SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

WARNING - to guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2. CAUTION - Disconnect power before servicing.
3. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present near electrical
equipment. Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the provided maintenance and
troubleshooting sections, do not attempt repairs yourself, refer to an authorized service facility.
4. Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.
5. Do not operate the disinfection system if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
6. Always disconnect water flow and unplug the disinfection system before performing cleaning or maintenance
activities. Never yank the cord to remove from an outlet; grasp the wall plug and pull to disconnect.
7. Do not use this disinfection system for other than intended use (potable water applications). The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer / distributor may cause an unsafe condition.
8. Intended for indoor use only. Do not install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not
store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing unless all water has been
drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.
9. Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the water disinfection system.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less Amperes or
Watts than the disinfection system rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will
not be tripped over or pulled.
11. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Warning: The UV light given off by this unit can cause serious burns to unprotected eyes and skin. Never look
directly at an illuminated UV lamp. When performing any work on the UV disinfection system always unplug the unit
first. Never operate the UV system while the UV lamp is outside of the UV chamber.
Note: The UV lamp inside of the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately 9000
hours. To ensure continuous protection, replace the UV lamp annually.

 WATER CHEMISTRY:
Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are
recommended for installation:
• Iron: < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
• Hardness*: < 7 gpg (120 mg/L)
• Turbidity: < 1 NTU
• Manganese: < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
• Tannins: < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
• UV Transmittance: > 75% (call factory for
recommendations on applications where UVT < 75%)
* Where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate efficiently provided the quartz sleeve is
cleaned periodically. If total hardness is over 7 gpg, the water should be softened.

If your water chemistry contains levels in excess of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is recommended to
correct these water problems prior to the installation of your UV disinfection system. These water quality parameters can
be tested by your local dealer, or by most private analytical laboratories. Proper pre-treatment is essential for the UV
disinfection system to operate as intended.

INSTALLING YOUR DISINFECTION SYSTEM:

• The complete water system, including any pressure or hot water tanks, must be sterilized before start up by flushing
with chlorine (household bleach) to destroy any residual contamination.
• The disinfection system should be connected to a ground fault interrupter.
• The disinfection system is intended for indoor use only, do not install disinfection system where it may be exposed to
the weather.
• Install the disinfection system on cold water line only.
• If treating the entire house, install the disinfection system before any branch lines. Ideally, your disinfection system
should be the last treatment your water receives prior to use.
• A 5 micron sediment filter must precede the disinfection system.

1. Remove the disinfection system from the shipping carton. For shipping purposes, the UV lamp is packed in a
separate tube. Set the lamp aside for use later. The disinfection system should be mounted in the horizontal
position, with the inlet/outlet ports facing up. If the system must be installed in the vertical position, make sure
the inlet port is the one at the bottom of the system. Mount the unit in a clear space with at least 36” (91.5 cm)
of space at the lamp end to facilitate lamp and or quartz sleeve removal. Fasten the disinfection system to a
suitable mounting platform with reinforcements.

2. It is recommended to install a suitable flow restrictor in order that the flow rate not exceed the manufacturers
recommended flow rating. The use of a by-pass with shut-off valves is recommended for emergency use of
untreated water when your disinfection system is being serviced. Apply two turns of Teflon tape around the port
threads to ensure a tight joint before connecting unions.
Note: When the UV unit has been by-passed for service, the complete water system must be sterilized once
again with chlorine to destroy any contamination that may have passed during by-pass.
DO NOT SOLDER CONNECTIONS WHILE ATTACHED TO THE DISINFECTION SYSTEM AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE
O-RING SEALS.

3. When all plumbing connections are made, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. The most likely
cause for leaks is from the o-ring seal. In case of a leak, shut water off, drain cell, remove the retainer nut, wipe
the o-ring and threads clean and re-install.

4. Once it is determined that there are no leaks, very carefully slide the UV lamp into the UV chamber making sure
the lamp pins are accessible for connection with the lamp connector cable. Attach the lamp connector to the UV
lamp, as outlined in “UV Lamp Replacement” on page 3. Plug the disinfection system into the ground fault
interrupter, and check to see if the UV lamp is illuminated. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING UV
LAMP. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to clear any air or dust that may be in the cell.

Note: When there is no flow, the water in the cell will become warm, as the UV disinfection system lamp is always
on. To remedy this, run a cold water tap anywhere in the house for a minute to flush out the warm water.
Note: As the system requires time to reach its full operating capacity, please allow the disinfection system to operate
3 - 5 minutes prior to using the water from the unit. In addition, to clear any air or debris from the system, open
the faucet and allow water to run through the disinfection system for 2 - 3 minutes.

OPERATING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Always disconnect power before performing any work on the ultraviolet disinfection system.
• Regularly inspect your disinfection system unit to ensure that the UV light is still glowing and that its LED indicator
is still glowing green.
• Replace the UV lamp annually ( or biennially if seasonal cottage use) to ensure a high bacteria and virus kill
rate.
• Always drain the UV cell when closing a cottage or leaving the unit in an area subject to freezing
temperatures.

