Instructions
5|Page
• The system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If the
use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a minimum of 16
gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potenal tripping hazards.
• We recommend that a licensed plumber or cered technician install the system.
This product is not to be used for general lighng / illuminaon.
Before You Begin
The following will be needed for installing the UV system:
Tools
• Pipe cuer, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your exisng plumbing
(e.g. if you have PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, ux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for ghtening ngs)
Other Materials
• Inlet/outlet connecons
• Teon™ tape
Water Quality Parameters
Treated water should be tested for at the least the parameters listed below. If the water exceeds
the listed parameters LUMINOR strongly recommends that appropriate pretreatment equipment
be installed (equipment required will depend on parameters being treated):
Hardness:
<7 gpg (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gpg or slightly below the
quartz sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure e-
cient UV penetraon; if above the water must be soened.
Iron (Fe):
<0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn):
<0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity:
< 1 NTU
Tannins (organics):
<0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UVT (transmiance):
>85% (Please contact LUMINOR if water has a UVT that is less than
80% for pre-treatment recommendaons)
You can have your water tested at a private analycal laboratory or by your local dealer. It
is always recommended to install pre-ltraon of at least 5 microns prior to a LUMINOR UV
