STEALTH SYSTEM LAYOUT

STEALTH SYSTEM OVERVIEW

System Layout:
The Stealth includes a carbon filter and a UV purification chamber. Water must pass through the carbon filter as the first stage, and the UV chamber as the second stage. See page 4. The Stealth should be installed on the cold water line between the Cold Water Shut Off Valve and the faucet cold water line. Ideally the Stealth should be the last component the water passes through before the faucet.
It is optional to provide a dedicated stand alone drinking water faucet for the Stealth system. Operator preference should dictate this decision. Considerations include a slight pressure drop associated with the carbon filter, and if a fully isolated water purifier is required.
The INLET elbow may be rotated 360 degrees to accommodate plumbing layouts.

Mounting:
The Stealth should be mounted on a vertical wall. The system should be oriented with the clear filter cannister down so water does not spill when the housing is unscrewed. Select a location where plumbing can route cleanly, and access for filter changes is good.

Electrical Supply
The Stealth requires power to enable the UV treatment. A 110/240V 50/60Hz outlet is required.

Operation:
The Stealth has an instantaneous flow sensing switch which detects water flow and immediately activates the UV. The Stealth will sense that water is moving when you open the faucet. The sensor will notice a minimum of 0.3 liters per minute flow rate. LED technology allows it to instantly switch ON the UV chamber to full power and effectiveness with no warm up necessary. It draws minimal power when it is in standby mode.

STEALTH INSTALLATION

Tools required: No 2 Philips Head Screwdriver

General Practices

• Read all instructions before use.
• Remove the Stealth from Packaging, ensure contents are complete.
• Do not power on UV without water connected and initial flushing.
• For installation location, consider ease of access for filter changes, minimum bend radii of tubing, and access to electrical connections.
• Do a quick test fit before beginning installation.
• Stealth system should be installed on the cold water line between the faucet shutoff and the faucet.

Instructions

1. Turn off COLD water supply at the supply shut off valve on the wall.

2. Determine mounting location for Stealth. Make sure that faucet cold water line will reach the outlet fitting at top of Stealth. Make sure that Stealth inlet fitting is within 24” of water supply valve. See System Layout diagram Page 4.

3. Unscrew Filter Housing Canister, Clear (4) and set aside with Filter (28) to provide clear access to bracket mounting holes.

4. Using Bracket Mounting Pattern on Page 21, mark fastener locations for upper 2 screws on mounting surface. Screws are self tapping in most materials. Thread 2 Screws (17) into mounting surface using No 2 Philips Head Screwdriver. Stop turning screws to leave a small gap under screw head. Do not over-tighten screws, substrate material may strip if over-tightend. If mounting in a material other than wood, metal, or plastic, substitute appropriate fasteners.

5. Hang bracket by top screws. See Page 8.

6. Install 2 screws (17) into mounting surface through 2 holes on lower side of mounting bracket using the bracket as a guide. Screws are self tapping. Then snug up the upper screws on the bracket. See page 9.

7. Thread the Faucet Connector (23) onto the cold water line hose. The supplied connector fits a 3/8 compression thread. Tighten snugly by hand.

8. Press the Faucet Connector (23) onto the top outlet stem of the UV unit (11). Press the fitting on until it stops, and then pull to provide some tension to seat the internal o-ring seal.See Page 10.

9. Thread the Female Faucet Connector (19) onto the Cold Water Shut Off Valve. Make sure a rubber o-ring is present in the connection. Tighten snugly by hand.

10. Install Carbon Block Cartridge (28) and Filter Housing Canister, Clear (4) making sure O-ring (5) seats in groove in canister. (Remove plastic wrap from carbon filter). Tighten firmly by hand.

11. Turn on Cold Water Shut Off valve at the wall. Inspect the installation and determine that there are NO LEAKS.

12. Connect the barrel plug of the power adapter (18) to the UV unit. See page 12. Connect the power adapter to a 110/240V 50/60 Hz wall socket.

13. GREEN light indicates power is ON. BLUE light indicates UV system is ACTIVE when water flows.
    BLUE light should turn off when water flow stops. See Status Light Codes Page

15. Turn on water at the faucet, and flush carbon fines out of new Carbon Filter. Run 3-5 gallons of water through Stealth to remove carbon fines from new Carbon Filter. You will see black sediment in water as fines are removed.

16. Have a drink of clean water!

STEP 7) THREAD FAUCET CONNECTOR FITTING (23) ONTO FAUCET COLD WATER LINE

STEP 8) PRESS PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTING ONTO OUTLET STEM OF UV UNTIL IT STOPS
ONCE CONNECTED, PULL FITTING TO LOCK INTERNAL O-RING SEAL

STEP 9) THREAD FEMALE FAUCET CONNECTOR (19) ONTO COLD WATER SHUT OFF VALVE

STEALTH OPERATION

When power is connected to the Stealth, the green indicator LED illuminates to indicate it is on STANDBY MODE (see page 9). In this mode, the Stealth is ready to purify water, but has not yet activated the UV purification chamber.
The UV purification function of the Stealth activates automatically by sensing water flow and activating the UV purification chamber when water is moving. A few seconds after the water stops, the Stealth turns the purification chamber off. Water flow typically is started and stopped by using your faucet. UV purification activity is indicated by the BLUE LED indicator light. The sensor requires a minimum of 0.3 liters per minute of flow to activate.
LED technology allows the UV purification chamber to instantly activate and perform at full effectiveness. The UV chamber does not require any time to “warm up.”
The Stealth can be left on STANDBY MODE indefinitely. The UV function should only activate when water is running.