A. UV LAMP REPLACEMENT:
To replace the lamp, there is NO need to disconnect the system from the water supply, nor to drain the water from
the reactor chamber. Lamp replacement is a quick and simple procedure requiring no special tools. The UV lamp must
be replaced after 9,000 hours of continuous operation (approximately one year) in order to ensure adequate
disinfection.

S12Q, S12Q-GOLD, S24Q, and S24Q-GOLD

1. Disconnect main power source and allow the unit to power down. Remove the lamp connector by sliding the
metal retaining ring away from the body of the connector. Remove connector and lamp from the reactor chamber.
Separate the lamp from the connector. Do not twist the lamp from the connector, simply slide the two apart.
Avoid touching the lamp on the glass portion. Handling the lamp at the ceramic ends is acceptable, however if
you must touch the lamp glass, please use gloves, or a soft cloth. Fully remove the lamp from the reactor chamber
being careful not to angle the lamp as it is removed from the chamber. If the lamp is removed on an angle,
pressure will be applied on the inside of the quartz sleeve, causing the sleeve to fracture.
2. To install a new lamp, first remove the lamp from its protective packaging, again being careful not to touch the
lamp glass itself. Carefully insert the lamp into the reactor vessel (actually inside the quartz sleeve). Insert the lamp
fully into the chamber leaving about two inches of the lamp protruding from the chamber. Next, attach the
connector to the UV lamp. The connector is “keyed” and will only allow correct installation in one position. Ensure
the connector is fully seated onto the UV lamp.
3. Once the lamp is fully seated on the connector, slide the connector over the aluminum retaining nut. Make sure
the metal retaining ring on the connector is pulled away from the body of the connector in order that the
connector may slide fully over the retaining nut. Once the connector is located fully over the retaining nut, slide
the metal ring back in to lock the connector in place. As this connector is keyed to the reactor chamber, make sure
the depression on the connector is located over the ground lug located on the reactor chamber.

S40Q

1. Disconnect main power source. Remove lamp connector from gland nut (with the aid of a slot screwdriver) and
carefully slide UV lamp slightly out of chamber. Remove lamp connector from lamp and fully remove lamp (be
extremely careful when handling UV lamp as they are extremely fragile).
2. To install the new lamp, carefully remove from protective tube being careful not to touch the lamp “glass” with
your hands. Slide UV lamp into the reactor chamber. Affix lamp connector to the UV lamp, slide lamp fully into
cell, press fit lamp connector into aluminum gland nut (a light application of silicone lubricant will assist this
operation).

B. QUARTZ SLEEVE REPLACEMENT AND/OR CLEANING:

If the water contains any hardness minerals (calcium or magnesium), iron or manganese, the quartz sleeve will require
periodic cleaning. To remove the quartz sleeve, first remove the UV lamp as outlined above:
a) Shut off water supply and drain all lines.
b) Drain the UV chamber (use a small bucket under the unit to prevent a spill), using drain port provided.
c) Remove aluminum gland nuts from chamber, checking for the free floating spring inside sleeve at the
opposite end to the lamp connection (do not allow quartz sleeve to fall).
d) Carefully remove o-rings from the quartz sleeve. As the o-ring may tend to adhere to the quartz sleeve, it is
recommended to replace the o-rings annually.
e) Clean the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR, vinegar or some other mild acid and then rinse,
avoiding the introduction of any water to the inside of the sleeve.

3
 f) Re-assemble the quartz sleeve with spring in the UV chamber allowing the sleeve to protrude an equal
distance from both ends of the UV chamber.
g) Wet the o-rings and slide onto each end of the quartz sleeve and reassemble the gland nuts (hand tight is
sufficient).
h) Re-tighten all connections, turn on water and check for leaks.
I) Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior instructions.
j) Reconnect system to power source.
Note: If the system is put on a temporary by-pass or if it becomes contaminated after the disinfection system, it
will be necessary to shock the system with household bleach for a full 20 minutes before resuming use of the
water.

C. UV SENSOR REPLACEMENT AND/OR CLEANING (Applies to S12Q-GOLD & S24Q-GOLD systems only):

1. Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the sensor probe decreasing the UV detection rate. Good
maintenance of filtration equipment will reduce the accumulation of residues. If necessary, remove the sensor
probe after a few months and proceed with cleaning process. Repeat the process as often as necessary to keep the
sensor probe clean.
2. Disconnect the UV sensor from the rear of the disinfection system and drain the reactor chamber as per prior
instructions. Remove the sensor probe by unscrewing retaining nut. Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor
probe itself. Any tampering with the internal components of the sensor probe will result in voiding the warranty.
The probe face should be cleaned with a commercially available scale remover (CLR, Lime-Away, etc.) and a lint
free cloth. Carefully reassemble the sensor probe into the sensor boss by first inserting the sensor o-ring and then
the sensor itself. Screw the sensor retaining nut and tighten to achieve a water tight seal. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN. Attach the sensor cable to the connector on the rear of the UV disinfection system.

