WARNINGS AND SAFETY

DELTA UV sanitizers are ready to install, no work is required inside the sanitizer.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:
This product should be installed by a professional service technician or similar person, qualified in electrical equipment installation. Improper installation and/or operation could cause serious injury, property damage or death. Improper installation and/or operation will void the limited warranty. READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE SWITCHING ON THE DELTA UV APPLIANCE.

INSTALLATION

RECOMMANDATIONS

• The sanitizer must be installed in a technical room, protected from light and rain.
• The sanitizer must be installed in a dry zone.
• The installation zone temperature must be within 0°C and 40°C.
• Ambient humidity must be < 80%.
• Keep any sources of hydrochloric acid vapours away from the installation.
• Make sure you choose a position where the lamp can be taken out – the AVAILABLE HEIGHT should be DOUBLE the total height of the appliance.

CAUTION:
We recommend the presence of a by-pass.

• Before accessing the connection terminals, ensure that all supply circuits are disconnected.
• The sanitizer installation as a whole must be protected with a suitably adapted circuit breaker. (See A. Technical characteristics)
• Check that cable complies with legislation and the required power level. (See A. Technical characteristics)

USE and MAINTENANCE

• Allow the ultraviolet lamp to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
• Never look at the ultraviolet lamps when lit. This may cause severe injuries or burns and may even lead to loss of eyesight.
• Do not touch the ultraviolet lamp with bare hands, as these would leave impurities that shorten the life of the lamp. If you do touch it: clean with alcohol or white vinegar.
• Never unscrew the quartz tube sealing nut when the sanitizer is on load as the quartz tube could be blown out of the sanitizer with force and injure you.
• To avoid electric short-circuits, do not place the electric wires or the sanitizer in the pool water or in any other maintenance or cleaning fluid.
• Do not restart the system until the electric unit, the covers exterior elements of the sanitizer are correctly back in place.
• When replacing the lamp or carrying out annual cleaning of the quartz tube, make sure that the electrical elements are in place and correctly attached before switching on the sanitizer.
• Do not use the DELTA UV sanitizer for any other use than that for which it was designed.
• Hg-Lamp CONTAINS MERCURY. Manage in accord with disposal laws.

SANITIZER INSTALLATION

The DELTA UV unit comes with all internal components fully assembled and ready for installation. Only the Inlet/Outlet unions and pressure gauge need to be installed to ready your unit for installation.

Inlet / Outlet UNIONS

Your DELTA UV unit will need to be plumbed into your pond or swimming pool circulation system.  We recommend the presence of a by-pass. The inlet for the water is at the bottom of the DELTA UV unit. The SOLID COLOR union tail piece is used on the BOTTOM union. The outlet for the water is at the top. The CLEAR union tail piece is used on the TOP union.

1. Install the union tail pieces by screwing them into the union nuts on the DELTA UV unit.
2. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (hand tightening is sufficient). Overtightening will break the union nuts.

ELECTRICAL BONDING

THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE IMPERATIVELY SLAVED TO THE FILTRATION.

Connect the DELTA UV unit to the filtration unit as shown below:

Filtration unit

• Connect the DELTA UV unit to the contactor coil.
• Check that the fuse or circuit breaker is suitable for the power drawn by all the equipment connected.

The DELTA UV unit must never be connected to the same terminal strip as the filtration pump(s) and/or boosters in your system.

ELECTRICAL CHAMBER

START-UP

1

| ****

Start the circulation pump.

---|---

2

| ****

Drain all air from your system through the air relief valve on the filter (if so equipped) .

3

| ****

Make one check for leaks in your piping, accessories, and under the electrical enclosure bonnet .

4

| ****

Check the chemical balance of your swimming pool (particularly pH, TAC et TH) and adjust them in function.

Reminder: Your DELTA UV does not eliminate the need for proper pool chemical balance.

• TAC = Alcalimetric Titration (alkalinity of water)
• TH = Water Hardness

UV LAMP REPLACEMENT & QUARTZ TUBE MAINTENANCE

The High Output UV bulb in your DELTA UV unit is a useful life of approximately 13 000 hours of operation (except in the case of repeated lightings where its lifespan could be lower). The replacement of lamp after 13 000 hours is obligatory. The quartz tube should be removed, inspected and cleaned from the sanitizer every year and at each replacement of lamp.

Reminder: Do not touch the UV bulb glass with your bare hands. That can shorten its life. Grasp the bulb on the white ceramic prong end or use a soft clean cotton cloth or clean cotton gloves to handle the UV bulb. (If you have touched the bulb with your bare hands, you must wipe the bulb glass off with spirit vinegar using a clean soft cotton cloth)

FAQ

Here are a number of FAQ’s that will answer some of the most common questions.

