In this article, we’ll show you how to install a UV Guard Ultraviolet Light System to a Whole House Rain Water Tank Filter.

When installing a UV light to your Whole House system, the manufacturer recommends the UV light should be mounted horizontally, just above your Whole House system.

That being said, you can install the UV on the end in a vertical position too.

Perfect for DIY enthusiasts and those seeking reliable water filtration solutions!

 

Grab a highlighter and go through the instruction manual and highlight the important factors, before you start your installation.

Note: Before you put the holders into the wall, you need to ensure you give yourself enough room to install the thimble into the UV system.

      8. Carefully slide the thimble into the system ensuring the thimble goes into the socket on the other end.
      9. Slide the O-rings onto the end of your thimble and replace the locking nut, screwing it up as tight as you can by hand.
      10. Turn the water on and test for leaks.
