The Advantage 2000 Plus Aqua Ultraviolet Sterilizer is used to
destroy single celled organisms such as water borne bacteria and viruses. The
sterilizer is also used to control algae and and to kill fungi and protozoa.
Advantage Sterilizers are recommended for both fresh and salt water systems as
well as ponds. The ultraviolet lamp emits a germicidal ray which alters or
disrupts the DNA or RNA of targeted organisms such as algae, bacteria and
protozoa. The Aqua ultraviolet sterilizer works better on filtered water. Any
debris in the water can inhibit UV transmission.
Instructions:
The Advantage 2000 Plus Sterilizer can be installed vertically or horizontally.
The best place to install your UV sterilizer is after the filter. If it is
necessary to install the sterilizer before the filter, adequate pre-filtration
should be used to prevent the quartz sleeve from breaking from debris.
The quartz sleeve should be cleaned once a year to remove film from the surface
that will hinder the effectiveness of the UV. It can be cleaned with swimming
pool muriatic acid, lime away or a similar product. Do not use any type of
abrasive substance on the quartz sleeve as it may scratch the quartz.
