FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
This guide covers installation and maintenance of a basic “generic” system. Installer determines
conguration of each system and must adapt these instructions to meet the specic requirements for that
conguration. Specic component and assembly information is provided only for components that are
unique to Pure & Clear Systems. All inter-component connections use standard plumbing components and
tools.
INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET
CAUTION: Do not use any damaged component. If damage is found, contact Mercola.com before
proceeding.
1. Unpack boxes and verify that all required components have been received (see Preparation section).
2. Inspect each component for damage.
3. Determine location for installation of the UV system:
a. The UV Well Water lter system should be installed with the sumps oriented vertically.
CAUTION: The UV system may be installed horizontally, but the Quartz Sleeve will be in a position that
makes it susceptible to breakage.
b. Mounting point should allow sucient room above and below UV system to service the sumps
and UV lamp without removing the UV system. The minimum space is 20” (above and below).
4. For ease of mounting, reduce the weight of the larger systems by removing the sumps and lters
prior to installing the mounting bracket.
5. Select a location and install the mounting bracket using the provided screws.
INSTALL SYSTEM PLUMBING
CAUTION: Water pressure must not exceed 75 psig (517 kPa) or a pressure regulator must be used.
CAUTION: Do not install pump on outlet side of system as damage to the quartz sleeve may occur. If
pump is required, install it on inlet side of system and verify output pressure does not exceed
75 psig (517 kPa).
CAUTION: Warranty is void if the unit is used with pressure exceeding 75 psig (kPa). Higher pressures
may damage equipment and may not allow for proper exposure time with UV lamp or both.
CAUTION: The system will not function properly if water ow is reversed. See the Exploded Schematic
on the following pages to ensure proper ow direction.
1. Turn o source water supply.
CAUTION: Mercola.com recommends using only plastic ttings to connect the inlet and outlet ports of
the UV Well Water Filter system. Use of metal male ttings inside of plastic female threaded
heads voids the warranty.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten ttings connected to inlet/outlet ports of the UV Well Water Filter system.
2. Connect inlet of UV system to source water supply using proper ttings and thread sealing tape.
3. Connect outlet of UV system to water distribution lines using proper ttings and thread sealing tape.
CAUTION: Do not install clear or translucent tubing on the outlet side.
4. See appropriate system assembly and activation procedures for your system to complete installation.
This system must be installed in accordance with
applicable city, country, and local plumbing codes.
Dr. Mercola’s Pure & Clear products are designed to
provide years of trouble-free service
if properly maintained.
Retain these instructions for future reference.

SYSTEM ASSEMBLY AND ACTIVATION PROCEDURES
PREPARATION—INSPECT ALL PARTS
NOTE: Read mounting bracket and system plumbing installation instructions on Pages 5 & 6 and all
instructions in this section before installing system.
NOTE: See Page 9 for detailed parts breakdown. Refer to the label axed to the mounting bracket to
identify lter (s) to be installed with UV module.

Sump Wrench
INSTALL QUARTZ SLEEVE AND DISINFECT SYSTEM
CAUTION: QUARTZ SLEEVE IS VERY FRAGILE!
For safety, wear a protective glove when
handling quartz sleeve. Do not touch
Quartz Sleeve or UV lamp with bare
hands. Fingerprints will reduce the
eectiveness of the light.
1. Remove Sump from UV head
NOTE: Do not remove protective plastic bag from
Quartz Sleeve until so instructed.
2. Remove Quartz Sleeve from packing tube.
While holding middle of Quartz Sleeve with
one hand, slide protective bag with other
hand to expose open end.
3. Place a small amount of silicone based “O”
ring lubricant on the outside of the open end
of the Quartz Sleeve only on the area that will
engage with the “O” ring.
CAUTION: Apply even pressure to push the Quartz
Sleeve into the UV head. To avoid break-
age, make sure Quartz Sleeve goes in
straight by pushing it with slight twisting
motion.
4. Insert Quartz Sleeve into the UV head. As
Quartz Sleeve passes both “O” rings, resis-
tance will be felt. Remove protective bag
from Quartz Sleeve.
5. Disinfect the system (Pages 11, Steps 1-7).
INSTALL ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND FILTERS
1. Remove from UV head
NOTE: Wipe all ngerprints and excessive lubricant
from Quartz Sleeve with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Verify Stainless Steel Channeling Sleeve and
Sleeve Gasket are in sump as shown in
Figure 2.
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. Use sump wrench for
removal only.
3. Being careful not to dislodge Quartz Sleeve,
install sump with Stainless Steel Channeling
Sleeve and Sleeve Gasket onto UV head.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL A DAMAGED LAMP
INSTALL CONTROL MODULE AND UV
LAMP
INSTALL CONTROL MODULE AND UV LAMP
NOTE: Hold UV lamp by ceramic ends only. Do not
touch glass. Clean it with isopropyl alcohol if
necessary.
4. Remove UV lamp from packing tube and
inspect it for damage. If damage is found,
contact Mercola.com for a replacement.
The UV Well Water Filter control module installation
kit includes:
a. Control Module—Qty 1
b. Screws, 6.32 x 3.8—Qty 4
c. Washer, Lock, #8—Qty 1
d. Safety Rod Plunger—Qty 1
(ONLY FOR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE
LAMP OUT CIRCUIT OPTION)
e. Installation Guide
5. Unpack the carton box and verify that all the
required components have been received.
6. Connect UV lamp into four-pin socket located
at the bottom of UV control module.
7. Verify Safety Plunger Rod is in place.
NOTE: System with Light-Out Circuit does not have a
safety plunger rod.
8. Carefully insert the UV control module with
UV lamp through mounting bracket into the
Quartz Sleeve.
9. Install the UV control module on top of the
ultraviolet disinfection system’s bracket with
four screws and one lock washer (for ground-
ing purposes) as shown in the Figure 2.
ACTIVATE SYSTEM
CAUTION: Verify that inlet and outlet ports are
connected to appropriate inlet/outlet
pipes (see Figure #).
1. Plug system into an electrical outlet. If the
LED indicator does not light up within one
minute, verify UV lamp is securely plugged
into UV control module and safety plunger
rod is in place (see Note in Step 7 above). It
is normal for the LED indicator to icker
slightly.
NOTE: The UV lamp should remain on at all times
during use because: repeated starting of
UV lamp shortens lamp life, and UV lamp
requires a warm up period of 1-2 minutes.
2. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
3. Flush system, connectors, and water lines for
several minutes to remove carbon nes.
NOTE: When an ultraviolet water treatment system
is unused for several hours, water within sys
tem could become warm. This is a normal
condition. To cool the water, dispense water
from system.
NOTE: System is now ready for use.
