- Page 5 UV Purification Systems Introduction How Your Wyckomar UV Water Purifier Works Untreated water enters the lower portion of the purification chamber and flows through the unit in an upward circular path. The spiraling movement assures the maximum irradiation of the fluid and prevents larger particles from blocking the treatment of microorganisms.

The following steps must be taken to accomplish this important task. Turn off the water supply to the UV unit and make sure that the by-pass valve is closed if equipped.
- Page 13 UV Purification Systems Maintenance Maintenance Procedures Ultraviolet Lamp Replacement The UV lamp located in the purification chamber will operate effectively for approximately 1 year under normal conditions. The lamp will still light after that period, but maximum UV light penetration may fall below the prescribed safety level.
- Page 14 UV Purification Systems Maintenance Maintenance Procedures Cleaning and Replacing the Quartz Dome/Sleeve Important: If water turbidity is a problem, it is advisable to clean the quartz dome/sleeve when replacing the lamp. Turn off the water supply and unplug the purifier from the electrical outlet.

- Page 23 UV Purification Systems Accessories Filter Sets Filter Sets are available in standard 10” and 20” configurations. We HIGHLY recommend a 5 micron sediment and a carbon filter be installed ahead of the UV unit in order to ensure proper UV operation. Commercial grade filter systems for higher flow rates are also available.
- Page 24 UV Purification Systems Accessories Changing Filter Cartridges Turn off the water supply to filter. Depress pressure release button (if present) to relieve pressure in filter housing. Unscrew housing with spanner wrench. Note: When opening filter housing, it is common for the O-ring/gasket to lift out of the housing and stick to cap.
- Page 25 UV Purification Systems Accessories Filter Maintenance and Troubleshooting Important: Do not use filter with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. An activated carbon cartridge (Taste/Odour) may contain a small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder).
- Page 26 UV Purification Systems Accessories Filter Cartridges Sediment and carbon filter cartridges are available from Wyckomar. Other types of filter cartridges for the removal of various contminants are also available (Arsenic, Fluoride, etc). Dissolved solids such as iron and manganese have an effect on the clarity of the water and therefore on the efficacy of the UV disinfection process.
