Uv Installation and Maintenance
WARNING -
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
These are recommended levels, for use as a guideline for pre-treatment require-
ments
Hardness: <120ppm
Turbidity: <1.0NTU
Iron: <0.3ppm
Manganese: <0.05ppm
Tannins: <0.1ppm
Chloride: <200ppm
If your water quality parameters do not meet these criteria, please contact the dis-
tributor for pretreatment recommendations.
Required:
1. Pre-treatment must include at least a 5 micron sediment filter installed prior to the
unit in order to ensure that particles capable of shielding pathogens are removed
from the water prior to entering the system.
2. The vessel is rated to 700Kpa. The unit must be installed with an Australian Stan-
dards Approved Pressure Limiting Valve.
3. A shut off valve must be installed prior to the unit in order to turn the water off for
servicing and to ensure the flow is restricted to the parameters of the unit.
4. Ensure adequate clearance at the lamp connection end of the unit in order to safely
remove the lamp from the chamber for servicing and lamp replacement. Space re-
quired is at least the length of the UV chamber.
EARTHING
Before operating this unit, it must be earthed by a licensed electrician
UV Installation Instructions
Depending on the water quality, it is advised to clean the unit at least every time
the lamp is changed.
Turn off the water supply and release the pressure by opening the faucet.
Disconnect the ballast from the power and allow the unit to cool down.
Once the unit is cool, remove the end cover from the UV chamber, disconnect the
wire from the lamp and remove the lamp.
Remove the UV unit form the brackets and disconnect the outlet Elbow. Tip the
unit and drain as much water as possible into a bucket.
Take the unit and unscrew the end cap that the lamp was removed from.
The UV chamber can be cleaned with a Bottle Brush. Make sure the unit is com-
pletely clean, including the in/outlet as any residue can decrease the effectiveness
of the UV light.
The Quartz sleeve can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth. Again, make sure the
sleeve is completely clean.
Once the Chamber and Quartz Sleeve are clean, wipe them, including inside the
Quartz Sleeve, with Methylated Spirits or Alcohol wipes to remove any smears.
Following the maintenance instructions, turn off the water supply and drain the
unit.
Open the faucet and close immediately when water comes out.
Turn on the power supply to the unit and open the faucet and allow the unit to
flush for 10 minutes.
TECHNICAL DATA
AquaPro UV systems are not designed to be turned on and off. Doing this will
shorten your lamp life.
Lamps should be changed every year. The lamp may still be working, but after 1
year, the power will not be guaranteed to kill bacteria.
The unit should be cleaned regularly. Hardness and other particles can build up on
the quartz sleeve and on the inside of the UV chamber.
