PRODUCT APPLICATION
CONSTRUCTION
• The water purifier is designed to mount horizontally.
• A drain port on the chamber aids in draining of the purifier.
• The water purifier chamber is passivated and electropolished type 316 Stainless Steel.
• The ballast housing is a combination of Stainless Steel Type 304 and Aluminum Alloy.
• Coated chambers are available for uses with special applications, consult Factory.
• Easy-off end caps allow for quick and easy lamp change, without disconnecting from the water supply or draining
the purifier. No tools are required.
P
RINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The MightyPure™ design has been carefully conceived to provide adequate germicidal dosage throughout the
disinfection chamber. The dosage, as it applies to ultraviolet disinfection, is a function of time and the intensity of
ultraviolet radiation to which the water is exposed. The exposure time, in seconds, is the total time it takes the water to
flow through the disinfection chamber exposing it to the germicidal lamp. Exposure time is related to the flow rate; the
higher the flow rate, the lower the exposure time or the lower the flow rate, the higher the exposure time. The
ultraviolet intensity is the amount of energy, per unit time, emitted by the germicidal lamp. The Dosage is the product
of ultraviolet intensity and the exposure time. The operation of the MightyPure™ is as follows:
1. Water enters the purifier and flows into the annular space between the quartz sleeve and the chamber wall.
2. Suspended microorganisms are exposed to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp.
3. The translucent sight port, or optional ultraviolet monitor, provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
4. Water leaving the purifier is instantly ready for use, no further contact time is required.
L
IMITATION OF
USE
The water purifier is intended for the use with visually clear water, not colored, cloudy or turbid.
See “Water Quality” section below.
The water purifier is NOT
intended for the treatment of water that has an obvious contamination or intentional source,
such as raw sewage; nor is the unit intended to convert wastewater to microbiologically safe drinking water.
WATER QUALITY
Water quality plays a major role in the transmission of germicidal ultraviolet rays. It is recommended that the water
does not exceed the following maximum concentration levels:
Table 1 - Maximum Concentration Levels
Effectively treating water with higher concentration levels than listed above can be accomplished, but may require
added measures to improve water quality to treatable levels. If, for any reason, it is believed the ultraviolet transmission
is not satisfactory, contact the factory.
Turbidity: 5 NTU
Manganese: 0.05mg/l
Total Suspended Solids: 10 mg/l
pH: 6.5 - 9.5
Color: None
Hardness: 6 GPG or 102.6 PPM
Iron: 0.3 mg/l

INSTALLATION
LOCATION
1. The water purifier is intended for indoor use only. The water purifier should be protected from the elements and
from temperatures below freezing. The ambient temperature, in the area surrounding the water purifier, should be
between 33 F and 100 F.
2. Electrical power supplied to the water purifier MUST
match power requirements listed on the water purifier. Use
of a voltage surge protector is recommended.
3. Plug water purifier into an approved ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle.
4. The water purifier should be located in a dry, well-lit area, which provides enough room to perform routine
maintenance. This includes a minimum distance of one chamber length from the chamber end, to allow for
cleaning and/or the changing of the lamp and quartz sleeve as well as a minimum of 6" on the opposite end of the
water purifier.
5. The water purifier should always be located closest to the point of use. This reduces the chance of the purified
water being re-contaminated by bacteria in the water distribution system after the water purifier.
6. CAUTION: As with any water handling device, the water purifier should be located in an area where any possible
condensation or leakage from the water purifier, any purifier accessory and/or plumbing will not result in damage
to the area surrounding the water purifier. For added protection, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan be
installed under the purifier. The drain pan must be plumbed to an adequate, free flowing, drain to prevent water
damage in the event of a leak. There are numerous leak detection/flood stop devices, available on the market today,
designed to stop the flow of water, reducing the chance of water damage due to leakage. For more details regarding leak prevention and/or limiting damages due to leaks, please contact the factory.
7. The water purifier should be located after all other water devices, such as De-ionizers, Water Softeners, Carbon
Filters, Pre-Filters, Reverse Osmosis, Pressure Tanks, and Pumps. This reduces the chance of the purified water
being re-contaminated by bacteria in any of these units.

3. The water purifier should be mounted horizontally on a flat dry surface. Secure the water purifier using the mounting
holes in the ballast housing or with the optional wall mounting kit. The purifier should not be solely supported by its
plumbing connections.
4. The water purifier must be connected to the cold water line only.
5. It is recommended that a 5-micron sediment filter be installed, in line, prior to the water purifier. The sediment filter will
stop or trap any particulates from entering the water purifier. Particulates may cause damage to the quartz sleeve, as well
as interfere with the purifier’s ability to disinfect the water. The sediment filter may also help to reduce the amount of
routine cleaning of the quartz sleeve.
6. Shut off valves should be installed on both the inlet and outlet sides of the water purifier. The use of bypass valves is
not recommended. The shut off valves allow the purifier to be isolated from the water supply, which is required when
removing the quartz sleeve.
7. Unions should be installed on both the inlet and outlet of the water purifier; this will allow easy removal of the water
purifier from the plumbing, if required. Apply Teflon®tape to threads of inlet and outlet ports to ensure a tight seal.
8. When all plumbing connections are complete, allow water to enter the water purifier at a low flow rate, until the purifier
is pressurized. With the purifier pressurized, it should be checked for leaks. Once it is determined that there are no leaks,
the inlet valve can be fully opened.
9. For Models with lamps packed separately, install lamp following the steps in “Lamp Installation or Replacement” section.
CAUTION: Lamp and quartz sleeve are easily damaged. Exercise care when installing lamp.
10. Once the plumbing hook ups are made, it is a good practice to disinfect the “downstream” plumbing between the purifier
and point of use. This is done by introducing chlorine into the purifier chamber, a 100-ppm solution of chlorine is
suggested. With the chlorine in the purifier chamber, turn the ultraviolet purifier on. Open the “downstream” outlet until a
chlorine odor is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the chlorine to remain in the plumbing for three (3) hours. Flush the
plumbing with ultraviolet purified water; allow the water to run for several minutes before use. This will allow the
chlorine to be flushed from the pipes.

INSTALLATION
1. Remove water purifier from shipping carton. Inspect water purifier, power cord and plug for damage. Do not operate if
there is any damage to the purifier, power cord or plug. Models MP13Athrough MP22Aare shipped with the lamps
already installed, while the MP36C and MP49C lamps are packed separately. Keep the lamp aside for installation once
the purifier has been properly installed.
2. Units occasionally experience damage in shipment due to the fragility of the quartz sleeve. It is therefore recommended
to inspect the water purifier for damage to the quartz sleeve after it has been removed from the shipping carton. Each end
of the unit as well as the inlet and outlet should be viewed to see if the quartz sleeve has experienced damage. If the
quartz sleeve shows signs of damage it should be replaced before the purifier is pressurized. See “Quartz Sleeve
Cleaning or Replacement” in the “Maintenance” section for the proper method of replacing the quartz sleeve in your
water purifier.
