InStallatIon InStructIonS: optIonal bypaSS lIne and draIn valve:
To prevent contamination of water in the plumbing, which may pose a health hazard, do not
use the bypass line and valve if your source of supply is untreated surface water or groundwater.
If your source of supply is treated municipal water, use of the bypass line and valve will permit
uninterrupted treated water service in the event of a system malfunction. Always test the bypass
valve following each use of the bypass line, prior to re-starting the Vitapur
®
UV disinfection system
to conrm that the valve has been fully closed and that only water from the outlet port will be
going downstream. The installation of a drain valve, while not required for system operation, is
recommended for all installations of the Vitapur
®
UV disinfection system. The installation of a drain
valve will allow the service technician to drain the system of water prior to conducting any service
on the unit.
InStallatIon InStructIonS: acceSSIbIlIty, orIentatIon & fIttIngS:
Always mount the Vitapur
®
UV in a location that provides ample space for accessing the ultraviolet
lamps. Service may require removing the UV lamp and quartz tube. A minimum distance equivalent
to the length of the UV reaction chamber (stainless steel cylinder) plus 6-12” (15-30cm) is required
to ensure adequate clearance. As the Vitapur
®
UV disinfection system generates heat during use,
please ensure that no combustible items come into contact with, or are in proximity to the system. It
is recommended that you maintain at least 6” (15 cm) of clear wall space on all sides of the Vitapur
®
UV for cooling purposes. This will prolong the operating life of the system. Mount electronic controllers
where they will not get wet during maintenance or from condensation from copper pipes, etc.
