MWC-EM FACTS SHEET

  

 

IMPORTANT  

 

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 

 

All MWC-SERIES UV Systems must be grounded! The green 14# copper wire 

coming out of the power supply must be grounded to the UV Vessel! Attach the 

copper wire to the grounding lug to the upper mounting bracket and tighten the 

screw.   

 

CAUTION:

 

 

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT WITH THE NAKED EYE.  

View through a 

piece of ordinary glass or optical glasses.  

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

 may cause eye irritation if eye is not 

properly protected.  You should never have to look directly at the 

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

 when installing 

or trouble-shooting one of our MWC-E Water Sterilizers. 

Pre-Treatment: 

 

A complete water test is recommended to determine if pre-treatment equipment is required before 

installation of the UV unit.  

Water must

 

meet criteria below: 

 

Untreated Water Quality  

Maximum Allowable Level 

 

 

Chloride   

 

 

 

 250.00 ppm 

 

Color 

 

 

 

 

    0.00 units 

 

Hardness  

 

 

 

    8.00 gpg 

 

Iron 

 

 

 

 

    0.30 ppm 

 

Manganese 

 

 

 

    0.05 ppm 

 

pH 

 

 

 

 

  6.0 to 8.5 

 

 

Total Dissolved Solids 

 

 

500.00 ppm 

 

Turbidity   

 

 

 

    5.00 ntu 

 

If untreated water quality exceeds the maximum allowable levels specified, this will result in 

bacteria passing through the UV unit and into the piping system. 

 

Unit Location: 

 

1.  

The MWC-EM unit must be installed after the well tank and any  

 water pre-treatment equipment (softeners, filter, etc.).  You must  

 install a Cartridge type Dirt Filter before the MWC-E unit to  

 eliminate the possibility of a dirt build-up inside the stainless  

 steel sterilization chamber.  

(SEE PAGE 2, PIPING LAYOUT) 

 2.  Install at least 4 feet from a dedicated electrical outlet. 

 

DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEATING SYSTEMS WHICH RAISE 

THE AIR TEMPERATURE OVER 100 DEGREES.
