UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light. For complete disinfection, use ONLY genuine Puretec replacement parts. Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local dealer. It is always recommended to install pre-filtration of at least 5 microns prior to a Puretec UV disinfection system. Not designed for brackish or sea water.
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.
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.
Plug in the UV system and wait until it is ready for operation. 2. Remove the filter cartridge from the last sump and fill it with 1-2 cups of Puretec TankSafe™. Replace the sump and slowly turn on the water supply.
4. Reinstall the filter cartridge into the sump and flush the TankSafe™ by opening all faucets for at least 10 minutes. Your home has now been completely disinfected with your Puretec UV system ready to inactivate any microorganisms that enter the home.
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).
The Puretec RI-17KA includes a UV intensity monitor, but all controllers include an “infinite expandability port” located on the right side of the controller. Simply plug in an optional UV...
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.

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.

Warning: After any hard alarm, the home or facility should be disinfected. Follow the steps under the “System Disinfection” heading. 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.
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.
