4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Start-Up Procedure

The VPS1140-1 system has been designed to be installed on the cold water line only.
NOTE: The UV System should remain on continuously to ensure protection of your water system. During normal operation of the system, the
green power LED will be illuminated. When there is no flow in the system, the water in the vitapur ® chamber will be warmed by the ultraviolet
lamps. Running a cold water tap for about 30 seconds will eliminate all of the warm water.
The presence of small air bubbles in the water system may occasionally give tap water a milky appearance, but air bubbles will not affect water
quality or taste. Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy due to the release of air trapped within the filters and throughout the system.
Dependant upon your use of the system, this condition should disappear within a few days to a few weeks following system installation.
Always perform the following start-up procedure when starting your VPS1140-1 system for the first time or after a dormant period:
1. Shut off the main water supply valve.
2.
Mount the UV rack system to the wall. Please note that due to the weight of the UV rack, it is essential that the unit is mounted
directly to a concrete wall (screws and washers not provided) or directly into framing studs (screws and washers provided).
Do not mount the unit directly on dry wall.
3. Hook up inlet water connections and the outlet water connection. For ease of installation and service it is
recommended using couplings on both the inlet and outlet lines.
4.
The filters are wrapped and the wrapping around the filter(s) has to be removed. Mount the filter(s) and housing(s) on the
UV rack system.
5.
Plumb inlet water connections and the outlet water connection. For ease of installation and service it is recommended using
union couplings on both the inlet and outlet lines.
6. Confirm that all of the plumbing connections are secured. Partially open the main supply valve while releasing air from the
system by opening a downstream faucet.
Plug in the Vitapur UV disinfection system and confirm that the UV lamp is illuminated; (purple glow through the VuCap ® ).
7.
8.
If no leaks are visible at low flow, then fully open the main supply valve. Check for leaks.
9.
For chlorine disinfection of household water distribution system, follow procedures outlined in section 3.3.
10. Open a downstream tap and flush the system for 15 minutes prior to initial use.
11.
Your UV rack system is now ready for use.
The following instructions have been provided to assist with general maintenance of the system; UV lamp replacement and quartz sleeve
cleaning/replacement. All other system repairs must be completed by an accredited service technician.

5. Service and Maintenance

Your VPS1140-1 uses a dual treatment process involving both filtration and UV disinfection to treat water. The water filters, quartz sleeve and
ultraviolet lamp require regularly scheduled replacement / service in order for the VPS1140-1 to provide maximum performance.
The ultraviolet lamp has an approximate life of 9000 hrs. (one year). Replacement UV lamps and quartz sleeves are available from an authorized
retailer and GHP Group inc. Use only vitapur ® lamps and sleeves to ensure maximum system performance. Replacement lamp and quartz
sleeve model # VUVL-8
Your vitapur ® UV disinfection system in equipped with a visible/audible lamp failure indicator. In the event of a failure of the UV lamp, the red
LED light will flash and a loud beeping will be audible. Please note that if these conditions occur and you are on a non-municipal supplied water
source, you should immediately stop using the water for potable applications until the lamp is replaced and disinfection of the distribution lines
is completed.
