Water Chemistry:
Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are
recommended for installation:
•Iron:<0.3ppm(0.3mg/L)
•Hardness*:<7gpg(120mg/L)
•Turbidity:<1NTU
•Manganese:<0.05ppm(0.05mg/L)
•Tannins:<0.1ppm(0.1mg/L)
•UVTransmittance:>75%(callfactoryforrecommendationsonapplicationswhereUVT
<75%)
*Where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate eciently provided the quartz sleeve is cleaned
periodically. If total hardness exceeds 7 gpg, the water should be softened. If your water chemistry contains levels in
excess of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is recommended to correct these water problems prior to the
installation of your UV disinfection system. These water quality parameters can be tested by your local dealer, or by
most private analytical laboratories. Properpre-treatmentisessentialfortheUVdisinfectionsystemtooperateas

Installing your UV Disinfection System:
CAUTION
The electronic ballast must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle. Ensure the
green ground wire ring terminal is securely fastened to the UV chamber ground stud using its ground nut.
Ensure the green ground wire fork terminal is securely fastened to the electronic ballast using its ground screw.
The disinfection system is designed to be installed at point-of-entry. Drip loops in all cordage connected to the electronic
ballast is highly recommended. Refer to installation diagram below.
• The complete water system including any pressure or hot water tanks, must be sterilized before start up by ushing
with chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any residual contamination. Refer to Disinfection Procedure Section.
• For safety purposes, the disinfection system must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI).
• The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only. Do not install disinfection system where it may be exposed to
the weather. Protect system from freezing temperature.
• Refer to specications page for ambient conditions and maximum operating pressure.
• Install the disinfection system on cold water line only.
• If treating the entire house, install the disinfection system before any branch lines.
PROCEDURE:
1. The diagram below shows the installation of a typical drinking water system and the related components that may
be used for the installation. The use of a bypass assembly is recommended in case the system requires “o-line”
maintenance. If this is the case, it must be noted that the system will require supplementary disinfection of the
distribution system if any water is used during this bypass condition. In addition, during bypass, the water will NOT
be disinfected and a “DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER” tag should be physically installed on the bypass assembly
until such time as the system is sanitized and returned to service. Please refer to the Disinfection Procedure Section
for the complete disinfection procedure. If the water is to be consumed while the system is o-line, the water must be
brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before consumed. At higher altitudes, boiling should be extended to 3
minutes. Refer to public health boil-water advisory recommendations.

2. Select a suitable location for the disinfection system and its related components. As it is recommended to install a
ground fault protected circuit (GFCI), make sure that this is taken into consideration prior to any installation. When
selecting a mounting location, you must also leave enough space to allow for the removal of the UV lamp and/or
quartz sleeve, as well as enough space to change out the lter cartridge.
3. Install the quartz sleeve as shown on assembly page 5. Keep quartz sleeve free of nger prints and dirt. Make sure
the small lamp compression spring is inside the sleeve. Carefully insert sleeve into the UV chamber (do not drop) until
the sleeve domed end seats in the center of the hourglass retainer spring located in the bottom end of the chamber.
Install o-ring onto the sleeve until it is positioned against the chamfered seat. Install the aluminum gland nut on the UV
chamber by turning clockwise and hand-tighten only.
4. Mount the system to the wall with appropriate lag screws (not supplied) through the two mounting holes located on
the metal manifold. Refer to page 6 for dimensions and weight. Various connection methods can be used to connect
the water source to the system, however due to thermal expansion concerns and potential material degradation
due to UV exposure, it is recommended to use metal ttings and at least 10” of copper pipe on the outlet of your UV
chamber. The use of a ow restrictor device is strongly recommended when installing your system in order to maintain
the manufacturer’s rated ow rate. The ow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port and is designed to be
installed in one direction only. Ensure that the ow of the water matches the ow direction as indicated on the ow
restrictor. DO NOT SOLDER CONNECTIONS WHILE ATTACHED TO THE SYSTEM AS THIS COULD DAMAGE
THE O-RING SEALS.
5. Mount the electronic ballast controller onto the metal manifold as shown on assembly page 5. A ground stud and nut
are provided on the UV reactor chamber. Attach the supplied 3 foot long, #14 AWG green ground wire to this ground
stud using the ring terminal end. Attach the fork terminal end of the ground wire to the electronic ballast controller
ground screw.
6. Install the UV lamp as shown on assembly page 5. Handle the lamp by the ceramic end caps; keep lamp quartz
surface free of nger prints and dirt. Carefully insert the lamp into the UV vessel (actually inside the quartz sleeve);
leave approximately two inches of the lamp protruding from the chamber and attach the lamp connector to the UV
lamp. Make sure the connector is fully seated on the lamp. Slide the connector and bushing into the aluminum gland
nut. Gently press down on the bushing and squeeze/slide the U clip through the gland nut’s four upper holes (2 pair,
180° apart).
7. Install the lter cartridge as shown on assembly page 5.
8. When all plumbing connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely cause
for leaks is from the o-ring seals. In case of a leak at the UV chamber, shut water o, drain chamber, remove gland
nut assembly, wipe the o-ring and threads clean and re-install. In case of a leak at the lter, shut o water, vent/drain
and remove sump, wipe o-ring and threads clean, ensure the o-ring is properly seated, then reinstall.
9. Once it is determined that there are no leaks, plug the system into the GFCI, and check electronic ballast controller
to ensure the system is operating properly. The controller is designed to detect both power to the system and lamp
illumination. It is important to NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE GLOWING UV LAMP.
10. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the UV chamber.
PLEASE NOTE: When there is no ow, the water is the chamber will become warm, as the UV lamp
is always on. To remedy this, run a cold water tap anywhere in the house for a minute to ush out the
warm water.

