2. Select a suitable location for the disinfection system and its related components. As it is recommended to install a GFCI,
make sure that this is taken into consideration prior to any installation. The system can either be installed vertically (inlet
port at the bottom) as shown in
Figure 4 A , or horizontally as shown in Figure 4 B . However, the vertical installation is the
most preferred method. When selecting a mounting location, leave enough space to allow the removal of the UV lamp
and/or quartz sleeve (typically leave a space equal to the size of the UV chamber itself).
3. Mount the system to the wall using the supplied clamps. Various connection methods can be used to connect the water
source to the system, however union type connectors are recommended. The use of a flow restrictor device will help to
maintain the manufacturers rated flow. The flow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port and is designed to be
installed in one direction only. Ensure that the flow of the water matches the flow direction as indicated on the flow
restrictor. Refer to
Figure 5 .
Note: DO NOT solder connections while attached to the system as this could damage the O-ring seals.
