DISINFECTION PROCEDURE

CAUTION: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND SANITARY

RUBBER GLOVES WHILE PERFORMING

THIS PROCEDURE.

CAUTION: EXCESSIVE CONCENTRATIONS OF

BLEACH WILL DAMAGE PLASTIC AND

RUBBER COMPONENTS. Rinse all parts

that contact bleach thoroughly with clean

potable water.

CAUTION: Read the “WARNINGS” on the bleach

container before using.

CAUTION: Handle sanitizing solution carefully.

Avoid contact with unprotected areas.

1. Disconnect system from electrical outlet.

2. Mix sanitizing solution:

a. Mix 237 ml (1 cup) of household bleach

and 237 ml (1 cup) of clean, potable water

in a bucket. Mix the solution well.

CAUTION: Use care when sanitizing UV head. Do not

get the UV control module or connectors

wet.

CAUTION: TIGHTEN SUMPS BY HAND ONLY. Do not

use tools as they will over-tighten and

may damage sump. Take care not to cut

or pinch “O” rings or gaskets. Use sump

wrench for removal only.

3. Add sanitizing solution into system:

a. Add 473 ml (2 cups) of sanitizing solution

to the sump that contains the UV lamp.

4. Slowly open the feed water supply valve.

5. Open all downstream faucets. Keep faucets

open until a chlorine smell is detected at

each faucet, then close faucets.

NOTE: Water lines downstream from UV housing

must be disinfected to destroy any bacteria

that might remain in the pipes.

6. Verify disinfection solution has reached every

water outlet downstream of UV system.

Solution must remain in the system for at

least four hours.

7. Open outlet valve and let water ow for 5

the water lines.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FILTER

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

1. Perform Cleaning Procedure (Page 10, steps

1-11).

NOTE: Do not remove protective plastic bag from

lters. Open bottom of bag only enough to

expose bottom of lter.

NOTE: Refer to Exploded Schematic to ensure each

lter is installed in the correct position.

2. Install the lters into the appropriate sump.

Hold lter by its protective plastic bag and

insert the lter into the sump.

CAUTION: TIGHTEN SUMPS BY HAND ONLY. Do not

use tools as they will over-tighten and

may damage sump. Take care not to cut

or pinch “O” rings or gaskets. Use sump

wrench for removal only.

3. Slide bag from lter and discard. Replace

each sump as each lter is installed.

4. Plug system into electrical outlet. Turn on

water supply and check for leaks. Flush

system for several minutes to remove carbon

nes.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UV LAMP

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

NOTE: Refer to the system assembly and activation

procedures to identify specic components

matching the descriptions shown in this

procedure.

1. Disconnect system from electrical outlet.

2. Shut feed water supply valve and open

downstream faucet to relieve system

pressure.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove sumps until

water ow stops. This reduces pressure

inside the system so sumps may be safely

removed.

CAUTION: Use care when sanitizing UV head. Do not

get the UV control module or connectors

wet.

3. Remove sump from UV head and set aside.

CAUTION: Do not touch Quartz Sleeve or UV lamp

with bare hands. Fingerprints will reduce

the eectiveness of the light.

WARNING: Do not attempt to remove Quartz Sleeve.

Damage to system and personal injury

may occur if the sleeve is removed

incorrectly. Contact Mercola.com if

Quartz Sleeve is broken or needs

replacement.

4. Clean Quartz Sleeve carefully using vinegar

to remove hardness. Do not use abrasive

materials. Rinse sleeve thoroughly with clean

potable water. Replace any sleeve that is

damaged or that will not come completely

clean.

5. Gain access to UV lamp:

a. Remove UV Control Module (Item 10)

from Mounting Bracket (Item 6) by

removing four screws (Item 11).

6. Remove UV lamp from system being careful

not to break UV lamp or dislodge Quartz

Sleeve:

a. Remove UV control module with UV lamp

by gently lifting control module straight

up from mounting bracket. Grasp UV

lamp rmly and remove lamp from the

four-pin socket.

NOTE: The inside of Quartz Sleeve must be

completely dry before installing the

replacement UV lamp.

NOTE: Hold replacement UV lamp by the ceramic

ends only. Do not touch the glass. Clean

glass with isopropyl alcohol if necessary.

7. Install the replacement UV lamp by reversing

steps 5 and 6 of this procedure.
