Congratulations on purchasing this ultraviolet disinfection system. By purchasing a Crusader Water Systems UV Disinfection system you are receiving not only a high quality product but also peace of mind. Protecting your water supply with a UV system gives you reassurance that your family will have access to safe drinking water throughout your entire home with no chance of microbiological contamination.
Safety Considerations Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, extreme care must be followed when operating and/or maintaining your system. Whenever you are servicing this equipment, always disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. As the energy given off by the UV lamp can be harmful to your eyes and skin, NEVER look directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
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 Crusader UV disinfection system. P a g e...
PLEASE NOTE: It is always better to oversize your system then to undersize. For example, if your pump delivers 8 gpm it is recommended to install any of the Crusader 10 gpm systems. There will come a time where your home is using water at the pump’s maximum capacity.
If the water supply flow rate is unknown, it is recommended that you use a flow restrictor so that the rated flow of your particular Crusader system is not exceeded and the UV dose is not compromised. The flow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port of the reactor.

At this point, the controller also provides a signal to de-activate the solenoid valve, shutting off the flow of water if a solenoid valve is installed on the system. Crusader & Crusader Lamp Countdown Sequence The Crusader & Crusader counts down the number of days until a lamp change is required.
& Crusader Failure Modes The Crusader controller continuously monitors your UV system and if there is a problem with the system the controller will provide both a visual and audible signal indicating the specific fault that may be adversely affecting the operation of your system. The fault conditions are listed in a priority...
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. Crusader uses the QR code to store a link to a specific page on our website. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application can scan the image of the QR code and over a wireless network connect to a Crusader web page in the phone's browser.
