• VIQUA replacement lamps undergo rigorous performance testing and strict quality control processes to ensure that the safety and performance certifications of the original equipment are not compromised. So, you can see that it's simply not worth the risk! Insist on genuine VIQUA replacement lamps.
Safety Information Section 1 Safety Information Please read this entire manual before operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger, warning, and caution statements in this manual. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. Make sure that the protection provided by this equipment is not impaired.
Safety Information WA R N I N G During extended periods of no water flow, the water in your chamber can become very hot (Approx. 60 °C) and potentially lead to scalding. It is recommended to run your water until this hot water has been purged from your chamber. Do not allow water to contact your skin during this time. To eliminate this condition, a temperature management valve can be installed at the outlet of your UV system.

Installation Section 3 Installation 3.1 UV Disinfection System C A U T I O N Electronic controller must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle. Ensure green ground wire ring terminal is securely fastened to ground stud on UV chamber. The disinfection system is designed to be mounted either horizontally or vertically at the point-of-use or point-of-entry depending on the specific flow rate of the unit.

Figure 4 Flow Restrictor 4. Mount the VIQUA ICE controller horizontally to the wall, near the UV chamber. Ideally place the controller above the chamber and away from any water connection point, to prevent any water from potentially leaking onto the controller by means of a leak at a connection point or a “sweating”...
Installation Drip Loop Figure 5 Drip Loop 5. Install the UV lamp. Refer to Section 4.1. 6. When all plumbing connections are complete, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely cause of leaks is from the O-ring seal. In case of a leak, shut water off, drain cell, remove the retaining nut, wipe the O-ring and threads.

Maintenance 4.2 Cleaning and Replacing Quartz Sleeve Note: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced.
Operation Section 5 Operation WA R N I N G The advanced warning system has been installed to provide the optimum protection against microbiological contamination in water. DO NOT disregard the warning signals. The best way to ensure optimum UV performance is to have the water microbiologically tested by a recognized testing agency on a regular basis.
