  • Page 7: System Sizing

    System Sizing System Sizing All Puretec UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality parameters on page 5. 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.
  • Page 8: Installation

    The controller will require a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the chamber. NOTE: All Puretec UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements.

    For Puretec standard UV systems, even though they have a visual and audible warning built into the controller, a green status screen does not necessarily indicate that the water coming from this system is in fact potable (safe to drink).

    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.
  • Page 16 RI-10K, RI-10KA, RI-17K & RI-17KA RI-17KA Operational Screens On systems with the UV monitor, the system will display the same screens as on the Puretec standard RI systems 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.
  • Page 17 Once the deferral expires, the alarm will sound once again. The deferral can be repeated up to three times. NOTE: At any point after lamp expiration, the water may be unsafe for consumption and should not be consumed without another form of disinfection.

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.
  • Page 21: Temperature Management Devices

    Temperature Management 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.
  • Page 22 By harnessing the power of ultrasonic waves, it enables your UV system to dim power in times of low to no flow, saving you money on energy, reducing water temperature, and decreasing the risk of fouling. 22 Installation & Operation Manual Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2021...
