• If treating the entire house, install the disinfection system before any branch lines. Ideally, your disinfection system should
be the last treatment your water receives prior to use.
• A 5 micron sediment filter must precede the disinfection system.
1.
Remove the disinfection system from the shipping carton. For shipping purposes, the UV lamp is packed in a separate
tube. Set the lamp aside for use later. The disinfection system should be mounted in the horizontal position, with the
inlet/outlet ports facing up. If the system must be installed in the vertical position, make sure the inlet port is the one at the
bottom of the system. Mount the unit in a clear space with at least 36” (91.5 cm) of space at the lamp end to facilitate
lamp and or quartz sleeve removal. Fasten the disinfection system to a suitable mounting platform with secure fasteners.
2.
It is recommended to install suitable flow regulatiors in order that the flow rate not exceed the manufacturers
recommended flow rating. The use of by-pass and shut-off valves are recommended for emergency use of untreated
water when your disinfection system is being serviced.
Please Note:
When the UV unit is by-passed for service, the com-
plete water system must be sterilized once again with chlorine to destroy any contamination that may have passed during
by-pass. Apply two turns of Teflon tape around the port threads to ensure a tight joint.
3.
Very carefully
slide the UV lamp into the UV chamber making sure the lamp pins are accessible for connection with the
lamp connector cable. Attach the lamp connector to the lamp pins and press fit into aluminum gland nut.
4.
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 seal. In case of a leak, shut water off, drain cell, remove the retainer nut, wipe the o-ring and
threads clean and re-install.
5.
Once it is determined that there are no leaks, plug the disinfection system into the ground fault interrupter, and check to
see if the UV lamp is illuminated.
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING UV LAMP
. Secure the lid, and allow the water to
run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the cell.
PLEASE NOTE:
When there is no flow, the water in the cell will become warm, as the UV disinfection system 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.
• Always disconnect power before performing any work on the ultraviolet disinfection system.
• Regularly inspect your disinfection system unit to ensure that the UV light is still glowing and that its LED indicator is still
glowing green.
• Replace the UV lamp annually ( or biennially if seasonal cottage use) to ensure a high bacteria and virus kill
rate.
• Always drain the UV cell when closing a cottage or leaving the unit in an area subject to freezing
temperatures.
A. UV LAMP REPLACEMENT
1
. There is
NO
need to disconnect the disinfection system from the water supply or to drain the water from the reactor
chamber, nor do you need to remove the reactor chamber from the disinfection system. Lamp replacement is a quick and
simple procedure requiring only a slotted screwdriver to perform the job. After 9000 hours of continuous
operation (approximately one year), the UV lamp must be replaced.
2
. Disconnect main power source. Remove lamp connector from gland nut and carefully slide UV lamp slightly out of
chamber. Remove lamp connector from lamp and fully remove lamp (be extremely careful when handling UV lamp as
they are extremely fragile).
3.
To install the new lamp, carefully remove from protective tube being careful not to touch the lamp “glass” with your
hands. Slide UV lamp into the reactor chamber. Affix lamp connector to the UV lamp, slide lamp fully into cell, press fit
lamp connector into aluminum gland nut.
B. QUARTZ SLEEVE REPLACEMENT AND/OR CLEANING
1.
Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the quartz sleeve decreasing UV output. Good maintenance of
filtration equipment will reduce the accumulation of residues. If necessary, remove the quartz sleeve after a few months
and clean with a commercially available scale remover (CLR, Lime-Away, etc.) and lint free cloth. Repeat the process as
often as necessary to keep the quartz sleeve clean.
2.
Disconnect Power to remove the quartz sleeve. Disconnect the UV lamp and remove from the UV chamber. The sleeve
can be removed in the same manner as the UV lamp (through the end of the disinfection system) or by removing the
entire cell. Remove the aluminum gland nuts as well as the two o-ring seals. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve out of the
chamber (either side) being careful not to let the end drop inside the chamber accidentally cracking the quartz. When re-
assembling the quartz sleeve, make sure the sleeve protrudes an equal distance at each end of the cell. Wet the o-rings
