SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this system must be grounded.
Connect your UV system to a grounded, GFI protected (3 pronged) receptacle
(120vac 60hz) and ensure that the lamp connector ground wire is securely
attached to the grounding lug on the UV chamber.
Do not plug in unit if any of the external surfaces or electrical components are wet.
It is normal for there to be some condensation on the stainless-steel chamber in
high humidity climates.
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water may be
present near electrical equipment. Unless referred to in these instructions, do not
attempt repairs to the unit yourself. Contact the manufacturer for service advice.
Do not operate this system if it has a damaged electrical cord, if the plug-end is
malfunctioning, or the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.
Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended potable water application.
The use of attachments not recommended, approved, or sold by the
manufacturer/distributor may result in an unsafe condition.
Before doing any cleaning or maintenance, always unplug the electrical ballast and
isolate and drain the chamber.
Protect your unit from freezing. Drain all water from unit if freezing temperatures
exist.
RAW WATER QUALITY
It is strongly recommended that you have your raw water professionally tested for
dissolved mineral content, turbidity and microbiological activity. Your UV
disinfection system requires clean, clear water for optimum performance. You
should only operate your unit if the source water meets the following minimum
standards:
Turbidity
<1 NTU
Suspended Solids
<10mg/L
Colour
None
Total Iron
<0.3mg/L
Manganese
<0.05 mg/L
Hardness
<7 gpg
UVT%
>80%
Where raw water conditions do not meet these minimum standards, pre-treatment
equipment such as an inline or automatic filter(s), ion exchange softener or an RO
system must be installed. Consult with your local water treatment specialist for
advice.
