About Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection The technology uses UV light to target and disable disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens). This includes such waterborne diseases as: E-coli, hepatitis, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever as well as many others. Over 100 years ago, scientists discovered that if you exposed pathogens to UV light, their reproduction was limited.

2. Your Disinfection Unit – Pre-Installation Your American manufactured Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system has been tested at Glasco’s manufacturing facility. The unit is constructed of high quality stainless steel that has been electropolished. The unit has been hydrostatically pressure-tested to 100 psi (system designed for typical house pressure of 40 psi). In some cases, a small amount of water may still remain in the vessel from this test. - Page 5 2.2. Your Water Supply Since the use of UV generally indicates problems with waterborne pathogens (disease causing microorganisms), Glasco recommends that you regularly have your water supply tested by water professionals. In addition to testing the water to see if UV is appropriate, we recommend pre-filtering systems (softeners, carbon or reverse osmosis) to help remove tastes, odors, minerals and cysts.

2.6. Electrical Requirements The electronics aka Ballast Control Systems (BCS) have been designed to work with standard power supplies. Since the unit is susceptible to power fluctuations, we recommend that the system be kept off any lines where there are surges and that it have a dedicated GFI outlet and a surge strip. Systems will come with plugs, which require no “hard wiring”. - Page 7 2.7. Location of Unit UV disinfection works best when it is installed closest to point of use. Your unit may be installed under the sink or where the water enters the building. In either case, we recommend that shutoff valves be installed before the inlet and after the outlet.
- Page 8 3. Your Disinfection Unit – Installation If you are attempting to install the unit by yourself and you have questions, please call your water quality or plumbing professional. Improper installation can cause potential water damage to your property and can also reduce the effectiveness of the UV disinfection system.
- Page 9 The unit will have come with compression nuts that are in place and hold O-rings. Remove the nut and the O-ring. Insert the quartz into the unit. Use your fingers on both sides to guide it into place. Move the quartz so it comes out of the unit at equal lengths on both sides.

Always ensure that the UV unit is de-pressurized before doing any work on the compression fittings. Never position yourself in front of the quartz sleeves when the system is under pressure. The quartz sleeve can become a projectile and shoot out of the vessel if damaged under pressure. - Page 11 5. Operation Status, Alarms & Instructions on how to Reset alarms 5.1. CLASSIC The GUV-C Classic comes with an audible and visual lamp status alarm. In the event of a lamp out, the audible alarm will sound. The unit’s visual alarm is located on the system beneath the protective cover.
- Page 12 The Ballast Control Center (BCC) tracks the total number of days in operation and counts down the 1-year lamp life remaining in days. After initial installation the green LED will indicate the lamp is operating. In the event of lamp failure the red LED will illuminate and an audible alarm will consistently sound until the situation is corrected.
- Page 13 While the Classic and Classic PLUS system are considered “basic”, you do have an option to add a UV monitoring system (factory enhancement). Glasco UV does have units that are available with more options. The SHIELD Series offers options: quartz sleeve cleaner, UV monitor, solenoid, remote alarms.
- Page 14 The main power box control will have leads for attaching the solenoid. These leads will need to be connected to the leads on the actual solenoid valve. The solenoid will have come with connectors. The solenoid valve will have an arrow on it indicating flow direction. Please install the solenoid so that the path of the water goes with the arrow.
