Dear Mike,
As you Know, I have been trying to obtain a health authority
for my property in Indian from the Municipal Health
Department for quite some time - since June 27th to be
exact.
As you also Know, the Health Department has refused to issue
the HAA citing the water system as being unacceptable. This
action is being taken despite the fact that this same system
was approved by the Municipality at the time of my purchase
of the property in 1781. The system has not deteriorated
since that time and the Municipal standards have 'not
changed. The source of the water remains a protected water
shed (Chuach State Park) unthreatened by development and two
seperate water samples have been submitted showing that the
water meets drinking water standards.
In short, nothing has changed since approval was granted 5
years ago yet I can not get that same approval.
Unable to get the Department to change their decision, on
August 12th I filed a request with the Director of the
Health Department for mn administrative hearing to appeal
the denial of the Health Authority.
Despite assurances that this request would be handled
expeditously, I was informed last Thursday that a hearing
had been scheduled for Sept. 24th. According to the
Municipal code (AMC 3.60), hearings requested under this
authority must be held no later then 30 days after the
written filing of request. This requirement has not been met
in this case.
I would point out that several correspondences were
exchanged in the interim between the Department and myself
in an attempt to resolve this issue. At no time did I
rescind my request for a hearing. In fact, I have reiterated
it to the Department and had been assured on three seperate
occassions that a hearing would be conducted during the week
o.F September 1st, Instead~ at the end of that weeK~ I was
informed of a three week delay.
I ~ish to protest this delay which has been taken solely for
the convenience of the Heath Department staff. It is not in
compliance with the 30 day requirement of the municipal
code. It adds another layer of frustration to an already
frustrating experience and drags out another three weeks a
process which began over two months ago.
Dealings with Hunicipal Agencies should not be such a
difficult and lengthly procedure. I would appreciate
whatever assistance your office could provide in resolving
this issue.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Patrick DurKin

Health Authority Approval Request
Dear Mr. Durkin:
This will respond to your letter dated August 14, 1986 concerning
the Health Authority Approval Certificate for the captioned property.
Your above referenced letter was discussed in detail at a meeting
between Jewel Jones, Dr. Rodman Wilson, Steve Morris, and the under-
signed. The following represents the unanimous conclusions resulting
from this meeting:
Your banker's attention should be directed to Section 5 of the
HAA Certificate, which was attested to by a "registered professional
engineer" as evidenced by the affixing of his stamp and signature
thereto. A portion of that which the engineer has verified states
"I verify that my investigation of this Health Authority Approval
shows the on-site water supply and/or wastewater disposal system
is safe, functional and adequate for the number of bedrooms and
type of structure indicated herein." This should have a positive
influence on the primary and secondary lending agencies.
As stated under Section 6 of the Health Authority Approval Certificate,
"The Municipality of Ancho. age, Department of Health and Environmental
Protection (DHEP) issue~ Health Authority Approval Certificates
based solely upon the representations given in paragraph 5 above
by an independent professional engineer registered in the State
of Alaska. The DHEP does this as a courtesy to purchasers of homes
and their lending institutions in order to satisfy certain federal
and state requirements. . . The Municipality of Anchorage
is not responsible for errors and omissions in the professional
engineer's work." While the MOA does not assume the responsibility
of or liability for the professional engineers work or conclusions,
it is the departments basic responsibility to enlighten the
lending agency and/or prospective future owners of any potential
threat to human health and wellbeing. It is for this explicit

reason that the comments were included in the closing paragraph
of our letter dated August 14, 1986 (which will be made a
condition of and attached to the HAA Certificate). It is for
the same reason that we agreed to grant the HAA Certificate under
certain terms and conditions one of which that our letter to Mr.
Durkin dated August 18, 1986 "be made a condition of and attached
to the Health Authority Approval Certifcate provided to the
financing entity."
A waiver will be granted by this office to the required setback
distance between your septic tank and the water supply source
(90 feet), and between your septic tank and the on-site pond
(57 feet).
The Health Authority Approval Certificate can and will be made
immediately upon your request. It would probably require thirty
minutes for us to com~ete the necessary paperwork and avail the
signed certificate to you.

