cartridge which reduces sediment, bad taste and odor.
GENErAl PrEcAUTioNs
Always disconnect the UV from the power
source. follow the procedures provided in
this manual. improper handling can result in
death or serious injury.
do not look directly at the UV lamp. This can
cause retina/eye damage.
do not touch the UV bulb. Any fingerprints or
dirt will reduce the efficiency of the bulb and
may cause it to explode.
observe caution when inserting quartz sleeve
to prevent breakage and cracking, which may
result in injury and damage to unit.
NoTE: When handling the UV bulb hold only the plastic-
covered ends of the bulb. if the bulb has been touched,
remove bulb and clean with alcohol before reinserting.
if water pressure exceeds 65 psi, a pressure
regulator, set at less than 65 psi, must be installed
before the Ultraviolet system.
install on cold water lines only.
do not install where system is exposed to
direct sunlight.
do not use wicking or sealing agents for fitting
connections. Plumbers tape is recommended.
This system must be protected from
freezing which can cause cracking of the
filter housing and water leakage.
Because of the product’s limited service life,
and to prevent costly repairs or possible water
damage, we strongly recommend that the bottom
of all opaque housings be replaced every ten
years. if the bottom of your housing has been
in use for more than this period, it should be
replaced immediately. date the bottom of any
new or replacement housing to indicate the next
recommended replacement date.
NoTE: filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type,
usage and water conditions
.
for the UVs-110 and UV-110
Allow a minimum of 12 inches clearance under the filter for
changing the cartridge, and above the system to allow the UV
bulb to be changed.
for the UV-120 and UVBB-120
Allow a minimum of 20 inches clearance under the filter for
changing the cartridge, and above the system to allow the UV
bulb to be changed.
cArTridGE rEPlAcEMENT
(for UVs-110 and UV-110 only)
Your cartridge should be replaced when there is a noticeable
drop in water flow at the faucet or tap, and/or when unpleasant
odors return (approximately every 6-9 months).
1. Turn off water supply to the system.
2. Open faucet to relieve water pressure to the housing.
3. Unscrew housing from cap. If housing sticks or is difficult to
open use an Pentek spanner wrench.
4. Remove used cartridge from housing, remove plastic
sleeve
and discard cartridge.
5. Remove O-ring from groove below the threads of the
housing and wipe groove and O-ring clean. Lubricate O-ring
with silicone grease. Place O-ring back into the groove.
With two fingers wipe or press O-ring down into the groove.
Note: This step is important to ensure a proper filter seal.
Make sure that the o-ring is seated level in the groove.
6. Insert a new cartridge into the sump making sure that it
slips down over the sump standpipe.
7. Remove gasket from cartridge end and slide plastic
sleeve into center of cartridge then replace gasket on top
of cartridge.
8. Screw the sump onto the cap and hand-tighten. Do not over-
tighten. Make sure that the cap slips over the cap standpipe.
9. Turn on the water supply to allow the unit to slowly fill
with water.
10. Check for leaks before leaving installation.
11. Each time that you use water from your unit for drinking or
cooking purposes, it is recommended that you run (flush)
the tap for at least 10 seconds prior to using water. This is
particularly important if the water tap is not used daily.
UV lAMP rEPlAcEMENT
1. Turn off all electrical power to the system by unplugging or
throwing the circuit.
2. Unscrew the UV control module from the mounting bracket (4
screws) for Models UV-110, UV-120 and UVBB-120. For Model UVS-
100, slide mounting bracket retainer to allow access to the UV bulb.
3. Slide the old bulb out and unplug from the control module.
Note: Hold the UV lamp only by the plastic covered ends of
the bulb.
4. Carefully discard the old UV lamp.
5. Holding the new UV lamp only by the plastic covered ends of the
bulb, plug the new UV lamp into the control module or power cord.
Slide the new bulb into the cartridge housing and reattach UV
control module or secure mounting bracket retainer (depending
on model).
6. Restore electrical power to unit.
7. Check for leaks.
