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. • This system contains a UV Lamp.

Installation Section 3 Installation 3.1 UV Disinfection System CAUTION Electronic controller must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle. Ensure the green ground wire ring terminal is securely fastened to chamber ground stud. The disinfection system is designed to be installed at point-of-entry. Drip loops in all cordage connected to the controller is highly recommended. Refer to Figure 3.
Installation 18” Overall Length Min. 12” From Top to Unit 2. Select a suitable location for the disinfection system and its related components. As it is recommended to install a ground fault protected circuit (GFCI), make sure that this is taken into consideration prior to any installation. When selecting a mounting location, enough space must be left to allow for the removal of the UV lamp sleeve, as well as enough space to change out the filter cartridges. See Figure 3 for typical clearance dimensions.
Installation 4. Make sure you allow for a “drip-loop” on the power cord to prevent any water from potentially entering the controller. Refer to Figure 3. 5. Install the UV lamp. Refer to Section 4.1. 6. Install the cartridges. Refer to Section 4.3. 7. When all plumbing connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely cause for leaks is from o-ring seals.
Installation 9 11 10 1 1 2 • With all faucets closed, remove sump housing using sump wrench. 2 • Reinstall the cartridge into sump housing and connect to the unit. • Flush all water outlets until bleach can no longer be smelled (at least 5 minutes). • Press the pressure button to purge air and to complete the disinfection procedure.
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 lamp 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: 1 3 2 1 • Remove the bottom retaining nut, floating spring, and Oring.
Maintenance 4.3 Replacing Cartridges It is recommended to change the filter cartridge every six months (or earlier). Please note that a drop in pressure may indicate that the filter cartridge requires replacement. Note: Prior to performing any work on the drinking water system, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE CONTROLLER FIRST. As a small amount of water may leak from the cartridges during this procedure, please place a small bucket under the system to catch any water. Procedure: 1.
Maintenance 4. Discard the used cartridge and clean the sump housing as required. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the sump with water to remove any cleaning agents.Before installing a new cartridge, please ensure that the o-ring seals are properly seated on the shoulders at the top of the sump (Refer to Figure 7), if there is any visible damage on the o-rings please replace them (P/N: OR40-50). Figure 7 O-ring on Sump 5. Ensure o-rings are liberally coated with a silicone based lubricant. 6.
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-CL Controllers Figure 8 BA-ICE-CL Controllers 5.1.
Troubleshooting Section 6 Symptom Pressure Drop Troubleshooting Possible Causes Sediment pre-filter clogged Solutions Replace filter cartridge and refer to Section 2. Note: Check source water supply as fluctuations may occur in source pressure. Quartz sleeve is stained or dirty Clean sleeve with scale cleaner and eliminate source of staining problem (ie. soften hard water, refer to Section 4.2.
