cleaning the unit

The exterior surfaces of the Aquafine UV unit should be

kept clean as part of routine maintenance. Use a soft cloth

with soap and water or any commercial stainless steel

cleaner. Avoid scratching the Lexan instrument window.

LED status display panel

Monitor the Status Display LED Panel daily.

Immediately replace any failed UV lamp.

UV lamp replacement

Replace Standard UV lamps after 8,000 hours of use. Replace

High Efficiency (HE) UV lamps after 8,000 hours of use.

THIS IS BASED ON NO MORE THAN 3 ON/OFF

POWER CYCLES PER 24 HR. PERIOD.

Please follow all operating requirements outlined in the

warranty section of this manual.

Premature lamp failure or lamp life deterioration can be

expected if the UV unit is cycled on/off more than three

(3) times a day. To replace the lamps, follow the proce-

dures on pages 11-14.

quartz sleeve cleaning

& replacement

As water passes through the ultraviolet treatment unit,

minerals, debris and other substances in the water will

settle and deposit onto the quartz sleeve. This will impair

the ability of the ultraviolet rays to penetrate the water.

Recent studies have shown that degradation of the quartz

sleeve from continuous exposure to UV reduces the amount

of UV radiation transmitted into the water stream. Based

on these findings, we recommend the annual replace-

ment of the quartz sleeves in addition to routine

cleaning.

cleaning the quartz sleeves

Visually inspect a quartz sleeve thirty days after use to

see if any debris or film has settled on the outside. If

dirty, follow these procedures:

1. Turn off the water to the unit.

2. Disconnect the electrical circuit.

3. Drain the UV treatment chamber.

4. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of

the quartz sleeves and UV lamps.

5. Remove the retainer caps and lamp sockets.

6. Remove the ultraviolet lamps from inside the

quartz sleeves.

7. Using the appropriate compression nut tool, loosen

the compression nuts and carefully remove the

quartz sleeves.

8. Wash the quartz sleeves with mild soap and water

and rinse with clean, hot water.

Should this be insufficient to clean the quartz sleeves,

they should be replaced. To place an order, contact

Aquafine or your local representative. To replace the

quartz sleeves, follow the procedures on pages 8-10.

cleaning the sensor probe

window

1. Shut off the flow and release the pressure.

2. Shut off all power to the UV unit.

3. Remove the coaxial cable by pushing and twisting

the BNC terminal counterclockwise. The connector

will slide off.

4. Twist and pull the probe from the sensor fitting.

5. Use a lint-free cloth with alcohol and very

carefully wipe the lens face on the front of the

probe. Failure to do so may result in false readings.
