Step 9:
The unit is now ready for water flow. When all plumbing connections have been
completed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves
are functioning properly and that the water is flowing through the unit. The most common leak
is from the o-ring not making a proper seal on the unit. For new installations, review steps 6 and
7. For older systems drain the unit, remove the o-ring, dry it and reapply silicon grease. Reinstall
the o-ring ensuring that it is properly sealed against the unit and check again for leaks.
Step 10:
Mount the controller (if required) to the wall so it is above or beside the reactor to
ensure that no moisture can deposit on any of the connections (see Figure 1). Always mount the
controller vertically. For sensor systems, insert the sensor connector into the IEP port located on
the right side of the controller (Figure 6). For the sensor to be recognized by the controller, the
controller power must be plugged in last.
Do not plug the controller power cord in before the
last step.

Step 11:
Always hold UV lamps by their ceramic ends, not by the lamp quartz. Remove the lamp
from its packaging. Again, the use of cotton gloves is recommended. Remove the lamp key from
the lamp’s connector and set it aside for the next step. Be careful to not touch the key’s exposed
contacts. Insert the UV lamp into the reactor, being careful not to drop it.

Step 12:
Install the lamp key into the controller. The key always comes packaged with the lamp
and sits on the connector. With the key removed from the lamp, orient it so the label is upright
and facing you. The key will plug into the lamp key port on the right side of the controller (Figure
8).
Step 13:
Plug the lamp connector into the lamp. Note the keying for proper alignment (see
Figure 7). Insert the lamp connector into the gland nut and turn the connector approximately ¼
turn to lock the connector to the gland nut as in Figure 9.