RE: Health Authority Approval
USS 3200 Lot 3 - T 1ON R3W Section
Dear Mr. Robinson,
This letter s a follow up to our phone conversation
yesterday.
I have reviewed your letter of August 14th with my banker.
It is his opinion that the qualifications that are expressed
in that letter would make the HAA objectionable to any
lending institution. The terms of the letter therefore do
not provide an acceptable resolution of the situation for
I have included with this letter information on filtration
and disinfection equipment that I propose adding to my
existing system to address your concerns of possible
contamination of the water supply. The equipment consists of
a 1710 micron charcoal filter and an ultraviolet
sterilization system. The information on this equipment was
obtained from Dave Garness at Garness Industrial Inc. who
indicated he would be happy to discuss it with anyone from
your department should you require any further information
to satisfy your concerns.
The cost to install this equipment into my system will be
approximately $400.00 without accounting for any labor
costs. I am prepared to install this equipment at my own
expense without any claim against the Municipality relative
to their prior approval of the system without this
equipment. In order to do this, I would need to be assured
that upon satisfactory inspection I would recieve an HAA
unencumbered with any addit onal stipulations.
Since I am not out of compl ante with any Municipal or State
code and since this same system, in the same condition, has
prior approval from your department, I think my willingness
to make these upgrades at my own expense is more then
reasonable and I ask only that your department be reasonable
in return.
In his original correspondence on this matter dated duly
?th, Steve Morris states that " It is the policy of this
department to require minimum disinfection prior to approval
of any infiltration gallery system". Since the equipment
that ! propose installing exceeds the specifications that
you have set forth to me by way of defining 'minimum
disinfection' (.1 vs 5 micron filter), I suggest that their
installation should satisfy the policy requirements of your
department and I would hope that there would be no further
objections to issuing a HAA for this property.
Thank you for youp consideration.

Patrick DurKin

Subject: Health Authority Approval Request
USS #3200 Lot 3 - T10N R3W Section 6
Dear Mr. Durkin:
This will continue correspondance concerning your request for a Health
Authority Approval on the captioned lot ending with Mr~ Stephen Morris:s
letter dated August 7~ 1986. We have discussed your particular
circumstances with a number of people including the Alaska DEC and have
developed what we believe to be an acceptable and economical solution
thereto. Due to the fact that your property is located in a mountain
side area at the very end of an essentially rural road~ the water supply
facility could be likened to a remote rural area~ It is~ therefore, our
opinion that under your specific and unusual conditions~ an exception
can and will be made to our rather strict requirements concerning on-site
potable water supply. We~ therefore~ will grant the Health Authority
Approval you have requested, utilizing the open stream water supply
originating from an upstructure mountain side spring under the following
terms and conditions:
(1)
You immediately install a filtering system utilizing sand or other
filtering media which will provide effective filtration down to five
microns which is sufficient to remove any giardia lamblia organisms
which cound gain access into the open stream source.
(2) You immediately install a disinfection system approved by this
department.
(3) This letter be made a condition of and attached to the Health
Authority Approval Certificate provided to the financing entity.
Mr. Durkin

It must be clearly understood that the particular potable water system
is not ideal~ but under the existing conditions is probably safe. A
deep well source and conduited supply system would certainly be better.
The issuance of this Health Authority Approval does not in any way
guarantee nor imply that a Health Authority Approval will be issued for
this open stream potable water supply system in the future. We~ therefore,
strongly recommend that at some time in the future, the new o~.~er develop
a conventional on-site well system for this property.

Subject: Health Authority Approval Denial
USS #3200 Lot 3 (T10N R3W Section 6
Dear Mr. Durkin:
Your request for approval of the sewer and water facilities for the
subject lot has been denied. It is the opinion of this department
that the potable water system serving the subject lot is not adequately
protected from contamination° Although the water supply rises as a
spring in an undeveloped area (Chugach State Park),~it travels a
significant distance as a surface stream~ unprotected from outside
'sources of contamination. This surface water is vulnerable to direct or
indirect animal contamination. This water system cannot be approved
without a reliable method of disinfection°
The septic tank on the subject property is located within the required
100 foot setback of a creek and manmade pond on the property° The
topography of the subject lot is such that contamination of this water
course is extremely unlikely° (The septic tank is located downslope
from the creek.) !In this case the required 100 foot setback is unnecesary
~ ~0~ and a waiver of this requirement can be obtained°
In order to gain Health Authority Approval (HAA) of the sewer and water
facilities on this lot the water system must be upgraded. It is suggested
that the present system be abandoned in favor of a well located and
constructed to municipal standards° After the completion of an approved
water well a HAA will be issued along with waivers for the septic tank-
to-creek separation°

