come out
of the chamber during the removal of the UV sensor.
Step 5:
Unscrew (counterclockwise) sensor nut from the chamber and pull the
sensor slowly out of the sensor port.
Step 6:
Holding the sensor in your hand wipe the flat portion (sensor face) of the
sensor with isopropyl alcohol using a clean lint-free cloth.
Step 7:
Replace sensor following step 9 from the installation section of the manual.
Operation
Microlene systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both
the lamp driver (ballast) and control features in one water-tight case. Two main
controllers are available for the Microlene systems (depending on your model).
Both models feature a power factor corrected, constant current lamp driver with
a universal power input.
Please Note: While the LED or display screen is red and the buzzer is sounding
the water from the system should NOT be consumed. If any water does pass
through the system during this period, please follow the disinfection procedure as
outlined in this manual before the water is consumed. For Microlene systems, even
though they have a visual and audible warning built into the controller, a green
LED or status screen does not necessarily indicate that the water coming from
this system is in fact potable (safe to drink). These systems do not measure the
level of disinfection; they simply measure the “on-off” status of the lamp. Please
have your water checked for microbiological contaminants on a regular basis.
IMPORTANT: Installation of a backflow valve should be in compliance with
all local water authority regulations and in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1.2
and complying with AS/NZS 2845.1.
