Safety & Electrical Connections
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT ALL
APPLIANCES IN THE POND FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE PUTTING YOUR HANDS IN THE
WATER WHILST EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED,
REPAIRED, MAINTAINED OR HANDLED.
The clear tube inside the unit is made from quartz glass
and care should be taken during installation and
maintenance. We recommend the use of eye protection
and suitable gloves.
The Vorton UVC is weatherproof but not submersible.
Position the unit horizontally near the pond but not
where it can fall into the water or become waterlogged.
Important: This product is designed to be permanently
wired to the mains supply. For connection to the mains
supply use only 3-core cable (ref HO5 RN-F). This has a
minimum copper cross-section of 0.75mm
2
with
Polycloroprene-Rubber insulation. The termination to
the mains supply should be:
a) Permanent.
b) Inside a dry weatherproof enclosure.
c) Through a double pole switched fused spur
to BS 3676.
d) Fitted with a 3 or 5 amp fuse.
Exposed cable runs should be sensibly positioned and
protected by armoured conduit, especially if there is a
risk of contact with gardening equipment such as forks
and lawnmowers, or children and domestic animals.
A 30mA maximum Residual Current Device (RCD) MUST
be fitted to the mains supply.
Permanent installations to the mains supply
(hard wiring), must conform to the National and Local
wiring regulations. If in any doubt about wiring to the
mains supply, consult a qualified electrician or local
electricity authority.
Protect from frost. In cold winter weather
(when fish are inactive and algae growth ceases) the
unit may be switched off. It should then be removed,
drained of water
Installing this product in the garden is classed as
‘notifiable’ in the Regulations for England and Wales.
The Regulations require you to tell your local
authority building control department that you
intend to install this product before installation. Your
local authority will let you know how you can get your

General Guidance
Performance - We recommend that for maximum
performance this product should be used with a Hozelock
Cyprio filter pump and filter. The unit should be run 24 hours
a day throughout the feeding season. Failure to do this
may result in green water and will invalidate the Clearwater
Guarantee.
Flow Rate - For best results the entire contents
of the pond should pass through the Vorton UVC every
1½ - 2½ hours. We recommend that your pump is sized to
supply the required flow rate against the full hydraulic head
(the vertical distance between the pond water surface and
filter inlet, plus an allowance of 0.6-0.9m, (2-3ft), for hose
friction losses).
Pressure Rating - These Vorton UVC models have a
maximum pressure rating of 0.7bar (or 7m, 0.07Mpa).
The unit is therefore unsuitable for filtration systems that
produce high levels of back pressure such as sand filters.
Pond Treatments - Some medications/ treatments can
degrade very quickly by UVC radiation. Switch off the unit
during disease treatment.
Extra care should be taken with any hose connections as
leaks will result in loss of water from the pond.
Spare Parts - Use only genuine Hozelock Cyprio
replacement parts.
Installation
The Hozelock Cyprio Vorton UVC can be added to most
filter systems before or after filtration, the effect is the
same. The water must be pumped through the unit - not
gravity fed. A typical installation is shown in fig. 1.
Location - the unit MUST be installed horizontally and
on a solid surface. The lid of a filter may be suitable if
sturdy enough.
