Congratulations on the purchase of your ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system! This system uses the most advanced UV technology on the market and is designed to provide you with years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance required to protect your drinking water from microbiological contaminants. To ensure ongoing disinfection of your water, UV lamps need to be replaced annually with VIQUA factory-supplied replacements.
Safety Information Section 1 Safety Information These are the original instructions. Please read this entire manual before operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger, warning, and caution statements in this manual. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. Make sure that the protection provided by this equipment is not impaired. DO NOT use or install this equipment in any manner other than that specified in the installation manual. 1.
Safety Information WA R N I N G • • • UV • During extended periods of no water flow, the water in your chamber can become very hot (Approx. 60 °C) and potentially lead to scalding. It is recommended to run your water until this hot water has been purged from your chamber. Do not allow water to contact your skin during this time. To eliminate this condition, a temperature management valve can be installed at the outlet of your UV system.
General Information the installation of your UV disinfection system. These water quality parameters can be tested by your local dealer, or by most private analytical laboratories. Proper pre-treatment is essential for the UV disinfection system to operate as intended.
Installation Section 3 Installation 3.1 UV Disinfection System CAUTION Electronic controller must be connected to a Ground Fault Protected Circuit (GFCI) receptacle and the lamp connector ground wire connected to the stainless steel chamber. The disinfection system is designed to be mounted either horizontally or vertically at the point-of-use or point-of-entry depending on the specific flow rate of the unit.

Installation Optional temparature management valve Flow Flow restrictor Figure 5 Flow Restrictor 4. Mount the VIQUA ICE controller horizontally to the wall, near the chamber. Ideally place the controller above the chamber and away from any water connection point, to prevent any water from potentially leaking onto the controller by means of a leak at a connection point or a “sweating” system.
Installation 3.2 Disinfection Procedure UV disinfection is a physical disinfection process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As UV does not provide a disinfection residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically disinfected to ensure that the plumbing system is free from any bacteriological contaminants.
Maintenance Section 4 Maintenance WA R N I N G • Always disconnect power before performing any work on the disinfection system. • Always shut-off water flow and release water pressure before servicing. • Regularly inspect your disinfection system to ensure that the power indicators are on and no alarms are present. • Replace the UV lamp annually (or biennially if seasonal home use) to ensure maximum disinfection.
Maintenance 4.2 Cleaning and Replacing Quartz Sleeve Note: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the lamp sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced. Prerequisites: • Shut off water supply and drain all lines. • Remove the UV lamp. Refer to Section 4.1. Procedure: 2 1 3 2 1 • Drain the chamber by using the drain port.
Operation 4.3 Cleaning and Replacing UV Sensor WA R N I N G The UV sensor is very delicate instrument. Extreme care is required when handling and cleaning. The sensor window itself is constructed from quartz which is extremely fragile, be careful you do not chip or break this quartz window. Manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damage due to neglect or misuse. Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the sensor window decreasing the UV energy detected.
Operation 5.1.1 Lamp Life Remaining (days) The controller tracks the number of days of operation of the lamp and the controller. The default screen will display the total lamp life remaining (in days). The controller will count down the number of days remaining until the lamp requires changing (365 days to 1 day). At “0” days, the controller will display and sound an intermittent audible chirp (1 second on, 5 seconds off), indicating the need to change the lamp. 5.1.
Operation Note: UV levels of to Indicates the system is functioning within a normal operating range. to Indicates the UV level is still within a safe level, however cleaning or lamp/sleeve replacement may soon be required. to Indicates the UV level is nearing the point of unsafe UV intensity, UV system should be immediately serviced. < Indicates the UV level has now reached a level that is unsafe. At this level the water should not be consumed.
Operation 5.2.5 Solenoid Output Working in conjunction with the UV intensity monitor, the VIQUA controller provides a powered (line voltage) IEC solenoid output connector. (Note: this is not a dry contact) This solenoid output is protected with a replaceable 2 amp isolated fuse. Connection from this output to the solenoid can be done using the IEC solenoid power cable PN 260135.
Troubleshooting Section 6 Symptom Pressure Drop Troubleshooting Possible Causes Sediment pre-filter clogged Solutions Replace filter cartridge with appropriate 5 micron cartridge. Note: Check source water supply as fluctuations may occur in source pressure. Flow regulator Flow regulator will result in pressure drop when approaching full flow. Quartz sleeve is stained or dirty Clean sleeve with scale cleaner and eliminate source of staining problem (ie. soften hard water, refer to Section 4.2.
