Owner’s Manual PUV-Basic PUV-8 PUV-16 (NSF Standard 55 Class B Certified) Congratulations. By purchasing this system, you have taken the first step in ensuring safe drinking water. Designed using the most advanced UV technology available today, your UV system is designed to provide you with years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance required. KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW: • • • • A 5-micron (nominal) sediment filter must be installed upstream of (before) any UV system.
Potential Hazard Safety Measures UV Exposure Never illuminate UV Lamp outside of the UV Chamber. Never look directly at illuminated UV Lamp, even when using protective gear. Always use protective gear, including gloves and UV safety glasses. If accidental exposure occurs, immediately cool affected area and consult physician. Electrical Shock Disconnect power to system before performing any maintenance or repair. There may be more than one source of power.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

OVERVIEW 1 Sample valve: Allows for sampling of raw water. 2 Shut-off valve: Required to allow maintenance of pre-treatment equipment. 3 Pre-treatment (illustrative only): For the UV system to operate effectively, the water should meet certain water quality parameters, as outlined below. To meet these, pre-treatment of the water may be required. Pretreatment equipment must be installed BEFORE the UV chamber.
6 Slide power supply onto mounting bracket. 2 Screw chamber clamp(s) to the wall (#10 screws recommended.) 7 Slide Reference card behind power supply. 3 Insert chamber and tighten clamp(s). 8 4 Make all necessary plumbing connections referring to Dimensions and Layout drawing. 9 OPERATION Determine appropriate indoor location of the power supply and chamber, referring to Dimensions and Layout drawing. Power supply should be installed higher than chamber away from all water sources.
OVERVIEW Attach ground (green/yellow) and strain relief (red) wires from the lamp plug to the ground lug on the chamber. Secure both wires with locking screw provided. INSTALLATION 11 14 15 Outlet must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Let water flow to one faucet or other water outlet, then close the outlet and check for leaks. Proceed to Disinfecting The Water Lines. Locking screw OPERATION 12 MAINTENANCE 13 Ground lug Push safety cap into place.
OVERVIEW DISINFECTING THE WATER LINES UV systems disinfect the water using ultraviolet light, treating the water as it passes through the system. When there is a risk that water downstream of the UV system has been contaminated, it is critical that these water lines be chemically disinfected.
OVERVIEW INSTALLATION 8 Allow water to fill UV chamber. 9 12 Go to a water outlet and allow the cold water to flow until you can smell bleach, then stop the flow. Allow hot water (if present) to flow until you can smell bleach, then stop the flow. Repeat procedure at all water outlets. Remember to include all faucets, washing machines, toilets, outside taps, and other water outlets.
20 Flush all water outlets until bleach can no longer be smelled (at least 5 minutes).
OVERVIEW CONTROL PANEL 2 A 3 B C INSTALLATION 1 Buttons and Display OPERATION For all models. A Lamp timer display Counts down from 365 days to show time for annual lamp replacement. B Lamp timer reset After installing a new lamp, press and hold for five seconds to reset Lamp timer to 365. C Mute Press to silence audible alarm. When the alarm is due to the lamp's age, the mute button will silence the audible alarm for 7 days; this may be repeated up to a maximum of 4 times.
OVERVIEW TROUBLESHOOTING The table below is a list of possible causes and solutions.
OVERVIEW SLEEVE CLEANING & LAMP REPLACEMENT Sleeve cleaning Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing purification performance. Basic models: please clean the sleeve regularly (3-4 times per year, or more often depending on water quality). INSTALLATION When only cleaning is required, follow instructions and re-install the current lamp.
OVERVIEW 6 1 2 1 Open a tap downstream of the UV unit to release pressure. Then, close this tap. 3 Strain relief wires should remain connected. 8 Hold by sleeve bolt to remove lamp/sleeve assembly. 9 2 OPERATION 4 7 INSTALLATION 2 Squeeze tabs 1 For sleeve cleaning only: MAINTENANCE 5 Let the system cool for 10 minutes. Skip to step 14. Note: Sleeve must be replaced if it cannot be completely cleaned or if it appears scratched or cracked.
OVERVIEW 10 13 Screw lamp into sleeve hand-tight. Caution: Over tightening will break the sleeve. 2 1 2 INSTALLATION Lamp tab 1 Sleeve bolt OPERATION 11 14 Make sure lamp/sleeve assembly is centered. Caution: Over tightening will break the sleeve. 1 2 Remove o-rings and sleeve bolt from sleeve. 15 MAINTENANCE 12 WARRANTY Reinstall sleeve bolt with 2 new o-rings. 18 Align connections by rotating ring clamp (if equipped) to push lamp plug onto end of lamp.
Push safety cap into place. If lamp was replaced and you have a PUV-8 and PUV-16 model: Press and hold Lamp timer reset button for 5 seconds. Display should read 365. 22 Disinfect the water lines.
