  • Page 3: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this system – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this system. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional protection from the risk of electric shock, this system should only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding-type power supply receptacle that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Inspect operation of GFCI as per manufacturers suggested maintenance schedule. EXTENSION CORDS If an extension cord is necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from this system. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the system. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than this system rating may overheat. Exercise caution when arranging the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord. Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting this system from the extension cord. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Always grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following: R EAD AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. D ANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of this system. Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and troubleshooting sections, do not attempt repairs yourself; refer to an authorized service facility. C AUTION - Do not operate with broken or faulty parts as this may result in exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Contact supplier for replacement parts. Do not operate the system if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

Pre-treatment (illustrative only): For the UV system to operate effectively, the water should meet certain water quality parameters, as outlined below. To meet these, pre-treatment of the water may be required. Pre- treatment equipment must be installed BEFORE the UV chamber. Pre-treatment systems can be comprised of one or more of the following elements: sediment filters; carbon filters; iron removal systems; water softeners; cyst reduction filters, etc. Water Quality Requirements: Iron: < .3 PPM (.3 mg/L) Hardness: < 120 PPM (7 Grains Per Gallon) % UVT: > 75% Tannins: < 0.1 PPM IMPORTANT: A 5 micron (nominal) sediment filter must be installed before the UV system and after any water softening equipment Bypass shut-off valve: Bypass line and valve are optional.

  • Page 13: Disinfecting The Water Lines

    DISINFECTING THE WATER LINES UV systems disinfect the water using ultraviolet light, treating the water as it passes through the system. When there is a risk that water downstream of the UV system has been contaminated, it is critical that these water lines be chemically disinfected. Disinfection of the water lines is therefore required after initial system installation and following any period of time during which the system is inoperative, whether due to an alarm condition, a power failure, or for any other reason. Make sure the UV system is on during the entire disinfecting process. Plus models only: Unplug power supply and then unplug sensor from blue jack. Make sure power supply is plugged in for entire disinfection process. (sodium hypochlorite)

Go to a water outlet and allow the cold water to flow until you can smell bleach, then stop the flow. Allow hot water (if present) to flow until you can smell bleach, then stop the flow. Repeat procedure at all water outlets. Remember to include all faucets, washing machines, toilets, outside taps, and other water outlets. Note: Y ou will likely run out of bleach; if you cannot smell bleach at a given outlet, turn off the main water supply, depressurize and add more bleach to the filter housing.

    SLEEVE CLEANING & LAMP REPLACEMENT Sleeve cleaning Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing purification performance. Basic models: please clean the sleeve regularly (3-4 times per year, or more often depending on water quality). Plus models: the need to clean the sleeve will be indicated by a low UV alarm (flashing red indicator light beside the sensor on control panel - see Control Panel section for details). When only cleaning is required, follow instructions and re-install the current lamp. Lamp replacement The amount of UV light created by the lamp decreases over time, requiring that the lamp be replaced every 12 months. NOTE: The UV system is designed to operate continuously and should not be shut off for short periods of time, such as over a period of less than three weeks. A, B4, C4 Models: Please keep track of your lamp's life. After 12 months follow these instructions to replace system with a new lamp. D4, E4, F4 and Plus Models : The system will automatically notify you after 12 months to replace the lamp. Follow these instructions. Equipment required: Clean cotton, Scale remover Cloth must be Cotton swab.
