freezing unless all the water has been drained from it and the water supply has been disconnected.

8. Read and observe all the important notices and warnings on the water disinfection system.

9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less

Amperes or Watts than the disinfection system rating may over heat. Care should be taken to

arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or accidentally pulled from the outlet.

10. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: The light given off by this unit can cause serious burns to unprotected eyes and skin. Never

look directly at a lit U.V. lamp. When performing any work on the U.V. Disinfection System, always

unplug the unit first. Never operate the U.V. system while the lamp is outside of the U.V. chamber.

WARNING: The U.V. lamp inside of the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of approximately

9,000 hours. To ensure continuous water treatment, replace the U.V. lamp

annually with the appropriate Aqua Treatment Services U.V. lamp. Failure to comply may

present a fire hazard.

WARNING: For Class A Systems, boil water in a failure situation.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT:

The DWS C Series are of unique design with an ultraviolet germicidal lamp housed within a

single quartz sleeve surrounded by a stainless steel pressure chamber. The chamber is fabricated out of

304 Stainless Steel. A removable stainless steel cover exposes electrical components for servicing,

when required.

The DWS C Series comes with an ultraviolet lamp designed with one pin at each end. This type of lamp

has a socket connected to each pin.

A stainless steel threaded nipple with a brass compression nut and O-Ring is located at each end of the

disinfection chamber.

The quartz sleeve is intended to be placed through the disinfection chamber and will slightly protrude from

each threaded nipple end. The ultraviolet lamp is placed within this quartz sleeve. The U.V. light shines

through this specially designed hard quartz sleeve for maximum disinfection efficiency to meet the

requirements for bacteria reduction in potable water.

The inlet/outlet are located on one side of the chamber and may be interchanged as to designation

dependent upon installation. A sight port is provided for safe and easy view of operation.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR ALL DISINFECTION UNITS:

1. When installing the equipment, it is necessary that the unit be isolated from vibration,

heavy equipment, and poorly connected piping.

2. Incoming water temperature to the unit should not exceed 35°minimum to 110°

maximum degrees Fahrenheit. The Operating temperature should also be between 35

minimum to 110 maximum degrees Fahrenheit.

3. The operating pressure should be between 25 and 100 psi.

4. Before putting the unit into final operation follow sanitation procedures as outlined in this

manual for proper disinfection. Sanitizing all discharge piping and fittings with household

bleach from disinfection unit to point of use removes existing contaminants and gives

the unit a “clean start.” Be sure to rinse with U.V. treated water.

5. A proper flow control must be used to insure only the designated flow through the unit.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES:

1. Always disconnect electrical power to any U.V. unit before servicing.

2. Under no circumstances should personnel look at a U.V. lamp in operation

3. U.V. disinfection units must always be properly grounded.

INSTALLATION:

The DWS C Series are always placed after the pressure tank and any other type of treatment devices

(i.e. softeners, filters).

These units are normally installed in a vertical position in an enclosed area with good ventilation.

Allow clearance of at least the unit’s length at one end for quartz sleeve and bulb replacement. Four

(4) anchor bolt holes are provided for proper wall support. Use wall plugs with screws for sufficient

support (not included).

If your piping system is subject to impulse pressure resulting in a “water hammer” condition, a surge

tank or other means must be provided to remove this condition; otherwise, this extreme shock

pressure condition may rupture or fracture the quartz sleeve.

Make all plumbing connections to allow for ease of service. System and Installation shall comply

with applicable state and local regulations.

**All C Series UV Units must be mounted vertical.**

Step By Step Installation:

1. Turn off the water before cutting into the water line.

2. Assess the installation (i.e. type of pipe, size of lines, etc.) and obtain necessary plumbing

fittings for installation. Inlets and outlets on the DWS-5C are ¾'' MNPT. Inlets and outlets

__on the DWS-8C, 15C are 1'' MNPT. Inlets and outlets on the DWS-30C are 1½'' FNPT.

Inlets and outlets on the DWS-50C are 2½'' FNPT. Use Teflon tape on all threaded connec-

tions and avoid over tightening.

Note: The flow control is a press in type. Each unit has a 3/4" MNPT inlet/outlet machined so

the press in flow control can be easily inserted into whichever port you select for the

inlet. Make sure the rubber part of the flow control is facing outward from the port

selected. Simply hand press or slightly tap in the flow control until it seats on the

inside ledge of the machined port.

3. Using the mounting bracket provided, secure unit to wall, or other surface. Make sure to

allow enough room to install, replace, and clean the quartz sleeve and bulb. Installing a

water shut-off valve before and after the unit is recommended to make servicing easy.

4. After mounting, install quartz sleeve, O-Ring, and bulb per instructions. Turn on the water

slowly, check for leaks, and repair as needed prior to full service operation.

