Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death.
• Electric Shock:
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near the electrical equipment. Unless a
situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and troubleshooting sections, DO NOT attempt repairs yourself,
refer to an authorized service facility.
• GROUNDING:
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electri
c
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electric
ian or service
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with this system – if it does not fit in
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. DO NOT use any type of adapter with this system.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
: To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional
protection from the risk of electric shock, this system should only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding-type control
ler receptacle that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or to a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA. Inspect operation of GFCI as per manufacturer’s suggested maintenance schedule.
•
DO NOT operate the disinfection system if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
•
DO NOT use this disinfection system for other than intended use (potable water applications). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
the manufacturer / distributor may cause an unsafe condition.
•
DO NOT install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
•
DO NOT store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather.
•
DO NOT store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water has been drained from it and the
water supply has been disconnected.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.
•
Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on
parts not intended to be wet such as, the electronic ballast controller or lamp connector.
•
Due to thermal expansion concerns and potential material degradation due to UV exposure, it is
recommended to use metal fittings and at least 10” of copper pipe on the outlet of your UV chamber.
•
Hg EXPOSURE:
The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion of
the debris and avoid exposure to eyes and skin. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up a broken lamp as
this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the removal and disposal of
mercury waste.

• The UV lamp inside the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately 9000 hours. To
ensure continuous protection, replace the UV lamp annually.
•
This system is intended to be permanently connected to the water lines.
•
This system is not intended to be used in or above water or outdoors or used in swimming pools when
persons are in the pool.
•
EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from this system. Use only extension
cords that are intended for outdoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than
the rating of the system. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than this system rating may overheat.
Exercise caution when arranging the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. DO NOT use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. DO NOT abuse extension
cord. Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from
the receptacle before disconnecting this system from the extension cord. Never yank cord to pull plug from
outlet. Always grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
•
If the electronic ballast power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
• A dedicated circuit breaker must not exceed the electronic ballast power cord current rating (10A for 125V,
18AWG x 3C, SVT or SJT cord type).
•
Read and understand this Manual before operating and performing any maintenance on this equipment.
• Save these instructions:
Water Chemistry:
Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are
recommended for installation:
• Iron:< 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
• Hardness*:< 7 gpg (120 mg/L)
• Turbidity: < 1 NTU
• Manganese: < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
• Tannins: <0.1ppm (0.1 mg/L)
• UV Transmittance: > 75% (call factory for recommendations on applications where UVT
<75%)
*Where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate efficiently provided the quartz sleeve is cleaned
periodically. If total hardness exceeds 7 gpg, the water should be softened. If your water chemistry contains levels in
excess of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is recommended to correct these water problems prior to the
installation of your UV disinfection system. These water quality parameters can be tested by your local dealer, or by
most private analytical laboratories.
Proper pre-treatment is essential for the UV disinfection system to operate as
intended.
