Pre-treatment (illustrative only): For the UV system to operate effectively, the water should meet certain 3 water quality parameters, as outlined below. To meet these, pre-treatment of the water may be required. Pre- treatment equipment must be installed BEFORE the UV chamber. Pre-treatment systems can be comprised of one or more of the

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW OPERATION MAINTENANCE WARRANTY DISINFECTING THE WATER LINES UV systems disinfect the water using ultraviolet light, treating the water as it passes through the system. When there is a risk that water downstream of the UV system has been contaminated, it is critical that these water lines be chemically disinfected. Disinfection of the water lines is therefore required after initial system installation and following any period of time during which the system is inoperativ

SLEEVE CLEANING & LAMP REPLACEMENT Sleeve cleaning Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing purification performance. Basic models: please clean the sleeve regularly (3-4 times per year, or more often depending on water quality). When only cleaning is required, follow instructions and re-install the current lamp.