5. After the unit is full of water, plug it into a grounded 115V outlet. Observe operation

through the safety sight port. The lamp will show a bright blue glow. If any problems

are noted, consult trouble shooting guide.

GENERAL INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

QUARTZ SLEEVE:

Note: Before start up, flush unit for 3 minutes with running water. After flush-

ing, follow sanitation procedures.

Installation of the Quartz Sleeve:

Always handle quartz sleeves carefully to prevent breaking or chipping. The quartz sleeves are to be

clean and free of fingerprints before installing.

Remove the compression nuts. Install the quartz sleeve through the stainless steel threaded nipples

allowing an equal amount to extend beyond each nipple. Install the O-Ring down to the top of the

nipple. Avoid riding the O-Ring on any threaded part of the nipple. Hand-tighten each compression

nut to form a compression seal around the quartz sleeve. Avoid overtightening the nuts, which may

cause a fracture on the end of the quartz sleeve. Under normal operation conditions, hand-tightening

will provide a 100 psi seal. Do not use any devices to tighten end nuts.

After you have tightened the compression nuts and all other plumbing connections, open the outlet

valve. Slowly open the inlet valve and flush out all remaining air. Then close the outlet valve and

slowly open the inlet valve fully. Check the unit for leaks. If you find a leak at the compression nut,

tighten the nut further. If the leak continues, drain the unit and inspect the quartz O-Ring and quartz

sleeve for proper seal. Once you complete checking the unit, reassemble O-Ring and tighten gland nut.

Repressurize the unit and check again.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CLEANING THE QUARTZ SLEEVE:

As water passes through the U.V., minerals, debris and other matter in the water may deposit onto the

quartz sleeve. After sufficient film has formed on the quartz sleeve, the ability of the ultraviolet

germicidal rays to pass though the quartz sleeve and into the water may be impaired. Therefore, it is

necessary to determine a cleaning schedule for the quartz sleeve. The frequency will depend on the

specific type of water conditions. If the water has been processed through softeners and/or filters; clean-

ing may be required only once per year. If untreated water is used, the cleaning frequency will vary. A

minimum of once yearly is the standard recommendation for cleaning and lamp replacement. Contact

your local dealer for scheduling this service. Your specific situation will vary the frequency time

according to the water quality of the home or facility application.

QUARTZ SLEEVE CLEANING PROCEDURES:

To clean the quartz sleeve, turn off the water flow to the disinfection unit, and disconnect the electrical

service. Carefully remove the U.V. lamp. Loosen the compression nuts with O-Rings and remove the

quartz sleeve while draining the water from the chamber. The quartz sleeve may then be washed with

a mild soap and hot water solution and rinsed clean with hot water. Should this be insufficient to clean

the quartz sleeve, a mild acid may be used (i.e. vinegar). Be certain to follow all recommended safety

and handling procedures on the acid container. It is important to

handle the quartz sleeve with care to prevent breakage. Make certain that all finger prints are wiped

clean before reinstalling (see installation of the quartz sleeve). Replace O-Rings [ATS8-544(2)] every

time a quartz sleeve is cleaned or replaced.

U.V. LAMPS:

INSTALLATION OF THE ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS:

CAUTION: Never look directly at an operating U.V. lamp and never operate a U.V. lamp outside the

disinfection chamber.**DO NOT PUT POWER ON AT THIS TIME!**

Make sure unit is unplugged when installing or servicing ultraviolet lamp. Remove any paper tabs on

the U.V. lamp and avoid allowing fingerprints and other debris to deposit. Carefully place the bulb

inside the quartz sleeve leaving enough space to connect the socket connector to the lamp pins. Slide

the protective brass shrouds over the brass end nuts to secure the lamp is in place.

ULTRAVIOLET LAMP MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:

The U.V. lamp is rated for 9,000 hours of continuous use. After this period of time, the U.V. lamp has

undergone a photochemical change. While the lamp will not normally be burned out, the lamp quartz

may no longer emit the 254-nm shortwave U.V. to effectively kill bacteria. Failure to replace the U.V.

lamps every 9,000 hours may cause bacteriological breakthrough. Should the use of the disinfec-

tion unit be intermittent, in no case should the U.V. lamp be used for more than 24 months regardless

of the number of hours of operation due to normal shelf life degradation of the U.V. bulb. Changing

the quartz sleeve should be done at the same time U.V. lamp replacement is scheduled.

Also replace O-Rings.

Check with the dealer that installed your system, or aquat.com to find the distributor in your

area for replacement parts.

It is recommended that your water supply be tested periodically (yearly) through your local health

department or approved certified laboratory.

