treated and flushed. Once the unit is plugged in, the new UV lamps may take

from a few moments to several hours to reach full power. Having a Lamp Alarm

is normal with a new system (or with newly installed lamps) until the lamps have

reached full power.

Summary of Installation:

Unpack and install Upstream on wall

Install top & bottom hose to unit and to plumbing

Install optional Shutoff solenoid valve

Install optional bypass & drain plumbing

Install purge valve discharge line to a suitable drain line

Connect system power cord to supplied Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor

Connect Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor to GFCI

Assembling the Unit

Step 1: Unpack the unit, being careful to remove all packaging material. Inspect

the unit for damage particularly the quartz sleeve – See Figure 4A for

disassembly. Check if UV lamps fully inserted.

Step 2: The Upstream has keyhole slots for convenient mounting – use all four

mounts. Do not mount the unit directly to an outside wall; mount on

plywood or shims – See Figure 1E. Remove the top and bottom covers of the

unit to make the mounting holes accessible.

Step 3: Connect the Stainless flexible hoses to both the top and bottom of the

Upstream. Make sure that the sealing washer is inside the hose end before

making the connection. Hold the stainless manifold with a wrench then tighten

the hose securely. Wrap the top hose with pipe insulation. (Not provided)

Connecting the Pipes

We recommend that a qualified plumber or certified technician perform the water

connections for your Upstream. Water must flow into the inlet at the bottom of

the unit. The outlet is located at the top of the unit. Install the optional shutoff

valve before the unit.

Step 1: Shut off the water supply. Caution: Always turn off the water supply

before modifying or disconnecting any piping. Always open a faucet after shutting

off the water supply to relieve water pressure and ensure that the water has been

completely shut off.

Step 2: If you have decided to install an optional bypass line and drain, you may

begin to install these fittings at this point. See Figure 1B or 1C for more

information on how to connect optional bypass piping and drain.
