SECTION 4: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Before Beginning Installation
4.1.1 Water Conditions - Pre-treatment Parameters
Note this section is designed to ensure the optimal performance of your UV-H system. Please review the
following pre-treatment parameters prior to installation. If any specifications are of concern or unclear
please contact your water treatment dealer or specialist. Note some of the information below is
technical in nature and you may want to contact your water treatment specialist to review the
parameters.
IMPORTANT: Should any of the following water parameters exceed the recommended limits the
system will not be serviceable under warranty.
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT until you have confirmed the unit
’s capabilities matches the application – see
Product Specifications Tables.
Water Parameters for Treating Potable Water:
•
UV Transmittance (UVT)
– see Product Specification Tables. It is recommended for the water to
be tested for UV transmittance in any applications using cisterns, surface water or ground water
under the influence of surface water.
•
Total Dissolved solids (TDS)
- must be less than or equal to 1000 mg/L (mg/L=ppm)
•
Level of turbidity - or cloudiness
- of less than or equal to 1 NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit).
In a point of entry application, a 5 micron sediment filter is recommended before the unit to
reduce turbidity (the presence of a filter will also simplify disinfection of plumbing
– see
Disinfecting the Plumbing section). For surface waters, a dual gradient pre-filter (75x25 or 50x5)
is recommended.
Water Parameters for Treating Waste & Reuse Water:
•
UV Transmittance (UVT)
– The minimum UVT level is 50% or as indicated in the proposal
document.
•
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
- The amount of suspended solids affect treatment by blocking UV
light. The maximum TSS level is 20 mg/L or as indicated in the proposal document.