Is the Delta UV (DELTA UV) System Designed For Salt Water Use?
While the ability of the system is not affected by salt water, the harsh environment found in salt water ponds and aquariums is not recommended for the ES Series units due to the stainless steel inner wrapper. However, the all plastic E-Series units are compatible with salt water environments

Will A Time Clock On My Pool Shorten My Bulb Life?
Some shortening of the bulb life can be expected when the DELTA UV unit is turned off and back on frequently. A daily on/off cycle will not create a major bulb life issue however, frequent on/off cycles should be avoided.

Is There Any Residual Effect From UV?
No, UV light is used as a control and is applied only to the water that passes inside the DELTA UV wet chamber in visual contact with the UV transmission from the UV bulb.

Can The DELTA UV Unit Be Mounted Horizontally?
No, vertical mounting is required to maintain the weatherproof integrity of the electrical enclosure bonnet.

Can The DELTA UV Unit Be Installed Below The Pond or Pool Waterline?
Yes.

Can Multiple Units Be Used Together For Larger Systems?
Yes, you can add any number of units to a plumbing bypass manifold system to allow for larger outputs and flow rates beyond the capacity of a singleE-40 or ES-40 unit. Delta UV also manufactures a large capacity system, the EM/MP Series. Contact BIO-UV or your supplier for information on the EMMP Series product line, or to obtain a drawing showing the proper method of plumbing multiple units for larger applications.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The list below will help guide you through any problems you may have at time of initial installation or in the future. For additional assistance, contact your supplier or BIO-UV at the address, e-mail or phone shown at the end of this manual.
The UV Bulb Will Not Light

• If this occurs upon initial start-up, the problem could be caused by a number of issues:
  • The bulb has become disconnected from the bulb connector. Disconnect the power cord from the filtration timer, open the electrical enclosure bonnet and confirm the bulb connector is firmly in place. At the same time, check all exposed wires for a possible loose connection. Reconnect back to filtration timer ONLY after the electrical enclosure bonnet has been re-installed on the unit.
  • Verify that the filtration timer has power. Test the filtration timer. You should confirm that the power is the same as indicated on the electrical label on your Delta UV unit.
  • Make sure you have not plugged your unit into any power source other than that specified on your unit’s electrical label. If you have done so in error, the ballast has been damaged and needs to be replaced. Contact your supplier for the correct replacement ballast. (Not warranted)

The UV Bulb Is No Longer Lit

• This occurs after the unit has been operating successfully for a period of time:
  • The bulb has burned out. Replace the UV bulb.
  • The ballast has burned out. Contact your supplier or BIO-UV for assistance in obtaining a new ballast.
  • Verify that the electrical outlet where the DELTA UV unit is plugged into has the proper voltage and the cord is securely connected to the filtration timer.

The Water Is Green

• Green water is an indication that the UV rays generated by the DELTA UV unit are not effective or are not being generated by the UV bulb.
  • Check the bulb to make sure it is on. If it is not on, follow the procedures above regarding the UV bulb not lighting.
  • Run your unit longer. If your unit is operating on a time clock, run the circulation pump longer to allow the DELTA UV unit to function fully.
  • Clean the quartz tube.
  • Replace the UV bulb if it is nearing the 13 000 hour useful life. At 13 000 hours of operation, the UV bulb is 80% as effective as it was when it was new. This is normal for all low-pressure type UV bulbs, which are the longest life bulbs used in this type of application.
  • If your DELTA UV unit is installed on a swimming pool, shock the pool with the sanitizing chemical you normally use and balance the pool water as per your chemical manufacturers specifications.

The DELTA UV Unit Makes Noise When Operating

• This is an indication of the DELTA UV unit not being properly attached to a firm mounting base of wood or concrete with the bolts placed through the mounting holes in the DELTA UV unit base. It can also indicate that the UV bulb was installed without the required bulb cushion and/or bulb O’Rings. Attach the DELTA UV unit correctly to a firm base as described in Sec. 5.5, or install the bulb cushion and/or bulb O’Rings as described in Sec. 9.0. Water Is Coming Out Of Electrical Enclosure – Water exiting the unit through the electrical enclosure bonnet can be attributed to either
  • a bad quartz tube seal, or (b) a broken or cracked quartz tube. Check the quartz tube seal and quartz tube as instructed in Sec. 7.0 and Sec. 8.0.