UV PulseCare:
When the UV unit is in Standby Mode, and water is not flowing, the UV unit will periodically activate to clean the UV chamber. This prevents microbiological pathogens from migrating through the chamber due to natural colonization and transport. While  inactive, the UV will flash for 1 second every 30 minutes.
If system is left off for more than 12 hours, contamination from microbiological migration is possible, and water lines should be sanitized.

STEALTH MAINTENANCE – CHANGING CARBON FILTER

WHEN TO CHANGE THE CARBON BLOCK FILTER
Carbon block filters should be changed after 1000 gallons of use. Actual capacity may vary depending upon quality of water filtered. Reduced water flow rate through filter or at the faucet is an indication that the carbon block filter element should be changed.

HOW TO CHANGE CARBON BLOCK FILTER

Shut off water pressure, and open faucet to drain and depressurize water line. Place a towel below filter canister to catch any water that may drain. Unscrew carbon block filter canister (10). Use a filter wrench if necessary. Locate the o-ring (11) on the perimeter of the canister. Drain water and remove carbon block element (12). Place new carbon block filter element in the cannister. Make sure canister o-ring (11) is properly seated and cartridge gaskets are in place. Thread the cannister onto filter housing base. Make sure top and bottom of filter cartridge is centered on mounting See below for list of acceptable replacement filters. Tighten cannister firmly by hand, making sure o-ring seals. Turn on water pressure, let water run. Run 5 gallons of water through system to dislodge and remove any loose carbon fines. Close faucet and check for leaks.

STEALTH MAINTENANCE – WINTERIZING

WARNING
FREEZING TEMPERATURES CAN DAMAGE STEALTH AND CAUSE WATER SYSTEM LEAKS AND DAMAGE
Temperatures below 32F (0C) can damage the Stealth causing leaks and loss of performance.
Follow WINTERIZATION PROCEDURES to prepare Stealth for freezing conditions.

WINTERIZATION PROCEDURES
In below freezing temperatures, water MUST BE REMOVED from the Stealth or damage may occur to the UV unit and carbon filter. Follow these guidelines in addition to any recommendations that may come with the rest of your water system.

1. Unscrew FILTER CANISTER (10) and drain water. Remove CARBON BLOCK CARTRIDGE(12).
2. Open faucet. Use an air compressor to inject air into the outlet hole in the center of the filter housing base nearest the UV unit.. Pulse air into the outlet hole as shown on page 18 to push air and water out through the UV unit. Water should come out of open faucet. Pulse air until no more water is expelled through faucet, and water is removed from UV unit.
3. Reinstall the CANISTER (10) without the CARBON BLOCK CARTRIDGE (12). Allow CARBON BLOCK FILTER (12) to dry, and store for re-installation, or replace if expired.

ALTERNATIVELY TO THIS PROCEDURE, anti-freeze fluid may be used to protect the Stealth from freezing conditions. Remove CARBON BLOCK CARTRIDGE (12) and follow manufacturer instructions for distributing food safe anti-freeze fluid throughout the system including the Stealth to prevent water from freezing.

WARNING

FREEZING TEMPERATURES CAN DAMAGE STEALTH AND CAUSE WATER SYSTEM LEAKS AND DAMAGE
Temperatures below 32F (0C) can damage the Stealth causing leaks and loss of peformance. Follow WINTERIZATION PROCEDURES to prepare Stealth for freezing conditions.

WINTERIZATION PROCEDURES

STEALTH SYSTEM PRO TIPS

1. After replacing carbon filter cartridge with a new filter, some visible black carbon fines may be dislodged in new carbon filter. This is normal, allow approximately 5 gallons of water to pass to remove carbon fines.

2. For best performance, filter and purify water as close to point of use as possible. The Stealth should be the last thing your drinking water passes through before faucet. For whole system filtration, consult Guzzle H2O.

3. For installation location, consider ease of access, max length and minimum bend radius of water supply hoses and power connections when selecting installation location. Also consider large items that might be stored in cabinet locations.

4. The carbon filter will cause a 3-5 psi pressure drop in line pressure as it filters water. If this is not acceptable, consider providing a dedicated faucet for filtered water.

5. Stealth should be installed in a protected, watertight area. It is very rugged, but not made for outdoor installation.

6. There are various inlet and outlet attachments that accommodate hose, PEX tubing, and faucet connections.
   Consult Guzzle H2O for options for specific plumbing connections. See www.guzzleh2o.com for a selection.

7. Lubricate filter canister threads with food safe silicone grease to make threading cannister easier.

8. The LED-UV unit is natively 12V, and direct DC installation is available. See www.guzzleh2o.com.

9. Replacement filters are available on a subscription basis from www.guzzleh2o.com for automatic re-or-der every 6 months.
