OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & WATER CHEMISTRY

• Always disconnect power before performing any work on the

ultraviolet disinfection system.

• Regularly inspect your disinfection system unit to ensure the UV light

is still glowing.

• Replace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal use) to ensure

a high bacteria and virus kill rate.

• Always drain the UV system when closing a cabin/cottage or leaving

the unit in an area subject to freezing temperatures.

A. UV Lamp Replacement

To replace the lamp, there is NO need to disconnect the system from the water supply,

nor to drain the water from the reactor chamber. 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.

(UVA-1C, UVA-2C, UVA-4C, UVA-6C, UVA-8C, UVA-12C, UVA-24B – UVA-200B)

1. Disconnect main power source and allow the unit to power down. Remove the

lamp connector by sliding the metal retaining ring away from the body of the

connector. Remove the lamp from the reactor chamber. Separate the lamp from

the connector. Do not twist the lamp from the connector, simply slide the two

apart. Avoid touching the lamp on the glass portion. Handling the lamp at the

ceramic ends is acceptable, however if you must touch the lamp glass, please use

gloves, or 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.

2. To install a new lamp, rst remove the lamp from its protective packaging, again

being careful not to touch the lamp glass itself. Carefully insert the lamp into the

reactor 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. The connector is “keyed” and will only

allow correct installation in one position. Ensure the connector is fully seated onto

the UV lamp.

3. Once the lamp is fully seated on the connector, slide the connector over the

aluminum retaining nut. Make sure the metal retaining ring on the connector is

pulled away from the body of the connector in order that the connector may slide

fully over the retaining nut. Once the connector is located fully over the retaining

nut, slide the metal ring back into lock the connector in place. As this connector

is keyed to the reactor chamber, make sure the depression on the connector

is located over the ground lug located on the reactor chamber.

WATER CHEMISTRY

Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system.

The following levels are recommended for installation:

• Iron:<0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)

• Hardness *:< 7 ppm (120 mg/L)

• Turbidity: < 1 NTU

• Manganese: < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)

• Tannins: < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)

• UV Transmittance: > 75%

(Call factory for recommendations on applications where UVT < 75%)

* Where total hardness is more than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate eciently provided the quartz sleeve is cleaned

periodically. If total hardness is over 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. Proper pre-treatment is essential for the UV

disinfection system to operate as intended.

Page 6 Page 3

INSTALLATION NOTES & TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Notes

When there is no ow, the water in the cell will become warm, as the UV disinfection system lamp is always on. To

remedy this, run cold water tap anywhere in the house for a minute to ush out the warm water.

As the system requires time to reach its full operating capacity, please allow the disinfection system to operate 3-5

minutes prior to using the water from unit. In addition, to clear any air or debris form the system, open the faucet and

allow water to run through the disinfection system for 2-3 minutes.

Troubleshooting Guide

B. Quartz Sleeve Replacement And/Or Cleaning:

If the water contains any hardness minerals (calcium or magnesium), iron or

manganese, the quartz sleeve will require periodic cleaning. To remove the quartz

sleeve, rst the UV lamp as outlined above:

a) Shut o water supply and drain all lines.

b) Drain the UV chamber (use a small bucket under the unit to prevent a spill),

using drain port provided.

c) Remove nuts from chamber, checking for the free oating spring inside

sleeve at the opposite end to the lamp connection (do not allow quartz

sleeve to fall).

d) Carefully remove O-rings from the quartz sleeve. As the O-ring may tend to

adhere to the quartz sleeve, it is recommended to replace the O-rings annually.

e) Clean the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR, vinegar or some other

mild acid and then rinse avoiding the introduction of any water to the inside

of the sleeve.

f) Re-assemble the quartz sleeve with spring in the UV chamber allowing the

sleeve to protrude an equal distance from both ends of the UV chamber.

g) Wet the O-rings and slide onto each end of the quartz sleeve and reassemble

the gland nuts (hand tight is sucient).

h) Re-tighten all connections, turn on water and check for leaks.

i) Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior instructions.

j) Reconnect system to power source.

Note: If the system is put on a temporary by-pass or if it becomes contaminated after the disinfection system,

it will be necessary to shock the system with household bleach for a full 20 minutes before resuming use of the water.

CAUTION: When performing any work on the disinfection system unplug the unit rst and

never look directly at the burning UV lamp.

WARNING SYSTEMS INSTALLING YOUR DISINFECTION SYSTEM

• 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.

• The disinfection system should be connected to a ground fault interrupter.

• The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only, do not install disinfection

system where it may be exposed to the weather.

• Install the disinfection system on cold water line only.

• If treating the entire house, install the disinfection system before any branch lines.

• Ideally, your disinfection system should be the last treatment your water receives

prior to use.

• A 5 micron sediment lter must precede the disinfection system.

1. Remove the disinfection system from the shipping carton. For shipping purposes,

the UV lamp is packed in a separate tube. Set the lamp aside for use later. The

disinfection system should be mounted in the horizontal position, with the inlet/

outlet ports facing up. If the system must be installed in the vertical position, make

sure the inlet port is the one at the bottom of the system. Mount the unit in a clear

space with at least 36” (91.5 cm) of space at the lamp end to facilitate lamp and

or quartz sleeve removal. Fasten the disinfection system to a suitable mounting

platform with reinforcements.

2. It is recommended to install a suitable ow restrictor in order that the ow rate.

The use of a by-pass with shut-o valves is recommended for emergency use

of untreated water when your disinfection system is being serviced. Apply

two turns of Teflon tape around the port threads to ensure a tight join before

connecting unions.

Note: When the UV unit has been by-passed for service, the complete water system must be sterilized once

again with chlorine to destroy any contamination that may have passed during by-pass.

DO NOT SOLDER CONNECTIONS WHILE ATTACHED TO THE DISINFECTION SYSTEM AS

THIS COULD DAMAGE THE ORING SEALS.

3. 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 seal. In case of a

leak, shut water o, drain cell, remove the retainer nut, wipe the O-ring and threads

clean and re-install.

4. Once it is determined that there are no leaks, very carefully slide the UV lamp into

the UV chamber making sure the lamp pins are accessible for connection with the

lamp connector cable. Attach the lamp connector to the UV lamp, as outlined in

“UV Lamp Replacement” on page 5. Plug the disinfection system into the ground

fault interrupter, and check to see if the UV lamp is illuminated. NEVER LOOK

DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING UV LAMP. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to

clear any air or dust that may be in the cell.

C. Lamp Failure System

(UVA-1C, UVA-2C, UVA-4C, UV-6, UVA-8C, UVA-12C, UVA-24B – UVA-200B)

The audible alarm and indicator lights on the systems continuously monitor a lamp

operation. If the lamp does not start at any time, the indicator red light will glow and

audible alarm will sound. This alarm indicated the UV lamp is no longer operating and

must be corrected. Please refer to Troubleshooting Guide for corrective procedures.

Ultraviolet Monitoring System

The ultraviolet system features a complete warning system for continuous water

protection by constantly sensing the UV light operation. The system features a single
