CARE AND MAINTENANCE – Pressure Filter
•
Occasional cleaning of the filter pads will be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the
system. The top filter pad is a coarse pad (black) and will catch larger particles. The bottom filter
pad (blue) is a fine pad designed to trap smaller debris. Both pads should be removed and washed
with clean water when they are visibly soiled.
•
Filter pads should be changed annually. The exterior surface of the filter box may also need
occasional cleaning. Do not use any chemicals that may destroy the beneficial bacteria.
•
The bio balls in you filter system and the inside surfaces of the filter box contain the beneficial
bacteria. At least once a year the entire system should be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly
using warm, soapy water (biodegradable soap). This should not be done during the warm season
as it may take up to 8 weeks to re-establish the environmental balance. The best time of the year to
“breakdown” your system is in early spring before the water temperatures begin to rise. This is also
the ideal time to replace the filter pads.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE – UV Clarifier
To maximize the performance of the FUV9, periodically disassemble the unit to clean dirt and debris from
the exterior of the glass tube.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Be sure that the entire unit is completely dry and gaskets are properly seated when reassembling
the FUV9.
Failure to do so will result in water leakage, which can cause damage to the light unit.
1. Disconnect the UV light from the outlet. Be sure to allow sufficient time for the light to cool before
disassembling the light.
2. Unscrew the locking ring, and pull out the light unit.
3. Carefully pull out the glass tube holder by twisting and then pull out.
4. Use warm, soapy water to clean the glass tube. Be sure to use biodegrable soap.
5. Reassemble the FUV9, and be sure that all gaskets and o-rings are seated properly.
TROUBLESHOOTING – UV Clarifier
If the light fails to operate:
•
Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in and the light is getting power.
•
Check to make sure that the lamp holder is screwed completely into the body. (This product is
designed to prohibit operation unless it is fully assembled with the lamp holder screwed completely into
the body.)
•
Check bulb to make sure that it has not burned out. Replace the bulb as necessary, or after every
season. Bulbs are available by calling the customer service department.
