OPEN UV PORT
ON FILTER COVER
. Disconnect Power Before Replacing
Lamp. Never stare at or expose skin to UV light. It can damage eyesight and burn skin.
Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect power before servicing. Connect
only to a circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Do not immerse ballast
in water. For household use only.
1) Effective useful bulb life is one season. The bulb will continue to illuminate long after the UV radiance has
diminished. For best results replace bulb annually.
2) Periodically clean the quartz sleeve. Always allow unit to cool before disassembly. Carefully disassemble and
clean outside using a solution of 30% white vinegar to water. Allow to soak to soften scale or build-up. Use a
bottle brush and mild detergent to clean inside of quartz sleeve. Make certain inside of tube is dry before
reassembly. Lubricate O-Rings with
before reassembling.
Note that if Quartz sleeve or UV lamp shows any signs of cracks or fissures it cannot be used and must be replaced.
:
• Never stare at or expose skin to UV light. It can damage eyesight and burn skin.
• UV Clarifier will not light when removed from the quartz sleeve. The built-in safety switch disables power when
not assembled.
• Do not defeat the safety features by bypassing the built in safety switch.
• If a second UV port is available a second UV unit can be installed. Check model compatibility.
• Save the plain UV port cap. It is needed to close off UV port when UV Clarifier is removed. For example, during
winterization.
• Ballast is enclosed in a double insulated case. Never cut power cord. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
UV CLARIFIER INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
If your pressure filter was supplied with a UV clarifier, the lamp
must be installed.
1) Unscrew the threaded ring and remove the UV clarifier / ballast
assembly that is pre-installed into the cover of the filter.
2) Remove the quartz sleeve by firmly holding the black collar
section and turning it counter-clockwise until it disengages from
the lamp socket assembly.
3) Unpack the lamp and insert the contact pins on the lamp base
completely into the lamp socket.
• For the 9 Watt unit: Continue to step 4.
• For the 18 & 36 Watt unit: Find the lamp retainer in the lamp
box and slide it onto the lamp until it is snug in the socket.
Next insert the alignment disk onto the end of the lamp to
center it in the quartz sleeve.
4) Make certain that the flat gasket and O-rings are properly
installed. See FIGURE 1. Flat gasket sits on top of the of the quartz
sleeve and O-ring fits outside the tube, under the top flange.
5) Use Silicone grease to Lubricate Gasket & O-ring for easier
assembly. Never use petroleum based lubricants.
6) Insert the UV lamp assembly into the Quartz sleeve and hand
tighten - turning clockwise until secure.
7) Insert the lamp / quartz sleeve assembly into either of the UV
port openings in the pressure filter cover.
8) Rotate the threaded ring of the UV fixture clockwise onto the
filter cover’s threads until tight.
9) After COMPLETE installation, UV Clarifier can be briefly tested; plug the
power cord into an appropriately rated grounded GFCI protected outlet to
check. The UV light can be safely viewed through the clear plastic cap on the
fixture. After testing, disconnect power until the filter is running. The UV unit
should only be powered on when filter is fully assembled with water circulating.
MERCURY WARNING: LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY,
