CAUTION: Always disconnect power to the AOP Pro prior to performing service.
4C. UV Reactor Service and Maintenance
• Each UV Reactor contains two UV lamps and two quartz tubes.
• The UV lamps are designed to provide proper germicidal efficacy for 16,000 hours.
• The UV lamps may continue to glow well beyond 16,000 hours but will not provide proper intensity and must be
replaced to ensure efficacy.
• The UV lamps are housed in a quartz tube. If the quartz tube becomes dirty, its ability to transmit UV rays from the
lamp will be diminished.
• The service interval for the quartz tube is dependent on pool water chemistry and some pools may require more
frequent cleaning than others.
• Initially, inspect the quartz tube after 750 hours of use and clean as needed. Subsequent cleaning intervals can be
increased or decreased based on the condition of the quartz tubes or observed water conditions.
4C-1. UV Lamp Removal
1. Remove the UV service access panel from the top of the enclosure.
NOTE:
The AOP Pro will not operate while the panel is removed.
2. After allowing adequate time for the UV lamps to cool, disconnect the UV lamp from the connector on the ballast.
3. Grasp the UV lamp wires and gently pull until the top of the UV lamp has pulled past the lamp retainer tabs.
4. Pull slowly on the white ceramic end of the UV lamp until the bottom has pulled past the lamp retainer tabs. If the
UV lamp is difficult to remove, use a slight twisting motion or remove the lamp retainer.
AVOID TOUCHING THE
UV LAMP GLASS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.
Oils on your hands can cause hot spots on the UV lamp and shorten
its life. Use a soft clean cotton cloth or clean cotton gloves to handle the UV lamp. Carefully place the UV lamp in a
clean, dry, and safe location. Clean the UV lamp if necessary with alcohol and repeat this process for the other UV
lamps.
