Ultra Violet Lamps Disinfection using ultraviolet (UV) light is recognised as the ecological choice in

disinfection techniques. UV effectively destroys microbiological contaminants without adding anything

to the water and creates no residual by-products. It is recommended that no rural surface waters be consumed without adequate

microbiological treatment, regardless of test results. Ultraviolet sterilisers incorporate natural ultraviolet light energy to eradicate

microbiological contamination. Ultraviolet sterilisers incorporate natural ultraviolet light energy to eradicate

microbiological contamination. High quality units are guaranteed to be virtually 100% effective against Spores,

Algae, Moulds, Viruses, a wide range of Bacteria, and even Giardia andCryptosporidium cysts.

Some UV units rely on 1micron filtration to reduce cysts – a less effective and unreliable method.

The Ultra violet unit has a stainless steel chamber and inside, a quartz sleeve -like a glass tube (that the UV bulb fits within), with the water swirling around it throughout the length of the unit.

The water enters near one end and exits near the other, treated and safe for use.

Ultra Violet Lamps The stainless steel unit is usually mounted in the pump shed or where the water enters

the property, so all water flows through the unit, thus every tap would be treated for microbiological contaminants and be safe for use.

Lamp can be changed without interrupting the water flow

A 5-micron filter cartridge is needed to ensure the water is clear enough for the Ultra Violet rays to penetrate the water to achieve the desired kill rates.Violet rays to penetrate the water to achieve the desired kill rates.

UV treatment does not reduce any chemicals or smell/taste.

If these contaminants are of concern you may consider an additional‘Big Blue’ housing fitted with a refillable carbon cartridge to treat all the water for the whole house, or an underbench water filter unit such as the “AQUA K” for food preparation, cooking and all drinks.

SpecificationsWater passed through the unit must fall

within the following parameters: Iron: <0.3mg/L Hardness: <120mg/L Turbidity: <1NTU Manganese: <0.05mg/L Tannins: <0.3mg/LTannins: <0.3mg/L UV Transmittance: >75% (call factory for

recommendations on applications where UVT <75%)

Where total hardness is less than 120mg, the UV unit should operate efficiently provided the quartz sleeve and/or sensor probe is cleaned periodically.

If total hardness is over 120mg the water should be softened

1. Assumes water does not contain any physical staining components which could potentially cloud the UV transmission

2. Protozoa – Giardia, Cryptosporidium etc

Flow Rate and UV DosageThe Dose rate is approximately 5 times greater than is required to destroy E.coli

Large Surface Type Filtration Complete with powder coated

mounting bracket, bolts, plus opening spanner.

Available in 10” or 20” with 1” ports Pressure release button to ease

opening of the housing during maintenance. Also to bleed air out on start-up.start-up.

Pleated Polyester FilterReusable/Washable (for coarse dirt loadings).

20 micron, 5 micron & 1 micron. Highly efficient pleated filter

cartridges for low pressure drop, high flow capability, increased dirt removal, long filter runs – which all adds up to the lowest cost per Litre filtered

Installation

Operational Maintenance and monitoring

UV has no residual effect – it only works while the organisms are in the reactive chamber

Upon commissioning, all downstream lines must be chemically disinfected Thereafter, periodic chemical disinfection as least once every 3 months should be

undertaken.

UV dosage is effected by poor transmittance of the light or sediment in the water

Ensure all pre-filters and conditioners are sized appropriately and regularly checked and cleaned or replaced as necessary

Periodically check quartz sleeve and clean as necessary Replace lamp every 12 months or 9000 hours

UV effectiveness is directly related to dosage (i.e. Contact time or organisms to the UV light)

Disinfection of LinesAfter the BB Housing and the UV Unit have been installed and are operating all downstream water lines must be

disinfected.If preferred and to save disinfecting the whole tank, a generous quantity of bleach can be poured into the BB Housing. The

Housing is then closed and water run through until chlorine is detected at each tap in the house. Close each tap and leave for as long as possible (preferably overnight) for the strong chlorine solution to disinfect all the water lines.

Open the taps and flush out the chlorine solution, with the UV treated water.Calculating Your Tank Volume:Square TankVolume in litres is equal to length x width x depth of water x 1000. (All measurements of tank dimensions should be made

in metres). For example, a cubic tank measuring 1m x 1m x 1m would have a volume of For example, a cubic tank measuring 1m x 1m x 1m would have a volume of

1 x 1 x 1 x 1000 = 1000 litres.Circular Tank:Measure the diameter and the depth of water. The tank volume in litres is equal to 0.785 x diameter x diameter x depth x

1000. For example a tank 1 metre in diameter and 1 metre deep would have a volume of

0.785 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1000 = 785 litres.

The disinfection Tables, can be used to calculate the amount of household bleach you would need. For example, a tank with a volume of 1000 litres requiring 5 g/m³ for disinfection purposes needs 167ml of plain

household bleach.

An accurate measure, such as a graduated measuring container, should be used to measure the bleach. As a rough guide, cups are approximately 250ml and milk bottles 600ml. A 167 ml measure is approximately two thirds of a cup.

After you have dosed your tank and mixed it well, the dosed water should be run through all your household lines so that thenewly disinfected water comes through the taps.

Disinfection Table To use Table

1. Calculate volume of tank in litres 2. Select dose rate required at top of the

table:*1 g/m³ routine disinfection for clean water*2 g/m³ routine disinfection for reasonably clean water *2 g/m³ routine disinfection for reasonably clean water

*5 g/m³ period disinfection for tanks and pipes

*10 g/m³ superchlorination for biological contaminated tanks. Remove contamination, allow water to sit for 24 hours before drawing. Boil before drinking

3. Read the amount of sodium hypochlorite (in millimeters) to be added where the dose required corresponds to the volume of the tank

4. Add required millilitres of fresh plain household bleach and mix thoroughly.

Maintenance Requirements 1 x Ultra Violet Lamp – replaced annually.

Big Blue filters 10” and 20” filters are replaced 6 monthly or Annually depending on the condition of the water.

Client Comments ‘We are enjoying the peace of mind knowing our water is free of nasties. Thanks again for

your professional service and thoughtfulness’. R&C Hinds ‘Thanks for the personal delivery and how quickly it was installed’. CA Christchurch ‘You have answered all my questions and obviously gone out of your way to get

information that’s was not readily available; you have backed up the claims for your products with the sort of technical explanation I prefer, you have been prompt and above all you haven’t been pushy. So if anyone asks I will be happy to give you a 100% endorsement. Some of your competitors haven’t even replied to my requests for information and its obvious that water quality is just a sideline for their business’. information and its obvious that water quality is just a sideline for their business’. MS Wakefield

about improving the quality of our drinking water from you well for our family. We found it a lot easier to have a plumber install our filter system. MG Christchurch

‘Happy to say that I was very impressed with the prompt and informative service and the high quality of the fixtures’. VC Christchurch

‘Fast efficient service. Particularly LOVE the addition of Paul to your team; he was great at installing the system’. RK Waiau

‘The water system is going well, no problems at all. The water is so much nicer to drink and clear compared with what it was. I certainly feel well and not so tired and sleeping much better. My daughter also seems a lot brighter’. K S Christchurch
