Page 16: Usage
9. Usage Example Applications Inlet Disinfection This method leaves the disinfection outside the device or process, leaving an opening for bacteria growth at any point in the system. The UV LED system is easier to replace but with lamp lifetimes of up to 10,000 hours, the need to replace is less frequent when compared to conventional mercury lamps. -

If unit Biofilm growth or retrograde might have long periods without normal contamination within unit usage consider periodic pulsing of device. -
Page 20: Theory
10. Theory UV-C Water Disinfection Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection technology has become an increasingly popular tool in water treatment over the past three decades, due in part to its ability to provide treatment without the use of harmful chemicals. UV represents wavelengths that fall between visible light and x-ray on the electromagnetic spectrum. -
Page 21: Warranty
Owner or by other third parties or from defects in designs or specifications furnished by, or on behalf of, the Owner by a person other than AquiSense. In addition, this warranty shall not apply to Equipment that has been altered or repaired by anyone except AquiSense, their Authorized representative, or personnel acting under specific instructions from AquiSense. - Page 22 Unlike mercury vapour UV-C lamps, the lifetime of UV-C LEDs is not affected by on/off cycles. However, like all light sources, LEDs are subject to aging over time. AquiSense Technologies have engineered an integrated UV-C LED lamp module that contains: power regulation, temperature management, temperature monitoring, and intensity monitoring.
