Setting Up
Safety Precautions
Please READ and FOLLOW all safety precautions.
SAVE these instructions.
Never expose your eyes directly to UV light.
This UV system is designed for indoor use only. Do not use this UV system where
it may be exposed to the elements. Protect the unit from freezing at all times.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This UV system is installed near water. Please take all necessary precautions.
Other than where noted in this manual, DO NOT attempt to repair parts yourself,
but contact the manufacturer or authorized dealer for repair service.
The electronic ballast in this system can get damaged from voltage and/or fre-
quency deviations, caused by power outages or lightning strikes. Only connect
this UV system to a properly grounded outlet. A GFCI circuit is recommended.
It should not be plugged into the same circuit as a water pump, since the on/off
cycle of the pump can cause voltage spikes in the line.
It is highly recommended, especially in rural areas, to install a quality voltage
regulator or surge suppressor, rated at > 3600 Joules at the power input
to the ballast.
In older homes, the installation of plastic water treatment devices such as filter
housings may interrupt the water pipe’s electrical continuity to ground. This can
lead to pinhole leaking due to electrolysis or stray current corrosion. For preven-
tion, the piping has to be properly bonded and grounded. Contact a professional
plumber for information.
Ensure installation is in compliance with all local laws, regulations and codes.
DO NOT operate the UV system if the power cord, plug or any electrical compo-
nent appears to be damaged or if the unit has been dropped or damaged in any
way. Inspect the UV system after installation, and carefully check for leaks. DO
NOT plug in the system if there is water on any part(s) that are not intended to
be wet.
This system is to be used ONLY for its intended use of potable water disinfection.
DO NOT use attachments that are not approved by the manufacturer, as this may
cause problems with the UV system.
