7. Clean sumps and heads, inside and outside
with washcloth and cleaning solution. Do
not use abrasive materials.
8. Rinse sumps and heads with clean potable
water.
9. Clean and rinse the Stainless Steel Channel-
ing Sleeve (Item 3) and Sleeve Gasket (Item 4)
shown in Figure 2.
10. Inspect head and sump “O” ring groove area
for damage (i.e. nicks or scratches). Replace

DISINFECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND SANITARY
RUBBER GLOVES WHILE PERFORMING
THIS PROCEDURE.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATIONS OF
BLEACH WILL DAMAGE PLASTIC AND
RUBBER COMPONENTS. Rinse all parts
that contact bleach thoroughly with clean
potable water.
CAUTION: Read the “WARNINGS” on the bleach
container before using.
CAUTION: Handle sanitizing solution carefully.
Avoid contact with unprotected areas.
1. Disconnect system from electrical outlet.
2. Mix sanitizing solution:
a. Mix 237 ml (1 cup) of household bleach
and 237 ml (1 cup) of clean, potable water
in a bucket. Mix the solution well.
CAUTION: Use care when sanitizing UV head. Do not
get the UV control module or connectors
wet.
CAUTION: TIGHTEN SUMPS BY HAND ONLY. Do not
use tools as they will over-tighten and
may damage sump. Take care not to cut
or pinch “O” rings or gaskets. Use sump
wrench for removal only.
3. Add sanitizing solution into system:
a. Add 473 ml (2 cups) of sanitizing solution
to the sump that contains the UV lamp.
4. Slowly open the feed water supply valve.
5. Open all downstream faucets. Keep faucets
open until a chlorine smell is detected at
each faucet, then close faucets.
NOTE: Water lines downstream from UV housing
must be disinfected to destroy any bacteria
that might remain in the pipes.
6. Verify disinfection solution has reached every
water outlet downstream of UV system.
Solution must remain in the system for at
least four hours.
7.
the water lines.

Introduction
DESCRIPTIONS AND DEFINITIONS
You have purchased one of the most technologically advanced Ultraviolet Water Treatment System available
anywhere in the world. It has been designed with you, the consumer, in mind. Dr. Mercola’s Pure & Clear
products will provide you with healthy, clean drinking water for years to come.
What is Ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun has long been
known for its ability to destroy microorganisms.
However, it has only been in recent years that equip-
ment producing UV light has been manufactured for
residential use.
WARNING: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT A LIGHTED
UV LAMP. ULTRAVIOLET RAYS CAN BE
HARMFUL TO EYES.
Energy produced by the UV lamp has the ability to
destroy microorganisms that can live in water. There
viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa.
When these microbes are exposed to the proper
amount of UV energy, their DNA structure is
scrambled, and they are unable to reproduce. Since
the cell is now sterile or dead, it is no longer a threat.
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon has been used for hundreds of
years to treat taste, odor, and color problems in
water. Activated carbon has been proven to be an
excellent media to product produce better tasting
water and to remove harmful water contaminants
at a reasonable cost.
wood, coal, or coconut shells. The raw carbon is
ground up and “activated” by heating the granules
at a controlled temperature and pressure.
This process causes the carbon granules to expand
and create active sites where pollutants can be
collected by adsorption.
These new sites dramatically increase the total
surface area and capacity of each granule.