ELECTRICAL:

The DWS C Series are furnished with 6' line cord that will plug into a 115V outlet. Electrical recep-

tacles must be properly grounded for safe operation. Improper grounding will void any warranty.

When possible use a separate breaker to minimize voltage fluctuations and avoid accidental shut off.

After unit is installed and water is turned on, plug the unit into 115V wall receptacle.

NOTE: Avoid exposing your eyes to U.V. light.

SANITATION PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLATION

AND BULB REPLACEMENT:

HOW TO DISINFECT A WATER SYSTEM:

Every new well, or existing water supply system that has been disrupted for service or repair, should be

disinfected before it is returned to use. Water in the well and storage tank should be treated with a strong

chlorine solution to destroy disease causing organisms. All pipelines and fixtures in the distribution system

should be rinsed and flushed with chlorinated water. Upon installation of a U.V. disinfection unit or yearly

bulb replacement service, disinfection with chlorine to initially flush the system is recommended to assure line

sanitation prior to U.V. start up.

The source of chlorine can be ordinary household liquid laundry bleach (about 5.25% available chlorine). The

quantity required depends on the volume of water to be treated. The United States Environment Protection

Agency (EPA) indicated that about 100 parts of chlorine, by weight, mixed in a million parts of water will

destroy essentially all water-borne disease organisms. Table 1 shows the quantity of liquid bleach required to

disinfect wells of various diameters and depths.

DISINFECTION PROCEDURE:

DRILLED WELLS:

Remove the well cap or seal from the casing and measure the depth of the water in the well, then refer to

Table 1 to determine how many chlorine pellets should be used. In some instances removing the seal to

measure the water can be a difficult task, and it is easier to estimate well and water depth from well log or

other records. Determine if there is an unobstructed path from the top of the well to the water level. If it is not

possible to remove the well cap, remove vent or sanitation access plug.

Drop one pellet into the well and listen to hear if it hits the water. If the pellet hits the water, drop one-half the

number of pellets determined to be needed into the well. These will sink to the bottom and sanitize the lower

part of the well.

Mix the remaining pellets in a few gallons of water in a CLEAN plastic container and pour the solution into

the well.

In order to mix the chlorine thoroughly throughout the entire water system, it is necessary to recirculate the

water in the well. This can be accomplished by connection of a hose to an out side faucet that is located after

the pressure tank. Use the hose to run water back down the well (this also rinses upper portion of well). After

about 15 minutes of recirculation of the water, a strong chlorine odor should be apparent. Turn off hose.

Bypass water softener and filters and open each water outlet in the water system until chlorine is

present in water. This procedure assures that all the water in the system is chlorinated.

Allow the chlorinated water to stand in the system for at least six (6) hour, and preferable overnight.

After this, open an outside faucet system until water runs chlorine free. Repeat flush operation on each

faucet in system.

NOTE:

A.Chlorine may break loose iron deposits, slime and organic material. This material will make the

water run colored. The material broken loose may plug pump screens. Do not continue to

run pump if water doesn’t flow.

B. The high level of chlorine required to sanitize a water system is corrosive to most metals and

chlorine solution must not be allowed to remain in water system more than 36 hours before

being completely flushed from system.

After system has been completely flushed, perform a bacteriological analysis on the water

following all applicable procedures.

NOTE: Always follow the sanitizing procedure required by applicable state or local laws.

EPA Registered: Well sanitizer pellets are EPA Registered for sanitizing potable water.

EPA Registration No. 50510-1.

LARGE DIAMETER WELLS: Dug or bored wells should be disinfected in the same way as a drilled

one. Lower the water level as much as possible, remove the sand, silt and debris, and then treat with the

chlorine solution. Mix thoroughly by circulating the water back into the well and use the hose to rinse the

interior

lining of the well. Do not try to disinfect an unprotected, unlined well because new seepage or surface

contamination will flow into the water about as fast as you can disinfect it. Disinfect the pipeline distribution

system as indicated for drilled wells.

SPRINGS AND CISTERNS:Mix about ½ cup of household bleach in 5 gallons of water and use this

to scrub the walls of the spring box or holding tank. With a constant flow of fresh water from the spring, there

probably no way of detaining the chlorine solution in the reservoir for more than a few minutes. However, the

chlorinated water should flow through the pipeline to disinfect the distribution system. Cisterns can be

disinfected in the same way but a source of clean water will be needed to flush the dirty waste out of the

system.

For additional information about how to protect wells and springs and keep them from becoming

contaminated, call or visit your local Cooperative Extension office, or your nearest certified water treatment

specialist.

If this system is used for the treatment of untreated surface waters or groundwater under the direct

influence of surface water, a device found to be in conformance for cyst reduction under the appropriate

NSF/ANSI Standard shall be included upstream of the system.
