Replacing the UVC lamp
Change the UVC lamp after approx. 8,000 operating hours. Adhere to the safety information given above! Disconnect
the power supply, switch off the pump and secure against unintentional switching on again. Undo the four screws of
the UVC unit and carefully lift the unit out of the filter cover, unscrew the clamping screw by turning counter-clockwise,
then remove the quartz glass tube including the O ring. Pull out and replace the UVC lamp.
Important! Only use lamps the designation and rating of which match the information on the type plate.
Remove the O ring from the quartz glass and clean, clean the quartz glass tube using a moist cloth, pull out the flat
sealing ring and the protection tube, clean with water. Only Filtoclear 4.000: Clean the protection tube and the reflec-
tor plate with water using a soft brush (do not pull out the plate! Danger of deformation).
Check components for damage and replace, if necessary. Reassemble in the reverse order. Start up the pump first,
then connect the unit power supply.
Note!
A safety switch prevents switching on the UVC lamp as long as the UVC water housing is removed.
