Congratulations on the purchase of your ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection
system! This system uses the most advanced UV technology on the market and is
designed to provide you with years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance
required to protect your drinking water from microbiological contaminants.
To ensure ongoing disinfection of your water, UV lamps need to be replaced annually
with VIQUA factory-supplied replacements. VIQUA lamps are the result of extensive
development resulting in a highly efficient disinfection platform with extremely stable UV
output over the entire 9000 hour lifetime. Its success has led to a proliferation of nongenuine copies in the market.
The UV lamp is the heart of the disinfection system, and there should be no compromise
when it's time for a replacement.
Why should you insist on genuine factory supplied VIQUA replacement lamps?
• Use of widely available, non-genuine, replacement lamps has been shown to
damage the control module of VIQUA UV disinfection equipment.
• An increasing number of calls to VIQUA Technical Support are connected with nongenuine lamps being used (unknowingly) as replacements.
• Damage arising from the use of non-genuine lamps poses a safety risk and is not
covered by equipment warranty.
• Unless the UV equipment is equipped with a UV sensor (monitor), it is not possible to
verify the UV (invisible) output of replacement lamps.
• Similar appearance to the original lamp and the presence of (visible) blue light does
not mean equivalent disinfection performance.
• VIQUA replacement lamps undergo rigorous performance testing and strict quality
control processes to ensure that the safety and performance certifications of the
original equipment are not compromised.
So, you can see that it's simply not worth the risk! Insist on genuine VIQUA replacement
lamps.

• During extended periods of no water flow, the water in your chamber can become very hot (Approx. 60 °C) and potentially lead to scalding. It is
recommended to run your water until this hot water has been purged from your chamber. Do not allow water to contact your skin during this time.
To eliminate this condition, a temperature management valve can be installed at the outlet of your UV system.
• This system contains a UV Lamp. Do not operate the UV Lamp when it is removed from the chamber. Unintended use or damage of the system
may result in the exposure of dangerous UV radiation. UV radiation may, even in little doses, cause harm to the eyes and skin.
• Changes or modifications made to this system without the consent of the manufacturer could render the system unsafe for operation and may void
the manufacturer's warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.
• Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet such as, the
controller or lamp connector.
• Due to thermal expansion concerns and potential material degradation due to UV exposure, it is recommended to use metal fittings and at least 10"
of copper pipe on the outlet of your UV chamber.
• 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.
• The UV lamp inside the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately 9000 hours. To ensure continuous protection, replace the
UV lamp annually.

NOTICE
1.3 Water Chemistry
Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are
recommended for installation:
Water Quality and Minerals Level
Iron < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Hardness* < 7 gpg (120 mg/L)
Turbidity < 1 NTU
Manganese < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Tannins < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UV Transmittance > 75% (call factory for recommendations on applications where UVT < 75%)
* Where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate efficiently provided the quartz sleeve is cleaned
periodically . If total hardness exceeds 7 gpg, the water should be softened. If your water chemistry contains levels in excess
of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is recommended to correct th ese water problems prior to the in sta llation of
your UV disinfection system. These water quality parameters can be tested by your local dealer, or by most private
analytical laboratories. Proper pre-treatment is essential for the UV disinfection system to operate as intended.

Section 3 Installation
3.1 UV Disinfection System
Electronic controller must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle. Ensure the green ground wire ring terminal is securely
fastened to chamber ground stud.
The disinfection system is designed to be installed at point-of-entry. Drip loops in all cordage connected to the controller is
highly recommended. Refer to Figure 3.
• The complete water system, including any pressure or hot water tanks, must be sterilized before start up by flushing
with chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any residual contamination. Refer to Section 3.2.
• For safety purposes, the disinfection system must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI).
• The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only, do not install disinfection system where it may be exposed to
the weather.
• Install the disinfection system on cold water line only.
• If treating the entire house, install the disinfection system before any branch lines.
CAUTION
Procedure:
1. Figure 2 shows the installation of a typical drinking water system and the related components that may be used for the
installation. The use of a bypass assembly is recommended in case the system requires “off-line” maintenance. If this is
the case, it must be noted that the system will require supplementary disinfection of the distribution system if any water
is used during this bypass condition. In addition, during bypass, the water will NOT be disinfected and a “DO NOT
CONSUME THE WATER” tag should be physically installed on the bypass assembly until such time as the system is
sanitized and returned to service. Please refer to Section 3.2 for the complete dis inf ection procedure. If the water is to
be consumed while the
system is off-line, the water must be boiled for two minutes prior to consumption.