WARNING SYSTEMS:
LAMP FAILURE SYSTEM (Standard on S12Q, S24Q, S40Q)
The audible alarm and indicator lights on the systems continuously monitor the lamp operation. If the lamp does not
start at any time, the indicator light will not glow and the audible alarm will sound. This alarm indicates that the UV
lamp is no longer operating and must be corrected. Please refer to Troubleshooting Guide for corrective procedures.

ULTRAVIOLET MONITORING SYSTEM (Standard on GOLD models)

The ultraviolet sensor system features a complete warning system for continuous water protection by constantly sensing
the UV INTENSITY at the inside surface of the cell. The system features a single LED indicator light, which will show
three distinct colours, GREEN, YELLOW, and RED. When the UV output level changes, the warning system will operate
in the following manner:
GREEN indicates that the UV intensity is satisfactory and the unit is in good working order.
YELLOW indicates that the UV intensity is reduced, which could be due to any of the following factors :
• The lamp is losing strength and will soon need to be replaced.
• The quartz sleeve and/or the sensor probe have become dirty. Mineral deposits or sediment in the
water that was not detected during the original water analysis may be the cause for this. The quartz
sleeve and sensor probe should be cleaned and the system re-installed to determine if dirt was the
cause of the yellow light. If the LED light switches to yellow soon after the unit is installed or the
lamp has been replaced, dirt accumulation is most likely the cause.
• Intermittent voltage drop in the household power supply reducing the lamp output. The lamp will
return to normal when the power is restored to full voltage. Note : The monitoring system will not
operate during power failures.
FLASHING RED indicates that system cut-off is imminent where solenoid is fitted. Immediate action is required.
RED indicates that the unit needs immediate attention, the audible alarm will automatically sound when the LED
monitor light switches to red. If the lamp has been in service for a year or more it should be replaced. The quartz
sleeve and/or sensor probe may require cleaning. The alarm will continue until the sensor detects adequate UV
intensity. When a lamp is replaced it is recommended to clean the quartz sleeve and sensor probe prior to returning
the system to service.

SOLENOID CONTACTS (Standard on S12Q-GOLD & S24Q-GOLD models)

GOLD units come equipped with the capability of adding an optional solenoid valve available from your dealer. This
normally closed solenoid will work in conjunction with the UV monitoring system physically stopping the water flow if
the UV sensor determines that the water is not being adequately treated. The LED indicator will be red and the audible
alarm will be sounding. Water will only be allowed to flow when the UV disinfection system senses that the quality of
the water has returned to a safe state. Ideally, the solenoid valve should be installed on the influent side of the
disinfection system. To install, disconnect power supply prior to opening disinfection system cover. Plumb solenoid valve
4
into existing plumbing (1” for 12 & 24 gpm models). Install “normally-closed” solenoid valve within three (3) feet of
disinfection system. Remove the screws on the left and right side of the front aluminum panel allowing this panel to
swing open. Remove the circuit board cover plate to expose the circuit board. Remove the round, black plastic cap
covering the access hole for the solenoid wire (cap located on back panel next to main power cord). Slide the solenoid
power cord (part# CS-MOL) through the hole and affix the connector to the exposed contacts on the circuit board
marked “SOLENOID”. The connector will only slide onto the mating pins in one direction. Attach the ground wire
(green or green/yellow) to the ground lug on the disinfection system to finish the wiring connections.

To complete the installation, push the strain relief into the hole on the backside of the unit. The strain relief allows for
the wire to run through its centre and can easily be installed using pliers. Once all the parts are connected, reattach the
circuit board cover plate and secure the front panel of the disinfection system. Plug the disinfection system into the
electrical outlet to return it to service. Please remember that the unit must have power in order to allow any water to
pass through the unit. If an outside tap is required at all times, including when there may be no power, plumb that line
prior to the solenoid and remember that this line will not be protected from microbiological contaminants. The solenoid
valve will only open when the UV sensor detects adequate UV intensity within the reactor chamber.
Note: If a normally closed solenoid valve is purchased from another source, the use of the manufacturers solenoid cord
is strongly recommended as it comes with the necessary connectors to mate with the circuit board. This cord can be
purchased from a dealer under the part number CS-MOL.

INFRARED OUTPUT - REMOTE ALARM (Standard on S12Q-GOLD & S24Q-GOLD models)

The electronics incorporated in the monitored units incorporate a micro controller, which operates an infrared (IR)
output. This IR output can be used for diagnostic purposes as well as acting as an interface for an optional remote
audible/visual alarm package available from your dealer. This IR-ALARM comes with the IR interface and 15.24 meters
(50’) of cable for remote monitoring of the audible and visual signals provided by the UV monitoring mechanism.

THIS ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEM HAS BEEN INSTALLED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE
OPTIMUM PRECAUTIONS TO ENSURE HIGH EFFICIENCY IN THE PROTECTION AGAINST
MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION IN YOUR WATER. DO NOT DISREGARD THE
WARNING LIGHTS.

THE BEST WAY TO CHECK UV OPERATION IS TO HAVE THE WATER TESTED FOR
BACTERIA BY A RECOGNIZED TESTING AGENCY ON A REGULAR BASIS.
