2. Conexões de encanamento: Connect the water inlet and outlet to your existing plumbing using the 1/2 inch MPT (Male Pipe Thread) connections. Ensure all connections are watertight. A pre-filter is highly recommended to remove sediment that could shield microorganisms from UV light.
3. Instalar UV Lamp and Quartz Sleeve: Carefully insert the quartz sleeve into the chamber. Then, gently slide the UV lamp into the quartz sleeve. Connect the lamp to the electronic ballast.
4. Conexão elétrica: Connect the electronic ballast to a grounded 110V electrical outlet. The system is designed for 110V operation.
5. Verificação de vazamento: Slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks at the plumbing connections. Address any leaks before proceeding.

5. Instruções de operação

Once installed and leak-checked, the system is ready for operation.

• Ligar: Plug the electronic ballast into the 110V power outlet. The ballast will emit a visual indicator (e.g., a green light) and may produce an audible beep to confirm operation.
• Status do sistema: The electronic ballast includes an audible and visual alarm system. A steady green light typically indicates normal operation. An alarm (audible beep and/or red light) signifies a lamp failure or other system malfunction. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for alarm interpretation.
• Operação contínua: For continuous disinfection, the system should remain powered on at all times.

6. Manutenção

Regular maintenance ensures the continued effectiveness of your UV disinfection system.

• UV-Lamp Substituição: O UV lamp has an effective life of approximately 9,000 hours (approximately 12 months of continuous operation). Replace the lamp annually to ensure optimal disinfection performance, even if the lamp appears to be working. Disconnect power before replacing.
• Limpeza de manga de quartzo: Periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months, or as water quality dictates), the quartz sleeve may need cleaning to remove mineral deposits or fouling that can reduce UV light transmission. Disconnect power, drain the chamber, and carefully remove and clean the sleeve with a soft cloth and a mild acid solution (e.g., vinegar) if necessary. Rinse thoroughly before reinstallation.
• Pre-filter Maintenance: If a pre-filter is installed, follow its manufacturer's recommendations for replacement or cleaning to prevent sediment buildup in the UV chamber.
