5. It is recommended to have a licensed plumber
connect the UV chamber to the water supply and
may be a requirement depending on where you
are located.
6. Once the system has been plumbed in, gently
remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging
being careful not to touch the length with your
hands. The use of cotton gloves is recommended
for this procedure as oils from the hands can
leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can
ultimately block the UV light from getting to the
water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the UV chamber
until you can feel it hit the opposite end of the
UV chamber. Align the sleeve so it centered along
the length of the UV chamber, then gently push it
in to lock it into the internal centering springs in
the far side of the UV chamber.
CAUTION: Pushing too hard when the sleeve is
not aligned can damage the centering springs.
Slide the o-ring onto the sleeve until it is butted
up against the UV chamber.
7. Hand tighten the provided gland nut over the
quartz sleeve onto the threaded end of the UV
chamber. It has a positive stop to prevent over-
tightening. A firm force may be required to fully
tighten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS
for this step. Insert the provided stainless steel
compression spring into the quartz sleeve. The
spring works with the lamp and lamp connector
to create the proper lamp alignment.
NOTE : DO NOT install a UV lamp inside the
quartz sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
8. Install the UV sensor (RI-17KA only). Align the
flat portion so it faces the gland nut end and
matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor
port (see Figure 7).
Insert the sensor so it is fully seated and hand
tighten the sensor nut.
