Aqua Ultraviolet 25W Sterilizer w/o Wipe (Aqua UV)
The 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. Aqua Ultraviolet
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 Aqua Ultraviolet 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. If your system is
installed after the filter and is properly sized, the water should be clear in
3-5 days. If it is installed before the filter, the water should be cleared in
7-10 days.
The patented slimline Aqua Ultraviolet lamp last up to 14 months of continuous
operation. After 14 months the lamp may still light, but the UV has diminished.
The lamp has a 4 pin connection. The EZ Twist-Cap allows for quick and easy
maintenance.
The Aqua Ultraviolet quartz sleeve may need to be cleaned 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. The
Aqua Ultraviolet is also available with a wiper. If the wiper is used regularly,
your quartz sleeve will need little or no extra cleaning. (This model does not
include a wiper.)
