5.
Install the UV lamp. Refer to
Section 4.1
.
6.
When all plumbing connections are complete, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely cause
of leaks is from the O-ring seal. In case of a leak, shut water off, drain cell, remove the retaining nut, wipe the O-ring and
threads. Clean and re-install.
7.
Once it is determined that there are no leaks, plug the system into the ground fault interrupter and check controller to
ensure the system is operating properly. The controller should illuminate without any alarms.
Note:
DO NOT look directly at the glowing UV lamp.
8.
Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the chamber.
Note:
When there is no flow, the water in the cell will become warm, as the UV 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.
3.2 Cleaning Procedure
It is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically cleaned to ensure that the plumbing
system is free from any contaminants. This process must be performed immediately after the UV unit is installed and
repeated thereafter whenever the UV is shut down for service, without power, or inoperative for any reason. The procedure
for cleaning the plumbing system is readily accomplished as follows:
