VIQUA PRO20 UVMAX Lamp and Quartz Sleeve Replacement Instructions

VIQUA PRO20 UVMAX Lamp and Quartz Sleeve Replacement

Product Information
The VIQUA UVMAX Lamp and Quartz Sleeve Replacement is designed to remove contaminants and bacteria from water, ensuring clean and safe drinking water. The system utilizes a UV lamp that emits UV light to kill harmful bacteria and viruses. Over time, the amount of UV light decreases, requiring the lamp to be replaced. The
quartz sleeve that covers the lamp can also become coated with minerals from the water which can reduce UV light reaching the water, making it necessary to clean or replace the sleeve.

Overview
UV Lamp replacement: The amount of UV light created by the UV lamp decreases over time, requiring that the UV lamp be replaced. The system will automatically notify you when it is time to replace the UV lamp.
Quartz Sleeve replacement/maintenance: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing performance. If the quartz sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced.

”Section 1 Safety Information

Please read this entire instruction sheet before operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger, warning, and caution statements in this instruction sheet. 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 instruction sheet.

Safety Precautions

• Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or deat

Shock Hazard – Stored Energy

• Shock Hazard – Stored Energy
  • Disconnect power to system before performing any maintenance or repair.
  • There may be more than one source of power. Only connect to a GFCI.
  • Protective ground
  • DO NOT touch with wet hands.

Pressurized Device – Impalement Hazard

• NEVER perform any physical inspection, repair or maintenance on UV chamber unless UV chamber has been isolated and depressurized.
• NEVER service UV lamps, quartz sleeves or associated hardware until depressurization of UV chamber has been confirmed.
• DO NOT store any combustible or flammable material close to the system.

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death. UV Light Hazard

• ALWAYS use UV protective gear, including gloves and UV safety glasses.

• NEVER look directly at illuminated UV lamp, even when using protective gear.

• NEVER illuminate UV lamp outside of the UV chamber.

• If accidental exposure occurs, immediately cool affected area and consult physician.
  Contamination Hazard

• If UV lamp breaks, avoid inhalation, ingestion, or exposure to eyes and skin. Wear appropriate clothing and personal protective equipment.

• NEVER use a vacuum cleaner to clean up broken UV lamps as this will scatter the mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the removal and disposal of mercury waste.

CAUTION

• Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.
  Thermal Hazard

  • Allow UV lamps, UV chamber to cool for a minimum of 10 (ten) minutes before handling.
  • When there is no water flow, the water in the chamber will become hot. To prevent scalding, allow the system to cool for 10 minutes before draining the system.

Personal Injury Hazard

• UV lamps and quartz sleeves are fragile. Do not strike, bend or apply pressure, or they will break.
• DO NOT handle UV lamps or quartz sleeves with bare hands. Wear rubber or latex gloves to handle previously installed UV lamps and soiled quartz sleeves to protect against contaminants. Wear cotton gloves to handle new UV lamps and clean quartz sleeves.
  Hg Exposure
  The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion of the debris and avoid exposure to eyes and skin. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up a broken lamp as this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the removal and disposal of mercury waste
