OPERATION
Prior to drinking water from the unit, ush unit for ve minutes.
To operate the unit, simply turn on the cold water faucet and pull the
diverter valve plunger outward (Figure 11). To
bypass the unit, push the diverter valve inward.
You will observe the following when the
Sterilight unit is operating properly:
1. Once ow is established, the UV lamp will
turn on and become fully bright and steady
within the rst second of operation.
2. Water enters the unit at the bottom where it
is mixed with ozone, forming a Sterilight of
swirling bubbles and a swooshing sound.
3. Any ozone left following the patented
ozone/UV photo-oxidation process is reconverted to oxygen in the
lter element. Water leaving the unit is fully treated and mixed
with air and the reconverted ozone. The air will appear as tiny
bubbles, sometimes giving the water an initial cloudy appearance.
After sitting for a minute or so,
all of the bubbles will rise to the surface and disperse, leaving the
water crystal clear.
4. Because of the trapped air, the water outlet from the unit will
occasionally sputter, particularly at start-up.
2. If the diverter supplied with the unit will
not attach directly to your faucet, install the
adapter. When done, or if the adapter is not
needed, connect the Sterilight unit diverter
valve assembly to the faucet (Figure 10).
3. Plug the power supply into an
available outlet.
The outlet MUST always have power
available. Do not plug the unit into an outlet
that can be switched on or off.
The unit is now ready for operation.
