A Sterilight UV system is there to protect your water from pathogenic microorganisms, BUT there is the potential for harmful microorganisms to already be present in the water lines. The water lines then need to be disinfected upon installation of the UV system. A simple way to introduce a disinfectant (chlorine) into the lines is via the filter. Once the Sterilight system has been plumbed in simply remove the cartridge from the filter housing and fill the housing halfway with household bleach (bleach contains 5.25% chlorine). With the Sterilight system ON, turn the water on and ensure that at each and every tap a chlorine smell is detected. Leave the bleach in the lines for at least one hour. Drain the chlorine from the lines.
