5. Placing in service
Avoid when tightening screw excessive force that may cause damage. Please observe the
illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating
instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
5.1.
Assembly
Check the complete delivery content by removing all materials from the package. The UVC filter is
pre-assembled. Verify complete and solid assembly by checking the threaded ring of the UVC
emitter frame (1) for firm seat. Now fit the transparent hose connection (6) to the inlet (8) and the
black connection (10) to the outlet (9) of the UVC emitter by screwing the corresponding hose
nozzle (6 + 10) firmly onto the internal seal by hand.
UV-C should be fixed on a base with a weight of at least 18 kg. Secure the lamp in a flood-proof
location using the supplied clamping brackets. Connect the UV-C lamp to your filter system (hoses,
pump, filter, ...) Observe the flow direction of the lamp [inlet (8) / outlet (9)]. Only connect pumps
that do not exceed the maximum flow rate and the maximum pressure specified in the technical
data.
5.2.
Putting into operation
Attention! Comply with the safety measures specified for the UVC emitter (see above)! Install the
connection socket outlet in the water-protected area and at least 2 m away from the edge of the
pond!
Connect the pond pump to the mains supply.
Check whether the hose is connected so that it is watertight and no leaks are visible on the
radiator. Use commercially available hose clamps if necessary.
Connect the UVC emitter to the mains supply. You can check the function of the UVC tube by the
bluish shimmer on the transparent hose adapter (6) on the emitter inlet (8).
5.3.
Operation
For this filter system we recommend continuous operation (24 hours a day), in the season months
March to October.
6. Maintenance and care
Attention! Before performing any installation or maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical
devices immersed in the pond from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet.
Attention! The power cord of this device cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the
complete lamp socket including the ballast must be replaced. It is not possible to replace the
supply line, as the connecting cables are firmly sealed.
6.1.
Cleaning of the UV-C lamp and replacing the tube
In case of stronger accumulation of alga and calcification, the correct function of the UV C unit
should be checked. UVC tube (2) has a limited period of effectiveness (approx. 4000 to 5000
hours) and should be replaced at the latest after one season (March to October). Appropriate
replacement tubes are available at the service address specified below.
If the pond filter has been switched off for a longer period of time, ensure that the quartz glass
cylinder that encloses the UVC tube is clean.
If the filter has not been operated for a longer period of time, under some circumstances it may be
necessary to replace the sealing rings (particularly for the UVC emitter).
Cleaning of the UV-C lamp
1. Disconnect the UVC lamp from the mains power and safeguard it from being switched on
unintentionally
2. Comply with the safety measures.
