As an ultraviol€t tIV treatment unit does not intoduce
any chemical residue within the water, it is desirable to
install the unit as close as possible to the point ofuse in
order to avoid potential recontarnination by discharge
pipes, fittings, etc. The base ofthe lry treatinent udt
should be momted on suitable support to avoid undue
strain on the tmit or your related pipes and fittings.
The UV unit should be installed after all other water
conditioning equipment and as close to the end point of
use as possible. For example, it should not be installed
in a remote well house; it should be installed at the
house. Iffiltration or other water tIeatulellt equipment is
installed, the UV unit must be installed after all such
equipment.
