4. Installation

4.1 Pre-Installation Considerations

• Location: Install the UV system after any pre-filtration (e.g., sediment filters) and before the hot water heater. Ensure sufficient space for future maintenance and lamp replacement.
• Orientation: The system can be installed horizontally or vertically. For vertical installation, place the inlet lower and the outlet higher to optimize water flow and UV exposure.
• Tools Needed: Adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, plumber's tape, pliers, pipe cutter/hacksaw, tape measure, level, gloves, safety glasses, and appropriate tubing/fittings.

4.2 Assembly Steps

1. Clean Quartz Tube and UV Lamp: Before handling, wear gentle, non-abrasive gloves. Clean the quartz tube and UV lamp with alcohol or a mild detergent to prevent fingerprints and smudges, which can reduce UV effectiveness.
2. Prepare Filter Chamber: Detach both the open-end and closed-end nuts from the filter chamber.
3. Install O-rings: Place an O-ring on the open end of the quartz tube (approximately 12mm or 1/2 inch from the edge). Insert the quartz tube into the filter chamber. Place another O-ring on the closed end of the quartz tube.
4. Secure Closed-End Nut: Hand-tighten the closed-end nut onto the filter chamber (over the closed end of the quartz tube). Avoid excessive tightening to protect the O-ring.
5. Connect UV Lamp: Securely connect the 4-pin electrical socket to the UV lamp pins. Gently place the UV lamp into the quartz tube via the open-end nut.
6. Attach Cover Cap: Attach the cover cap and hand-tighten it onto the opened nut.
7. Install Flow Switch: Place the flow switch on the outlet of the UV chamber, observing the water flow direction indicated on the switch.
8. Connect Flow Switch Cable: Link the flow switch cable to the control switch, then seal the switch cover.

4.3 Plumbing and Electrical Connections

1. Mounting: Secure the aluminum clamps to the wall using screws at the chosen installation location. Install the UV unit onto these clamps.
2. Plumbing: Connect the UV system into your main water line using appropriate plumbing fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight.
3. Electrical: Connect the male DC power connector (plug) from the flow switch to the female DC power jack on the ballast. Plug the ballast's power cord into a grounded wall socket to power the unit.

5. Operation

The Aquaboon UV Water Purification System is designed for simple and automatic operation.

• Initial Startup: After completing plumbing connections, gradually open the water supply and inspect for any leaks. Allow water to flow briefly to remove any trapped air or dust from the filter chamber.
• Automatic Operation: The system features a smart flow sensor switch. Press the control switch to "AUTO" for automatic UV lamp operation when water flows. This mode is recommended for UV lamp protection and energy efficiency.
• Continuous Operation: To enable continuous UV lamp operation, press "MOVE" on the control switch.
• Shutting Down: To turn off the UV lamp, press "STOP" on the control switch.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your UV water purification system.

• UV Lamp Replacement: The UV lamp has an operational life of up to 8,000-10,000 hours of continuous use. Annual UV lamp replacement is recommended to maintain optimal purification performance. The electronic ballast features a countdown timer to help track lamp life.
• Quartz Tube Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the quartz tube to remove any mineral deposits or buildup that could reduce UV light transmission. Disconnect power and water supply before cleaning.
• O-ring Inspection: Inspect O-rings during lamp or quartz tube replacement for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to prevent leaks.
