Safety Consideraons
Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, care must be
followed when operang and/or maintaining your system.
1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Energy given o by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly
at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protecon and always protect your skin
from direct exposure to the UV light.
3. For complete disinfecon, use ONLY genuine replacement parts.
4. Do not operate the unit if it has any damaged or missing components.
5. To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.
6. Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so.
Contact the manufacturer for service instrucons if required.
7. Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of this
system could potenally cause harm to the user or others.
8. Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing. DO NOT
plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are wet.
9. The disinfecon system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a
minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potenal tripping hazards.
10. We recommend that a licensed plumber or cered technician install the system.
Before You Begin
The following will be needed for installing the UV system:
Tools
• Pipe cuer, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your exisng
plumbing (e.g. if you have PEX piping)

Water Quality Parameters
UV disinfecon is extremely eecve against microorganisms but only if the UV light can pass
through the water it needs to treat. This means that the quality of your water is very important
in order to ensure complete disinfecon.
Treated water should be tested for at the least the parameters listed below. If the water
exceeds the listed parameters SpringWell strongly recommends that appropriate pretreatment
equipment be installed (equipment required will depend on parameters being treated):
Hardness: <7 gpg (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gpg or slightly below the
quartz sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure e-
cient UV penetraon; if above the water must be soened.
Iron (Fe): <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity: < 1 NTU
Tannins (organics): <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UVT (transmiance): >85% (Please contact SpringWell if water has a UVT that is less than
80% for pre-treatment recommendaons)
You can have your water tested at a private analycal laboratory or by your local dealer. It is
always recommended to install pre-ltraon of at least 5 microns prior to a UV disinfecon
system.

System Sizing
All UV systems are rated for a specic ow rate in water that meets the quality parameters on
page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the ow above this rang or disinfecng water that does
not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the micro-
organism inacvaon.
To determine ow rate follow these simple steps:
Be sure no water is being used in the home. Open a faucet or tap nearest the pressure system
and run unl the well pump starts. Close the faucet and using a second hand watch, record the
length of me in seconds unl the pump stops. This is known as the cycle me.
Then using a container of known volume, preferably in US Gallons, open the faucet or tap near-
est the pressure system and measure the amount of water drawn o unl the pump starts again.
Depending on the size of the container used, it is acceptable to turn the faucet on and o to
empty the container. This measurement is known as the draw down.
To calculate the pressure system ow rate divide the draw down by the cycle me and mulply
that by 60.
Draw Down__________÷ Cycle Time____________ x 60=__________Pumping Rate in USGPM
Locaon
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a locaon where the main cold water line is accessible.
The system must be installed aer other water treatment equipment (soener or lters), but
before any branches (See Figure 1). For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just before
the faucet. SpringWell recommends that a 5 micron lter be installed before the UV system for
a nal polishing step before the water is disinfected.

To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there is enough space at
the lamp connector end to safely remove the UV lamp and/
or quartz sleeve (See Figure 2). The controller will require
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and
should be mounted beside or above the reactor. PLEASE
NOTE: All UV disinfecon systems are intended for indoor
use only as they should not be exposed to the elements.
Installaon
Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or
vercally using the clamps provided. Vercal installaon is
the preferred method with the inlet at the boom (lamp
connecon at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the
lines to be easily purged from the system.
Step 2: The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended as
it will allow you to isolate the UV reactor. This will allow for
easier access in case maintenance is required (See Figure 3).
Step 3: Use the supplied fasteners to mount the UV
reactor to wood or drywall. If mounng to an alternate
material you will need to purchase the proper corresponding
fasteners.
Step 4: For water supplies where the maximum ow rate
is unknown, a ow restrictor is recommended so that the
rated ow of your parcular system is not exceeded. The
ow restrictor should be installed on the inlet port of the
reactor.
Step 5: It is recommended to have a licensed plumber
connect the UV reactor to the water supply and may be a
requirement depending on where you are located.
Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently
remove the quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful
not to touch the length with your hands. The use of coon
gloves is recommended for this procedure as oils from the
hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp which can
ulmately block the UV light from geng to the water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor unl you can feel
it hit the opposite end of the reactor. Align the sleeve so it
centered along the length of the reactor, then gently push it
in to lock it into the internal centering springs in the far side
of the reactor. CAUTION: Pushing too hard when the sleeve
is not aligned can damage the centering springs. Slide the o-
ring onto the sleeve unl it is bued up against the reactor.

Step 7: Hand ghten the provided gland nut over the quartz
sleeve onto the threaded end of the reactor. It has a posive
stop to prevent over-ghtening. A rm force may be required
to fully ghten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS for this
step. Insert the provided stainless steel compression spring into
the quartz sleeve. The spring works with the lamp and lamp
connector to create the proper lamp alignment. PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT install a UV lamp inside the quartz sleeve without the
sleeve spring in place.
Step 8: Install the UV sensor (ordered separately). Align the
at poron so it faces the gland nut end and matches up with
the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 5). Insert the
sensor so it is fully seated and hand ghten the sensor nut.
Step 9: The reactor is now ready for water ow. When all
plumbing connecons have been completed, slowly turn on the
water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves
are funconing properly and that the water is owing through
the reactor. The most common leak is from the o-ring not making
a proper seal on the reactor. For new installaons, review steps 6
and 7. For older systems drain the reactor, remove the o-ring, dry
it and reapply silicon grease. Reinstall the o-ring ensuring that it is
properly sealed against the reactor and check again for leaks.
Step 10: Mount the controller to the wall so it is above or
beside the reactor to ensure that no moisture can deposit
on any of the connecons (see Figure 1). Always mount the
controller vercally. For monitored systems, insert the sensor
connector into the IEP port located on the right side of the
controller (Figure 6). For the sensor to be recognized by the
controller, the controller power must be plugged in last. Do not
plug the controller power cord in before the last step.
Step 11: Always hold UV lamps by their ceramic ends, not by
the lamp quartz. Remove the lamp from its packaging. Again,
the use of coon gloves is recommended. Remove the lamp key
from the lamp’s connector and set it aside for the next step. Be
careful to not touch the key’s exposed contacts. Insert the UV
lamp into the reactor, being careful not to drop it.
Step 12: Install the lamp key into the controller (UV5 & UV6
systems only). The key always comes packaged with the lamp
and sits on the connector. With the key removed from the lamp,
orient it so the label is upright and facing you. The key will plug
into the lamp key port on the right side of the controller (Figure
7).
