about your SyStem:
A minimum 5 µ nominal pre-lter is recommended upstream (before) the UV system installation
point. As UV system efciencies are dictated by penetration of the UV light through the water
column, particulate matter within the water column could decrease the disinfection capacity, and
potentially create a harmful condition (ltration systems sold separately).
* To meet NSF/ANSI Standard 55 Class A and CSA B483.1 requirements, these systems must be used
in conjunction with Vitapur OWL UV sensor option.

water QualIty parameterS:
Water quality will adversely affect the performance of your Vitapur® UV disinfection system, and the
following levels should be utilized as a guideline for pre-treatment requirements of the inuent water
supply prior to UV treatment:
Iron Total iron count must be less than 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Turbidity Count must be less than 1 NTU
Tannins Count must be less than 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
Manganese Count must be less than 0.05 ppm (0.05mg/L)
Hardness Count must be less than 120 ppm (7 grains per gallon)
%UVT (transmittance) Must be greater than 75%
If you are using untreated surface water or untreated groundwater as your source of supply, the
suitability of the water supply for potable applications must be conrmed by the provincial / state
and/or local health agency that has jurisdiction.
If the test results indicate that: (1) any of the above contaminant levels are being exceeded, or (2)
any prevailing drinking water health standards are not being met, additional pre-treatment options
must be installed that will eliminate all contaminants posing health risks. Non-municipal water should
be tested on an ongoing basis to ensure treatment efciency.

InStallatIon InStructIonS: optIonal bypaSS lIne and draIn valve:
To prevent contamination of water in the plumbing, which may pose a health hazard, do not
use the bypass line and valve if your source of supply is untreated surface water or groundwater.
If your source of supply is treated municipal water, use of the bypass line and valve will permit
uninterrupted treated water service in the event of a system malfunction. Always test the bypass
valve following each use of the bypass line, prior to re-starting the Vitapur®UV disinfection system
to conrm that the valve has been fully closed and that only water from the outlet port will be
going downstream. The installation of a drain valve, while not required for system operation, is
recommended for all installations of the Vitapur®UV disinfection system. The installation of a drain
valve will allow the service technician to drain the system of water prior to conducting any service
on the unit.
InStallatIon InStructIonS: acceSSIbIlIty, orIentatIon & fIttIngS:
Always mount the Vitapur®UV in a location that provides ample space for accessing the ultraviolet
lamps. Service may require removing the UV lamp and quartz tube. A minimum distance equivalent
to the length of the UV reaction chamber (stainless steel cylinder) plus 6-12” (15-30cm) is required
to ensure adequate clearance. As the Vitapur®UV disinfection system generates heat during use,
please ensure that no combustible items come into contact with, or are in proximity to the system. It
is recommended that you maintain at least 6” (15 cm) of clear wall space on all sides of the Vitapur®
UV for cooling purposes. This will prolong the operating life of the system. Mount electronic controllers
where they will not get wet during maintenance or from condensation from copper pipes, etc.

In-houSe water dIStrIbutIon SyStem dISInfectIon:
The following procedure is recommended for installations of the Vitapur®UV disinfection system in a
whole house treatment application. For systems installed on a municipally treated water system, plumbing
system disinfection is at the discretion of the user.
To disinfect the distribution system, carry out the following steps (please ensure that the UV system remains on
during the entire process):
• Familiarize yourself with the various shut-off valves on your system. It is important to understand which
combinations of valve positions allow you to isolate the Vitapur® UV disinfection system
• Shut the main water supply off
• Close the valves necessary to isolate the UV Prelters. Remove the lter cartridge closest to the UV. Fill the
sump with 1-2 cups of household chlorine bleach (5.25%).
• Re-install the sump (without lter) and slowly re-pressurize the system. Open each faucet and allow cold
water to run until you can smell chlorine in the water. Shut off the faucet and repeat with all other household
faucets including hot water. Be sure to include all exterior faucets, shower heads, and dishwasher / washing
machine lines within this process.
• Allow the solution to remain in the lines for 30 minutes minimum.
• Re-install the pre-lter cartridge, and ush each individual water line as above until no chlorine odor is detected.
It is critical to ensure that the water distribution system is fully ushed of all residual chlorine prior to use.
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED. As the level of chlorine in the system is approximately 25-50
times greater than that observed in municipally treated water (this is required for the disinfection of the
household lines). It is extremely important that proper ushing procedures be followed from all taps prior to use.
Note: The introduction of a chlorine disinfection solution to a hot water heater that has been used with
untreated hard water or water with excessive iron, manganese or other organic contaminants may lead
to oxidization of these materials. If you feel that these conditions may apply to your installation, a thorough
ushing of the hot water tank should be done to eliminate the oxidized material from entering the distribution
lines.

