ULTRAVIOLET MODULE
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
13
It is important that any water treatment system be properly maintained to ensure consistent water
quality. Information provided on this page is of a general nature. For more detailed information, refer
to the Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Filter Replacement Procedure on Page 14, the Mounting
Bracket/Plumbing Installation Instructions (Pages 1 and 2), and Installation Instructions for the
appropriate system (Page 2 for Mechanical Filtration and RO, Page 10 for UV Lamp).
WARNING: DISCONNECT LAMP FROM OUTLET
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE.
CLEANING
The inside of the system and the quartz sleeve should
be cleaned each time the filters are changed. Clean all
parts (except the filters and electronic parts) with the
specified cleaning solution and rinse them thoroughly
with RO, distilled, or de-ionized water.
NOTE:
Presence of iron or general poor water quality
will require that the system be inspected and the
quartz sleeve cleaned more frequently.
SUMP REMOVAL
WARNING: PULL THE SUMP STRAIGHT DOWN TO
AVOID BREAKING THE QUARTZ SLEEVE.
Make sure system water pressure has been relieved
before attempting to loosen the sump. Pull the sump
straight down until it clears the quartz sleeve, do not
move it from side-to-side.
If channeling sleeve is installed, make sure it is in the
sump when the sump is removed.
If an EPCB filter is
installed, remove it separately by pulling it straight down
until it clears the quartz sleeve.
Remove the EPCB Carbon Filter. Pull on the filter with a
gentle twisting motion. This will loosen the “O” ring seal
holding the filter in the head, allowing the filter to be
removed
“O” RINGS
WARNING: USE FDA APPROVED SILICONE
LUBRICANT ON “O” RINGS. DO NOT USE
PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANTS.
Lubricate each “O” ring to ensure a proper seal.
Replace any “O” Ring that has been cut, pinched, or
deformed in any way. Make sure the mounting grooves
are clean and free of damage i.e., nicks or scratches.
QUARTZ SLEEVE
The quartz sleeve should be wiped clean each time the
module is serviced. This will enable the lamp to provide
the maximum level of UV exposure.
The 4.5 and 8.5 GPM systems have a stainless steel
channeling sleeve that stays in the sump when it is
removed from the manifold head. A rubber gasket seals
the stainless steel sleeve against the outlet port inside
the head. This gasket may stay attached to the head,
use care not to lose this gasket.
The ultraviolet lamp must be fully inserted into the
sleeve, with no kinks or pinches in the electrical cable. If
the lamp is not fully inserted, the system will not perform
to its rated specifications.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
WARNING: PULL FILTERS STRAIGHT DOWN TO
AVOID BREAKING THE QUARTZ SLEEVE.
CAUTION:
Use only Aquasafe
™
filters. Aquasafe
™
filters are specially designed to work in the ultraviolet
disinfection process. Use of non- Aquasafe
™
filters voids
the warranty.
Filters will normally last approximately four to six
months. Filter life will vary due to water conditions. A
reduced flow rate or deteriorating water quality indicates
that filters must be changed.
The pre-filters, and EPCB filter for the 2-gpm systems,
may need to be changed more often, depending on your
specific water conditions.
UV LAMP
CAUTION:
Use only PURA
®
UV lamps as they are
specifically designed for the Aquasafe
™
system. Use of
non- PURA
®
UV lamps voids the warranty.
Lamps must be changed every twelve months. While
UV lamps rarely burn out, they do lose their disinfection
power.
