Safety Considerations Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, care must be followed when operating and/or maintaining your system. 1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Energy given off by the UV lamp can be harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
80% for pre-treatment recommendations) You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local dealer. It is always recommended to install pre-filtration of at least 5 microns prior to a AQUA FLO UV disin- fection system.
Assembly Unpack the system and ensure all the components are included with the system. Your system is shipped with the following components: P a g e...
AQUA FLO (Standard output lamp systems) SYSTEM SIZING The AQUA FLO rack-mount UV system is designed as a do-it-yourself (DIY) system with a single inlet and outlet port. This system comes fully assembled with the exception of a single stainless steel hose connection that comes unattached, yet fully taped for easy installation.

PLEASE NOTE: All AQUA FLO UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements. The controller will require a ground fault circuit inter- rupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the reactor.
For water supplies where the maximum flow rate is unknown, a flow restrictor is rec- ommended so that the rated flow of your particular AQUA FLO system is not exceeded. The flow restrictor should be installed on the inlet port of the reactor.

Step 8: Install the filter cartridges in their appropriate housings. For the AQUA FLO branded products, please refer to the chart located on page 12 of this manual. PLEASE NOTE: This chart indicates the correct cartridge position for the default “left-hand” orientation with the water inlet located on the left side of the rack system.

Figure 6. UV Sensor Installation Figure 7. IEP Connection Step 10: The reactor is now ready for water flow. When all plumbing connections have been completed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are functioning properly and that the water is flowing through the reactor.

Step 14: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet. Refer to the following section before any water is allowed to flow through the system. Note: Installation of your AQUA FLO disinfection systems shall comply with applicable provincial/state & local regulations.
Reinstall the filter cartridge into the sump and flush the chlorine solution by opening all faucets until chlorine can no longer be detected. Your home has now been completely dis- infected with your AQUA FLO UV system ready to inactivate any microorganisms that enter the home.
Replace sensor following step 9 from the installation section of the manual. Temperature Management Devices Your AQUA FLO AQUA FLO system is designed to run continuously to ensure optimal disinfection. However, during periods when no water is drawn through the system, the energy from the disinfection process can cause the temperature of the water inside the chamber to rise.
Operation AQUA FLO systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driver (ballast) and control features in one water-tight case. Two controllers are available for the AQUA FLO systems (depending on your model). Controller These controllers feature a power factor corrected, constant current lamp driver with a universal power input.
On systems without the UV monitor, the default screen shows the AQUA FLO Home Screen. At any point during operation the user is able to scroll through the AQUA FLO Home Screen, Lamp life remaining and QR Code/Contact Info screens by pressing the button located on the front of the controller.
AQUA FLO Operational Screens On systems that have the UV sensor installed, the default screen shows the UV Intensity. At any point during operation the user is able to scroll through the UV Intensity, Lamp life remaining and QR Code screens by pressing the button located on the front of the controller.
Lamp Countdown Sequence The system counts down the number of days until a lamp change is required. At seven days remaining, the screen changes to a yellow caution screen with an audible chirp ev- ery 15 seconds. Past the zero day threshold, the screen changes to solid red and cycles between a red “lamp expired”...
Module failure Failure Boil Water Advisory: If any failure occurs on a AQUA FLO UV system, the water must not be used for human consumption until the system is returned to a safe operational mode. If the water is used for human consumption during this period, the water must be boiled (minimum 20 minutes at a full boil) prior to consumption.
