The Comprehensive UV Water Purifier Setup Guide
Unboxing Your UV Water Purifier
Step 1: Unwrap the UV Light System and Mounts
Begin by carefully unboxing your UV water purifier. Ensure you have all the necessary components, including the UV light system and mounts.
Step 2: Unwrap the Holders for the Housing
Next, unwrap the holders designed to secure the housing of your UV water purifier. These holders are crucial for the proper installation of the system.
Step 3: Mount the Holders to the Wall
Mount the holders on the wall, ensuring a secure and stable fit. While a horizontal installation is recommended, if you opt for a vertical setup, make sure the globe and power leads exit from the top, not the bottom, to prevent any mishaps.
Step 4: Install the Clip Locks
Attach the clip locks to the holders to secure the housing firmly in place. This step is essential for the system’s stability during operation.
Step 5: Assemble the UV System
Now, it’s time to assemble the UV water purification system.
1. Unscrew both ends of the system.
2. Unwrap the glass thimble carefully.
3. Gently slide the glass thimble into the UV system.
Step 6: Attach O-Rings
Unwrap the O-rings and place one on each end of the glass thimble. These O-rings will create a seal when you put the caps on, ensuring the system’s integrity.
Step 7: Secure with Stainless Steel Caps
Put the stainless steel caps back on either side of the UV system and tighten them as securely as possible by hand. Proper sealing is crucial for effective water purification.
Setting Up the Water Supply
Step 8: Apply Thread Tape
To prevent any potential leaks, wrap thread tape around the threads of both the inlet and outlet pipes.
Step 9: Connect the In and Out Pipes
Now, connect the inlet and outlet pipes to the UV water purifier. This step completes the plumbing part of the installation.
Step 10: Test for Leaks
Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks. Run taps, flush the toilet, and turn on the shower to ensure the UV system is not leaking.
Step 11: Powering Up the UV Purifier
Once you’ve confirmed there are no leaks, proceed to set up the electrical components of your UV water purifier.
Step 12: Install the UV Bulb
1. Remove the UV bulb from its packaging.
2. Slide the UV bulb into the thimble. If your system is mounted vertically, exercise caution to avoid dropping the bulb, which could damage the thimble.
Step 13: Connect the Controller
Plug the controller into a Residual Current Device (RCD) and then plug the RCD into a power outlet. Ensure the controller is mounted in a dry and secure location.
Step 14: Connect the Power Cord
Connect the power cord/controller to the UV bulb and push it into the housing. Seal it with the rubber cap provided.
Step 15: Ground the System
Remove the nut where the earth wire connects and attach the earth wire securely. Tighten the nut to ensure a solid connection.
Step 16: Prevent Condensation
Make sure the power cord is directed downward to prevent any condensation from dripping into the UV bulb.
