Disinfecting the Piping System with Chlorine:
1. Shut off the water to the inlet and outlet of the cartridge filter.
2. Remove the cartridge sump and empty all water. Fill with household
chlorine (Clorox, non-scented), 5.25% sodium hypochlorite.
3. Re-install the sump to the filter assembly and open the inlet and outlet
valves.
4. Open the cold water faucet at the furthest point in the piping until you
detect chlorine odor. Once the odor is detected, close that faucet.
Continue this procedure until the chlorine odor has been detected at
every faucet. If chlorine odor is not detected at all faucets, repeat steps
1 through 4.
5. Close ball valve on outlet of cartridge filter.
6. Allow the water to stand for at least (4) hours to kill the bacteria residual
in the piping system.
** No water should be used during disinfection. **
Final Check:
1. Open outlet ball valve on UV unit.
2. Make sure the MWC-E UV Unit is plugged into a surge protector (not
provided) then a dedicated electrical outlet with power 24 hours per day.
3. Check all piping for leaks, repair if necessary.
4. Open cold water lines and flush out until chlorine odor is no longer
detected.
Before consumption of water, an EPA Lab Test
is suggested.
