Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your
UV system. The following levels are recommended for installation:
• Iron: < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
• Hardness*: < 7 gpg (120 mg/L)
• Turbidity: < 1 NTU
• Manganese: < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
• Tannins: < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
• UV Transmittance: > 75% (call factory for recommendations on
applications where UVT < 75%)
* Where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate efficiently
provided the quartz sleeve is cleaned periodically. If total hardness is over 7
gpg, the water should be softened.
If your water chemistry contains levels in
excess of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is recommended to
correct these water problems prior to the installation of your UV disinfection
system. These water quality parameters can be tested by your local dealer, or
by most private analytical laboratories. Proper pre-treatment is essential for the
UV disinfection system to operate as intended.
• CAUTION, electronic ballast must be connected to a grounded receptacle
and the lamp connector ground wire connected to the stainless steel
reactor chamber.
• The disinfection system is designed to be mounted vertically using the
bracket at a single location such as the kitchen or bathroom sink.
• The ballast should be mounted either above or beside the reactor chamber.
This will prevent moisture caused by condensation from entering the ballast
enclosure, causing a potential for ballast failure.
• For safety purposes, the disinfection system should be connected to a
ground fault interrupt circuit.
• The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only, do not install
disinfection system where it may be exposed to the weather.
• Install the disinfection system on cold water line only.

INSTALLING YOUR UV DISINFECTION SYSTEM

CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
1. Shut-off the water flow to the unit via the main line shut-off valve.
2. Remove the filter sumps from the unit by turning counter-clockwise until the sump
falls free from the head (be careful as the sumps will be full of water and they will
be heavy).
3. Discard the used cartridge and clean the sump housing as required. Make sure to
thoroughly rinse the sump with water to get rid of any cleaning agents.
4. Install the new cartridge in the reverse procedure as stated above turning the
sump clockwise until the sump is tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
5. Plug UV unit into the applicable outlet and power-up system.
6. Slowly turn on the water supply and allow any air that may now be present to
bleed off from the system. This can easily be accomplished by partially opening
a nearby faucet. Once the water runs without the presence of any air, return the
system to use.
11. Reinstall
sleeve
bolt with 2 new
o-rings.
12. Screw lamp into sleeve hand-tight.
Caution: Over tightening will break
the sleeve.

13. Push lamp plug onto end of lamp.
14. Push safety cap into place.
15. Turn off the shut-off valves.
16. Check for leaks.
17. Connect the system to the power
source.