IV rr.D
Please let this serve as a formal request to be placed on
the agenda to appear before the Anchorage Municipal Assembly
at their meeting of August 5th.
I am in the process of trying to sell my house in Indian.
The water supply for this house is a spring-fed surface
water collection system that has been in use for over twenty
years. See the attached letter from the Municipal files ~for
a complete explanation of the nature of this system.
' I have been denied a health authority because the current
staff on the MOA Health Department feels there is a
potential for future contamination of the existing system.
This action has been taken despite the fact that the system
was aproved at the time I bought the house in 1981, that
standards have not changed, and that the system has not
deteriorated since the time of the last approval (all
required test results have been submitted to substantiate
that claim).
The engeneer who prepared my Health Authority request
stated i"WE feel that the risk to public health in this ~ ~.~ ~
situation is so Iow as to be non-existent in this case"._ ~ ~-~6~'~
I have tried to work with and through the Health Department ~Z~_~
for over a month without success. I believe their actions
have been arbitrary and capricious and I feel that the only
avenue for relief is through the Assembly.
Since I presently have an interested buyer for tis property,
time is of the essence in this matter. Therefore I emphasise
my request for an appearance at the earliest possible date,
preferably at the August 5th Assembly meeting.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Disapproval of Waiver Request
Dear Mr. Brockway:
This will furnish the background data and information which was the basis
for our denial of a waiver request to Mro Patrick ~urken on his potable water
source on the subject loto The subject potable water system is simply a
small shallow stream fed by and originating from a spring outflowing from a
bedrock outcropping located approximately 300 yards up-slope from the subject
residence° Mro Durken has made no effort to conduit or otherwise protect the
water course from contamination~ nor to provide filtration and/or sterilisation
of the water in the gallery system° The subject water course is vunerable to
animal contamination from either direct contact or runoff° During the past several
years it has become more the norm than the exception to have Giardia lamblia (the
organism which causes giardiasis or "beaver fever") in the lakes, streams and
creeks within the State° It is our opinion that the subject potable water source
is extremely vulnerable to contamination which would pose a health threat to
the users thereof° Mr° Durken points out that his water source is one and the
same as it was in 1981 at which time he purchased the property after r~seiving
a Health Authority Approval Certificate from this office° This indeed is fact;
however~ we are of the opinion that that the approval should never have been
granted° We believe that the MOA would be exposed to a very high degree of
liability if we were to approve the waiver, issue the Health Authority Approval
Certificate, and the users subsequently .become ill from the contaminated water°
"Two wrongs do not make a right," and we therefore have denied Mr° Durken's
original request and his subsequent appeal°

Health Authority Approval and Waiver Request, WR86-090
Dear Mr. Cords:
This department cannot issue a Health Authority Approval(HAA) for the
subject lot with the existing water supply system. It is the policy of
this department to require minimum disinfection prior to approval of any
infiltration gallery system. Furthermore, prior to approval, as-builts
of the existing system should be submitted for review. These as-builts
should demonstrate that the water source is adequately protected from
animal contamination and provisions for eliminating intermittent turbidity
problems (a sand filter, for example) are included in the gallery system.
It should be noted that even if the above requirements are satisfied
waivers of setback requirements between the stream and septic system would
still be needed. Both the State and Municipality have been extremely
reluctant to grant waivers to surface waters.

their judgement the existing system has a potential for
future health problems. Other then a preference for wells,
they have not cited any particular aspect of th s system to
substantiate that concern.
In arguing for approval I would offer the follow
factors and would cite a letter dated Hay 8, 1981

State health codes allow for a surface water
system as long as the source originates in a
protected watershed area, in this case, Chugach
state parK.
The system capacity (2.8 gallons per minute) is
nearly 10 times the well flow capacity required
by the Municipality for a three bedroom system.
Two recent bacteria tests - one taken in January
and the other in June - show that the water
meets MOA drinking water standards.
The system has been in use without fail for over
twenty years.
The Hunicipality approved the system as it
exists at the time of my purchase of the
property in 1981. There has been no code change
or system deterioration since that time.
The property can not be sold or financed

Waiver Request, WR86-131
Dear Mr. Cords:
This department has reviewed your request for a waiver of tie 100 foot
separation required between the septic system and water course on the '
subject lot. The septic tank and absorption field are located 57 and
85 feet respectively, from a small pond on the property. Because this
pond and water course are located upslope from the septic system and the
relatively dense, fine grained soils characteristic of this area~
contamination of this water course is unlikely.
The minimum separation distances.required between the water course
and septic system are hereby waived in this case.
This waiver is valid for the existing septic system only. This waiver
shall not apply to enlargements or upgrades of the present system.
Future approvals may require that the septic tank be inspected to insure
that it remains a watertight vessel.

