WATER CHEMISTRY: Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are recommended for installation: • 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 quar

f) Re-assemble the quartz sleeve with spring in the UV chamber allowing the sleeve to protrude an equal distance from both ends of the UV chamber. g) Wet the o-rings and slide onto each end of the quartz sleeve and reassemble the gland nuts (hand tight is sufficient). h) Re-tighten all connections, turn on water and check for leaks. I) Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior instructions. j) Reconnect system to power source. Note: If the system is put on a temporary by-pass or

into existing plumbing (1” for 12 & 24 gpm models). Install “normally-closed” solenoid valve within three (3) feet of disinfection system. Remove the screws on the left and right side of the front aluminum panel allowing this panel to swing open. Remove the circuit board cover plate to expose the circuit board. Remove the round, black plastic cap covering the access hole for the solenoid wire (cap located on back panel next to main power cord). Slide the solenoid power cord (part# CS-MOL) thro
