LAMP LIFE
The UV lamp fitted in this unit has a usable of life of 8000 hours (one year).
At 8000 hours the lamp will still be glowing brightly but the emission of
germicidal UVC will have deteriorated to approximately 85% efficiency.
For the majority of home aquarium applications the lamp should be changed
once a year (8000 hours).
For more critical applications the lamp should be changed at 4000 hours.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The UV lamp should be changed at intervals of either 4000 hours or 8000
hours dependent on application. At each lamp change the quartz sleeve should
be removed and cleaned.
WATER DISPLACEMENT GASKET
A soft black circular rubber gasket is fitted to the right hand side of the white
plastic body and is fitted to protect the lamp holder assembly from any accidental
water spillage or splashing.
Each time the cover is removed from the base this gasket must be correctly
located on re-assembly.
When replacing the cover, and before screwing it to the base, make sure that
the gasket is fitted onto the right hand end of the white plastic body and located
between the white plastic body and the white plastic compression fitting. It will
be held (loosely) in place by this compression fitting. When correctly fitted the
gasket must lean towards the right, away from the outlet port.
When the cover is replaced on the unit this gasket will be visible through the
cover and should be tilting away from the outlet port and towards the lamp
end and lamp holder.
When correctly fitted this gasket will protect the lamp end assembly from any
possible water splash.
