GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Always disconnect the UV from the power source. Follow
the procedures provided in this manual. Improper handling can result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING: Do not look directly at the UV lamp. This can cause
retina/eye damage.
WARNING: Do not touch the UV bulb. Any fingerprints or dirt will
reduce the efficiency of the bulb and may cause it to explode.
WARNING: Observe caution when inserting quartz sleeve to prevent
breakage and cracking, which may result in injury and damage to unit.
NOTE: When handling the UV bulb hold only the plastic-covered ends of
the bulb. If the bulb has been touched, remove bulb and clean with
alcohol before reinserting
CAUTION: If water pressure exceeds 65 psi, a pressure regulator, set at
less than 65 psi, must be installed before the Ultraviolet system.
CAUTION: Install on cold water lines only.
CAUTION: Do not install where system is exposed to direct sunlight.
CAUTION: Do not use wicking or sealing agents for fitting connections.
Teflon ® tape is recommended.
CAUTION: This system must be protected from freezing which can cause
cracking of the filter housing and water leakage.
CAUTION: Because of the product's limited service life, and to prevent
costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that
the bottom of all opaque housings be replaced every ten years. If the
bottom of your housing has been in use for more than this period, it
should be replaced immediately. Date the bottom of any new or replace-
ment housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
NOTE: Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage and
water conditions.
For the UVS-110 and UV-110
Allow a minimum of 12 inches clearance under the filter for changing the
cartridge, and above the system to allow the UV bulb to be changed.
For the UV-120 and UVBB-120
Allow a minimum of 20 inches clearance under the filter for changing the
cartridge, and above the system to allow the UV bulb to be changed.

CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

(for UVS-110 and UV-110 only)
Your cartridge should be replaced when there is a noticeable drop in
water flow at the faucet or tap, and/or when unpleasant odors return
(approximately every 6-9 months).
1. Turn off water supply to the system.
2. Open faucet to relieve water pressure to the housing.
3. Unscrew housing from cap. If housing sticks or is difficult to open
use an Pentek spanner wrench.
4. Remove used cartridge from housing, remove Teflon
card cartridge.
5. Remove O-ring from groove below the threads of the housing and
wipe groove and O-ring clean. Lubricate O-ring with silicone grease.
Place O-ring back into the groove. With two fingers wipe or press O-
ring down into the groove. NOTE: This step is important to ensure a
proper filter seal. Make sure that the O-ring is seated level in the
groove.
6. Insert a new cartridge into the sump making sure that it slips down
over the sump standpipe.
7 Remove gasket from cartridge end and slide Teflon
ter of cartridge then replace gasket on top of cartridge.
8. Screw the sump onto the cap and hand-tighten. Do not over-tight-
en. Make sure that the cap slips over the cap standpipe.
9. Turn on the water supply to allow the unit to slowly fill with water.
10. Check for leaks before leaving installation.
Each time that you use water from your unit for drinking or cooking pur-
poses, it is recommended that you run (flush) the tap for at least 10 sec-
onds prior to using water. This is particularly important if the water tap is
not used daily.

UV LAMP REPLACEMENT

1. Turn off all electrical power to the system by unplugging or throwing
the circuit.
2. Unscrew the UV control module from the mounting bracket (4 screws)
for Models UV-110, UV-120 and UVBB-120.
For Model UVS-100, slide mounting bracket retainer to allow access to
the UV bulb.
3. Slide the old bulb out and unplug from the control module.
NOTE: Hold the UV lamp only by the plastic covered ends of the bulb.
4. Carefully discard the old UV lamp.
5. Holding the new UV lamp only by the plastic covered ends of the bulb,
plug the new UV lamp into the control module or power cord. Slide the
new bulb into the cartridge housing and reattach UV control module or
secure mounting bracket retainer (depending on model).
6. Restore electrical power to unit.
7. Check for leaks.
