INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION. KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This Vorton Ultra Violet Clarifier is electrically operated and
designed to work with an existing pond filtration system.
Typically this should consist of a mechanical and biological
filter, filter pump and connecting hose. The unit is only
suitable for outside use.
Attention: UV Caution
This appliance contains a UV-C emitter. Unintended use
of the appliance or damage to the housing may result in
the escape of dangerous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation
may, even in little doses, cause harm to the eyes and skin.
The Lamp is fitted with an interlock that will turn the lamp
off in the event that the housing is inadvertently opened.
When switched on, the lamp can be checked for operation
by looking for a bluish glow from the translucent hosetails.
sight window. Do not run the Vorton UVC dry.

Warning:
Safety & Electrical Connections
1.1 WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT ALL
APPLIANCES IN THE POND FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE PUTTING YOUR HANDS IN THE WATER
WHILST EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED, REPAIRED,
MAINTAINED OR HANDLED.
1.2 The clear tube inside the unit is made from quartz
glass and care should be taken during installation and
maintenance. We recommend the use of eye protection
and suitable gloves.
1.3 The Vorton UVC is weatherproof but not submersible.
Position the unit horizontally near the pond but not
where it can fall into the water or become waterlogged.
1.4 Important: This product is designed to be permanently
wired to the mains supply. For connection to the mains
supply use only 3-core cable (ref HO5 RN-F). This has
a minimum copper cross-section of 0.75mm
Polycloroprene-Rubber insulation. The termination to
the mains supply should be:
a) Permanent.
b) Inside a dry weatherproof enclosure.
c) Through a double pole switched fused spur
to BS 3676.
d) Fitted with a 3 or 5 amp fuse.
1.5 Exposed cable runs should be sensibly positioned and
protected by armoured conduit, especially if there is a
risk of contact with gardening equipment such as forks
and lawnmowers, or children and domestic animals.
1.6 A 30mA maximum Residual Current Device (RCD) MUST
be fitted to the mains supply.
1.7 Permanent installations to the mains supply
(hard wiring), must conform to the National and Local
wiring regulations. If in any doubt about wiring to the
mains supply, consult a qualified electrician or local
electricity authority.
1.8 Protect from frost. In cold winter weather
(when fish are inactive and algae growth ceases) the
unit may be switched off. It should then be removed,
drained of water.
2.1 Performance - We recommend that for maximum
performance this product should be used with a
Hozelock Cyprio filter pump and filter. The unit should
be run 24 hours a day throughout the feeding season.
Failure to do this may result in green water and will
invalidate the Clearwater Guarantee.
2.2 Flow Rate - For best results the entire contents of the
pond should pass through the Vorton UVC every
1½ - 2½ hours. We recommend that your pump is
sized to supply the required flow rate against the full
hydraulic head (the vertical distance between the pond
water surface and filter inlet, plus an allowance of
0.6-0.9m, (2-3ft), for hose friction losses).
2.3 Pressure Rating - These Vorton UVC models have a
maximum pressure rating of 0.7bar (or 7m, 0.07Mpa).
The unit is therefore unsuitable for filtration systems
that produce high levels of back pressure such as sand
filters.
2.4 Pond Treatments - Some medications/ treatments can
degrade very quickly by UVC radiation. Switch off the
unit during disease treatment.
2.5 Extra care should be taken with any hose connections as
leaks will result in loss of water from the pond.
2.6 Spare Parts - Use only genuine Hozelock Cyprio
replacement parts.
3.1 The Hozelock Cyprio Vorton UVC can be added to most
filter systems before or after filtration, the effect is the
same. The water must be pumped through the unit - not
gravity fed. A typical installation is shown in fig. 1.
3.2 Location - the unit MUST be installed horizontally and
on a solid surface. The lid of a filter may be suitable if
sturdy enough.
3.3 To mount the unit, remove the electrical head. See 5.3
Using 2 suitable fixings, screw the base to the mounting
with
2
surface. (See fig. 2).
3.4 Cut two universal hose tails (supplied) to suit the correct
size of hose. Fit the hose tails to the inlet and outlet
threaded connections using the seals and threaded
nuts supplied (see fig. 3). Push the inlet and outlet hose
onto the hose tails and secure with a suitable hose