• Slowly open the supply valves before and after the UV system and ensure there are no water leaks.
• For Class A And B Models: Connect the electronic ballast to the power outlet, and ensure that
both the ballast display (indicates lamp life remaining) and the green LED illuminate. The glow from
the UV lamp should also be visible through the VuCap (May not be visible in high ambiant lighting)
Your UV disinfection system is now ready for use.
• For Class A models: After powering up the lamp, plug UV sensor into OWL controller and connect
the OWL controller to power outlet. Refer to OWL manual for set up and programming instructions.
NOTE: In order to meet NSF-55 certication the ow restrictor that is included with the UV system must
be used to control the ow of water through the UV chamber. The ow restrictor should be
placed on the output. In most settings, the system should have a manual shut off valve at the
input. The water ows in the direction of the arrow located on the ow restrictor label.

The UV system should remain on continuously to ensure protection of your water system. During normal
operation of the system, the green power LED light will be illuminated and the display will indicate the number
of days remaining until lamp replacement is required.
During periods of non-use, it is normal for the temperature of the water in the cylinder to rise. Simply ushing
the water line will alleviate this condition. During humid conditions, sweating, or small water droplets may
be noticed on the surface of the UV reaction chamber. The formation of condensation during high humidity
conditions is normal. Do not allow condensation to drip onto ballast or the Class A system OWL controller.
The following instructions have been provided to assist with general maintenance of the system; UV lamp
replacement and quartz sleeve cleaning/ replacement. All other system repairs must be completed by an
accredited service technician.
For system repairs, rst contact your local water treatment dealer where you purchased this product or an
accredited service technician by calling our Customer Service Center at 1-888-592-8370
WARNING: Never attempt to service the Vitapur®UV system unless you are an accredited service technician,
as the performance of the system could be adversely affected.
WARNING: The lamp heats up after continuous use and can burn your skin if touched. Allow lamp to cool for
at least 5 minutes before removing. Do not operate the UV lamp outside of the reactor. The lamp in the unit
emits powerful Ultraviolet light that can cause permanent damage to skin and eyes. Never look at the lamp
when the unit is turned on. Handle the UV lamp by the ends only. Do not touch the bulb of a lamp with your
ngers. If the surface of the lamp becomes dirty, use a clean lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to remove
the dirt.
Your Vitapur®UV disinfection system is equipped with a visible / audible lamp failure indicator. In the event
of a failure of the UV lamp, the red LED light will ash and a loud beeping will be audible from the electronic
ballast of the unit. The lamp life countdown timer will stop decrementing. Please note that if these conditions
occur and you are on a non-municipal supplied water source, you should immediately stop using the water
for potable applications until the lamp is replaced and disinfection of the distribution lines is completed.
The ultraviolet lamp has an approximate life of one year (9000 Hrs.). Although the UV lamp will continue to
operate long past 9000 hours, the UV output continually decreases after 9000 hours, and the UV lamp may
no longer provide adequate disinfection. The built in 365 day countdown timer displays the number of days
remaining until lamp replacement is required. When countdown timer reaches 0 days an intermittent audible
alarm will be activated and display will indicate alarm A3. In order to allow time to obtain a replacement
UV lamp, the audible alarm can be silenced for 7 days by pressing and holding button on ballast for 2-5
seconds. After 7 days, alarm will sound again if lamp has not been replaced. This can be done a maximum of
4 times which allows a total of 28 days to obtain a replacement UV lamp. After 4 times, alarm can no longer
be silenced until a replacement lamp is installed and the lamp life alarm is reset to 365 days by pressing and
holding button for 10 seconds.
Replacement UV lamps and quartz sleeves are available from an authorized dealer. Use only Vitapur®lamps
and sleeves to ensure system performance. Replacement lamps and quartz sleeves are sold under the
following model numbers:

