INSTALLATION
1.
Pick a suitable location for the reactor and the power supply. Make sure that there is a minimum
allowance of 0.5 meters (1.7 feet) of clear space at the connection end of the chamber to
facilitate lamp replacement and servicing.
2.
In an effort to adequately protect the electrical components inside the reactor, the unit must be
connected to an electrical outlet which is protected by a surge suppressor in sites having
unreliable power supply.
3.
Once the reactor is securely mounted, plumb the inlet and outlet ports to the supply and
delivery lines with the appropriate connections. Make sure Teflon tape or an equivalent is used
on the threads to ensure an adequate seal. When making connections, be sure not to drop
anything into the reactor chamber that may damage the quartz sleeves/lamps or contaminate
the reactor chamber.
4.
After all connections are made,
SLOWLY
turn on the inlet valve and
SLOWLY
fill the reactor
chamber with water. Once the chamber is full, check for leaks from the fittings. If a leak is
evident, drain system and reconnect the fittings.
5.
In case the UV lamp is not fitted, first install it as described in the
lamp installation/replacement
section
and make all the necessary lamp connections.
6.
Next, plug the reactor into the appropriate outlet (230V) and check to see if all the UV lamps are
illuminated.
Do not look directly at the burning UV lamp without the use of protective
eyewear
. Once it is determined that the UV lamps are illuminated and that the lamp LEDs are
illuminated, disconnect the power supply until all plumbing connections are final.
7.
The system should now be thoroughly flushed to clean out any particulate matter that may have
entered the reactor chamber during installation as well as flushing out any air that may have
accumulated during the “filling” of the reactor.
WARNINGS:
SUDDEN OPENING OF THE INLET FLOW MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE UV LAMPS OR QUARTZ.
DO NOT RUN THE SYSTEM IN DRY CONDITION OR WITHOUT FLOW OF WATER
