In-House Water Distribution System Disinfection; Operation & Maintenance - PUR PUV15S El Manual Del Propietario

In-House Water Distribution System Disinfection:

The following procedure is recommended for installations of the UV disinfection system in a whole house treatment application.
For systems installed on a municipally treated water system, plumbing system disinfection is at the discretion of the user.
To disinfect the distribution system, carry out the following steps. Ensure that the UV system remains on during the entire process.
1. Familiarize yourself with the various shut-off valves on your system.
It is important to understand which combinations of valve positions
allow you to isolate the UV system.
2. Shut off the main water supply, ahead of any filter housing, and
depressurize the household water lines.
NOTE: Individual plumbing set-up may vary, so images are
included as a visual reference only.
3. Close the valves necessary to isolate the UV Prefilters (Figure 10).
Remove the filter cartridge closest to the UV (Figure 11). Fill
the sump with 1-2 cups of household chlorine bleach (5.25%)
(Figure 12).
4. Re-install the sump (without filter) and slowly re-pressurize the
system (Figure 13). Open each faucet and allow cold water to run
until you can smell chlorine in the water. Shut off the faucet and
repeat with all other household faucets including hot water.
Be sure to include all exterior faucets, shower heads, and
dishwasher/washing machine lines within this process.
5. Allow the solution to remain in the lines for 30 minutes minimum
(Figure 14).
6. Re-install the pre-filter cartridge, and flush each individual water
line as above until no chlorine odor is detected (Figure 15).
It is critical to ensure that the water distribution system is fully
flushed of all residual chlorine prior to use. EXTREME CAUTION
SHOULD BE EXERCISED as the level of chlorine in the system is
approximately 25-50 times greater than that observed in municipally
treated water. This is required for the disinfection of the household
lines. It is extremely important that proper flushing procedures be
followed from all taps prior to use.
NOTE: The introduction of a chlorine disinfection solution
to a hot water heater that has been used with untreated
hard water or water with excessive iron, manganese or other organic contaminants may lead to oxidization of
these materials. If you feel that these conditions may apply to your installation, a thorough flushing of the hot
water tank should be done to eliminate the oxidized material from entering the distribution lines.
Operation & Maintenance:
The UV system should remain turned on continuously to ensure protection of your water system. During normal operation of the
system, the green Controller power LED light will be illuminated and the display will indicate the number of days remaining until
lamp replacement is required. During periods of non-use, it is normal for the temperature of the water in the stainless steel
chamber to rise. Simply flushing the water line will alleviate this condition. During humid conditions, sweating or small water
droplets may be noticed on the surface of the UV reaction chamber. The formation of condensation during high humidity
conditions is normal. Do not allow condensation to drip onto the Controller. The following instructions have been provided to
assist with general maintenance of the system; UV lamp replacement and quartz sleeve cleaning/replacement. All other system
repairs should be completed by a licensed plumber/service technician.
WARNING: Never attempt to service the UV system unless you are an accredited service technician, as the
performance of the system could be adversely affected.
