INTRODUCTION The BWT UV20 is designed to reduce turbidity and to inactivate harmful bacteria and viruses in water supplies. Using UV-C rays, a purification process that’s eco-friendly and chemical-free, DNA and RNA of microrganisms are damaged, resulting in an effective germicidal action. A double-stage pre-filtration unit ensures that particulate matter does not shield micro-organisms from the UV-C light.
An electrical power surge or spike can travel through the supply lines and cause serious damage to your electrical equipment. The BWT UV20 has a fuse to protect the circuit. The fuse is not a lightning arrestor and may not protect the product if lightning or a very powerful surge hits the unit.
Note: The outlet is always on the UV side of the system. 6. Turn off the water mains. 7. Plumb inlet and outlet pipework to the BWT UV20 unit. The inlet is 1” BSP female and the outlet is 1” BSP male.

Filter Cartridges to suit UV20 Multistage UV Filter System Performance will vary based on local water conditions. Variables in drinking water can affect the life of the filter cartridge. Please consider the filter life and be aware that a drop in pressure at the outlet or a change in the taste of water can indicate it’s time to change the filter.
Maintenance The BWT UV20 series has been designed and manufactured with simple and functional features which make maintenance procedures and periodical servicing simple. To maintain a high quality of disinfected water, cartridges, lamp and quartz-sleeve should be regularly checked/replaced (dependent on water quality and usage).
Important Change the o-ring with a new one and carefully lubricate before tightening the bowl to the head. Make sure that there are no water leaks from the product and be careful not to overtighten the filter bowl. Continue checking there is no water leakage for 48 hours following the installation and start-up. In case of leak, turn off power and water supply, open the housing, remove the o-ring from the bowl, replace with a new o-ring and apply lubricant, then re-tighten the bowl to head and repeat as above.
Quartz Sleeve Maintenance/Replacement Procedure Minerals dissoved in water may form a coating on the quartz sleeve. The quartz sleeve must be regularly checked and cleaned to remove this coating in order to maintain correct disinfection performance. 1. Disconnect the power supply and turn off the water. 2.
