BioShield® PRO UV System Installation and User's Guide
Procedure
IMPORTANT: The installation of the UV system must
be carried out in accordance with local regulations and
codes.
1. Install the UV system after the mechanical filtration.
This eliminates debris from entering the vessel
and diminishing the unit's effectiveness, as well as
potentially damaging the quartz sleeves and UV
lamps.
2. Install inlet and outlet isolation valves (to be supplied
by others).
3. Install UV vessel mounting brackets if required (to be
supplied by others).
NOTE: A 51" clearance is required for lamp and quartz
sleeve removal.
Horizontal Installation
Horizontal installation requires the vessel outlet port
to face upwards, allowing trapped air to escape. If
installed on a "by-pass filter loop" or isolated using
valves, an automatic air bleed system is required.
Failure to remove trapped air can result in rupture
or heat damage to the vessel.
