Cut the hose-tail adaptor(s) depending on the hose diameter you use (Fig. 8) and insert them into the corresponding screw ring.
Connect the end of one of the 2 pieces of the kink-free hose to the pump outlet intended for immersion into the pond.
Connect the other end of the same kink-free hose to one of the 2 hose-tail adaptor(s), previously cut- and installed, pressing it until the hose

adjoins the hose-tail adaptor(s) base. Fasten all components with a screw-clamp.
Install a gasket into the hose-tail adaptor(s) nut, ensuring it adjoins the bottom of the same nut.

For 24W/36W/60W models, the tubes can be connected in two different ways (Fig. 9). The unused outlet must be closed with the specific cap.

Connect the other hose-tail adaptor(s) previously cut and installed as mentioned above, to a free end of a second piece of kink-free hose, pressing

it until the hose adjoins the hose-tail adaptor(s) base. Fasten all components with a screw-clamp. 
Install a gasket into the hose-tail adaptor(s) screw ring, ensuring it adjoins the bottom of the same nut.
Screw on the assembled tip to one of screw nozzles located on the canister of PondMAX® UV-C Water Clarifier (Fig. 9).

Prior to installation of PondMAX

® UV-C Water Clarifier, it is recommended to: 

•  Insert the UV-C lamp, included into the package, following the instructions on the lamp replacement.

•  Take a kink-free hose with the desired diameter, taking into account that the hose-tail adaptor(s) 

supplied in the package allow assembling hoses with diameter of  1/2”, 3/4”, & 1” (13, 20, & 25mm) 

[UVC9W], or 1”, 1-1/4” & 1-1/2” (25, 32 & 38mm) [UVC18/24/36/60W].  It is also recommended to 

place UV Water Clarifier at the minimum distance of 6ft (2m) from the pond edge and to divide the 

kink-free hose into 2 parts of the same length.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: The PondMAX® UV-C Water Clarifier is equipped with a safety switch that turns the lamp off if the ballast assembly is accidentally

opened without disconnecting it from the electrical socket. The device is activated by means of a pivot located on the main body basis. It is 

recommended to pay utmost attention when performing maintenance, to avoid damages which may require replacement of the entire filter.

WARNING: Prior to maintenance of the appliance, you must disconnect the plug from the electrical socket.

To ensure optimum performance of the filter, it is recommended to replace the lamp every 5000-6000 hours, depending on the season, when 

used in ponds, and every 8-10 months – when used in aquariums.

 

QUARTZ TUBE CLEANING:

To perform this operation properly, it is recommended to carefully follow the instructions below: 
1. Follow instructions in clauses 1-3 of the following paragraph ASSEMBLING / REPLACEMENT OF UV-C LAMP on Page 6.
2. Put the ballast assembly (9) on a flat supporting surface, clean the quartz tube (2) with non-aggressive detergent for glass units.

WARNING: To avoid damage of the quartz tube during the cleaning operation, it is recommended to avoid using units or supports which may rub 

against the tube or cleave it. It is also recommended to pay utmost attention when handling the quartz tube which might get broken and cause 

incised wounds.
3. Assemble the PondMAX® UV-C Water Clarifier again, following the instructions in clauses 9-11 of the following paragraph ASSEMBLING / 

REPLACEMENT OF UV-C LAMP on Page 6.

REPLACEMENT OF BALLAST ASSEMBLY O-RING:

To perform this operation properly, it is recommended to carefully follow the instructions below:
1. Follow instructions in clauses 1-3 of the following paragraph ASSEMBLING / REPLACEMENT OF UV-C LAMP on Page 6.
2. Remove the ballast assembly O-ring (10), first sliding it on the clamping ring and then on the quartz tube. Replace the ring with a new one,

proceeding in the reverse order. It is recommended to use only original spare parts, because thanks to the special materials these parts ensure

safe and long-term performance of the filter.