by the ceramic tips.
• Insert the new UV lamp into the quartz sleeve and attach the connector.
• Repressurize system by slowly opening water inlet valve.
• Check the system for leaks.
• Plug in ballast to the electrical outlet.
• Ensure that the UV lamp is operating – the green power LED light should be illuminated, the red lamp failure
LED light should be off and no audible alarm should be active.
• Display will show number of days until lamp replacement is required. If a new lamp was installed. Press and
hold button on ballast for 10 seconds to reset countdown timer.
Mineral deposits and sediment build-up on the quartz sleeve will affect the system performance by decreasing
the UV light transmitted through the quartz sleeve into the water column.
The proper maintenance and replacement of the pre-ltration required for the UV system will reduce the
accumulation of mineral and sediment residue on the quartz sleeve.
The quartz sleeve may be cleaned with a commercially available, non-abrasive, scale remover (should be acidic)
and a lint free cloth. Cleaning of the quartz sleeve should be done on a regular basis to ensure maximum system
performance. The amount of cleaning required will vary depending upon local water conditions.
All traces of the cleaning solution must be fully removed from the sleeve before it is reinstalled in the system.
Care should be taken to prevent any cleaning uid from coming into contact with the inside surface of the
quartz sleeve.

*Water Hammer: Sudden closure of a control valve or stopping of a pump produces excessive pressure surges in a
pipeline. These pressure surges can cause signicant damage to equipment and/or appliances directly attached to
the water line. Water hammer is usually noted due to the characteristic banging sounds when valves on the line are
suddenly closed. Water hammer conditions must be immediately remedied, and damage to systems as a result of this
condition are not covered under warranty.

renSeIgnementS Sur votre SyStème
Il est recommandé d’installer un préltre nominal d’au moins 5 µ en amont du point d’installation du
système UV (avant celui-ci). L’efcacité du système UV dépend de la pénétration du rayonnement UV
dans la colonne d’eau, c’est pourquoi la présence de particules dans celle-ci peut réduire la capacité de
désinfection et éventuellement créer des conditions nuisibles (systèmes de ltration vendus séparément).

InStructIonS d’InStallatIon : conduIte de dérIvatIon et vanne
de draInage facultatIveS
An d’éviter la contamination de l’eau à l’intérieur de la tuyauterie, ce qui pourrait être nocif pour la santé,
n’utilisez pas de conduite de dérivation ni de vanne si votre source d’alimentation est une eau de surface
ou souterraine non traitée. Si votre source d’alimentation est une eau municipale traitée, l’utilisation de la
conduite de dérivation et de la vanne permettra un approvisionnement ininterrompu en eau traitée en cas
de défaillance du système. Testez toujours la vanne de dérivation après chaque utilisation de la conduite
de dérivation et avant de remettre en marche le système de désinfection UV Vitapur® an de conrmer
que la vanne est complètement fermée et que seule l’eau de l’orice de sortie peut progresser vers
l’aval. L’installation d’une vanne de drainage, bien que non requise pour le fonctionnement du système,
est recommandée pour toutes les installations du système de désinfection UV de Vitapur®. L’installation
d’une vanne de drainage permettra au technicien de vider l’eau du système avant de réparer l’appareil.
L’installation recommandée pour le système de désinfection UV Vitapur®est illustrée sur le schéma ci-dessous.
InStructIonS d’InStallatIon : acceSSIbIlIté, orIentatIon et raccordS
Installez toujours le système UV Vitapur® dans un endroit qui offre sufsamment d’espace pour accéder aux
lampes à rayonnement UV. Il pourrait être nécessaire de retirer la lampe à rayonnement UV et le tube de
quartz lors de réparations. Une distance minimum équivalente à la longueur de la chambre de réaction UV
(cylindre d’acier inoxydable) plus 15 à 30 cm (6 à 12 po) est requise pour garantir une marge de manœuvre
sufsante. Le système de désinfection UV Vitapur®produit de la chaleur lors de l’utilisation, c’est pourquoi il
est important de s’assurer qu’aucun élément combustible n’entre en contact avec celui-ci ou ne soit à sa
proximité. Il est recommandé de maintenir un espace libre minimum de 15 cm (6 po) entre chaque côté
du système UV Vitapur® et les murs an qu’il puisse refroidir. La durée de vie du système sera ainsi prolongée.
Installez les régulateurs électroniques à un endroit où ils ne seront pas mouillés durant l’entretien, et où ils
seront à l’abri de la condensation produite par les tuyaux en cuivre, etc.
