Vibration of ultraviolet equipment will damage lamps and lead to premature system failure. Choose a location for the UV unit that is isolated from vibration. Potential vibration sources include heavy equipment, poorly connected pipes, and erratic or improper pumps. |
Install the unit as close as possible to the point-of-use. |
The unit is designed to be installed vertically or horizontally with a clearance at one end at least equal to the overall length of the chamber plus 4 inches for removal of the quartz sleeve. |
Operating pressure should not exceed 125 psi. A water hammer may cause o-ring failure. If the UV system is subject to water hammer conditions, it is recommended that a water surge suppressor be installed. |
Inlet water temperature should not exceed 100ºF.
Ambient temperatures in the area surrounding the UV unit should be between 25 and 90ºF. |
Be sure transmission of water meets acceptable standards. |
