MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power to the Nutripure®
before performing any service or maintenance.
• The Nutripure®is designed to operate with a minimal amount of maintenance.
• A regular cleaning cycle of the STER-L-RAY ®Germicidal Ultraviolet Lamp(s), interior, PromateTM sight glass and intake
filter(s) MUST be established, and carefully maintained, based on inspection and experience. The frequency of cleaning will
vary with the conditions surrounding each installation. It is recommended that the ultraviolet lamp(s) interior, sight glass, and
filters be cleaned at least once every three (3) months.
• The STER-L-RAY ®Germicidal Ultraviolet lamp(s) used in the Nutripure®have a manufacturer’s rated average effective
life of 10,000 hours. STER-L-RAY ®Lamp(s) may operate longer than their rated effective life, but the reduction
in ultraviolet output will make it impractical to use past the manufacturer’s rated life. For maximum efficiency lamp
replacement is recommended every 10,000 hours of operation or about one (1) year of continuous use.
• Unless lamp replacement is due to failure or breakage, it is recommended that all lamps be replaced at the same time.
