izer is not submerged, it must connected to the outlet of the pump. In
both cases, be careful not to overload the sterilizer with excessive water
pressure (the admissible value is given in the technical data).
NOTE For the purpose of problem-free deaeration, the UV sterilizer
should be positioned slightly inclined, so that the outlet opening is the
highest point of the sterilizer.
In mounting the sterilizer, you may find handy the brackets (1), which
can be fixed to the background by means of suction caps (2) or screws.
Following the above preparations, you should first turn on the pump
cooperating with the sterilizer. If the sterilizer is located on the shore of
the pond, check tightness of the connections, and in case of leaks seal
up. Only after stabilizing the water flow, turn the sterilizer on by sticking
the plug in a power outlet. The power-on diode (A) signaling operation of
the fluorescent lamp should come on.
NOTE Do not cover the plug stabilizer.
In order to obtain optimum results, it is recommended to use the steril-
izer non-stop for the entire season from spring to late autumn. The an-
ticipated period of effective operation of the UV fluorescent lamp is ca.
7500 hours, so it will serve its purpose problem-free for the entire sea-
son. After the lapse of the planned period of operation, the UV sterilizer
should be turned off, by pulling the plug from the power supply socket.
In order to get rid of algae from the pond, it is sufficient to use the UV
sterilizer in cycles, e.g. one month of operation and one month of inter-
val, and so forth.
For efficient operation of the sterilizer, it should be cleaned every several
weeks, performing the following actions:
1. disconnect the device and the pump cooperating with it from the
power supply by pulling the plugs from the sockets,
2. disconnect the device from the waster circulation and remove any
water remaining in it,
3. remove the fitting with the fluorescent lamp by turning the fitting grip
(10) according to the „OUT" arrow (fig. ),
4. carefully remove the quartz cover (7), turning it according to the
„OUT" arrow (fig. ), and rinse it under running water and carefully
wipe dry – particularly its internal side,
5. screw out the stub pipes (5) and stopper (3), remove the gaskets (4)
from them, and carefully clean under running water,
6. clean the housing,
NOTE Inside the cover (6) there is a quartz glass mirror in the shape
of a sleeve, with which particular care should be exercised when
cleaning the housing (cover). Do not scratch, and use only a brush
for cleaning bottles in order not to damage the mirror! In case of dam-
age to the mirror, replace the entire housing (cover).
