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 purification performance. Please clean the sleeve regulary (3-4 times per year, or more often depending on water quality). When only cleaning is required, follow instructions and re-install the current lamp.

CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT It is recommended to change the filter cartridges regularly, approximately 3-4 times per year depending on water quality and usage. A gradual drop in water pressure after the filtration device is an indication that the pre-filter cartridges are nearing the end of their useful life. Discard the used cartridges and clean the sump housing.
