BWT BIOSTIL MAX UV Serie Notice Originale page 18

WARNING : 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.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury. Carefully examine
the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts
not intended to be wet such as, the controller or lamp connector. Due to thermal expansion
concerns and potential material degradation due to UV exposure, it is recommended to use
metal fittings and at least 10» of copper pipe on the outlet of your UV chamber.
NOTICE
The UV lamp inside the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately
9000 hours. To ensure continuous protection, replace the UV lamp annually.
The UV system is not to be used or played with by children. Persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, are also not to handle
the UV system unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
EXTENSION CORDS:
that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug
from this system. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. Use only ex-
tension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the system. A cord rated
for less amperes or watts than this system rating may overheat. Exercise caution when
arranging the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. DO NOT use damaged exten-
sion cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. DO NOT abuse
extension cord. Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect
the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting this system from the extension
cord. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Always grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
SYSTEM PROTECTION:
sient voltage surge suppressor is strongly recommended.
The UV lamp in this system conforms to the applicable provisions of the Code of Federal Regu-
lations (CFR) requirements including, Radiological Health.
Read and understand the Owner's Manual before operating and performing any mainte-
nance on this equipment.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following
levels are recommended for installation:
Water Quality and Minerals
Iron
Hardness*
Turbidity
Manganese
Tannins
UV Transmittance
* Where total hardness is less than 12°f, the UV unit should operate efficiently provided the quartz
sleeve is cleaned periodically. If total hardness exceeds 12°f, the water should be softened. If your
water chemistry contains levels in excess of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is re-
commended to correct these water problems prior to 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.
