WATTS WA00 Series SmartStream-A
Connection Sizes: 3⁄8″ to 1″
Flow Rates: From 2 gpm to 12 gpm (7.6 lpm to 45.4 lpm)
The Watts SmartStream® line of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems is highly effective at providing protection against micro- biological contamination in water for residential and commercial applications with flow rates up to 12 gallons per minute. Disinfection of water with SmartStream® is a simple, rapid physical process. When contaminated water is exposed to SmartStream’s® 254 nanometer UV light, the UV light penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms and disrupts their genetic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) material. This quickly inactivates microorganisms by destroying their ability to replicate and infect. UV water disinfection is highly effective in disabling up to 99.9% of harmful organisms in water. SmartStream® UV systems target harmful organisms such as bacteria, cysts, protozoa, and viruses. Watts SmartStream® UV disinfection systems are engineered to be tough and reliable. The UV chambers are constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel and the controllers are UL listed. SmartStream® UV disinfection systems can be used as a point of entry or point of use disinfection device. They should be installed as close as possible to the treated water’s point of use.
Utilizing SmartStream® for the disinfection of water does not induce chemicals into the water. This means no tastes, odors, or residual chemicals are left over in the water after the disinfection process. SmartStream® systems can be installed in a wide variety of applications such as residential drinking water and whole house disinfection for wells, rainwater catchment and municipal water. Commercial applications include water bottling, food and beverage processing, aquaculture, laboratories, reverse osmosis pre and post treatment, as well as anywhere disinfection of water without the use of chemicals is preferred.
WARNING
DO NOT rely solely on this system to make water safe to drink. SmartStream®
UV disinfection systems are intended to be used as part of a well designed
water treatment system. Water that contains microbiological contamination
should be tested regularly to ensure its quality and safety at the point of
use.

Controller Features
SmartStream® A series UV Controllers are designed with simplicity in mind. Input power is converted to the correct voltage required by the lamp for the production of UV light. During normal operation, the LED indicator will be illuminated green. If the lamp burns out then an audible alarm will sound and the Green/Red LED Indicator will change from Green to Red. This informs the user that the system requires servicing.

Specifications
A Watts SmartStream® ultraviolet disinfection system shall be installed on the
main water service pipe just after it enters the building, but after other
whole building water safety devices
(backflow preventers or pressure reducing valves), to effectively address
microbiological concerns. A system may also be installed further downstream to
protect specific point of use applications. The minimum UV dosage from the
system shall be 30 mJ/cm2 at 1 year end of lamp life. The system’s UV chamber
shall be constructed of 304 stainless steel. A red/green LED indicator and
audible alarm shall be an integral part of the system’s controller to inform
the user of the current operational status. A properly sized 5 micron
cartridge type refilter must be installed just before the inlet to the system
to reduce sediment. The installation area should be suitable in size for
mounting of the system and have enough end clearance for replacing lamps and
quartz sleeves.
