Installation
Step 1:
Once both the orientation and location have been selected, securely fasten the rack to
a suitable backing. As the rack system is extremely heavy when filled with water, it is imperative
that the rack be mounted with suitable fasteners for the particular installation.. Mounting to a
drywall backing is not suitable, unless the rack is fastened directly to the wall studs.
Step 2:
The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended as it will allow you to isolate the UV
system This will allow for easier access in case maintenance is required.
Step 3:
For water supplies where the maximum flow rate is unknown, a flow restrictor is rec-
ommended so that the rated flow of your particular AQUA FLO system is not exceeded. The flow
restrictor should be installed on the inlet port of the reactor.
Step 4:
It is recommended to have a licensed plumber connect the UV reactor to the water
supply and may be a requirement depending on where you are located.
Step 5:
Connect both the inlet and outlet to the rack system with the applicable connections
based on your particular plumbing requirements. The inlet port of the filters is a 1” FNPT connec-
tion and the outlet port of the UV reactor is a 1” MNPT connection.
Step 6:
Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the quartz sleeve from its pack-
aging being careful not to touch the length with your hands. The use of cotton gloves is recom-
mended for this procedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp
which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor until you can feel it hit the opposite end of the reactor.
Align the sleeve so it centered along the length of the reactor, then gently push it in to lock it into
the internal centering springs in the far side of the reactor.
CAUTION:
Pushing too hard when the
sleeve is not aligned can damage the centering springs. Slide the o-ring onto the sleeve until it is
butted up against the reactor (See Figure 4).
