Vessel.
Quartz Sleeves are fragile and potentially
dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
Procedure
IMPORTANT: The installation of the UV system must
be carried out in accordance with local
regulations and codes.
1. Install the UV system after the mechanical filtration.
This eliminates debris from entering the vessel and
diminishing the unit's effectiveness, as well as
potentially damaging the quartz sleeves and UV
lamps.
2. Install inlet and outlet isolation valves (to be
supplied by others).

Horizontal Installation
Horizontal installation requires the vessel outlet port
to face upwards, allowing trapped air to escape. If
installed on a "by-pass filter loop" or isolated using
valves, an automatic air bleed system is required.
Failure to remove trapped air can result in rupture
or heat damage to the vessel.
