Function
The UVC device ensures a clear pond within 14 days. The UV lamp produces ultraviolet light is set to maximize effectiveness, with a wavelength of exactly 254 nm. The UV radiation combats floating algae without the use of chemicals and reduces harmful bacteria and germs. The UV-C radiation does not affect the pH value of the pond water and is safe for fish and plants.
Installation
- NOTICE! Before installation, check the quartz glass for any breakage. Always install the UVC device outside the pond, securely so it cannot fall into the pond. A pump transports the water from the pond through the UVC device and then through the filter back into the pond. See technical data for the correct pump capacity. Purification bacteria in the filter do not come into contact with the UV light, therefore the biological filtration is not adversely affected. Secure the hoses with hose clamps.
- Fig. B Cut the hose connectors (a) at the same diameter as the diameter of the hose. Unscrew the hose connectors from the UVC device before making cuts to avoid damaging the UVC device.
- Screw the hose connectors with the rubber gaskets (b) back onto the UVC device.
- Fig. C Connect the pump and filter to the hose connectors of the UVC device using pond hoses. Secure the hoses with hose clamps.
- Switch on the pump and check for any leaks.
- Then turn on the UVC device by plugging in the power cord.
- Fig. D Check the operation of the UV lamp via the light indicator on the UVC device.
- To avoid UVC overheating, switch off the UVC device when no water is flowing past it.
Maintenance
- Check monthly if UV lamp is burning via the light indicator on the UVC device.
- Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out maintenance!
- The UVC device should be cleaned twice a year. As soon as algae growth increases, check the UVC device and UV lamp and clean the whole or exchange the UV lamp as needed.
