System Disinfection
With a new installation, or any time the UV system is shut down for service, without
power, or is inoperative for any other reason, the lines in the home or facility could be
contaminated. Use the following steps to fully disinfect the lines throughout the entire
home or facility.
Step 1: Checkforandremoveany“deadends”inthelinesthroughoutthehomeas
these can harbor bacteria. Plug in the UV system and wait until it is ready for
operation.
Step 2: Removetheltercartridgefromthelastsumpandllitwith1-2cupsof
household bleach (most are 5.25% chlorine). Replace the sump and slowly turn
on the water supply.
Step 3: At a water outlet, run the water until bleach can be smelled. Repeat this for
all faucets, toilets, shower heads, refrigerators, outdoor taps, the washing
machine,dishwasher,etc.atthehomeorfacility.Oncenished,waita
minimum of 30 minutes before continuing.
Step 4: Reinstalltheltercartridgeintothesumpandushthechlorinesolutionby
opening all faucets until chlorine can no longer be detected. Your home has
now been completely dis-infected with your Microlene UV system ready to
inactivate any microorganisms that enter the home.
Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve
Depending on the water quality, the quartz sleeve may require periodic cleaning. At
a minimum, the quartz sleeve should be cleaned on an annual basis. The following
steps outline a basic clean-ing procedure.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve off to prevent water
owthroughthesystem.Otherwise,turnoffmainwaterinletvalve(and/or
turn off the water pump).
Step 2: Disconnect power cord of UV system from electrical outlet.
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and then close
the outlet shut-off valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-off valve, expect
water to drain from the system as the head pressure in the system will
causethewatertoowbackdown.
Step 4: Remove the captive ground screw from the ground lug on the UV reactor.
Step 5: Remove the lamp connector from the reactor (gland nut) by pushing the
LUMI-loc connector in and turning it ¼ turn counter-clockwise. Disconnect
the lamp connector from the lamp. CAUTION: the lamp may be hot!
Step 6: Being careful to touch only the ceramic ends, remove the lamp out of the reactor.
Step 7: Unscrew the gland nut from the reactor exposing the end of the quartz
sleeve.
Step 8: Remove the quartz sleeve and o-ring by gently twisting and pulling the
quartz sleeve.
Step 9: Using a soft, lint-free cloth or towel wipe the sleeve down using a
commercial scale cleaner (i.e. CLR
®
or LIME-A-WAY
®
). This removes
scaling or iron deposits that may be on the outside of the quartz sleeve. Be
careful not to get any moisture or liquids inside of the sleeve.
Step 10: Dry the sleeve with separate cloth.
