5.1 Lamp Installation and Replacement

warnInG: The lamp heats up after continuous use and can burn your skin if touched. Allow lamp to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing.
Do not operate the UV lamp outside of the reactor. The lamp in the unit emits Ultraviolet light that can cause permanent damage to skin and
eyes. Never look at the lamp when unit is turned on.
Handle the UV lamp by the ends only. Do not touch the bulb of a lamp with your fingers. If the surface of the lamp becomes dirty, use a clean
lint-free cloth and glass cleaner to remove the dirt.
procedure for replacing / Installing the ultraviolet (uv) lamp:
1. Turn off the water supply at both ends of the system.
2. Unplug the unit.
3.
Drain water from the Stainless Steel UV Chamber.
4. Allow at least 5 minutes for lamp to cool.
5.
Remove the connector from the end of the UV lamp.
6. Remove the UV lamp from the quartz sleeve by gently rotating the lamp free. Be sure to hold the lamp only by the ceramic tips.
7.
Insert the new UV lamp into the quartz sleeve and attach the connector.
8. Refill the UV chamber by opening the water supply just enough to fill the chamber with water.
9.
Check the system for leaks.
10. Ensure that the UV lamp is operating. A purple glow should be visible on the end of the gland nut.

5.2 Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve

Mineral deposits and sediment build-up on the quartz sleeve will affect system performance by decreasing the UV light transmitted through the
quartz sleeve into the water column.
The proper maintenance and replacement of the Sediment and Carbon Block filters supplied with the VPS1140 system will reduce the
accumulation of mineral and sediment residue on the quartz sleeve.
The quartz sleeve may be cleaned with a commercially available, non-abrasive, scale remover and a lint free cloth. Cleaning of the quartz sleeve
should be done on a regular basis to ensure maximum system performance. The amount of cleaning required will be dependant upon local
water
conditions.
All traces of the cleaning solution must be fully removed from the sleeve before it is reinstalled in the system. Care should be taken to prevent
any cleaning fluid from coming into contact with the inside surface of the quartz sleeve.
procedure for removing / Installing the Quartz Sleeve:
1. Turn off the water supply at both ends of the system.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Drain water from the Stainless Steel UV Chamber.
4. Allow at least 5 minutes for lamp to cool.
5. Remove the connector from the end of the UV lamp.
6. Remove the UV lamp from the quartz sleeve by gently rotating the lamp free. Be sure to hold the lamp only by the ceramic tips.
7. Remove the quartz sleeve and clean as noted above.
8. Insert quartz sleeve into the UV chamber.
9. Insert new or old UV lamp into the quartz sleeve and attach the connector.
10. Refill the UV chamber by opening the water supply just enough to fill the chamber with water.

5.3 Replacement of Filter Cartridges

Filter cartridge life varies depending on usage and/or water conditions. Changes in taste, color, and flow of the water being filtered indicate that
the cartridge should be replaced. It is recommended that the filter cartridges be replaced every 6 months. Replace sooner if water pressure at
faucet begins to drop noticeably or cartridge fails to perform satisfactorily.
warnInG: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
procedure for replacing filter cartridge:
1. Turn off the water supply at both ends of the system.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Depress the red pressure relief buttons on both filter housings, (a small amount of water may come out of the release valve
when the pressure is released, this is normal).
4. Using the filter housing wrench, loosen the filter housing.
5. When the filter housings, is turning freely, hold onto it with both hands while backing the housing off the threads. The housing,
filled with water and a wet filter is heavy, be cautious and ensure that you are adequately positioned to support the weight.
6. Remove the old filter, and dispose in the trash. Used filters are not considered hazardous waste.
7. Empty the housing of water, and insert the new filter cartridge. Make sure the o-ring on the filter housing has not fallen off the
housing when dumping the excess water or removing the old filter.
8. Attach the filter housing onto the system.
9. Tighten the filter housing back into position lightly with your hands, (the use of the wrench should not be required). If
desired, the wrench can be used, although caution should be taken to ensure the housing is not over tightened.
10. Refill the system by opening the inlet water line just enough to fill the chamber with water.
11. Check the system for leaks.
12. If no leaks are evident, open the inlet water line completely and re-check for leaks.
13. Plug the system in and ensure that the UV lamp is operating.
14. Open the water supply line from the system.
15. Flush the system for a minimum of 5 minutes prior to use.

5.4 Seasonal Use Maintenance Requirements

If your system is only being used seasonally, it must be stored properly for the winter. Drain all water from the system and disconnect it from
the power source. Cap both the inlet port and the outlet port, to prevent entry of insects and small animals.
Remove the filters from the system and discard in the trash.
Before placing the system back in service, it is recommended that the household plumbing procedures described in section 3.4 be followed and
that the entire plumbing network be fully disinfected and flushed prior to using the VPS1140 system.
Install new filters in the system, (see section 5.3). Do not re-install filters used during the previous season.
To clean any dust build up and/or dirt on the outside of the Quartz Sleeve, use a lint-free cloth with alcohol or non-abrasive scale remover.
