Do not disassemble! The quartz glass connection cannot and may not be dismantled. Disassembly attempts can lead to leakage, glass breakage or personal injury. Damage to the UV-C device as a result of dismantling is not covered by the warranty.

POSSIBLE INSTALLATION AND FLOW DIRECTION:

Make sure the flow always goes from bottom to top, to prevent air inclusion.

POSSIBLE INSTALLATION:

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Please read through these instructions for use carefully before installing this device.

OPERATION

The Saltwater UV-C is specially designed for saltwater (salt chlorinated) swimming pools. In the Saltwater UV-C, UV-C radiation with a wavelength of 253.7 nm is generated by means of a special UV-C lamp. This radiation has an inactivating/killing effect on bacteria, viruses and fungi (including Legionella and Cryptosporidium). The Saltwater UV-C will ensure that your pool water is clean, fresh and clear in an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner. The water is led through the UV-C device via a pump. The UV-C radiation neutralizes bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and stops them from multiplying. The Saltwater UV-C has a built-in electronic lamp driver. This lamp driver ensures optimum performance of the lamp. Thanks to the Saltwater UV-C, your swimming pool water will be disinfected efficiently and safely, and the quality of your water will remain excellent.

ATTENTION!

Your pool requires less chlorine because this UV-C device disinfects the pool water during the passage of the UV-C lamp. Your salt chlorinator device can therefore produce less chlorine than when there is no UV-C device installed to the pool. By bringing down the salt level in your pool your salt chlorinator device will produce less chlorine. The advantage is that the water will taste less salty and the effects of combined chlorine like irritation to eyes, skin and the respiratory tract are significantly reduced. Always check what the minimum salt content for your salt electrolysis device may be before you reduce the salt level in your pool. Inform your supplier if necessary. At a too low salt level your salt chlorinator device or the electrode may malfunction. On average, the minimum salt content is 3 kilo per 1.000 litters of pool water.

INSTALLATION OF THE EARTH (DRAWING 1)

1. Pull the cable (2) through the strain relief (4) before fitting the synthetic strain relief (4) onto the earth bolt (1). Position the strain relief (4) at approximately 10 cm from the eye (2) of the earth cable.
2. Place the eye (2) of the cable onto the earth bolt that is fitted to the housing.
3. Then place a toothed lock washer (3).
4. Fit the strain relief (4), creating a loop of Ø5 cm.
5. Finally place the second toothed lock washer (5) and the lock nut (6) onto the earth bolt.
6. Once the parts have been placed onto the earth bolt in the correct sequence, they can be tightened with a spanner or a ring spanner number 8.
7. Do this on both sides.

DEVICE INSTALLATION (FIGURE 2)

Decide where you want to mount the device. Never install the UV-C unit after the pH controller, chlorine dispenser or salt electrolysis system in the swimming pool installation. The best place to install the device is directly after the filter. See the schematic diagram in the operating instructions. Make sure there is always water flowing through the device when the lamp is on. Never install the device in direct sunlight. Install the device in a dry, well-ventilated area. The device can be installed either horizontally or vertically, provided that the water flow is from bottom to top (see schematic diagram at the beginning of the instructions for use). At least one metre of unobstructed space must be left on the side with the lamp connection for convenient future replacement of the lamp (K) without having to disconnect the entire device.

CAUTION: All connections and couplings must be hand-tight. Do not tighten them with tools. Otherwise damage may occur.

1. Unscrew the nut (N) from the housing (U). Remove the UV-C lamp (K) from the supplied tube (see packaging) and carefully slide the lamp into the quartz sleeve (M). Place the lamp (K) with the contact pins in the lamp fitting (L) and then tighten the nut (N) on the housing (U).
2. Fit the supplied pipe clamps (O). Then insert the unit into the pipe clamps. Tighten the threepiece coupling (I) firmly, while ensuring the correct position of the sealing rings (P), both at the connections and the quartz sleeve (see figure 2).
3. Mount the unit in the circuit by means of the three-piece coupling (I). The glue connections of the three-piece coupling are Ø63 mm or 2”. If the pipes are smaller than Ø63 mm or 2”, use the Ø63 x 50 mm (T) or 2” x 1.5” x 1” adapter. This can be glued in the three-piece coupling. The inside of the adapter (T) has internal screw threads at one end, making it possible to fit a hose tail adapter (not included) with sealing ring. ATTENTION: Allow the glued parts to evaporate for 8 hours.
4. Insert the plug of the UV-C device into an earthed wall socket that is protected by a residual current device.
5. Look through the transparent parts of the device to make sure the lamp is lit.
6. The device is shut off when power is disconnected from the device.

DISASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the power supply during maintenance/disassembly of the device.
The device must be cleaned at least twice a year. When there is a significant amount of algal growth and/ or lime build-up in the unit the quartz sleeve (M) must be cleaned.
The special lamp must be replaced after the number of hours of operation has elapsed. The inside of the unit can be cleaned with a soft brush.

1. Let the water flow out of the device.
2. Unscrew the nut (N) and remove the lamp (K) from the fitting (L). Remove the lamp from the quartz sleeve, and replace the special lamp (K) if necessary. Caution is advised as these are very delicate parts.
3. Carefully remove the quartz sleeve (M) (see figure 3). Never use force! CAUTION: Always wear protective gloves and glasses.
4. Clean the quartz sleeve with an appropriate cleanser. Always use a soft cloth to clean the sleeve and avoid scratches.
5. Place the quartz glass (M) (drawing 3) back in the unit (U). Never force! CAUTION: always wear safety gloves and glasses.
6. Carefully place the lamp back in the quartz sleeve (M), fit the O-ring (P) back onto the quartz sleeve and connect the lamp (K) to the fitting (L). Screw the nut (N) back onto the housing.

If the housing or the electrical section must be replaced, the earthing must first be disconnected from the housing. Please read the Installation and Disassembly section before installing a new housing or electrical section. Make sure you save the various separate parts for the earth connection. These are not supplied with a new housing or electrical section. If in doubt about the connection, consult a qualified installer.

RECYCLE INFORMATION

The symbol of the barred bin printed on the product means that it must be collected separately from other rubbish when it will not be anymore in use. The user, at the end of the life of the product, will have to bring it to a proper rubbish collection centre for electric and electrical devices. Alternatively he can return the used product to the seller at the moment he buys a new unit, but only in proportion 1 to 1. A differentiated refuse collection is environmentally friendly and it helps the recycle of the materials, any other collection procedure is unlawful and will be subject to the law in force.