Re: USS 3200, Lot 3, Section 6, T10N, R3W, S.M.
Dear Steve:
Our office is requesting a waiver of the separation distance from'the
on-site sewer system and the creek on this property. Enclosed find a
site plan, two letters from your department for approval of use of the
water supply source, two satisfactory bacteriological water analysis
results, a soil log and the as-built of the on-site sewer system.
BACKGROUND:
The water supply source for the subject dwelling is a natural water
course flowing from north to south emptying into the Turnagain Arm of
the Cook Inlet approximately a mile away. The septic system is located
downstream of the water supply source and is also about 5 feet ii1
elevation below the stream and pond. Drainage for the lot is from north
to south and prevents surface runoff from entering the watercourse at
the point o£ water supply. Surface drainage does not approach the
stream for several hundred feet downstream of the sewer system.
The property was purchased by the current owner in 1981 and Lhe pond was
existing at that time. A 2 inch X 6 inch board serves as a dam in the
stream to make the pond and has been this way for a number o~ years.
Ducks, aud undoubtedly other water fowl, now use the pond. Removal of
the dam would be considered unsound environmentally.
The date of installation of the water supply system is unknown. The
on-site septic system was installed in ~ay of 1981 and is performing
satisfactorily. Two Bacterialogical Water Analyses have been performed
this year with satisfactory results. The soil log shows a soil rating
~'of 865 sq. ft./bedroom which will provide adequate filtering & treatment
of the septic tank effluent. Letters of approval from your department
dated May 5, and May 8, 1981 show a good understanding of the nature of
the water source and supply system.
CONCLUSION:
The water source is a government protected watershed showing no
contamination to date. The s t~ tank is a roximatel 90 feet from
the water sm, 1~ ~d shown on the s~?.~plan.
The pond is downstream of the water supply source and higher in
1200 ~Jesl 33r~1 ~uenu¢, Suile ~;, Anchoro9¢, Alosk~ 99503, (907) 561-50Z10
elevation than the septic system. The absorption area is approximately
100 and 120 feet from the pond and water supply source respectively.
Based on the above outlined facts this office requests that the 100 foot
separation distance from the water supply source and the pond from the
septic tank be waived to 90 and 57 feet respectively.
We feel that the risk to public health in this situation so low as to be
non-existent in this case~ ~--~ Yk~O~ ~_~
Should you have any questions please feel free to call us.

The disinfection equipment that is required by yoar office has been installed
and is functioning properly. Two water samples were taken on January 6, 1987,
one before the treatment and one after the treatment. Both samples arb free of
coliform bacteria. Enclosed is a schematic drawing showing the valves, tanks,
pump, filter and ultraviolet disinfection unit. Also enclosed is related
iaformation pertaining to the filter and ultraviolet disinfection unit.
We would like to mention that since the original installation of the water
gallery collection system, approximately 20 years ago, no incident of water line
freeze up has occured. Also note the water line is heat traced. We feel than
any freeze up would be very ualikely. All of the additioual requirements bave
been fufilled in the agreement between Patrick Durkin, owner, Lot 3, USS 8200,
and the Municipality of Anchorage. We therefore request that Health Authority
Approval be g~ven for the subject lot.

If gou own a spa that is used by children,
friends and/or neighbors and !,'ou've been
worrgin§ about the possibility of getting an
infection or even disease from someone else--
this unit .uifl give you peace of mind. Although
the chances are slim, it is possible to become
infected with various viruses or disease-causing
bacteria from your spa water, and thus Delstar
was designed !o "sterilize" gout spa or hot
tub water.
The Delstar sterilizer utilizes a teflon-coated
ultraviolet light encased rvithin a b~pass flow
chamber that connect~ into'~our spa plumb/n/]
and therebg exposes the,valet passin§ through
the chamber to an iatense ultraviolet light.
Docmnented hospital studies have long proven
that nltraviolet light sterilizatioa is one of the
most effective wagg of combatting bacteria and
viruses in hospital hgdro-therapg baths,
Delstar can be hard-plumbed into gout aew
spa or hot tub or easil9 retrofitted into an
existing spa. It hooks up to ~our ll0V time
clock and operates automaticall~ alon§ with
~our pmnp arid filter s~stem. The UV lightbulb
lasts from four to five gears with normal use
and is easilg replaced.
~3[~ecifications
Water rio,us through the Delstar bgpass al
approximately 10 gallons per minute, exposinfl
the water to 22,000 microwatt seconds per
centimeter squared of ultraviolet light energ9.
In a standard size spa, this means that all of
the water in pour spa will pass throuflh the
Detstar twice every hour qf operatioo, virtually
assuring you disease-free water! Suggested
retail price is $299.95.

