WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be
observed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2. CAUTION - Disconnect power before servicing.
3. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken
since water is present near electrical equipment. 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 technician.
4. Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
5. Do not operate the disinfection system if it has a damaged cord or plug, if
it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
6. Always disconnect water ow and unplug the disinfection system before
performing cleaning or maintenance activities. Never yank the cord to
remove from an outlet; grasp the wall plug and pull to disconnect.
7. Do not use this disinfection system for other than intended use (potable
water applications). The use of attachments not recommended or sold
by the manufacturer/distributor may cause an unsafe condition.
8. Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this disinfection system
where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below
freezing. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be exposed
to the weather. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be
exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water has been
drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
9. Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the water
disinfection system.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should
be used. A cord rated for less Amperes or Watts than the disinfection
system rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so
that it will not be ripped over or pulled.
11. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: The UV light given off by this unit can cause serious burns to
unprotected eyes and skin. Never look directly at an illuminated UV lamp.
When performing any work on the UV disinfection system always unplug the
unit rst. Never operate the UV system while the UV lamp is outside of the
UV chamber.
Note: The UV lamp inside of the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately
9000 hours. To ensure continuous protection, replace the UV lamp annually.

OPERATION PARAMETER
IMPORTANT: The following conditions for feed water supply must be met
or warranty will be void and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility
for damage to system or property.
1. Water Temperature Parameter
The system MUST NOT be installed in an area where it is exposed to direct
sunlight and must be protected against freezing and extreme heat.
• Maximum: 100° F (37.8° C)
• Minimum: 32° F (0° C)
2. Water Pressure Parameter
The maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure
is over 80 psi, night time pressure may exceed the maximum allowed water
pressure. Use a pressure reducing valve (PRV) to reduce the pressure if
needed.
• Maximum: 125 PSI (8.78 kg/cm2)
• Minimum: 25 PSI (1.75 kg/cm2)
3. Water condition tolerance
Water passed through the unit must fall within the following parameters:
a) Iron: <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
b) Hardness*:<7 ppm (120 mg/L)
c) Turbidity: < 1 NTU
d) Manganese: < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
e) Tannins: < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
f) UV Transmittance: > 75% (call factory for recommendations on
applications where UVT < 75%)
* Where total hardness is more than 7 gpg, the water should be softened.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
STEP 1
1. Shut off the main water supply valve. Locate the main water supply valve of
the house and turn off completely by turning the shut-off handle clockwise.
2. Test to see if the water is completely shut off by turning on the closest faucet
in the cold water position. If the cold water cannot be shut off, please contact
your local plumber to x the valve before beginning system installation.
STEP 2: Mounng the UV System
1. Remove the disinfection system components from the shipping carton. For
shipping purposes, the UV lamp and quartz sleeve are packed in separate
packaging tubes inside the main carton to avoid damage during transit.
IMPORTANT: Leave the lamp and quartz sleeve inside the packaging and
set aside for use later in the installation process.
2. Horizontally or vertically position the UV system to the desired mounting
location. Ensure that there is enough clearance for the system and future
maintenance and removal of the UV lamp. Ideally the clearance should
consider the length of the UV lamp and the ballast prong connector.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the Quantum UV system be
mounted in a vertical position. This ensures optimal contact time for the
UV wavelength inside the UV chamber to sterilize contaminants.
Quantum UV
IMPORTANT:
Mounting location should allow
adequate space for removing
the UV lamp and quartz sleeve
components for maintenance.

3. Fasten the UV chamber system to a suitable mounting surface with the
provided system mounting clips.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the inlet and outlet ports on the UV chamber are
clear from any obstruction and plumbing can be routed to the location of
the install.
4. Before connecting plumbing lines assemble the unit and install the quartz
sleeve and UV lamp.

10
STEP 4: System Assembly
IMPORTANT: During the assembly and handling of
the quartz sleeve and UV lamp it is recommended to
wear plastic gloves. DO NOT touch the quartz sleeve or
UV lamp with bare hands. Fingerprints can reduce the
performance of the UV lamp.
1. Remove the unit from the mounting surface and place the
system on a at, stable surface to assemble.
2. Locate and remove quartz sleeve and UV lamp from the
packaging. If necessary, wipe all ngerprints from quartz
sleeve and lamp with isopropyl alcohol and a dry cotton cloth or paper towel.
3. Locate and remove both end caps from the UV system by unscrewing them
counterclockwise.
STEP 3: Connecng the UV System
IMPORTANT: On copper plumbing systems, be sure to install a grounding
wire between the inlet and outlet piping to maintain grounding.
WARNING! Any solder joints being soldered near the valve must be done
before connecting any piping to the system. Always leave at least 6” (152
mm) between the UV system and joints being soldered when soldering
pipes that are connected to the UV system. Failure to do this could cause
damage to the UV system.
1. The UV system is equipped with 3/4” male NPT connections (18GPM unit is
equipped with 3/4” Female NPT and 1” Male NPT). It is recommended that
these connections are made using 6-10 wraps of plumber’s tape.
2. The ow of the water can go either direction depending on the location.
3. Connect the inlet and outlet of the UV system using appropriate ttings.
Important! Make sure the inlet and outlet connection does not interfere
with the replacement of the UV lamp and quartz sleeves.
