Step 10: Dry the sleeve with separate cloth.
Step 11: Replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the reactor following steps 7 and 8
from the installaon secon of the manual.
Cleaning the UV Sensor
Depending on the water quality, the UV sensor may require periodic cleaning. At a minimum,
the UV sensor should be cleaning 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 o to prevent water ow through
the system. Otherwise, turn o main water inlet valve (and/or turn o 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-o valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-o 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: Place something under the reactor to catch any water that may come out of the reac-
tor during the removal of the UV sensor.
Step 5: Unscrew (counterclockwise) sensor nut from the reactor and pull the sensor slowly out
of the sensor port.
Step 6: Holding the sensor in your hand wipe the at poron (sensor face) of the sensor with
isopropyl alcohol using a clean lint-free cloth.
Step 7: Replace sensor following step 9 from the installaon secon of the manual.
Operaon
BLACKCOMB systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driv-
er (ballast) and control features in one water-ght case. Four main controllers are available for
the BLACKCOMB systems (depending on your model). All four models feature a power factor
corrected, constant current lamp driver with a universal power input.
Please Note: While the LED or display screen is red and the buzzer is sounding the water from
the system should NOT be consumed. If any water does pass through the system during this
period, please follow the disinfecon procedure as outlined in this manual before the water
is consumed. For BLACKCOMB
4.1
and BLACKCOMB
5.1
systems, even though they have a visual
and audible warning built into the controller, a green LED or status screen does not necessarily
indicate that the water coming from this system is in fact potable (safe to drink). These systems
do not measure the level of disinfecon; they simply measure the “on-o” status of the lamp.
Please have your water checked for microbiological contaminants on a regular basis.
