CLEANING, DISINFECTING, AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CLEANING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Refer to individual System Assembly and Activation
Procedures to identify specific components matching
the descriptions shown in this procedure.
1. Disconnect system from electrical outlet.
2. Mix a mild cleaning solution of dish soap and clean potable water
in the plastic bucket.
3. Close feed water supply valve and open downstream faucet to
relieve system pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove sumps until water flow
stops. This reduces pressure inside the system so
sumps may be safely removed.
NOTE:
For UVB and UV1 Models only:
Remove and save
Teflon Sleeve as it will be used again with replacement
EPCB™ Carbon Filter.
4. Remove each sump. Remove each filter as its sump is removed.
Discard the filters. Use sump wrench to remove stubborn sumps.
NOTE:
Use sanitary rubber gloves for this procedure to avoid
contaminating cleaning solution or filters. Wear gloves
whenever cleaning components or handling new
filters.
5. Clean quartz sleeve carefully using vinegar to remove hardness.
Do not use abrasive materials. Rinse sleeve thoroughly with clean
potable water. Replace any sleeve that is damaged or will not
come completely clean.
6. Remove sump “O” rings and wash with cleaning solution. Rinse
them well with clean potable water. Inspect “O” rings for damage
(i.e., nicks or scratches). Replace damaged “O” rings.
CAUTION:
Use care when cleaning UV head. Do not get the UV
control module or connectors wet.
7. Clean sumps and heads, inside and outside with washcloth and
cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive materials.
8. Rinse sumps and heads with clean potable water.
9.
For UV20 Model only:
Clean and rinse the Stainless Steel
Channeling Sleeve (Item 3) and Sleeve Gasket (Item 4) shown in
Figure 2.
10. Inspect head and sump “O” ring groove area for damage (i.e.,
nicks or scratches). Replace damaged components.
11. Place a small amount of silicone based “O” ring lubricant on
the filter sump “O” ring. Install the “O” ring into the filter sump
groove.
