LOCATION
1. The water purifier is intended for indoor use only. The water purifier should be protected from the elements and from
temperatures below freezing. The ambient temperature, in the area surrounding the water purifier, should be
between 33 F and 100 F.
2. Electrical power supplied to the water purifier MUST
match power requirements listed on the water purifier. Use
of a voltage surge protector is recommended.
3. The water purifier should be located in a dry, well-lit area, which provides enough room to perform routine maintenance.
This includes a minimum distance of one chamber length from the chamber end, to allow for cleaning and/or the
changing of the lamp and quartz sleeve as well as a minimum of 6” on the opposite end of the water purifier.
4. The water purifier should always be located closest to the point of use. This reduces the chance of the purified water
being re-contaminated by bacteria in the water distribution system after the water purifier.
5. CAUTION: As with any water handling device, the water purifier should be located in an area where any possible
condensation or leakage from the water purifier, any purifier accessory and/or plumbing will not result in damage to the
area surrounding the water purifier. For added protection, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan be installed under
the purifier. The drain pan must be plumbed to an adequate, free flowing, drain to prevent water damage in the event of a
leak. There are numerous leak detection/flood stop devices, available on the market today, designed to stop the flow of
water, reducing the chance of water damage due to leakage. For more details regarding leak prevention and/or limiting
damages due to leaks, please contact the factory.
6. The water purifier should be located after all other water treatments, such as de-ionizers, water softeners, carbon
filters, pre-filters, reverse osmosis, pressure tanks, and pumps. This reduces the chance of the purified water being
re-contaminated by bacteria in any of these units.
7. The system should be located within 5' of an electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should be an approved Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Do not use an electrical outlet, which can be switched off.
RECOMMENDED OPTIONS
Not all options are available in all voltages (120v, 220-240v or 12v DC); consult the factory with specific requirements.
1. Sentry
™™
Safety Sensor: Pilot lamps provide constant visual monitoring of normal operation. In the event of power or
lamp failure the safety sensor indicates an alarm condition. The safety sensor is capable of operating an optional audio
alarm and/or solenoid valve.
22..
Audio Alarm:: Lamp Status Alarm, activated by the Sentry
™™
Safety Sensor, produces a high pitched, pulsed tone to
alert the user to any malfunction detected.
3. Time Delay Mechanism: Provides a 2-minute warm up period during which the ultraviolet lamp achieves its full
germicidal output before the water is allowed to flow through the water purifier. The time delay mechanism is used
in conjunction with, and is electrically connected to the Solenoid Valve.
4. Elapsed Time Indicator: A non-resettable display of the water purifier operating hours. Useful for scheduling
and recording maintenance and lamp replacement.
5. Solenoid Valve: Operated in conjunction with the Safety Sensor or Time Delay Mechanism, this valve prevents
water flow through the water purifier when an abnormal condition is detected or in the event of power failure.
6. SureFLO
™™
: Flow Control Valve, limits water flow to the rated capacity of the purifier. The flow control valve is
located in line prior to the water purifier, and should be protected from ultraviolet exposure by the use of a
90-degree elbow fitting between the flow control valve and the water purifier.
MAINTENANCE
• The water purifier is designed to operate with a minimal amount of maintenance, providing the water quality does not
exceed maximum concentration levels.
• Ordinary maintenance consists of the cleaning of the quartz sleeve, when conditions warrant.
• Lamp replacement is recommended every 10,000 hours of operation (approximately 12 months of continuous service).
INSPECTION
1. Regularly inspect the water purifier to ensure that the germicidal lamp is still in operation.
• An LED indicator light, located on the ballast, provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation. This provides
an indication of lamp operation and does not indicate the level of ultraviolet intensity or transmission through the water.
• On purifiers so equipped, the Sentry
™™
Safety Sensor provides visual indication of ballast and ultraviolet lamp operation.
2. To ensure proper operation of the water purifier, regular biological testing should be performed on a schedule
recommended by local public health authorities, or at minimum; at installation, quarterly for the first year of
service and annually, at lamp replacement, for the life of the water purifier.
