CONNECTINg PRESSURE SWITCH

 Disconnect the power to the ULTRA
UV unit. Remove the cover and 
locate the pressure switch (Fig. 
5). Locate the lead with the female 
spade connector that comes up 
through a rubber grommet in the 
black metal plate (Fig. 6). Attach the 
female spade to the unpopulated 
male spade closest to the bottom 
plate on the pressure switch (Fig. 7). 
Then replace the cover and restore 
power to the unit. Look through the 
glow ring on the center of the unit 
to check that all lamps are lit. Never 
look directly at the lamps. Serious 
injury will occur. 

 SYSTEM  START-UP

 The quartz tube in the unit is fragile. To prevent damage to the quartz tube 
isolate the ULTRA UV with the recommended bypass valve then turn on the 
circulation system to ensure all debris is blown out of the plumbing. Open 
the bypass and check for plumbing leaks and/or leaks caused by damaged 
quartz tube. 

WATER CHEMICAL BALANCE
  

If you have installed your ULTRA UV unit on any water vessel other 
than fish ponds or ponds with live plants, it is important that you check 
and adjust the chemical balance of the water. The ULTRA UV unit 
dramatically reduces the need for chemical sanitizers, but a minimum 
sanitizer residual must be maintained. 

 UPgRADINg THE OUTPUT OF THE ULTRA UV UNIT

 One of the exclusive features of the ULTRA UV system is the ability to 
increase the UV output of the unit by adding additional lamps. Up to three 
additional lamps can be added to a single lamp system. This is accomplished 
easily by adding lamps and or adding additional ballasts and lamps.