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE DEL-ZONE
Q. How much ozone is produced and is it safe?
A, The Del-Zone ~s rated for a maximum ozone output
of 5 grams per hour. Most of it will return to oxygen
if unused, within 20 to 30 minutes. So, at any given
instan~ it is virtually impossible to have more thaw
two grams of ozone dissolve in the average spa
Because the concentrations produced are so small,
the ozone is actually safer than chlorine.
Q. What size spa will the Del-Zone handle?
A. The Del-Zone is effective for spas up to 1500 gal-
Ions. The typical portable spa is 250 gallons, typical
)n-ground spa is 350 gallons, and the average larg~ .
wooden hot tub is about 750 gallons.
Q. My ~pa is small. Will the Del-Zone distribute too
much ozone?
A. No. It is impossible to over-ozonate. Even in a large
bath tub of about 100 gallons, the ozone concentra-
tion will not rise above about 0.3 parts per million~
a safe, effective level
Q. Does ozone completely eliminate chlorine?
A. In nearly all cases, yes. The ozone output varies
with weather conditions and every spa has a dif-
ferent flow pattern and capacity. The vast majority
qf spas will req ~ ire no chlorine, bromine or other
chemicals.
Q. What about other chemicals?
A. Ozone is a neutral pH compound, so no pH control
is normally re(; uired. Also, ozone is very effective in
oxydizing all organic molecules present in the spa
such as body oils, suntan lotion, and urine. These
organic materials are what make up the foam scum
often seen on the surface of the water in frequently
used spas. Ozone will brea[~ down and destroy
that foam.
Q. How does the Del-Zone install?
A. It may be mounted in any convenient location near
the spa or under the skirt on portable models. The
ozone delivery tube is then plumbed to the spa's air
venturi or return water system at any convenient
location. The spa's pump action will draw ozone
into the spa water as small bubbles appearing in
the spa jets.
Q. How do I know if my Del-Zone is working?
A. Check the indicator light on the Del-Zone label.
A purple glow can be seen when the bulb is lit.
As long as bubbles are appearing from at least one
spa jet, with the venturi air valve closed, and the
Del-Zone light is on, the ozonator is silently doing
its job.
Q. What happens if it stays on overnight?
A. Testing in Del Industries' laboratory has shown that
even in a small spa the Del-Zone can safely run for
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Q. Does the Del-Zone require maintenance?
A. There is virtually no maintenance required. There
are no moving parts and nothing to adjust. The
only user-serviceable part is a UV lightbulb, which
should last years in normal operation.
Q. Is there an ozone test kit available?
A. Yes. Ozone test kits are available. Call or write Del
Industries for details (see parts list pg. 13).
Q. Will a spa cover affect Del-Zone's operation?
A. No. A spa cover is used to prevent heat loss and
keep the spa clean and will not affect the operation
of the Del-Zone.
Q. What is the warranty on the Del-Zone?
A. If your Del-Zone ozone sterilizer fails* within one
year of your purchase, we will replace your Del-
Zone ozone sterilizer absolutely free. After one
year, you are still covered by Del Industries'
5 year limited warranty.
*Bulb not covered under warranty.
ULTRA-VIOLET, ANOTHER HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE FOR SPA
STERILIZATION.
Chlorine requires a precise chemical balance for it to
be effective against bacteria and virus. This balance is
difficult to maintain in a spa due to the relatively Iow
water volume and frequent osage. Recently, ultra-violet
has been introduced to the home spa market as
another practical, medically-proven method for keep-
~ng spa water germ-free.
THE DEL-STAR: THE FIRST COST
EFFECTIVE ULTRA-VIOLET SYSTEM
FOR THE SPA INDUSTRY.
Del Industries has developed a second new alternative
for keeping spa water clean.., the Del-Star. This system
utilizes a teflon-coated, ultra-violet light of sufficient
intensity to kill all common bacteria and virus. The I~ulb
operates on 110 VAC and draws just 25 watts, approx-
imately 0.2 amps.
Water flows'through the Del-Star bypass exposing the
water to 22,000 microwatt seconds per square centi-
meter of ultra-violet light energy. In a standard-sized
spa this means that all of the water will pass th rough
the unit twice every hour of operation, leaving it
virtually germ-free.
The Del-Star is installed as a bypass unit in the return
line of the spa and wired to the pump circuit, so that
whenever the pump is on, the Del-Star is working. It
is readily installed on both a 110V or 220V portable,
