A complete water test is recommended to determine if pre-treatment 

equipment is required before installation of the UV unit.  

Water must

 

meet criteria below: 

 

Contaminant 

Maximum Allowable Level 

Chloride 

250 ppm 

Color 

None 

Hardness 

8 gpg 

Iron 

0.3 ppm 

Manganese 

0.05 ppm 

pH 

Range between 6 and 8.5 

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 

500 ppm 

Turbidity 

5 ntu 

 

If untreated water quality exceeds the maximum allowable levels 

specified, this will result in bacteria passing through the UV unit 

and into the piping system. 

Unit Location: 

 

1.  The MWC-ES unit must be installed after the well tank and any  

 water pre-treatment equipment (softeners, filter, etc.).  You must  

 install a Cartridge type Dirt Filter before the MWC-ES unit to  

 eliminate the possibility of a dirt build-up inside the stainless  

 steel sterilization chamber.  

(SEE PAGE 2, PIPING LAYOUT ) 

 2.  Install at least 4 feet from a dedicated electrical outlet. 

 

 

DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEATING SYSTEMS WHICH 

RAISE THE AIR TEMPERATURE OVER 100 DEGREES. 

 

 

 

MWC-ES 304 Electro Polished SS Vessel Installation: 

 

1.

  The ultraviolet unit is designed to be installed in a vertical position.  

The unit is supplied with (2) brackets to support the unit.
