Congratulations on the purchase of your ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system! This system uses the most advanced UV technology on the market and is designed to provide you with years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance required to protect your drinking water from microbiological contaminants. To ensure ongoing disinfection of your water, UV lamps need to be replaced annually with VIQUA factory-supplied replacements.
Safety Information Section 1 Safety Information These are the original instructions. Please read this entire manual before operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger, warning, and caution statements in this manual. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. Make sure that the protection provided by this equipment is not impaired. DO NOT use or install this equipment in any manner other than that specified in the installation manual. 1.
Safety Information WA R N I N G • During extended periods of no water flow, the water in your chamber can become very hot (Approx. 60 °C) and potentially lead to scalding. It is recommended to run your water until this hot water has been purged from your chamber. Do not allow water to contact your skin during this time. To eliminate this condition, a temperature management valve can be installed at the outlet of your UV system.

Installation Section 3 Installation 3.1 UV Disinfection System CAUTION Electronic controller must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle. Ensure green ground wire ring terminal is securely fastened to ground stud on UV chamber. The disinfection system is designed to be mounted either horizontally or vertically at the point-of-use or point-of-entry depending on the specific flow rate of the unit.

Mount the VIQUA ICE controller horizontally to the wall, near the UV chamber. Ideally place the controller above the chamber and away from any water connection point, to prevent any water from potentially leaking onto the controller by means of a leak at a connection point or a “sweating” system.
Installation 3.2 Disinfection Procedure UV disinfection is a physical disinfection process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As UV does not provide a disinfection residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the plumbing system is free from any bacteriological contaminants.
Maintenance Section 4 Maintenance WA R N I N G • Always disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system. • Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. • Regularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present. • Replace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection.
Maintenance 4.2 Cleaning and Replacing Quartz Sleeve Note: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced. Prerequisites: • Shut off water supply and drain all lines. • Remove the UV lamp. Refer to Section 4.1. Procedure: 2 1 3 2 1 • Drain the chamber by using the drain port.
Operation Section 5 Operation WA R N I N G The advanced warning system has been installed to provide the optimum protection against microbiological contamination in water. DO NOT disregard the warning signals. The best way to ensure optimum UV performance is to have the water microbiologically tested by a recognized testing agency on a regular basis. 5.1 Basic Systems Incorporating BA-ICE-S Controller 5.1.
Troubleshooting 5.2 12VDC Systems Incorporating BA-RO/P/12 Controller Green LED indicates UV lamp “ON”. Section 6 Troubleshooting Symptom Pressure Drop Possible Causes Sediment pre-filter clogged Solutions Replace filter cartridge with appropriate 5 micron cartridge. Note: Check source water supply as fluctuations may occur in source pressure. Flow regulator Flow regulator will result in pressure drop when approaching full flow.
