COOPERATION WITH AQUAEL FZKN CANISTER FILTERS
During installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter, the filter container must be
empty (bins with filter elements removed) and cleaned.
Installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter:
1. mount the fluorescent lamp,
2. screw out the plug at the bottom of the FZKN filter container (fig.), according
to the „OUT" arrow,
3. take out the quartz casing (7), together with the fluorescent lamp (8) and its holder
(10) assembled into the casing, from the lamp housing (6); put the flow cover of
the UNIMAX filter onto the lamp housing (6), then screw it in from the inside of the
filter container by turning it from the position shown in Fig. 7 to the position shown
in Fig.  (see also the UNIMAX filter manual); next, insert the quartz casing (7),
together with the fluorescent lamp (8) and its holder (10) assembled into the ca-
sing, into the lamp housing (6) through the opening in the bottom of the filter and
turn it all the way in the direction of the „IN" arrow.
Following the above preparations, you should first turn on the pump cooperating
with the sterilizer. Make sure that the hoses are tightly connected to the sterilizer. If
leaks are discovered, tighten up the connections. Only after stabilizing the water flow
should the sterilizer be turned on.
NOTE: do not cover the plug stabilizer.
Operation of the fluorescent lamp may be checked only in assembled condition:
phosphorescence reflected on internal surfaces of the housing (6) or – in case of
installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter: the sterilizer cover – is visible at the inlet
and outlet openings – regardless of whether the stub pipes (5) are mounted or not.
This phosphorescence will be visible through the transparent stub pipes also later,
during normal operation of the sterilizer.
NOTE: In a FZKN filter it is not allowed to use the UV sterilizer without the cover!
UV-C radiation!
The operation cycle of the sterilizer should be determined experimentally, initially
operating it for several hours a week. After the lapse of the planned period of ope-
ration, turn off the UV sterilizer by pulling the plug from the power supply socket.
MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
For efficient operation of the sterilizer, it should be cleaned every several weeks (e.g.
When doing maintenance on the filter or aquarium pump) performing the following actions:
1. disconnect the device and the pump cooperating with it from the power supply by
pulling the plugs from the sockets,
2. disconnect the device from the waster circulation and remove any water rema-
ining in it,
3. remove the fitting with the fluorescent lamp by turning the fitting grip (10) accor-
ding to the „OUT" arrow (fig.),
4. carefully remove the quartz cover (7), turning it according to the „OUT" arrow
(fig.), (in case of installation of the sterilizer in a FZKN filter – fig.) and rinse it
under running water and carefully wipe dry – particularly its internal side,
5. screw out the stub pipes (5) and stopper (3), remove the gaskets (4) from them,
and carefully clean under running water,
6. clean the housing (or sterilizer cover in a FZKN filter),
7. assemble the device in reverse order, all gaskets must be properly placed in their
groove and greased with Vaseline, and the fluorescent lamp must be inserted all
the way into the fitting until refusal.
