Select a suitable location for the disinfection system and its related components. As it is recommended to install a
ground fault protected circuit (GFCI), make sure that this is taken into consideration prior to any installation. When
selecting a mounting location, you must also leave enough space to allow for the removal of the UV lamp and/or
quartz sleeve, as well as enough space to change out the filter cartridge.
3.
Install the quartz sleeve as shown on assembly page 5. Keep quartz sleeve free of finger prints and dirt. Make sure
the small lamp compression spring is inside the sleeve. Carefully insert sleeve into the UV chamber (do not drop) until
the sleeve domed end seats in the center of the hourglass retainer spring located in the bottom end of the chamber.
Install o-ring onto the sleeve until it is positioned against the chamfered seat. Install the aluminum gland nut on the UV
chamber by turning clockwise and
hand-tighten only
.
4. Mount the system to the wall with appropriate lag screws (not supplied) through the two mounting holes located on
the metal manifold. Refer to page 6 for dimensions and weight. Various connection methods can be used to connect
the water source to the system, however 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. The use of a flow restrictor device is strongly recommended when installing your system in order to maintain
the manufacturer’s rated flow rate. The flow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port and is designed to be
installed in one direction only. Ensure that the flow of the water matches the flow direction as indicated on the flow
restrictor. DO NOT SOLDER CONNECTIONS WHILE ATTACHED TO THE SYSTEM AS THIS COULD DAMAGE
THE O-RING SEALS.
5. Mount the electronic ballast controller onto the metal manifold as shown on assembly page 5. A ground stud and nut
are provided on the UV reactor chamber. Attach the supplied 3 foot long, #14 AWG green ground wire to this ground
stud using the ring terminal end. Attach the fork terminal end of the ground wire to the electronic ballast controller
ground screw.
6.
Install the UV lamp as shown on assembly page 5. Handle the lamp by the ceramic end caps; keep lamp quartz
surface free of finger prints and dirt. Carefully insert the lamp into the UV vessel (actually inside the quartz sleeve);
leave approximately two inches of the lamp protruding from the chamber and attach the lamp connector to the UV
lamp. Make sure the connector is fully seated on the lamp. Slide the connector and bushing into the aluminum gland
nut. Gently press down on the bushing and squeeze/slide the U clip through the gland nut’s four upper holes (2 pair,
180° apart).
7.
Install the filter cartridge as shown on assembly page 5.
8.
When all plumbing connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely cause
for leaks is from the o-ring seals. In case of a leak at the UV chamber, shut water off, drain chamber, remove gland
nut assembly, wipe the o-ring and threads clean and re-install. In case of a leak at the filter, shut off water, vent/drain
and remove sump, wipe o-ring and threads clean, ensure the o-ring is properly seated, then reinstall.
9. Once it is determined that there are no leaks, plug the system into the GFCI, and check electronic ballast controller
to ensure the system is operating properly. The controller is designed to detect both power to the system and lamp
illumination. It is important to NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE GLOWING UV LAMP.
10. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the UV chamber.
PLEASE NOTE:
When there is no flow, the water is the chamber will become warm, as the UV lamp
is always on. To remedy this, run a cold water tap anywhere in the house for a minute to flush out the
warm water.
