CERTIFICATIONS
The Delta UV ELP range of Ultraviolet Sanitation Systems for pools, spas, water features and
ponds are certified and listed by the following independent laboratories and authorities.
Certifications can be independently confirmed by visiting the specific websites shown with each
certification below :
o Listed under UL standard UL1081/UL1563 –US
o Certified To Canadian CAN/CSA Standard C22.2 No. 218.1
o MET Listing #
o http://
o Certified to NSF-50 Sanitation Standard
o NSF Listing #

o EPA Established #075659-FRA-001
Delta UV declares to be in conformance with the applicable provisions of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) requirements including Title 21, Chapter 1, Subchapter J pertaining to
radiological health.
All Delta UV systems are sized to match the maximum flow rate of the circulation pump(s).
Proper installation calls for 100% of the circulation system flow to pass through the UV reactor.
Slip stream or bypass installations which direct only a portion of the recirculation flow to pass
through the UV reactor cannot be guaranteed to produce the required sanitation and
dechloramination results and should be avoided. Delta UV systems are sized by confirming the
maximum GPM flow though the reactor to produce a dose of 60mJ/sec/cm2, which is the proper
UV-C dose for effective 99.99% (4 log minimum) kill rate for bacteria, algae and even chlorine
resistant parasites such as cryptosporidium, giardia, legionnella, and shigella.

B. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELP AMALGAM range reactors are ready to install, no work is required inside the reactor.
B. 1 RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION DIAGRAM
The reactor must be installed after the filter(s).
The full flow of the circulation system must flow through the UV reactor chamber.
However, in order to provide serviceability of the UV reactor without the necessity of
shutting down the circulation system, it is desired to provide a piping bypass system in
the circulation piping. The pipe size of the bypass should be the same size pipe of the
circulation system at the bypass location. Three valves are required to accommodate a
full bypass of the UV reactor. One valve is a bypass valve that normally remains closed
at all times while the UV system is in operation, and two valves isolate the UV reactor (in
closed position) when accessing the reactor for normal service such as quartz tube or
wiper ring replacement).
If you use the bypass the water circulation go through the bypass (blue arrows)
If you do not used the bypass the water circulation go through the reactor (green arrows)
To isolate the UV reactor during the maintenance: Open the By-Pass
- Open the valve 1
- Close the valve 2 and the valve 3
After maintenance: Close the By-Pass
- Open the valve 2
- Open slowly the valve 3
- Close the valve 1
