These are recommended levels, for use as a guideline for pre-treatment requirements.

Iron: < .3 PPM (.3 mg/L)

Hardness: < 120 PPM (7 Grains per Gallon)

% UVT: > 75%

Total Suspended Solids (TSS): < 5 PPM (5 mg/L)

To meet the water quality parameters described above, you may need to pre-treat your water
to ensure appropriate disinfection. Pre-treatment systems can be comprised of one or a
combination of the following elements:

Sediment Filter (5 micron)

Carbon Filter

Iron Removal System

Water Softener

Cyst reduction filter (ANSI/NSF Standard 53 listed)

Pre treatment equipment must be installed BEFORE the UV reactor. Note: Shut off valves
should be installed before and after the UV unit.
