For your safety, always wear eyewear and turn the power off before servicing the unit.
Servicing the unit with the power on will also cause damage to the ballast.
A. Clean the UV Lamp and the Quartz Tube
Clean the UV lamp and quartz tube at least three times a year if the unit can be dismounted
easily. Otherwise, please replace the lamp and quartz tube every 1-2 years.
Follow the steps below to clean the lamp and the quartz tube. Use great care when handling
the quartz tube as it is very fragile; avoid bumping or jarring it.
a. Wear appropriate gloves to avoid contaminating the lamp.
b. Unplug the power, shut off both inlet and outlet valves, and remove the entire unit
from the waterline.
c. Drain the water, remove the black rubber cap with the attached power cord, and
remove the lamp from the quartz tube.
d. Wipe the lamp with a piece of lint-free cloth moistened with white vinegar.
e. Pour vinegar into the water inlet and soak the quartz tube until it is clear. Rinse
thoroughly.
B. Maintain the UV Lamp
•
Regularly inspect the UVF11 unit to ensure that the UV lamp is still in operation. An LED
indicator light, located on the ballast, visually indicates UV lamp operation. This indicates
lamp operation and does not indicate the level of UV intensity or transmission through
the water. Ballasts have a built-in audio alarm which will indicate lamp failure.
•
To ensure the proper operation of the UVF11 unit, regular biological testing of your
water (e.g., quarterly) by an accredited agency is highly recommended. Additional
testing may be performed whenever modifications, change, or additions are made to the
plumbing system, pumps, well source water, etc., to ensure adequate purification under
new conditions.
•
Other maintenance measures may include ensuring that grounding wires are secure,
replacing any damaged or broken components.
