Viqua UVMAX H, UVMAX K, UVMAX PRO10, UVMAX PRO20, UVMAX PRO30 Instruction Sheet

VIQUA UVMAX Lamp and Quartz Sleeve Replacement

Instruction Sheet

Models: H, K, H+, K+, PRO10, PRO20, PRO30 and PRO50

Overview

UV Lamp replacement: The amount of UV light created by the UV lamp decreases over time, requiring that the UV lamp be

replaced. The system will automatically notify you when it is time to replace the UV lamp.

Quartz Sleeve replacement/maintenance: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be
removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the quartz
sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Thermal Hazard

• Allow UV lamps, UV chamber to cool for a minimum of 10 (ten) minutes before handling.

• When there is no water flow, the water in the chamber will become hot. To prevent scalding, allow the system to cool for 10 minutes before

draining the system.

Personal Injury Hazard

• UV lamps and quartz sleeves are fragile. Do not strike, bend or apply pressure, or they will break.

• DO NOT handle UV lamps or quartz sleeves with bare hands. Wear rubber or latex gloves to handle previously installed UV lamps and soiled

quartz sleeves to protect against contaminants. Wear cotton gloves to handle new UV lamps and clean quartz sleeves.

Hg Exposure

• The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion of the debris and avoid exposure to eyes and skin. Never use

a vacuum cleaner to clean up a broken lamp as this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the removal and
disposal of mercury waste.
