PREPARATION
1. CHOOSING THE BEST MOUNTING LOCATION:
LIGHT SOURCE: Algae is more likely to thrive inside clear housings when exposed to ultraviolet light and other
sources like metal halide lighting. Avoid installing the unit in bright light or direct sunlight.
EXTREME TEMPERATURES: The unit MUST be kept out of areas that are subject to extreme temperatures like
freezing or temperatures greater than 100° F (38° C).
FRESH WATER RESERVOIR: Mount system in an area that will have enough room for a small trash can or reservoir.
This Fresh Water Reservoir is to be used for the Flush Cycle. (Reservoir needs to hold at least 10 gallons.)
ELEVATION FOR SYSTEM: When mounting your UHE, make sure it is elevated above your fresh water reservoir:
GRAVITY DRAIN WATER FROM ELEVATED TANK TO TRASH
CAN FOR SALT MIXING OR TO SUMP
USE DELIVERY PUMP TO DELIVER WATER WHERE NEEDED
