MWC-ES FACTS SHEET
IMPORTANT
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
All MWC-SERIES UV Systems must be grounded! The green 14# copper wire
coming out of the power supply must be grounded to the UV Vessel! Attached the
copper wire to the grounding lug to the upper mounting bracket and tighten the
screw.
CAUTION:
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT WITH THE NAKED EYE.
View through a
piece of ordinary glass or optical glasses.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
may cause eye irritation if eye is not
properly protected. You should never have to look directly at the
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
when installing
or trouble-shooting one of our MWC-E Water Sterilizers.
Pre-Treatment:
A complete water test is recommended to determine if pre-treatment equipment is required before
installation of the UV unit.
Water must
meet criteria below:
Untreated Water Quality
Maximum Allowable Level
Chloride
250.00 ppm
Color
0.00 units
Hardness
8.00 gpg
Iron
0.30 ppm
Manganese
0.05 ppm
pH
6.0 to 8.5
Total Dissolved Solids
500.00 ppm
Turbidity
5.00 ntu
If untreated water quality exceeds the maximum allowable levels specified, this will result in
bacteria passing through the UV unit and into the piping system.
Unit Location:
1.
The MWC-ES unit must be installed after the well tank and any water pre-treatment
equipment (softeners filter, etc.). You must install a Cartridge type Dirt Filter before
the MWC-E unit to eliminate the possibility of a dirt build-up inside the stainless
steel sterilization chamber.
(SEE PAGE 2, PIPING LAYOUT)
2. Install at least 4 feet from a dedicated electrical outlet.
DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEATING SYSTEMS WHICH RAISE THE AIR
TEMPERATURE OVER 100 DEGREES.
Disinfecting the Piping System with Chlorine:
1.
Shut off the water to the inlet and outlet of the cartridge filter.
2.
Remove the cartridge sump and empty all water. Fill with household
chlorine (Clorox, non-scented), 5.25% sodium hypochlorite.
3.
Re-install the sump to the filter assembly and open the inlet and outlet
