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 wiper rod should be pulled at least once a week for optimum performance. The
pump does not need to be turned off. If the wiper is used regularly, your quartz
sleeve will need little or no extra cleaning. It is recommended that the wiper
blades be replaced every time you change your lamp and when reinstalling the
sterilizer after winter.
