INSTALLATION

1. The water purifier should be mounted horizontally, on a flat dry surface. The water purifier should be secured using

the mounting clips. The purifier should not be solely supported by its plumbing connections.

2. The water purifier must be connected to the cold water line only.

Figure 2 - Recommended Installation

3. It is recommended that a 5-micron sediment filter be installed, in line, prior to the water purifier. The sediment filter

will stop or trap any particulates from entering the water purifier. Particulates may cause damage to the quartz

sleeve, as well as interfere with the purifier's ability to disinfect the water. The sediment filter may also help to

reduce the amount of routine cleaning, of the quartz sleeve, required.

4. Shut off valves should be installed on both the inlet and outlet sides of the water purifier. The use of bypass valves

is not recommended. The shut off valves allow the purifier to be isolated from the water supply, which is required

when removing the quartz sleeve.

5. Unions should be installed on both the inlet and outlet of the water purifier; this will allow easy removal of the water

purifier, from the plumbing, if required. Apply Teflon

tape as necessary to ensure a tight seal.

6. When all plumbing connections are complete, allow water to enter the water purifier at a low flow rate, until the

purifier is pressurized. With the purifier pressurized, it should be checked for leaks. Once it is determined that there

are no leaks, the inlet valve can be fully opened.

7. Unpack the lamp and ballast. While holding lamp end, carefully push lamp socket on. Carefully slide lamp straight

into the quartz sleeve, without angling. Push the end cap on, over the static gland nut. For 120v or 220-240v

operation, attach the ground connector to the grounding tab of the chamber.

CAUTION: Lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged. Exercise care when installing lamp.

8. For 120v operation, plug ballast into an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Where a

2-prong or unprotected 3-prong receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced by a properly grounded Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Installation must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any

local codes and ordinances by a qualified Electrician.

For 12v DC operation;

• The ballast must be wired to an adequate 12v DC source with appropriate gauge wire for the voltage and current. It

is recommended that the ballast have a dedicated run to the 12v source, and protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker.

• Always disconnect the battery(s), or other 12v source, before installation or performing any maintenance.

• The ballast is supplied with a 6-foot, 2 wire, power cord and 5-foot lamp cord, the ballast must be located so the

lamp is easily removed and does put any tension on the lamp, which could cause damage to the lamp and/or

quartz sleeve. All installed wiring should be protected from heat, wear points (abrading) or mechanical stress.

Secure ballast using the mounting tabs located on the ballast body.

• Wire ballast power cord as follows;

Brown wire - Positive (+) to protected (fuse or circuit breaker) 12v DC source.

Blue wire - Negative (-) to suitable chassis ground.

• If there are any questions or concerns regarding the installation and/or wiring of the 12v system, consult a qualified installer.

9. Once the plumbing hook ups are made, it is a good practice to disinfect the "downstream" plumbing. This is done

by introducing chlorine or other disinfectant solution directly into the purifier chamber, a 100-ppm of chlorine is

suggested. With the disinfectant solution in the purifier chamber, turn the ultraviolet purifier on. Open the "down

stream" outlet until a chlorine odor is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the disinfectant to remain in the plumbing

for three (3) hours. Flush the plumbing with ultraviolet purified water; allow the water to run for several minutes

before use, this will allow the ultraviolet lamp to reach its full germicidal output.
