5.
The water purifier must be connected to the cold water line only.
6.
Installation requires that a 5-micron sediment filter or finer be installed, in line, prior to the water purifier. The sediment filter
will stop or trap large particulates from entering the water purifier. Particulates may cause damage to the quartz sleeve, as
well as interfere with the purifier's ability to disinfect the water. The sediment filter may also help to reduce the amount of
routine cleanings of the quartz sleeve.
7.
Shut off valves should be installed on both the inlet and outlet sides of the water purifier. The use of bypass valves is not
recommended. The shut off valves allow the purifier to be isolated from the water supply, which is required when removing
the quartz sleeve.
8.
Unions should be installed on both the inlet and outlet of the water purifier; this will allow easy removal of the water purifier
from the plumbing, if required. Apply Teflon
9.
When all plumbing connections are complete, allow water to enter the water purifier at a low flow rate, until the purifier is
full. NOTE: Close the purifier outlet valve to pressurize the chamber. With the purifier pressurized, it should be checked
for leaks. Once it is determined that there are no leaks, the inlet valve can be fully opened.
10. For Models with lamps packed separately, install lamp following the steps in "Lamp Installation or Replacement" section.
CAUTION: Lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged. Exercise care when handling.
11.
Plug water purifier into approved ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Confirm lamp operation indication at
sight port.
12. Once the plumbing hook ups are made, it is a good practice to disinfect the "downstream" plumbing between the purifier
and point of use. This is done by introducing chlorine or other disinfectant solution into the purifier chamber, a 100-ppm of
chlorine is suggested. With the disinfectant in the purifier chamber, turn the ultraviolet purifier on. Open the "downstream"
outlet until a chlorine or disinfectant solution odor is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the disinfectant to remain in the
plumbing for three (3) hours. Flush the plumbing with ultraviolet purified water; allow the water to run for a minimum of 5
minutes prior to use (to ensure no chlorine or disinfectant smell can be detected). This will allow the chlorine or disinfectant
solution to be flushed from the pipes. CAUTION: For added protection, a suitable drain pan must be installed under
the purifier. The drain pan must be plumbed to an adequate, free flowing drain to prevent water damage in the event
of a leak. There are numerous leak detection/flood stop devices, available on the market today, designed to stop the
flow of water, reducing the chance of water damage due to leakage. For more details regarding leak prevention and/or
limiting damages due to leaks, please contact the factory.

PTIONS
1.
Guardian™ Ultraviolet Monitor*: Visually indicates the level of germicidal ultraviolet energy that penetrates the quartz
sleeve and the water within the water purifier. The ultraviolet monitor is capable of operating an optional audio alarm and/or
solenoid valve. The ultraviolet monitor will detect reduction of ultraviolet levels due to:
•
Fouling or deposits on the quartz sleeve.
•
Poor ultraviolet transmission through the water; color, turbidity, and organic or other impurities in the water can reduce
or interfere with the transmission of ultraviolet rays.
•
Lamp outage or component failure. (Monitor will not function in power outage.)
•
Depreciation of the lamp output due to usage or other cause. Lamp output gradually depreciates with use. Lamp
replacement is recommended once each year.
2. Sentry™ Safety Sensor: Indicators provide constant visual monitoring of normal operation. In the event of ballast or lamp
failure the safety sensor indicates an alarm condition. The safety sensor is capable of operating an optional audio alarm and/
or solenoid valve.
3.
Steralert™: Lamp Status Alarm produces a high pitched, pulsed tone when the water purifier is no longer functioning due to
lamp or power failure.
4. Sure Flo™ Flow Control Valve*: Limits water flow to the rated capacity of the purifier. The flow control valve is located
in line prior to the water purifier, and should be protected from ultraviolet exposure by the use of a 90-degree elbow fitting
between the flow control valve and the water purifier.
5. Audio Alarm*: Activated by the Ultraviolet Monitor or Safety Sensor, alerts the user to any malfunction detected.
6.
Solenoid Valve*: Operated in conjunction with the Ultraviolet Monitor, Safety Sensor or Time Delay Mechanism, this valve
prevents water flow through the water purifier when an abnormal condition is detected or in the event of power failure.
7.
Elapsed Time Indicator: A non-resettable display of the water purifier operating hours. Useful for scheduling and recording
maintenance and lamp replacement. (Continued on Page 8)
