Print Page11. Wrap the copper strap tight around the pipe or metal grounding rod with the sharp edges of the strap facing towards the item.
12. While keeping the strap tightly around the pipe or metal ground, align one of the holes in the strap with the long threaded
bolt, and tighten using a 7/16" wrench. (Note: As you continue to tighten the long threaded bolt it begins to press against the
end of the grounding strap & tighten the grip around the pipe or metal ground)
13. Next, insert the bare copper wire into the eye hole in the long threaded bolt, and using a 10mm wrench or universal pliers
tighten the small bolt down onto the copper wire. Ensure that the strap is securely fastened to the pipe and that the copper
wire is in contact with the small bolt.
14. Install one nut supplied in grounding kit on stud of water purifier chamber.
15. Take ring terminal wire assembly and slide onto stud. Slide lock washer over ring terminal.
16. Place other nut so that ring terminal and lock washer are between two nuts. Tighten nuts against each other
using a 7/16" wrench.
17. Using a Continuity Tester insures that continuity exists between the water purifier chamber and the pipe or metal ground.
Once completed the ground should appear as shown below.
18. Plug ballast into an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacle. Where a 2-prong or unprotected 3-prong
receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced by a properly grounded Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) receptacle.
Installation must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local codes and ordinances by a qualified
electrician.
19. Once the plumbing hook ups are made, it is a good practice to disinfect the "downstream" plumbing between the purifier and
point of use. This is done by introducing chlorine or other disinfectant solution directly into the purifier chamber, a 100-
ppm of chlorine is suggested. With the disinfectant solution in the purifier chamber, turn the ultraviolet purifier on. Open the
"downstream" outlet until a chlorine or disinfectant solution odor is noticed. Close the outlet and allow the disinfectant to
remain in the plumbing for at least three (3) hours. Flush the plumbing with ultraviolet purified water; allow the water to run
for a minimum of 5 minutes before use (to ensure no chlorine or disinfectant solution smell can be detected), this will allow
the chlorine or disinfectant solution to be flushed through the pipes.
CAUTION: For added protection, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the purifier. The drain pan must be
plumbed to an adequate, free flowing drain to prevent water damage in the event of a leak. There are numerous leak
detection/flood stop devices, available on the market today, designed to stop the flow of water, reducing the chance of
water damage due to leakage. For more details regarding leak prevention and/or limiting damages due to leaks, please
contact the factory.
