3. Slowly swing the door completely to the left to reveal the two UV lamps installed in the front half
of the UV chamber. Note that the quartz sleeve can be easily inspected.
4. To close the UV chamber, swing the door back towards the back half of the UV chamber. Close all
over-the-center latches ensuring the wire correctly grabs the extrusion feature.
7.2 Replacing and Cleaning UV Lamps
The UV-H contains two ultraviolet (UV) lamps that emit high-intensity UV light in the germicidal range,
providing effective disinfection of the water flowing through the unit. The lamps in the unit will decay
over time and they should be replaced every 12 or 16 months for optimum performance
– see Product
Specification Tables for lamp lifetimes. Note that lamps will only decay while in operation. Shutting
down the system for seasonal use will extend lamp life.
The unit has an internal timer to keep track of the lifetime of the lamps. The UV-H will issue a warning
when the end of lamp lifetime approaches and it will warn again when the lamp lifetime is exceeded.
The amount of life remaining on the lamps is measured in days and can be seen in the Home menu.
CAUTION! Do not allow water to flow until new lamps have been installed and reach full power.
Never touch the bulb (quartz portion) of a lamp. Handle the lamp by its ends only. If the surface of the
lamp becomes dusty or dirty, use a clean lint-free cloth and rubbing alcohol. For more difficult stains
such as water spots, use a scale remover and rubbing alcohol to remove the stain.
NOTE:
Resetting Lamp Lifetime counter will clear Lamp Starts counter and Power Ups counter. If this
information is required, review it first before proceeding to Step 1.
1. Open the UV chamber as described above.
2. Use a slotted screwdriver to pry the lamps up between lamp base and ceramic socket, see Figure 7.3
