Installation

Installation Procedure:
1.
shows the installation of a typical point of use (POU) system and the related components that may be used for
the installation. The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended in case the system requires off-line maintenance. In
this case, note the system requires a supplementary disinfectant for the distribution system if any water is used during
by-pass condition. In addition, during by-pass, the water will NOT be treated an a “DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER”
tag should be physically installed on the by-pass assembly until such time as the system is sanitized and returned to
service. For more information, refer to
. If the water is to be consumed while the system is off-line, the water
must be boiled for two minutes prior to consumption.
2.
Select a suitable location for the UV system and its related components. As it is required to install a GFCI, make sure
that this is taken into consideration prior to any installation. Make sure you leave enough clearance above the system
connector to facilitate lamp service (a length equal to the length of the unit should suffice).
3.
Mount the system to the wall using the supplied clamps. Various connection methods can be used to connect the water
source to the system, however union type connectors are recommended. In addition, the use of a by-pass assembly is
recommended for emergency use of untreated water when your UV system is being serviced.
Notes:
1) When the UV unit is returned to service after being on by-pass, the complete water system must be cleaned
once again with chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any contamination that may have entered the
distribution system while on by-pass.
2) DO NOT solder connections while attached to the UV system, as this could damage the O-ring seals.
