INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Your UV disinfection system should be the last component in your water
treatment system, downstream from all other equipment. Choose a location for
installation with easy access to a 120VAC electrical outlet. Note the direction of
water flow in the supply line. Refer to figure 1 for the typical installation diagram
and ensure that you have all the fittings necessary for your installation.
Figure 1.
A minimum distance of 17” (438mm) clearance is necessary to remove the
UV lamp from the reactor. If this is not practical the reactor can be
removed from the mounting clips for maintenance. Use of unions on the
inlet and outlet will facilitate this removal. See figure 1.
1. Shut off the main water supply valve.
2. Mount the unit to the wall in the selected location using the brackets and
screws provided.
3. Mount the power supply beside or above the reactor vessel to assure that any
leaks cannot migrate to the power source. Never mount the power supply
below the reactor chamber.
DO NOT PLUG IN AT THIS TIME.
4.
The unit must be installed so that the inlet and outlet ports are accessible. If
mounted vertically the lamp connection must be at the highest point. This will
assure that any dripping condensation or possible leaks will not migrate to the
lamp harness or electrical connections. See figure 2.
5. If mounted vertically, the water inlet port must be the lowest port. This allows
air to escape the housing, and ensures proper flow past the UV lamp. If the
system mounted horizontally, either port can be used as the feed port. See
figure 2.
