SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - to guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed,

including the following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

2. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is present

near electrical equipment. Unless a situation is encountered that is explicitly addressed by the

provided maintenance and troubleshooting sections, do not attempt repairs yourself, refer to an

authorized service facility.

3. Carefully examine the disinfection system after installation. It should not be plugged in if there

is water on parts not intended to be wet.

4. Do not operate the disinfection system if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is

malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.

5. Always disconnect water flow and unplug the disinfection system before performing cleaning

or maintenance activities. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Never pull the power cord to

remove it from an outlet.

6. Do not use this disinfection system for other than the intended use (potable water applications.)

The use of attachments not approved, recommended or sold by the manufacturer / distributor

may cause an unsafe condition.

7. Intended for indoor use. Do not install this disinfection system where it will be exposed to the

weather. Do not store this disinfection system where it will be exposed to temperatures below

freezingunlessallthewaterhasbeendrainedfromitandthewatersupplyhasbeendisconnected.

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.

1. 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 UV lamp. When performing any work on the UV Disinfection System,

always unplug the unit first. Never operate the UV system while the lamp is outside of the UV

chamber.

WARNING: The UV lamp inside of the disinfection system is rated at an effective life of

approximately 9,000 hours. To ensure continuous water treatment, replace the UV lamp annually

with the appropriate WTA Services UV lamp. Failure to comply may present a fire hazard.

FUNCTION:

The function of this ultraviolet disinfection unit is to provide in excess of 99% reduction of all water

borne pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria.

Model Triton series have a number code designation correspondent to the maximum gpm

(gallons per minute) flow rate of the unit. I.E.- TRI-8 has a maximum flow capacity of 8 gpm.

Applications:

Ultraviolet Germicidal Disinfection

Neptune Ultraviolet Disinfection Units are designed to destroy micro-organisms in water supplies. The

Ultraviolet lamp peak radiation of 254 nanometer wavelength (nm) destroys or inactivates the D.N.A.

(deoxyribonucleic acid) which absorbs the Ultraviolet radiation. Triton Germicidal

Disinfection units meet minimum dosages of 30,000 microwatt second per square centimeter.

MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION LEVELS BEFORE ULTRAVIOLET:

Turbidity.................................5 NTU Hardness..........................................7 gpg

Color.......................................None Iron...................................................0.3 ppm

Manganese........................0.05 ppm pH....................................................6.5 - 9.5ppm

Important Note - Pre-filtration equipment may be required if these parameters cannot be maintained.

Flow rate must not exceed rated capacity of the unit.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT:

The Triton series has an 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.

These units come with an ultraviolet lamp designed with four pins at one end.

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

through the threaded nipple. 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 Site Port is provided for safe and easy view of operation. A box is

secured to the wall and the chamber is held in place by tightening the lock nut to both mounting

box and chamber.

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 to110°maximum

degrees Fahrenheit.

3. The operating pressure should not exceed 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

(EXCEPT through an external Site Port lens located on the outside of the unit).

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

INSTALLATION:

The Triton 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. Two (2) anchor

bolt holes are provided for proper wall support. Use wall plugs with screws for sufficient support

(not included). A lock nut secures the mounting box to the U.V. chamber.

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. Be sure to follow all local plumbing codes

and U.V. restriction requirements where specified by local authorities.

The electrical control box is vented to allow proper air ventilation to components. For outdoor applica-

tions install a protective rain guard shield (contact your UV supplier for part number) to prevent water

from direct contact with the control box. The rain guard is not necessary for indoor applications.

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 8 gpm units are 3/4" MNPT. Use Teflon tape

on all threaded connections 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 sits on the

inside ledge of the machined port.

3. Using the mounting box 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 110V outlet. Observe operation

through the safety Site Port. The lamp will show a bright blue glow. If any problems

are noted, consult trouble shooting guide.

QUARTZ SLEEVE:

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 nut. Install the quartz sleeve through the stainless steel threaded nipple

allowing an equal amount to extend beyond each nipple. Install the O-Ring down 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. Repeat this procedure at the

opposite end of the chamber.

After you have tightened the compression nut 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 deionization, reverse

osmosis, or is distilled, cleaning may be required only once per year. If untreated water is used, the

cleaning frequency will vary. A minimum of once yearly is 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, turn power off, and at a

separate faucet or valve relieve the water pressure from the UV. Then disconnect the electrical service

to the lamp pins. Carefully remove the U.V. lamp. Loosen the end nut with O-Ring and remove the

quartz sleeve. 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(1)] every time a quartz sleeve is cleaned or replaced.

U.V. LAMPS:

INSTALLATION OF THE ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS:

**DO NOT PUT POWER ON AT THIS TIME!**

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

disinfection chamber.

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 lamp

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

gently slide the brass dust cap over the end nut, securing the lamp and protecting it from dust.

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 disinfection

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.

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

department or approved certified laboratory.

ELECTRICAL:

The Triton series are furnished with 6' line cord that will plug into a 110V outlet. Electrical receptacles

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 110V wall receptacle. View lamp

operation through safety Site Port lens. NOTE: Avoid exposing your eyes to U.V. light.
