    Congratulations on purchasing a Wyckomar UV purification system. Please read through the installation procedures and follow all safety warnings when setting up your system. Wyckomar Inc. manufactures several sizes of UV purification sys- tems; however, they all operate on the same principle. Basic installation is the same for most units.
  • Page 4: Section 1 - Introduction

    UV Purification Systems Introduction How Ultraviolet Water Purification Works Wyckomar Ultraviolet (UV) Purifiers utilize the proven principle of ultraviolet light radiation to eliminate or reduce unacceptable levels of microorganisms in water and other liquids. Ultraviolet light energy destroys bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores, algae and other such contaminants, which are pathogenic to humans, animals and plants.
  • Page 5: How Your Wyckomar Uv Water Purifier Works

    UV Purification Systems Introduction How Your Wyckomar UV Water Purifier Works Untreated water enters the lower portion of the purification chamber and flows through the unit in an upward circular path. The spiraling movement assures the maximum irradiation of the fluid and helps prevent larger particles from blocking the treatment of microorganisms.
  • Page 6: Section 2 - Setting Up

    UV Purification Systems Setting Up Safety Precautions Please READ and FOLLOW all safety precautions. SAVE these instructions. Never expose your eyes directly to UV light. This UV system is designed for indoor use only. Do not use this UV system where it may be exposed to the elements.
  • Page 7: Important Considerations

    Setting Up Important Considerations Wyckomar purifiers are installed either at the main water supply line or at point of use. In some installations, particularly where plumbing is old, the water may become re-contaminated in the pipes between the purifier and the faucet. Be sure to follow instructions under “Disinfecting Your Water System”...
  • Page 8: Installation Diagrams

    UV Purification Systems Setting Up Installation Diagrams Wyckomar systems can be installed vertical or horizon- tal. Refer to these sche– matic drawings for typical position components. Ensure that there is ade- quate clearance at the lamp end of the unit in order to safely remove the UV lamp from the chamber.
  • Page 9: Installation

    UV Purification Systems Setting Up Installation Carefully select the location for the UV system and any related components. Note the direction of water flow in the supply line to which the unit is being connected. Refer to the appropriate exploded view diagram for your unit and check to see that you have all the necessary fittings.
  • Page 10: Start Up Operation

    Avoid fingerprints on the sleeve/dome, wipe with alcohol. Gently slide the sleeve/dome into the unit. For domed systems (UV-1, UV-250, UV-700 and UV-1200), the dome will center itself inside the bottom of the reac- tion chamber.
  • Page 11: Disinfecting Your Water System

    UV Purification Systems Setting Up / Maintenance Disinfecting Your Water System In any UV system, disinfection takes place inside the UV chamber and there is no residual disinfection agent remaining in the water stream. Pathogens that may still be present in the plumbing system downstream of the UV unit will not be affected by the disinfection process.
  • Page 12: Ultraviolet Lamp Replacement

    UV Purification Systems Maintenance Ultraviolet Lamp Replacement The UV lamp located in the purification chamber will operate effectively for ap- proximately 1 year (9000 hours) under normal conditions. The lamp will still light after that period, but maximum UV light intensity may fall below the prescribed safety level.
  • Page 13: Quartz Dome Or Sleeve Replacement / Cleaning

    UV Purification Systems Maintenance Cleaning/Replacing the Quartz Dome or Sleeve Important: If water turbidity is a problem, it is advisable to clean the quartz dome/sleeve each time when replacing the lamp. 1 Turn off the water supply and open a faucet to depressurize the plumbing sys- tem.
  • Page 14: Changing Filter Cartridges

    UV Purification Systems Maintenance Changing Filter Cartridges Filter cartridges have to be changed on a frequent basis to ensure porper opera- tion of the system. A pressure drop detected at the tap is an indication that the sediment filter cartridges is at capacity, and a re-occurrence of unwanted taste or odour is an indication that the carbon cartridge (if present) is exhausted.
  • Page 15: Filter Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    UV Purification Systems Maintenance Filter Maintenance and Troubleshooting Important: Do not use filter with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown qual- ity without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. An activated carbon cartridge (Taste/Odour) may contain a small amount of car- bon fines (very fine black powder).

    UV unit in order to ensure proper UV opera- tion. Commercial grade filter systems for higher flow rates are also available. Sediment and carbon filter cartridges are available from Wyckomar. Other types of filter cartridges for the removal of various contminants are also available (arsenic, fluoride, etc).
  • Page 26: Uv Monitoring System

    Accessories UV Monitoring System A Wyckomar UV Monitor (available separately) measures true UV intensity at 254 nm, which is the effective germicidal wavelength for UV treatment of drinking wa- ter. It continuously monitors lamp output inside the reaction chamber through a sensor in the viewport, regardless of whether or not water is flowing through the system.
  • Page 27: Remote Output And Operation Logging

    UV Purification Systems Accessories Remote Output and Operation Logging An electronic ballast and a monitor can be equipped with volt-free contacts to al- low remote signalling of the operation. This allows to incorporate the UV system into the work-flow of a large water treatment system that is centrally operated through a BMS (building management system).
  • Page 28: Purge Valve, Hour Meter

    Installation on the Out Port with a T-Fitting Hour Meter The electronic ballast of any Wyckomar UV system can be equipped with an op- tional resettable hour meter, displaying the total run time of the lamp. This is convenient for ensuring that the lamp is not used after the germicidal output has decreased to less than 70% of the output of a new lamp (after 9000 hours of operation).
  • Page 29: Section 6 - Contact And Warranty

    Wyckomar Inc. warrants to the first purchaser of the UV unit that the UV reactor chamber will be free from faulty material and/or workmanship for a period of 5 years from date of purchase. Ballasts, UV Monitors and UV Lamps carry a one-year pro-rated warranty from date of purchase.
