WINTERIZING YOUR SYSTEM:
To winterize the system, unplug the unit first. Drain the pre-filters by removing the sumps and dumping the water. Let
the filter cartridges dry out and then reinstall in the housing. To drain the UV, undo the SS flex connector (part # 4156)
from the bottom until the UV drains completely. Re-attach the flex connector. Leave the UV lamp and dome inside. When
turning unit back on, plug the ballast first and slowly allow water into the unit. Wait for about 10 minutes and flush water
through for a few minutes before consuming water.
(H) TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Leak at gland nut
Gland nut is loose or O-ring
defective
Hand-tighten gland nut & replace O-ring(s)
Condensation outside
the UV chamber
High humidity in the environment
This is normal if humid conditions exist. Install
dehumidifier to protect ballast. Protect flooring below
UV
Hot water coming out
of taps/faucets
Water inside UV unit becomes hot
after long periods of non-use. You
may have oversized the unit for the
home
To prevent scalding, before using water after periods of
non-use such as overnight, flush water for about 2
minutes. Install a temperature controlled purge valve on
the UV outlet
UV lamp ends seem
burnt after some time
This is normal
As long as the UV lamp lights, a little burn mark at the
ends is normal and there is no need to replace the UV
lamp
Sump is difficult to
remove
Unit may still be under pressure
Head seal may be stuck to sump
Close supply valve and open a faucet to release
pressure
To break the seal, use a pipe on the wrench handle as
extra leverage to open the housing.
Never use
wrench to tighten the sumps.
Always lubricate the
O-rings with food grade silicone and replace annually
Leak at pressure relief
valve
Debris under vent seal
Replace vent O-ring
