System Sizing
All Puretec UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality
parameters on page 5.
NOTE:
that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting water that does not meet
the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the microorganism
inactivation.
If you need to determine your maximum flow rate, you can fill a 1 gallon bucket with water
and time how long it takes to fill up. It is always better to oversize your system then to
undersize. For example, if your pump delivers 8 gpm it is recommended to install any of the
Puretec 10 gpm systems.
Location
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a location where the main cold water line is
accessible.
The system must be installed after other water treatment equipment (softener or filters), but
before any branches (See Figure 3). For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just befor
the faucet. Puretec recommends that a 5 micron filter be installed before the UV system for a
final polishing step before the water is disinfected.
