Before You Begin
The following will be needed for installing the UV system:
Tools
• Pipe cuer, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your exisng plumbing
(e.g. if you have PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, ux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for ghtening ngs)
Other Materials
• Inlet/outlet connecons
• Teon™ tape
Water Quality Parameters
Treated water should be tested for at the least the parameters listed below. If the water exceeds
the listed parameters LUMINOR strongly recommends that appropriate pretreatment equipment
be installed (equipment required will depend on parameters being treated):
Hardness: <7 gpg (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gpg or slightly below the
quartz sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure e-
cient UV penetraon; if above the water must be soened.
Iron (Fe): <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity: < 1 NTU
Tannins (organics): <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UVT (transmiance): >85% (Please contact LUMINOR if water has a UVT that is less than
80% for pre-treatment recommendaons)
You can have your water tested at a private analycal laboratory or by your local dealer. It
is always recommended to install pre-ltraon of at least 5 microns prior to a LUMINOR UV
disinfecon** system.
**LUMINOR’s systems are tested for reducon of the MS-2 coliphage challenge microorgan-
ism to demonstrate a log reducon greater than or equal to the reducon caused by a dose
of 40mJ/cm2.

System Sizing
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specic ow rate in water that meets the quality param-
eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the ow above this rang or disinfecng** water
that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the
ecacy of the system.
If you need to determine your maximum ow rate, you can ll a 1 gallon bucket with water and
me how long it takes to ll up. It is always beer to oversize your system then to undersize. For
example, if your pump delivers 8 gpm it is recommended to install any of the BLACKCOMB 10
gpm systems.
Locaon
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a locaon where the main cold water line is accessible.
The system must be installed aer other water treatment equipment (soener or lters), but
before any branches (See Figure 1). For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just before
the faucet. LUMINOR recommends that a 5 micron lter be installed before the UV system for a
nal polishing step before the water is disinfected**.

To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there is enough space at the lamp connector end to safely
remove the UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve (See Figure 2). The controller will require a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the reactor.
PLEASE NOTE: All LUMINOR UV disinfecon** systems are intended for indoor use only as
they should not be exposed to the elements.

Installaon
Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or
vercally using the clamps provided. Vercal installaon is the
preferred method with the inlet at the boom (lamp connecon
at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the lines to be easily
purged from the system.
Step 2: The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended as it will
allow you to isolate the UV reactor. This will allow for easier access
in case maintenance is required (See Figure 4).
Step 3: Fasten chamber clamps to wall with screws provided.
The screws must anchor securely into solid wood, concrete, or steel
structure for adequate strength. Do not aempt to secure screws
into drywall (Figure 3a). Install Chamber into clamps (Figure 3b).
Step 4: For water supplies where the maximum ow rate is
unknown, a ow restrictor is recommended so that the rated ow
of your parcular BLACKCOMB system is not exceeded. The ow
restrictor should be installed on the inlet port of the reactor.
Step 5: It is recommended to have a licensed plumber connect
the UV reactor to the water supply and may be a requirement
depending on where you are located.

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 coon gloves is recommended for this pro-
cedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp
which can ulmately block the UV light from geng to the water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor unl you can feel it hit the
opposite end of the reactor. Align the sleeve so it centered along the
length of the reactor, then gently push it in to lock it into the inter-
nal 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 unl it is bued up against
the reactor.

Sleeve Installaon
Step 7: Hand ghten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded end
of the reactor. It has a posive 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 LUMI-Loc™
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 (BLACKCOMB6.1 systems only). Align the at poron so it faces
the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 6). Insert
the sensor so it is fully seated and hand ghten the sensor nut.

Connecon
Step 9: The reactor is now ready for water ow. When all plumbing connecons have been com-
pleted, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are func-
oning 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 installaons, review steps 5 and 6. 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: Fasten controller securely to wall with screws provided. Drywall anchors may be used.
Note that the controller must be mounted vercally for adequate airow across the aluminum
heat sink on back (see Figure 7). For monitored systems, insert the sensor connector into the
IEP located on the right side of the controller (Figure 8). For the sensor to be recognized by the
controller, the controller power must be plugged in last. Do not plug the controller power cord
in before the last step.