as well as on 110V or 220V in-ground spas. It is also
available in a 238V 50 Hz model for the export market.
ADVANTAGES OF DEL-STAR
1. Reduces chemical usage,
2. The Del-Star automatically produces ultra-violet
. light at a Iow lifetime cost.
~ 3. Installationissimple,
· 4. Long bulb life.
5. Virtually maintenance-free.
il. Proven effective against a broad spectrum of
bacteria and virus.
- 7. Lowinitialcost.
SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE DEL-STAR
'Q. Does Ihe Del-Star eliminate the use of chemicals?
A. No. The Del-Star sterilizes only the water passing
through it and leaves no germicidal residual in the
spa tub where algae and bacterial colonies may
grow. Small amounts of hydrogen peroxide will be
required occasionally.
Q. If chemicals are still necessar~ then what purpose
does the Del-Star serve?
A. Because of the small volume and heavy contam-
ination level of spas, the chemical balance is easily
toppled so that hearty bacteria and virus can read-
ily develop into chemicals resistant varieties that
can even live in a fairly well-maintained spa. A
common variety today is Pseudomonis, an infec-
' tious bacteria that can survive even chlorine shock
treatments. No bacteria can survive the ultra-violet
energy generated by the Del-Star unit. The chlo-
rine, bromine or hydrogen peroxide is free to do
what it does best.., fight algae while the Del-Star
handles the rest.
Q. How does the Del-Star install?
A. The Del-Star is easily installed into any spa by
simple connections to your existing spa plumbing
system. It is installed on the return fine after the last
piece of equipment in the spa operating system.
Q. Is it necessary to sterilize the entire flow?
A. No. If 10 gallons per minute of water is run through
the Del-Star, a 300 gallon spa will be fully sterilized
in 30 minutes. The time required for bacteria to
culture is far longer than 30 minutes.
Q. What type of electrical connections are required?
A. The Del-Star is simply wired to the spa's circulation
pump so that whenever the pump is on, the Del-
Star is on. All wiring should be done by a qualified
technician.
Q. Is it expensive to run?
A. No. The Del-Star draws a mere 25 watts of electrical
power. This means it will operate for pennies a
month.
Qo
Q. How long should it run?
A. The Del-Star should operate at least ~wo hours per
da~ one hour in the morning, one hour in the
evening.
Q. My spa runs $ hours per day. Is that too much?
A. No. The Del-Star can operate as much as 24 hours
per day, every day, with only beneficial results.
Q. Is it true that ultrawiolet light will harm your eyes?
A. Yes. Just like looking at the sun or at ~ welding arc,
looking at an ultra-violet light is harmful to your
eyes. The Del-Star is totally sealed so ~hat no
harmful ultra-violet light can escape~
Will the Del-Star require maintenance;t
There is virtually no maintenance required. There
are no moving parts and nothing to adjust.
How do I know if it's operating?
The red indicator light on the base of the Del-Star
is an indicator of whether the bulb is operating. It
works like a warning light in an automobile when
a failure occurs. The light illuminates, letting you
know something is wrong. Often, the pre-heater
which starts the bulb takes several seconds to
operate so the light may stay on after the unit is
switched on for up to a full minute. This is normal.
As long as the light is off, power is getting to the
DeI-Starand it is operating silently and efficiently,
killing all bacteria, virus and other harmful micro-
organisms.
Q. What is the warranty on the Del-Star?
A. If your'Del-Star ultra-violet sterilizer fails* due to a
defect in material or workmanship within one year
of your purchase, we will repair or replace your
Del-Star free of charge. If your Del-Star fails after
the fi rst year you are still covered by the Del
Industries' 5 year limited warranty program.
*Bulb not included in warranty.
THE COMBINATION USE OF
OZONE AND ULTRA-VIOLET
FOR SPA HYGIENE. :
While most of our customers select either the Del-Zone
generator or the ultra-violet Del-Star unit for their spas,
a growing number are electing to use the Del-Zone in
conjunction with the Del-Star. This combination is most
commonly found in commercial and medical applica-
tions, and in homes where the spa is used frequently by
more than four people.
By combining ozone and ultra-violet systems, steriliza-
tion efficiency increases greatly and protection is pro-
vided from a broader spectrum of bacteria and virus.
For the spa owner who wants the best available, this is
just the right combination.
Special note: When installing both units in combina-
tion refer to DIA V pg. 10.

