Replace the inline 5-micron carbon filter after winterization or after 2000 gallons,
whichever comes first.

It is not necessary to regularly de-scale Acuva UV-LED water purifiers, as the small
quartz windows inside the UV device do not heat up or cause minerals to stick as
experienced with UV lamps. It is although good practice to visually inspect the inside of
the purifier annually to confirm that the quartz windows have no mineral build-up. If
scaling is observed, a quick rinse with CLR or food grade descaling solution is
recommended to remove the mineral buildup.

Winterising
Warning: Failure to properly winterize the device before it is
exposed to freezing temperatures can lead to damage and water leakage.
To prevent freezing, pump a non-toxic antifreeze into the water system or flush with
compressed air. Open the point of use faucet connected to the Acuva device and pump non-
toxic antifreeze or air until you see the antifreeze or air coming out of the faucet. In the spring,
remember to flush with fresh water to clear the antifreeze before use.

Solution
Grayish/bubbly
water
•
At low flow rates (1 lpm),
dissolved air may be released
into bubbles to give a greyish
color to the water.
•
This is absolutely no issue with the water
quality. The bubbles will burst quickly and
water becomes clear after about 1-2
minutes.
