11. Once the plumbing hook ups are made, it is a good practice to disinfect the “downstream” plumbing between the purifi er
and point of use. This is done by introducing chlorine into the purifi er chamber, a 100-ppm of chlorine is suggested. With
the chlorine in the purifi er chamber, turn the ultraviolet purifi er on. Open the “downstream” outlet until a chlorine odor
is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the chlorine to remain in the plumbing for three (3) hours. Flush the plumbing with
ultraviolet purifi ed water; allow the water to run for a minimum of 5 minutes prior to use (to insure no chlorine smell can be
detected). This will allow the chlorine to be fl ushed from the pipes.
CAUTION: For added protection, a suitable drain
pan must be installed under the purifi er. The drain pan must be plumbed to an adequate, free fl owing drain to prevent
water damage in the event of a leak. There are numerous leak detection/fl ood stop devices, available on the market
today, designed to stop the fl ow of water, reducing the chance of water damage due to leakage. For more details
regarding leak prevention and/or limiting damages due to leaks, please contact the factory.

PTIONS
1.
Guardian™ Ultraviolet Monitor*:
Visually indicates the level of germicidal ultraviolet energy that penetrates the quartz
sleeve and the water within the water purifi er. The ultraviolet monitor is capable of operating an optional audio alarm and/or
solenoid valve. The ultraviolet monitor will detect reduction of ultraviolet levels due to:
•
Fouling or deposits on the quartz sleeve.
•
Poor ultraviolet transmission through the water; color, turbidity, and organic or other impurities in the water can reduce
or interfere with the transmission of ultraviolet rays.
•
Lamp outage or component failure. (Monitor will not function in power outage.)
•
Depreciation of the lamp output due to usage or other cause. Lamp output gradually depreciates with use. Lamp
replacement is recommended once each year.
2.
Sentry™ Safety Sensor:
Indicators provide constant visual monitoring of normal operation. In the event of ballast or lamp
failure the safety sensor indicates an alarm condition. The safety sensor is capable of operating an optional audio alarm and/
or solenoid valve.
3.
Steralert™:
Lamp Status Alarm produces a high pitched, pulsed tone when the water purifi er is no longer functioning due to
lamp or power failure.
4.
Sure Flo™ Flow Control Valve*:
Limits water fl ow to the rated capacity of the purifi er. The fl ow control valve is located
in line prior to the water purifi er, and should be protected from ultraviolet exposure by the use of a 90-degree elbow fi tting
between the fl ow control valve and the water purifi er.
5.
Audio Alarm*:
Activated by the Ultraviolet Monitor or Safety Sensor, alerts the user to any malfunction detected.
6.
Solenoid Valve*:
Operated in conjunction with the Ultraviolet Monitor, Safety Sensor or Time Delay Mechanism, this valve
prevents water fl ow through the water purifi er when an abnormal condition is detected or in the event of power failure.
7.
Elapsed Time Indicator:
A non-resettable display of the water purifi er operating hours. Useful for scheduling and recording
maintenance and lamp replacement.
8.
Time Delay Mechanism*:
Provides a 2-minute warm up period during which the ultraviolet lamp achieves its full
germicidal output before the water is allowed to fl ow through the water purifi er. The time delay mechanism is used in
conjunction with, and is electrically connected to the Solenoid Valve.
9.
Wall Mount Kit:
Stainless steel wall brackets provide quick and easy installation and professional fi nish. Pre-drilled and
ready to install. Optimizes free air circulation to cool ballast housing.
10.
Quantum Thermal Optimizer:
Thermal relief valve used to help regulate the water temperature inside the water purifi er’s
disinfection chamber. Since the relative ultraviolet output, of a germicidal lamp, is affected by temperature it is important to
keep the lamp’s temperature within the peak output temperature range.
11.
Safety Goggles:
Safety eyewear should be used as general-purpose safety protection and for additional shielding from
Ultraviolet rays
12.
Gloves:
Gloves should be worn to offer hand protection from sharp threats like glass, wire, and metal.

Unit.” Originally issued April, 1966.

Ultraviolet Corporation’s products. For the other devices that may be required for your application, please contact your
local water treatment dealer, plumber or plumbing supplier.
