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 is harmful to your eyes and skin.
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 PURETEC 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: PURETEC (Standard output lamp systems) LAMP KEY GLAND NUT CONTROLLER RI-GNP 5.1/6.1 SYSTEMS O-RING RI-CON1 RI-ORP UV LAMP RL0.5K, fits RI-0.5K series...

System Sizing All PURETEC UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality param- eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting water that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the microorganism inactivation.
For water supplies where the maximum flow rate sleeve removal is unknown, a flow restrictor is recommended so that the rated flow of your particular PURETEC system is not exceed- ed. The flow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port of the reactor.

Step 8: Install the UV sensor (PURETEC systems only). Align the flat portion so it faces the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 5). Insert the sensor so it is fully seated and hand tighten the sensor nut.

Figure 7b. High Output UV Lamp Connection Lamp Connection Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (PURETEC , PURETEC systems only). The key always comes packaged with the lamp and sits on the connector. With the key removed from the lamp, orient it so the label is upright and facing you.
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 PURETEC UV system ready to inactivate any microorganisms that enter the home.
Replace sensor following step 9 from the installation section of the manual. Operation PURETEC systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driver (ballast) and control features in one water-tight case. Four main controllers are available for the PURETEC systems (depending on your model).
The controllers used in both the PURETEC and PURETEC are identical. The difference is that the PURETEC series of products includes a UV intensity monitor. All PURETEC and PURETEC controllers include an “infinite expandability port” located on the right side of the controller. Simply plug...
On systems without the UV monitor, the default screen shows the PURETEC Home Screen. At any point during operation the user is able to scroll through the PURETEC Home Screen, Lamp life remaining, QR Code, Contact Info and Maintenance Parts screens by pressing the button located on the front of the controller.
Operational Screens On systems with the UV monitor, the system will display the same screens as on the PURETEC except the UV Intensity replaces the home screen. The UV Intensity screen displays the level of UV light detected by the sensor. UV intensity can be affected by poor water quality, scaling on the quartz sleeve and/or sensor, lamp failure or lamp expiring.
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a matrix barcode first designed for the automotive industry. PURETEC uses the QR code to store a link to a specific page on our website. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR code and over a wireless network connect to a PURETEC web page in the phone’s browser.
System Troubleshooting Hard Alarms: The following give a constant audible alarm. If present, the solenoid valve is closed, and the 4-20, remote alarm and ethernet modules transmit the alarm.

Warning: After any hard alarm, the home or facility should be disinfected. Follow the steps un- der the “System Disinfection” heading. Boil Water Advisory: If any failure occurs on a PURETEC UV system, the water must not be used for human consumption until the system is returned to a safe operational mode.
Temperature Management Devices Your PURETEC UV 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. In extreme situations elevated water temperature or the fluctuation in temperature can lower the output of the UV lamp.

SOLENOID CONNECTION MODULE: Connects a NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the system. On a non-monitored system, the sole- noid will only close on a lamp failure error. On a monitored system, the solenoid is closed when the UV level drops below 50%. Also note that in cases where emergency use of untreated water is re- quired, the controller can be placed into a manual override mode allowing for the flow of water in an...
