STERILIZERUV PS
these parts are damaged, the sterilizer must not be connected to the mains.
✔ The sterilizer may not be connected to a water circuit of pressure exceeding 0.5 bar.
Never connect to the municipal water supply network!
✔ The device may be powered only from an electric power grid of rated parameters
(voltage and frequency) specified on the device housing, from a power supply out-
let located in a dry place. The power supply network should be equipped with a re-
sidual current device detecting leakage current of 30mA.
✔ Never use the sterilizer not filled with water. The sterilizer accidentally turned on
without water circulation will heat up to a high temperature. When this happens,
do not connect it to water circulation or submerge it in water, as this could dam-
age the glass quartz pipe cover (9b), and lead to electrocution! Instead, disconnect
the device from power supply and let it cool for at least one hour before restarting
operation of the sterilizer.
✔ The device produces radiation harmful to the skin and eyes. Never turn on the fitting
when removed from the housing!
✔ Never apply a fluorescent tube of other type than specified in the technical data,
even if the dimensions are correct!
✔ In case of damage immediately disconnect the sterilizer from the power grid. The
device with a damaged power cord or quartz cover (9) is not fit for further operation.
It is prohibited to replace or repair electrical conduits, or to install a switch or a sock-
et on them. In case of damage of conduits, report to the manufacturer's service.
✔ In danger of freezing, make sure to disconnect the sterilizer from the power supply,
drain it of water and store until spring in a place protected form frost.
✔ In various countries other special regulations concerning operation of the steri-
lizer may apply.
PREPARATION FOR LAUNCH
The UV Sterilizer always collaborates with a pump connected in series. The water flow
direction inside the sterilizer is irrelevant.
Prior to assembly of the UV sterilizer make sure that:
the frame (3b) is placed all the way in the head (9a),
the securing nut (4) is screwed in all the way clockwise – see fig. 1.
The sterilizer is supplied in line with the drawing on the first page of these instructions,
where the inlet and outlet openings face the same direction. If needed, they can be set
to face opposite directions (see fig. 4). Details of such rearrangement are described in
the chapter „Cleaning of the sterilizer", in connection with figure 2 and 3.
Now you can check operation of the sterilizer, connecting it for a moment to a power
supply socket. Glow will be visible by the transparent connector (13) at the end of the
housing (1).
The sterilizer can be placed either outside of the pond, near its edge, or inside in total sub-
mersion. The latter, submerged option is recommended, as this provides better protection
from access by children. In case of operation of the sterilizer in total submersion, it can
be installed either before or after the pump. Whereas if the sterilizer is not submerged, it
must be connected to the pump outlet.
NOTICE:
1. Water flowing through the sterilizer should be mechanically filtered (by a preliminary filter).
2. For the purpose of problem-free bleeding, the sterilizer should be leaning slightly and
turned so that the outlet is the highest point of the sterilizer.
3. Water passing through the sterilizer cannot have pressure greater than 0.5 bar).
4. The place where the pump sucks in the water in the pond should be located as far as pos-
sible from the point where purified water returns to the pond.
The sterilizer may be mounted with the help of the mounting brackets (2), which can be
screwed to the substrate.
The stabilizer (3a) is waterproof. Rainfall or water splash will not cause any threat. It should
be placed in an airy and shady spot, out of direct sunlight. It may not be placed in vicinity
of other intense heat sources. It can be mounted with screws to fireproof substrate. Do
not cover the stabilizer.
The transparent connectors (13) should be cut at the place corresponding to the diameter
of the applied hose and along with gaskets (10) greased with Vaseline screwed by hand in
the housing (1) and head (9a).
The sterilizer should be connected into water circulation tightly with proper hoses.
LAUNCH AND OPERATION
Following completion of the above preparations, first start the pump collaborating with the
sterilizer. If the sterilizer is placed at the edge of the pond, check tightness of connection
and leak-proof them if necessary. Only following water flow stabilization and air-bleeding,
turn on the sterilizer by placing the plug in a power supply socket. Operation of the UV steri-
lizer is evidenced by glow appearing by the connector (13) at the end of the housing (1).
In order to get rid of algae from the pond, it is sufficient to operate the UV cyclically, e.g.
one week of operation and one week of interval, etc. After the lapse of the planned period
of operation, turn of the UV sterilizer by pulling the plug from the power supply socket.
For the time of interval in pump operation, e.g. for reason of maintenance or failure of the
pump, and when water is not flowing due to filter blockage, the UV sterilizer should be
turned off by removing the plug form the power supply socket.
For the purpose of obtaining optimum effect, it is recommended to operate the UV steri-
lizer across the season from the spring through late fall. The anticipated period of effec-
tive UV fluorescent tube operation is ca. 7500 hours, that is over 300 days, so it will serve
without problems for the entire season. When the UV fluorescent tube has worked for as
long time – for example the whole season – it is recommended to replace it in the spring
before commencement of a new season.
CLEANING OF THE STERILIZER
The UV sterilizer operates effectively as long as the quartz tube of cover (9b) is clean. At
first it should be cleaned once a month, and later, according to environmental conditions,
according to experience. For this purpose follows the steps below:
unplug the device and the collaborating pump from the grid by pulling the plug form
the socket;
remove the sterilizer fro its mounting and water, disconnect it from the water circula-
tion and drain the remaining water from it;
unscrew the connectors (13) from the housing (1) and the cover head (9a), remove the
gaskets form them (10), clean the gaskets and their grooves thoroughly under running
water;
holding the cover head (9a) in your right hand, unscrew the housing (1) following the
arrow „I" clockwise (see fig. 2), and then carefully remove the quarts housing from it
(9) – along with the complete fitting (3 etc.) – following arrow „II".
NOTE: To clean the sterilizer, it is not necessary to remove the fitting (3) with electrical parts
from the quartz cover (9).
remove the gasket (11) from the cover head (9a), clean the gasket and its groove thor-
oughly under running water;
clean the housing (1) from outside and inside;
clean the complete cover (9) from the outside, rinse it under running water, treating the
quartz tube (9b) with particular care;
NOTES:
1. To clean the housing (1) and cover (9) never use any mechanical tools - do not scrub!
2. In case of damage to the quartz tube (9b) it should be replaced. To replace the quartz tube,
unscrew four screws holding the setting bush (14) – see fig. 8.
place the gaskets (10) and (11) in their groves on connectors (13) and on the cover head
(9a) properly and grease them lightly with Vaseline;
