5.1 Lamp Installation and Replacement
WARNING: The lamp heats up after continuous use and can burn your skin if
touched. Allow lamp to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing. Do not operate
the UV lamp outside of the reactor. The lamp in the unit emits Ultraviolet light that
can cause permanent damage to skin and eyes. Never look at the lamp when the unit
is turned on. Handle the UV lamp by the ends only. Do not touch the bulb of a lamp
with your fingers. If the surface of the lamp becomes dirty, use a clean lint-free cloth
and glass cleaner to remove the dirt.
Your vitapur UV disinfection system is equipped with a visible / audible lamp failure
®
indicator. In the event of a failure of the UV lamp, the red LED light will flash and a
loud beeping will be audible from the electronic ballast of the unit. Please note that
if these conditions occur and you are on a non-municipal supplied water source, you
should immediately stop using the water for potable applications until the lamp is
replaced and disinfection of the distribution lines is completed.
The ultraviolet lamp has an approximate life of one year (9000 Hrs.). Replacement
UV lamps and quartz sleeves are available from an authorized retailer and Greenway
Home Products. Use only vitapur lamps and sleeves to ensure system performance.

• Remove the connector from the end of the UV lamp.
• Remove the UV lamp from the quartz sleeve by gently rotating the lamp free. Be
sure to hold the lamp only by the ceramic tips.
• Insert the new UV lamp into the quartz sleeve and attach the connector.
• Refill the UV chamber by opening the water supply just enough to fill the chamber
with water.
• Check the system for leaks.
• Ensure that the UV lamp is operating – the green power LED light should be
illuminated, the red lamp failure LED light should be off and no audible alarm
should be active.
Mineral deposits and sediment build-up on the quartz sleeve will affect the system
performance by decreasing the UV light transmitted through the quartz sleeve into
the water column.
The proper maintenance and replacement of the pre-filtration required for the UV
system will reduce the accumulation of mineral and sediment residue on the quartz
sleeve.
The quartz sleeve may be cleaned with a commercially available, non-abrasive, scale
remover (should be acidic) and a lint free cloth. Cleaning of the quartz sleeve should
be done on a regular basis to ensure maximum system performance. The amount of
cleaning required will vary dependant upon local water conditions.
All traces of the cleaning solution must be fully removed from the sleeve before it is
reinstalled in the system. Care should be taken to prevent any cleaning fluid from
coming into contact with the inside surface of the quartz sleeve.
Procedure for Removing / Installing the Quartz Sleeve:
• Turn off the water supply at both ends of the system.
• Unplug the unit.
• Drain water from the Stainless Steel UV Chamber.
• Allow at least 5 minutes for lamp to cool.
• Remove the connector from the end of the UV lamp.
