3.2 Disinfection Procedure
UV disinfection is a physical disinfection process and does not add any potentially harmful chemicals to the water. As UV
does not provide a disinfection residual, it is imperative that the entire distribution system located after the UV be chemically
disinfected to ensure that the plumbing system is free from any bacteriological contaminants. The disinfection process must
be performed immediately after the UV unit is installed and repeated thereafter whenever the UV is shut down for service,
without power, or inoperative for any reason. The procedure for sanitizing the plumbing system is readily accomplished as
follows:
1
• Ensure only the controller
plug is plugged in for entire
disinfection process.
