Installation Procedure: Figure 3 shows the installation of a typical UV system and the related components that may be used for the installation. The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended in case the system requires “off-line” maintenance. In this case, note the system requires supplementary disinfectant for the distribution system if any water is used during by-pass condition.

Installation installed in one direction only. Ensure that the flow of the water matches the flow direction as indicated on the flow restrictor. Refer to Figure Note: DO NOT solder connections while attached to the system as this could damage the O-ring seals. Outlet port on cell Flow...
Installation 8. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the UV chamber. Note: When there is no flow, the water in the cell will become warm, as the UV lamp is always on. To remedy this, run a cold water tap anywhere in the house for a minute to flush out the warm water.
Maintenance Section 4 Maintenance WA R N I N G • Always disconnect power before performing any work on the UV system. • Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. • Regularly inspect your UV system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present. •...

Maintenance 4.2 Cleaning and Replacing Quartz Sleeve Note: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing performance. If the sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced.
Operation Section 5 Operation WA R N I N G The advanced warning system has been installed to provide the optimum protection against microbiological contamination in water. DO NOT disregard the warning signals. The best way to ensure optimum UV performance is to have the water microbiologically tested by a recognized testing agency on a regular basis.
Clean sleeve with scale cleaner and eliminate source of staining problem (ie. soften hard water, Quartz sleeve is stained or dirty refer to Section 4.2. Have source water tested to ensure that water quality is still within allowable limits for this Change in feed water quality High Bacteria system. Counts Contamination in water lines after UV UV system must have a bacterial free distribution system to work effectively.
