Installation (figures C-D-E)
The UVC device must be placed in a dry, well-ventilated area, not exposed to direct sunlight. The
best position is (if possible) behind the filter, take the accessibility for maintenance in mind.
• Carefully unpack the UV lamp (J) and insert the lamp into the lamp holder (L).
• Carefully slide the lamp and lamp holder into the quartz glass (K). Make sure that the micro-
switch is in the recess. The micro-switch is an extra security, it ensures that the UV lamp is always
switched off automatically when disassembling (in case you forgot to switch off the UV lamp).
• Make sure the O-ring (M) is placed in the right position.
• Tighten the lock nut (H) hand-tight onto the housing (C).
• Mount the pipe clamps (N) at the location where the UVC device should hang (take the length of
the cables into account).
• Mount the electronic ballast (P) at the desired location (take the length of the cables into account).
• When using pond hoses or when using ø50 mm PVC pipes, cut off the Multi-step couplings (S) to
the correct size (fig. C). Use the already mounted ø63 mm couplings for ø63 mm pipes (T).
• The Double Head input and Triple Head output connection makes the UVC device easy to install
(fig. D). Mount the couplings with the lock nuts (R) to the desired connections and close the other
connections with the cover plates (Q) and lock nuts. Make sure the O-rings (M) are placed
correctly.
• Place the device in the pipe clamps (N) and glue the couplings between the pipes or connect the
pond hoses with hose clamps to the couplings.
• Ensure that there is an adequate flow of water through the device and then insert the plug into
the appropriate socket. The transparent connection couplings (S or T) show whether the UV-lamp
(J) is lit. Check the whole assembly for possible leaks.
• Switch off the UVC device by pulling the plug out of the socket.
Maintenance
• Always disconnect from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance!
• The UVC device should be cleaned twice a year. As soon as algae growth increases, check the UVC
and UV-lamp and clean or exchange as needed.
• The lamp is hot, wait 10 minutes after switch off before opening the unit.
• Ensure that the water is drained out of the UVC device.
• Undo the lock nut (H) and remove the lamp holder (L) with the UV lamp (J) and the quartz glass
(K) from the housing. If necessary, you can also replace the lamp.
• Clean the quartz glass outer face with a soft cloth and SuperFish UVC Clean carefully.
After cleaning, rinse quartz glass with clean tap water thoroughly and check for damage.
• The inside of the housing (C) can be cleaned with a brush, do NOT use any chemicals.
• Carefully slide the quartz glass into the housing, at the other end of the housing there is a
support (U), ensure that the tip of the quartz glass is in the support. If necessary, unscrew the
locknut at the other end of the housing and guide the quarter glass into the support with your
fingers.
• Check that the O-ring (M) is positioned correctly.
• Replace the lamp and lamp holder and tighten the lock nut(s).
• To avoid overheating, unplug the device from mains when no water is flowing through the UVC
device.
• In the winter season, when the system is not used, the UVC device should be removed to avoid
the risk of freezing.
• The UV-lamp should be replaced yearly. Although the lamp may still burn, it no longer emits
enough UV radiation (maximum 8000 operating hours).
