PRODUCT APPLICATION
C
ONSTRUCTION
•
The water purifier is designed to mount horizontally.
•
The water purifier's dual heads are removable and may be rotated independently. (See "Figure 3 - Recommended Positions
of Inlet/Outlet Fittings in the "Installation" section.) which aids in the installation, maintenance or the retrofitting of an
existing system. A drain port on the chamber aids in draining of the purifier.
•
The water purifier's chamber and chamber heads are passivated and electropolished type 316 Stainless Steel.
•
The ballast housing is a combination of Stainless Steel Type 304 and Aluminum Alloy.
•
Coated chambers are available for uses with special applications, consult Factory. Coated chambers are not recommended for
use in drinking water applications or in applications where the treated product is consumed.
•
The dual action wiper mechanism allows for quick and easy quartz sleeve cleaning, without interrupting service.
TM
•
EASY-OFF
end caps allow for quick and easy lamp change, without disconnecting from the water supply or draining the
purifier. No tools are required.
•
Certain versions of 220v units have been designed to be CE compliant. These units have been tested to and comply with the
requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and the Machinery Directive. The Declaration of Conformity
lists the European Norm (EN) standards to which these units were tested, to demonstrate conformity.

RINCIPLE OF
PERATION
The SANITRON
®
design has been carefully conceived to provide adequate germicidal dosage throughout the disinfection
chamber. The dosage, as it applies to ultraviolet disinfection, is a function of time and the intensity of ultraviolet radiation to
which the water is exposed. The exposure time, in seconds, is the total time it takes the water to flow through the disinfection
chamber exposing it to the germicidal lamp. Exposure time is related to the flow rate; the higher the flow rate, the lower the
exposure time or the lower the flow rate, the higher the exposure time. The ultraviolet intensity is the amount of energy, per unit
time, emitted by the germicidal lamp. The dosage is the product of ultraviolet intensity and the exposure time. The operation of
the SANITRON
®
is as follows:
•
Water enters the purifier and flows into the annular space between the quartz sleeve and the chamber wall.
•
Suspended microorganisms are exposed to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp.
•
The translucent sight port, or optional ultraviolet monitor, provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
•
The dual action wiper mechanism facilitates periodic cleaning of the quartz sleeve without disassembly or interruption of
purifier operation.
•
Water leaving the purifier is instantly ready for use, no further contact time is required.

IMITATION OF
SE
The water purifier is intended for the use with visually clear water, not colored, cloudy or turbid. See "Water Quality" section
below. The water purifier is NOT intended for the treatment of water that has an obvious contamination or intentional source,
such as raw sewage; nor is the unit intended to convert wastewater to microbiologically safe drinking water.
