Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently
remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not
to touch the length with your hands. The use of coon gloves
is recommended for this procedure as oils from the hands can
leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can ulmately
block the UV light from geng to the water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor unl you can feel
it hit the opposite end of the reactor. Align the sleeve so its
centered along the length of the reactor, then gently push it
in to lock it into the internal centering springs in the far side
of the reactor. CAUTION: Pushing too hard when the sleeve is
not aligned can damage the centering springs. Slide the o-ring
onto the sleeve unl it is bued up against the reactor.

Step 7: Hand ghten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded
end of the reactor. It has a posive stop to prevent over-ghtening. A rm force may be
required to fully ghten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS for this step. Insert the
provided stainless steel compression spring into the quartz sleeve. The spring works
with the lamp and lamp connector to create the proper lamp alignment. PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT install a UV lamp inside the quartz sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 8: Install the UV sensor (“NP6” systems only). Align the at poron so it faces
the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure
5). Insert the sensor so it is fully seated and hand ghten the sensor nut.

Step 9: The reactor is now ready for water ow. When all plumbing connecons
have been completed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure
the by-pass valves are funconing properly and that the water is owing through the
reactor. The most common leak is from the o-ring not making a proper seal on the
reactor. For new installaons, review steps 6 and 7. For older systems drain the reactor,
remove the o-ring, dry it and reapply silicon grease. Reinstall the o-ring ensuring that it
is properly sealed against the reactor and check again for leaks.
Step 10: Mount the controller to the wall so it is above or beside the reactor to ensure
that no moisture can deposit on any of the connecons (see Figure 1). Always mount
