6. The housing (D) can now also be cleaned. This can be done with a brush, but do not use any chemicals at all.
7. After cleaning, replace the quartz glass (K) in the housing (D). Make sure that the O-ring (M1 & M2) and the
quartz glass (K) fit properly.
8.
Insert the UV-C lamp (J) into the lamp holder (L) and slide the assembly further into the quartz glass (K).
9.
Hand-tighten the nut (N) back onto the housing (D). (See also point 9 under Installing the appliance).
10. To replace the copper unit (S) (see drawing X), unscrew and disconnect the cable connector. Then unscrew the
coupling (T) on the underside of the unit. Carefully remove the copper unit (S). Then insert a new copper unit into
the appliance and reconnect the wiring using the cable connector (U).
Attention: This can only be connected in one way.
11. Only after replacing the UV-C lamp (J) should the unit be reset. To do this, the button (V) on the electronic
ballast (R) must be held down for 5 seconds. After this, the green light will light up again.
Note: When replacing the housing and/or the electronic ballast, the earthing of the appliance must be completely
disconnected. The loose parts must be kept, as they are not supplied as standard with a new, loose housing or
ballast.
USE
After installation of the Filtreau UV-C Copper Ionizer, the UV-C lamp switches on immediately after the plug is
inserted into the power outlet. Before switching on the appliance, test the water for the current copper value of
your water. The ideal copper value is between 0.4 and 0.7 ppm. You can test this with the supplied test strips.
The copper unit (S) is switched on by briefly pressing the button (V) on the ballast (R) (see drawings 2 & 3).
By briefly pressing the button again, you can determine the desired power output so that the copper output can
be increased or decreased. The factory set power is always 0%.
No LED = 0% (disabled)
1st LED = 30%1st + 2nd LED = 60%1st +2nd +3rd LED = 100%
The right power to start with depends entirely on the volume of water and the result of the test strip you used for
the first water test.
If, after the first test, the copper content is too low, press the button (V) on the ballast (R) to increase the power.
Test the water again after a week and if the test strip still shows a low copper value, increase the setting again.
If the test strip has the correct value of 0.4 to 0.7 ppm, you do not need to change anything. If the copper value is
too high, switch off the power so that no more copper is released to the water. When you test the water again after
1 week, you will see from the result of the test trip whether you can switch the copper unit back on again.
By constantly testing and adjusting the copper unit (S) higher or lower, you will eventually achieve the right copper
balance in your pool.
When the appliance is switched off, you are still required to test the water with the test strips provided. The position
the copper unit was set to before it was switched off is remembered.
In the first month of use, you should test the pool water every week until you reach the desired balance.
After a month, you can reduce testing to once every 2 weeks. You can also test the PH value with the test strips.
A PH value of between 7.0 and 7.6 is the most ideal value for copper electrolysis.
Chlorine may be used if desired, although this can be a very low dose as the Filtreau UV-C Copper Ionizer already
does the disinfecting work of chlorine. When using chlorine, it is important that you always use inorganic chlorine -
calcium hypochlorite - HTH chlorine (granules, sticks or pills) in combination with an ionizer. Other chlorine types do