PAGE 10
Disinfection Procedure:
UV disinfection is a physical disinfection process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As
UV does not provide a disinfection residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be
chemically disinfected to ensure that the water is free from any bacteriological contaminants. The disinfection process
must be performed immediately after the UV unit is installed and repeated thereafter whenever the UV is shut down
for service, without power, or inoperative for any reason. The procedure for sanitizing the plumbing system is readily
accomplished as follows:
• Ensure the electronic ballast controller is
plugged in for entire disinfection process.
• Shut o the water supply.
• Close each valve.
• Slowly and partially open vent to release
the pressure from the lter.
• Remove sump housing using sump
wrench.
• Remove cartridge and pour 2 cups of
household bleach solution into the sump
housing.
Note: DO NOT use Hydrogen Peroxide.
• Connect only the sump housing to the
unit.

PAGE 11
Minutes
• Make sure vent is closed.
• Turn on water supply.
• Allow water to ll the chamber.
• Turn on the cold water supply faucets
followed by hot water until you smell the
bleach. You must ensure that all taps,
including outside faucets, dishwasher,
shower heads, washing machines,
connection to refrigerators, toilets, etc.
pass the bleach solution.
• Close all faucets and allow bleach to
settle in the water lines for 30 minutes.
• With valves closed, vent pressure and
remove sump housing using sump
wrench.
Notes:
1. Household bleach’s main constituent
is 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (liquid
chlorine). The addition of chlorine to
a hot water tank that has in the past
been fed with untreated raw water
with high levels of other contaminants
(iron, manganese, hydrogen
sulphide, organics, etc.) will result
in oxidation of these contaminants
and may require repeated ushing of
the hot water tank. This contingency
must be dealt with independently
under the start-up procedure for any
other conditioners that may form a
part of the pre-treatment for the UV
unit.
2. This disinfection procedure will result
in a massive chlorine residual far in
excess of the 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L typically
present in municipally chlorinated
water and of a magnitude consistent
with the minimum 50 mg/L chlorine
solution recommended for the
disinfection of distribution systems
known to be contaminated. Do not
consume water until complete system
has been ushed.
• Reinstall the cartridge into sump housing
and connect to the unit.
• Open valves and ush all water outlets
until bleach can no longer be smelled (at
least 5 minutes).
• Vent to purge air and to complete the
disinfection procedure.

