IMPORTANT – Safety Warning
•
Always disconnect all appliances from the electrical supply before
putting your hands in the water while the equipment is being
installed, repaired, maintained or handled.
•
The use of gloves and eye protection is recommended when
installing or maintaining the clear glass tube inside the clarifier.
•
Do not run the clarifier dry.
•
The clarifier unit is weatherproof but not waterproof and must not
be submerged in water. Therefore, position the unit away from the
edge of the pond to prevent the clarifier from being accidentally
dropped into the water.
•
Exposure to Ultra Violet (UV) radiation can cause damage to eyes
and skin. Never look at the lamp while switched on. The lamp
can be checked when switched on by looking at the clear hose
tail – a blue glow should be visible when the UV lamp is
operating.
•
To protect from frost the clarifier should be taken indoors during
winter months when algae growth stops. Clean and dry the unit
and store in a dry place.
•
Young children should always be supervised near water.
INSTALLATION
•
To prevent algae growth and green water, the Alpine UV Clarifier
should be run for 24 hours a day during the season. When the
UV Clarifier is used in conjunction with a pond filter and filter
pump, your pond should be clear within 2 weeks.
•
The clarifier can be positioned before or after the filtration system
is placed.
•
The water must be pumped through the unit and not gravity fed.
•
The unit must be installed horizontally on a solid surface.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPY

The UV lamp should be changed at the beginning of the new
season. The lamp may look it is still working but over time the
amount of UV diminishes reducing the effectiveness of the unit.

•
Remove the UV glass tube by gently pulling out the electrical
connection.
•
Insert a new glass tube by pushing gently into the electrical
connection.
