4.1.5 Location
WARNING! The unit must be positioned vertically on a solid wall (the performance of the system will be
adversely affected if mounted horizontally or is subjected to vibrations).
Installation should be done in
compliance with all applicable federal, state/provincial, and local regulations. For units in Australia & New
Zealand, installation to be in accordance with the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA). We recommend that the unit
be installed by a qualified service technician. Failure to install the system properly may result in property damage
(leaks/flooding) or personal injury (electrical shock) and will void warranty.
In a potable water application, the Lync UV-H unit should be installed downstream of (after) any pre-
treatment devices such as filters, water softeners etc. and also any pressure tanks. However, it must be
installed before any branches in the piping so that all the water is disinfected before splitting and
distributing throughout the home or facility. The unit must be before any chlorine injection system or
this will void warranty.
4.1.6 Time Required
Please note that full installation of the UV-H requires shutting off the main water supply for a number of
hours. If disinfection is necessary, all pipes must be treated and flushed. Once the unit is plugged in, the
new UV lamps may take from a few moments to several hours to reach full power depending on the
type of lamps. Having a Dose Alarm is normal with a new system (or with newly installed lamps) until
the lamps have reached full power.
