To fix a leak at the lamp connector on a Sterilight SC200-A, follow these steps:
1. Turn Off the System – Shut off the water supply and power to the system before making any adjustments. 2. Check the O-Ring – Inspect the O-ring at the lamp connector for damage or improper seating. Replace it if necessary. 3. Tighten the Gland Nut – Ensure the gland nut is securely tightened but not over-tightened, as this can damage the seals. 4. Verify Proper Installation – Ensure all components, including the quartz sleeve and lamp, are correctly aligned and seated. 5. Restart and Check for Leaks – Slowly turn the water supply back on and monitor for leaks.
If the leak persists, replacing the affected parts such as the O-ring or gland nut may be necessary.

Safety Instructions: WARNING - Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. WARNING - to guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following: READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. CAUTION - Always disconnect power before servicing. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near electrical equipment.
Water Chemistry: Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV disinfection system. The following levels are recommended for installation: • Iron: < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L) • Hardness*: < 7 gpg (120 mg/L) • Turbidity: < 1 NTU •...

It must be noted that the system will require supplementary disinfection of the distribution system if any water is used during a by-pass condition. In addition, during by-pass, the water will NOT be disinfected and the attached “DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER” tag (included with the system), should be physically installed on the by-pass assembly until such time as the system is sanitized and returned to service.

Mount the remove ICE controller horizontally to the wall, near the reactor chamber. Ideally place the controller above the reactor and away from any water connection point, to prevent any water from potentially leaking onto the controller by means of a leak at a connection point or a “sweating”...
Disinfection Procedure: UV disinfection is a physical process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As UV does not provide a disinfection residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the water is free from any bacteriological contaminants.
OPERATION • Always disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system. • Regularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present. • Replace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection.

Quartz Sleeve Replacement / Cleaning: Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the quartz sleeve decreasing the UV energy required for adequate disinfection. Good maintenance of filtration equipment will reduce the accumulation of residues. If necessary, remove the quartz sleeve and clean with a commercially available scale remover (CLR, Lime-Away, etc.) and a lint free cloth.
Operation: Controller: 1. Lamp life remaining (days): The controller tracks the number of days of operation of the lamp and the controller. The default screen will display the total lamp life remaining (in days). The controller will count down the number of days remaining until the lamp requires changing (365 days to 1 day). At “0”...
