INSTALLATION OF THE UV STERILIZER
1.
Follow all safeguards and warning
2.
Since the ultraviolet light does not come with a pump, a water supply
needs to be installed. To do this a powerhead, external water pump or a
canister filter can be used. The pump supplying water to the ultraviolet
sterilizer must be pre-filtered. Pre-filtering the water will limit buildup on
the quartz sleeve thus allowing maximum UV penetration.
3.
Use the chart provided for optimum performance. Note: Slow water
flow (GPH) will increase the duration the water will be in contact with
ultraviolet radiation. The only variable which increases contact time is the
speed of water flow (GPH) not the way water is channeled in the reaction
chamber.
4.
Find a place for the ultraviolet chamber where as it can not come in
contact with water and when the tubing is installed there will not be any
kinks in the tubing.
5.
Installation for inline applications: Model number 9w, 13w, 24w, 36w and
55w.
a.
Place the UV in an area where as it will not come in contact with
water or in direct contact with elements, such as rain, direct sunlight,
or flooding.
b.
Now install the barbed tubing fittings.
6.
Place the gasket onto the flange of the barbed tubing fittings. The use of
silicone o-ring lubricant aids in creating a good seal.
7.
Place the barbed tubing fitting/gasket onto the threaded opening on the
ultraviolet chamber. Now slide the threaded nut over the barbed tubing
fitting and tighten. Hands tighten only. If the threaded nut is to tight the
fitting may leak.
8.
Repeat step 2 for the discharge. Do not reduce the discharge tubing. The
discharge tubing must be at least as large as the intake tubing.
Note: When using larger tubing it may be necessary to saw off the smaller adapters.
A. Secure the flexible tubing with hose clamps.
B. Turn on water supply.
C. Plug the ultraviolet sterilizer into a GFCI electrical outlet only.
