Pre-Start Up Sequence

Before using
the unit…

Step Action

Follow these steps before operating your WEDECO disinfection unit.

1 Check your plumbing:

x Make sure that new plumbing has no leaks.
x Flush pipes to purge soldering residue or other debris from the system.
x Expel air from the system to avoid pressure damage to the unit.

2

Before initial use of your UV system and after routine maintenance procedures, you should sanitize your
water system to ensure that no organisms are present.

Pour household bleach into your water system. If you have a filter container, fill it with bleach. If you have
no filter then introduces chlorine directly into your well. The amount of chlorine depends upon the
diameter and depth of your well. (Generally, use ½ gallon to treat an 8” diameter/80’ deep well and one
gallon for anything larger.) You may contact your State Extension Service or a water treatment specialist
for additional information.

Open hot and cold water taps throughout the house and let the water run until you detect a chlorine odor.
To ensure that the hot water heater is also purged, allow the hot water to run until the water becomes cold.

Turn off the taps and allow the water to stay in the pipeline for about six hours or overnight but not more
than 36 hours to avoid corrosion.

Open hot and cold water taps throughout the house and let the water run until the chlorine odor
disappears.

Flush the UV system for 5 minutes prior to start-up.

Plug one end of power cord into receptacle on the bottom of electrical control box, making sure plug is
pushed in completely.

IMPORTANT! Do not plug power cord into wall outlet until you begin the start-up
sequence.

x Ensure that headpiece O-ring is seated properly.
x Lubricate O-ring (use food-grade silicone).
x Check O-ring for cracks or rips. Replace if necessary.
x Check quartz sleeve for possible cracks. If sleeve is cracked, call distributor for

replacement.

x Verify that all electrical connections are correct.
x Replace lamp. If problem is solved, resume unit operation.
x If lamp still does not light, electrical control box may need to be replaced. Call distributor

for replacement information.

x Replace lamp if it is more than 365 days old or nearing the end of its lamp life.
x Perform routine maintenance.
x Check water quality. If water quality has changed then you may need to install filters or

other disinfection units to ensure that water supply does not exceed recommended
maximum concentration levels (shown in Step 1 of Pre-Installation Instructions).

x Verify flow rate using the flow rate table found in the Technical Specifications at the back

of the manual.

x The unit will restart automatically.

Note: The unit is designed for continuous operation. Never connect the unit to a timer or other
device, which will cause the unit to cycle on and off. Excessive cycling of the power will
reduce lamp life.

x Ensure that the unit is assembled and installed correctly. In the case of improper handling

or assembly during installation and/or servicing, the unit will turn off power to the lamp
and display a blank screen.

x Check for damage to the lamp filament elements, quartz sleeve, or electrode connectors.

Applying power to a unit with such damage will cause a blank display screen. Damage
may be caused from shipping, overheating the lamp by operating the unit with no water in
the chamber, introducing debris into the unit from the water source, or improper handling
or assembly during service or installation.

Note: In most cases, replacing the lamp, and/or quartz sleeve will return the unit to proper
operation. If the unit fails to resume operation, notify your distributor.

x The ballast or control circuit may be faulty. Call distributor for replacement information.