Maintenance Instructions:
WARNING
• Always disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system.
• Always shut-o water ow and release water pressure before servicing.
• Regularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are
present.
• Replace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection.
• Always drain the chamber when closing a seasonal home or leaving the unit in an area subject to freezing
temperatures.
UV LAMP REPLACEMENT:
NOTICE
• Reset lamp life timer after lamp replacement. Refer to page 15. Refer to www.lamprecycle.org for UV lamp disposal.
• Do not use water during replacement of UV lamp.
1. To replace the lamp, there is NO need to disconnect the system from the water supply, nor to drain the water from
the UV chamber. DO NOT USE WATER DURING THIS PROCEDURE. Lamp replacement is a quick and simple
procedure requiring no special tools. The UV lamp must be replaced after 9,000 hours of continuous operation
(approximately one year) in order to ensure adequate disinfection. Refertotheassemblydiagramonpage5.
2. Unplug the electronic ballast from the electrical outlet and allow the lamp to cool for at least 5 minutes before
removing. Pull out the U clip from the gland nut. Remove bushing, connector and lamp from the UV chamber.
Separate the lamp from the connector. Do not twist the lamp from the connector, simply slide the two apart. Avoid
touching the lamp’s quartz surface. Handling the lamp at the ceramic ends is acceptable, however if you must touch
the lamp quartz, please use gloves or a soft cloth. Fully remove the lamp from the reactor chamber being careful not
to angle the lamp as it is removed from the chamber. If the lamp is removed on an angle, pressure will be applied on
the inside of the quartz sleeve, causing the sleeve to fracture.
3. To install a new lamp, rst remove the lamp from its protective packaging, again being careful not to touch the lamp’s
quartz surface. Oil deposits from your ngers can create hot spots on the surface which may lead to premature
lamp failure. Handle the lamp by the ceramic ends only. If the quartz surface becomes dirty, use a lint-free cloth and
isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt. Carefully insert the lamp into the UV vessel (actually inside the quartz sleeve). Insert
the lamp fully into the chamber leaving about two inches of the lamp protruding from the chamber. Next, attach the
connector to the UV lamp. Ensure the connector is fully seated onto the UV lamp.
4. Once the lamp is fully seated on the connector, slide the connector and bushing into the aluminum gland nut. Gently
press down on the bushing and squeeze/slide the U clip through the gland nut’s four upper holes (2 pair, 180° apart).
5. Plug in ballast to the electrical outlet. RESETLAMPLIFETIMERAFTERLAMPREPLACEMENT*PAGE15)
QUARTZSLEEVEREPLACEMENT/CLEANING:
Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the quartz sleeve decreasing the UV light transmittance and system
performance. Good maintenance of ltration equipment will reduce the accumulation of residues. If necessary, remove the
quartz sleeve and clean with a commercially available scale remover (CLR, Lime-Away, etc.) and a lint free cloth. Repeat
the process as often as necessary to keep the quartz sleeve clean. Be sure to remove all traces of cleaning uid from the
sleeve before it is reinstalled in the UV chamber (be sure not to allow liquid inside the sleeve).
1. First remove the UV lamp by following steps 1 & 2 as outlined in the “Lamp Replacement” section above.
2. Shut o the upstream water supply that feeds water into the UV chamber.
3. Shut o the downstream water supply. Use the lter housing vent-valve to slowly depressurize. If your system does
not have a separate downstream valve, simply open a downstream faucet to release any pressure that may be built-
up in the system.

PAGE 13
4. Remove the aluminum gland nut by turning counter clockwise. Place a small pail under the UV chamber to catch any
water that may leak from the system. Grasp the quartz sleeve and fully remove from the UV chamber. Make sure the
sealing o-ring is removed with the quartz sleeve. As with the lamp, make sure the sleeve is removed from the UV
chamber being careful not to angle the sleeve as it is removed from the chamber to avoid breakage.
5. Clean the sleeve as previously described, or replace with a new sleeve. Reinstall the quartz sleeve in the reverse
order. To install the sleeve, carefully insert the sleeve into the UV chamber (do not drop) until the sleeve domed end
seats in the center of the hourglass retainer spring located in the end of the chamber. Install o-ring onto the sleeve
until it is positioned against the chamfered seat. Make sure the small lamp compression spring is inside the sleeve.
6. Reinstall the aluminum gland nut on the UV chamber and tighten by turning clockwise. The gland nut should be hand-
tightened only, the use of a wrench is not required, nor recommended. Reinstall the UV lamp and connector as
outlined in steps three and four of the “Lamp Replacement” section.
7. Slowly turn on water and pressurize the chamber to verify that there are no leaks.
8. Reconnect to power source and ensure that the UV lamp is operating by verifying ballast green LED indicator is on
and display is operational.
Note: After replacing the UV lamp or quartz sleeve, perform the disinfection procedure.
FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT :
It is recommended to change the lter cartridge every six months (or earlier). Please note that a drop in pressure may
indicate that the lter cartridge requires replacement.
It is recommended to replace the lter housing sump at least every 5 years.
Note: Prior to performing any work on the drinking water system, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRONIC BALLAST
CONTROLLER FIRST. As a small amount of water may leak from the cartridges during this procedure, please place a
small bucket under the system to catch any water.

• replace lter cartridge with appropriate 5 micron cartridge
Note: check source water supply as uctuations may occur in
source pressure
Flow regulator (not provided) • ow regulator will result in pressure drop when approaching full
ow
High Bacteria
Counts
Quartz sleeve is stained or dirty • clean sleeve with scale cleaner and eliminate source of staining
problem (i.e. soften hard water, see page 3)
Change in feed water quality • have source water tested to ensure that water quality is still
within allowable limits for this system
Contamination in water lines after UV
system due to a power failure, plumbing
dead ends, etc.
• it is imperative that euent water stream be shocked with
chlorine (bleach) before water leaves UV system - disinfection
system must have a bacterial free distribution system to work
eectively (see page 10-11 disinfection procedure).
Possible break-through of sediment
through pre-lter
• have source water tested for turbidity - may need stepped
ltration in order to catch all sediment entering water system
(20 micron lter followed by a 5 micron lter followed by UV
system)
