Make sure you allow for a “drip-loop” on the power cord to prevent any water from potentially entering the controller.

When all plumbing connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely cause
for leaks is from o-ring seals. In case of a leak at the chamber, shut water off, remove the retaining nut, wipe the o-ring
and threads clean and re-install. In case of a leak at the filters, remove the sump, wipe the o-ring and threads clean,
ensure the o-ring is properly seated, then reinstall.

Once it is determined that there are no leaks, plug the system into the ground fault interrupter, and check controller to
ensure the system is operating properly.The controller is designed to detect both power to the system and UV lamp
illumination.
Note: DO NOT look directly at the glowing UV lamp.
9.
Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the chamber.
Note: When there is no flow, the water in the cell will become warm, as the UV lamp is always on. To remedy this, run a
cold water tap anywhere in the house for a minute to flush out the warm water.
3.2 Disinfection Procedure
UV disinfection is a physical process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As UV does not
provide a disinfection residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically
disinfected to ensure that the water is free from any bacteriological contaminants. The disinfection process must be
performed immediately after the UV unit is installed and repeated thereafter whenever the UV is shut down for service,
without power, or inoperative for any reason. The procedure for sanitizing the plumbing system is readily accomplished as
follows:
1
•
Ensure the controller is
plugged in for entire
disinfection process.
2
•
Shut off the water supply.
•
Close each faucet.
3
•
Press the pressure button to
release the pressure from the
cartridges.
