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.
SCHEDULED UV LAMP(S) REPLACEMENT PR0CEEDURE
The UV lamps have a useful life of approximately 13,000 hours and should be replaced at that time. Even though
the lamp(s) may be glowing after 13,000 hours of operation they have reached the end of their useful life.
1. Turn off all power to the ULTRA UV unit and all other pool equipment. Unplug the unit from its
power receptacle or turn OFF the circuit breaker that is the ULTRA UV’s power source. Before
proceeding to step 2 allow at least 15 minutes for the bulbs in the unit to cool off.
2.
NEVER REMOVE THE ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE COVER WITHOUT FIRST
UNPLUGGING OR TURNING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER (POWER SOURCE) FOR
THE ULTRA UV UNIT. NEVER REMOVE THE ULTRA UV UNIT’S COVER WITHOUT
TURNING OFF THE PUMP. Remove the three screws on the plastic cover and lift up on the
cover to remove. (Fig. 1)
3. With the cover off unplug the lamp connectors from the lamps by pressing the release and
pulling the Mate-N-Lok connectors apart to separate, repeat to disconnect all lamps (Fig. 2).
YOU MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE RUBBER GLOVES. DO NOT HANDLE A HOT LAMP OR
SERIOUS BURNS WILL OCCUR. DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS PART OF THE LAMP AS
BODY OILS WILL CREATE HOT SPOTS & GREATLY SHORTEN LAMP LIFE.
4. Remove the spring clip holding the lamp separating disc in place. and carefully lift the lamp(s)
from the quartz tube. Set aside in a safe area to avoid breaking or chipping the lamp(s) (Fig. 3)
5. Carefully lift the lamp(s) from the quartz tube (Fig. 4). With the lamp(s) removed from the unit,
pull off the black booties from the bottom of each lamp(s) and remove the bottom and top
yellow aligning disk (Fig. 5, 6). Retain both yellow aligning disks. New replacement lamp(s)
includes black booties and O-rings.
5. Discard lamp(s) appropriately. Visit www.lamprecycle.org for instructions on disposal. Repeat
the steps in reverse order to reinstall the lamp(s).
