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.

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.

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 disinfection performance. 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).
