Safety Considerations
It is important that care is taken when operating and/or maintaining your system.
Please read the instructions
• Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look
directly at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always
protect your skin from direct exposure to the UV light.
• WARNING: Do not operate the UV-C emitter when it is removed from the appliance
enclosure.
• The appliance is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a
rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• This appliance contains a UV-C emitter.
• Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the housing may result in the
escape of dangerous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation may, even in little doses,
cause harm to the eyes and skin.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the supply before replacing the UV-C
emitter.
• The appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the water mains and not
connected by a hose-set.
• Maximum working voltage of built-in UV driver U-OUT=240V
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
• Use ONLY genuine replacement parts.
• Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
• Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing
so. Contact the manufacturer for service instructions if required.
• Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse
of this system could potentially cause harm to the user or others.
• Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing.
DO NOT plug the unit in if the system or any of the electrical components are wet.
• The system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). Please note that for 230 volt RAINIER products, special High-current
GFCI’s (GFI’s) are required. These special GFCI’s can easily be obtained through
an electrical supply house, or are readily available from a local spa/hot tub supply
store as they are commonly used in these applications.

Before you begin
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 efcient UV penetration; if above the water must be
softened.
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 (transmittance): >85% (Please contact LUMINOR if water has a UVT that is
less than 80% for pre-treatment recommendations)
You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local
dealer. It is always recommended to install pre-ltration of at least 5 microns prior to a
LUMINOR UV system.
Installation Tools
• Pipe cutter, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your existing
plumbing (e.g. if you have PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, ux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for tightening ttings)
• Inlet/outlet connections
• Teon™ tape

System Sizing
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specic ow rate in water that meets the
quality parameters. PLEASE NOTE: increasing the ow above this rating or treating
water that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore
compromise the efcacy of the system.
If you need to determine your maximum ow rate, you can ll a 1 gallon bucket with
water and time how long it takes to ll up. It is always better to oversize your system
then to undersize. For example, if your pump delivers 40GPM, it is recommended to
install a RAINIER 58 GPM system.
Installation Location
Find a suitable location to mount the UV reactor and the accompanying control panel.
In choosing your location ensure that the panel is located within 5 feet of a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and that there is easy access to the main cold water line
prior to any branch lines and before the hot water heater. If you have any other water
treatment equipment, such as a softener or water lter, ensure that the UV is the last
piece of treatment equipment. PLEASE NOTE: All LUMINOR UV systems are intended
for indoor use only as they should not be exposed to the elements.
There are two different sizes of RAINIER control panels, depending on which system is
purchased. See Figure 2 below for 1-lamp systems, Figure 3 for 2-lamp systems.

Considerations Before Installation
• The UV system should always be the last piece of treatment before the water
branches off to any hot or cold water lines.
• LUMINOR strongly recommends that a 5 micron lter be installed before the UV
system for a nal polishing step before the water is treated.
• The reactor can be installed either horizontally or vertically, however vertical
installation is the preferred method with the inlet at the bottom (lamp connection
at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the lines to be easily purged from the
UV system.
• If you do not know the ow rate of the water supply in the application, it is
recommended that you use a ow restrictor so that the rated ow of your
particular RAINIER system is not exceeded and the UV dose is not compromised.
The ow restrictor should be installed on the outlet port of the reactor.
To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there is enough space on the end with the open
gland nut to safely remove the UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve (a space equal to the
length of the unit will sufce) (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. Lamp Removal Spacing
PLEASE NOTE: ALL LUMINOR UV SYSTEMS ARE INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE
ONLY AS THEY SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.

• It is strongly 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.
If you are attempting this yourself, ensure you have all the necessary tools and
ttings to accomplish this task.
• Although there are many methods of installation, this manual will provide a
recommended procedure using copper plumbing and standard soldering methods.
LUMINOR recommends the use of unions, a bypass assembly and shut-off valves
as this will allow you to isolate and remove the UV reactor if necessary (this is
a recommended method only as it allows for the maximum convenience but it
requires extra components and more time for installation).
Installation
Step 1: Before you cut into the cold water line,
measure and cut all piping as per the recommended
layout. Once all the components are ready, start by
installing the female adapters onto the ports of the
reactor. To ensure a proper seal, the use of Teon™
tape is recommended on all threaded connections.
Step 2: Solder whole assembly together; including ball
valves and unions. Connect the bypass assembly to
the cold water feed line (water in and water out).
Step 3: **Skip this step if the system arrived with the quartz sleeve(s) installed.**
Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the quartz sleeve from its
packaging using cotton gloves. Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor, ensuring that
it is centered, until it is all the way through the reactor and the amount of sleeve is even
on both sides. Slide one O-ring onto each side of the sleeve, until they are butted up
against the reactor. Repeat this step for the second sleeve on a 2-lamp system.
Step 4: Install the UV sensor (if applicable). Align
the at portion 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 tighten the sensor nut.
Step 5: Hand tighten the provided gland nut
over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded end
of the reactor. It has a positive stop to prevent
over-tightening. A rm force may be required
to fully tighten 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. Plug the male connector into the sensor
port located on the bottom of the control panel,
(see Figure 7),

Step 5: The reactor is now ready for water ow. When all plumbing connections have
been completed you should check for any possible leaks. Slowly turn on the water
supply and check for leaks. Make sure that any bypass valves are functioning properly
and that the water is owing through the reactor. The most common leak is from the
o-rings not making a proper seal on the reactor. If this is the case turn the water off,
drain the reactor, remove each o-ring, dry them and reapply silicon grease. Replace
each o-ring ensuring they are properly sealed against the reactor, re-tighten the gland
nuts and check again for leaks.
Step 6: Mount the control panel to the wall so it is above or beside the reactor, to
ensure that no moisture can deposit on any of the connections. The control panel can
be mounted up to 8 feet away from the reactor.
Step 7: Using cotton gloves, remove the lamp from its packaging, making sure to only
touch the ceramic ends of the lamp. Insert the UV lamp into the reactor, being careful
not to drop it. Repeat this step for a 2-lamp system.
Step 8: Plug the LUMI-Loc™ lamp connector into the lamp, being careful to not crack
the ceramic. Note the keying for proper alignment (see Figure 8). Insert the lamp
connector into the gland nut and turn the connector approximately 1/4 turn to lock the
connector to the gland nut (see Figure 9)
*Note: Repeat Steps 12 & 13 for 2-lamp system.
Step 9: Afx the ground wire to the ground lug on the UV reactor to ensure proper
grounding continuity (see Figure 10).
Step 10: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected
outlet. Refer to the following section before any water is allowed to ow through the
system.
