System Sizing
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specic ow rate in water that meets the quality param-
eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the ow above this rang or disinfecng
**
water
that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the
ecacy of the system.
If you need to determine your maximum ow rate, you can ll a 1 gallon bucket with water and
me how long it takes to ll up. It is always beer to oversize your system then to undersize. For
example, if your pump delivers 8 gpm it is recommended to install any of the BLACKCOMB 10
gpm systems.
Locaon
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a locaon where the main cold water line is accessible.
The system must be installed aer other water treatment equipment (soener or lters), but
before any branches (See Figure 1). For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just before
the faucet. LUMINOR recommends that a 5 micron lter be installed before the UV system for a
nal polishing step before the water is disinfected

To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there is enough space at the lamp connector end to safely
remove the UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve (See Figure 2). The controller will require a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be mounted beside or above the reactor.