STEP3
Cut a small section out of your return line just
large enough to insert one "T" connector.
Cement into place and cbnnect and cement
the 1 "Del-Star flow line as shown below.
STEP 4 If your return line is other than 11/2", you will
need to cut a short section of 11~" pipe to
place in the '~" so that it can be connected
to the enclosed Del Check Valve* positioned
half way between the two 1" Del-Star flow
Fines. Cement into place.

*Make sure the check valve is positioned in
the proper flow position as indicated bythe
water flow arrow.

STEP 5
With the Del Check Valve positioned half way
between the two Del-Star flow lines, cut and
install the second "T" directly in line with the
other Del-Star 1' supply line. Then insert and
reconnect the input side of the water return
line as shown below.

STEP 6
STEP 7
Have a qualified electrician wire unit
into your spa's electrical system. For
optional 2 speed operation obtain relay
unit shown in DIAVI pg. 10.
Fill spa to normal operating level and turn on
electrical power and pump and cbeck
the red indicator light.
If the light blinks on and you have normal
water flow, your Del-Star is operating nor-
mally and actively killing bacteria and virus as
they flow through the unit. The red light will
go off shortly and only come on again to
indicate failing bulb.
NOTE: Because the ultrawiolet light is only
exposed to the water as it flows past the bulb,
it is recommended that you apply an appro-
priate amount of an oxidizing agent on a
weekly basis to sterilize elements which will
not be picked up in the normal filter cycle,
unless you am using a Del-Zone unit along
with your Del-Star.

Subject: Health Authority Approval for USS #3200 Lot 3
T10N R3W Section 6
Dear Mr. Durkin:
Following our meeting on September 17, 1986, we agreed that the department
could write a Health Authority Approval under certain stipulations. These
stipulations are:
You will proceed with installation of an approved filtration and
disinfection unit, and will provide the department with a copy of
the maintenance instructions for the units.
Develop a "waiver of liability" which will relieve the Municipality
of any and all liability for failure of the water system. This
waiver must be recorded and we will need a conformed copy prior to
granting the Health Authority Approval.
At the time the HAA is requested, provide a new inspection of the
sewer and water facilities. We will require a water sample taken
upstream from the disinfection unit as well as a sample from the
house.
Mr. Patrick Durkin
USS #3200 Lot 3
September 22, 1986
Page Two
The final approved HAA will have this language added to the form:
"This Health Authority Approval is valid provided the required
disinfection and filtration units are operated and maintained
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Failure
to do so will void this document."
Provided these stipulations are met, we will sign your HAA when you are
ready. As per your phone ~uest on September 18, 1986, the Administrative
Hearing set for September 24 has been cancelled.

RECEIVED.
This is to confirm our- phone conversation regarding the
above referenced Heal th Authority.
I am prepared to agree to the terms you outlined in our
meeting of Sept.17th in order to resolve the issue
s0rrounding my water system. Namely, I will hold the
Municipality of Anchorage harmless for any failure or health
related problem that may result from the use of the gallery
collection system that currently serves the subject
property. This actio~ will be formalized in a ducument that
will be recordbd and will run with the property.
In return, the Municipal Health Department wit1 approve the
system without condition after the agreed upon -~iltration
and disinfection equipment has been installed. Further, the
Municipality wilt not restrict the issuance of subsequent
HAA's for this system provided the water source continues to
meet the Municipal standards for quality.
Based on this 'meeting of the minds'~ I withdraw my
for an administrative hearing and ask that you take
steps necessary to cancel the hearing that had been
scheduled for Sept. 24th.

Although this water supply is not a normal system, but
because it was tested and shows no bacteria and because
the water supply eomes directly from a State Park, we will
