Installation; Maintenance - SuperFish AquaClear UVC 9W Gebrauchsanweisung

Installation

Fig. A Always install the UVC device outside the aquarium, with the aquarium water flowing through the UVC device and
through the external filter. As the purification bacteria in the filter do not come into contact with the UV light, the
biological filtration is not adversely affected.
Fig. B Cut the hose connectors (a) on the same diameter as the diameter of the hose. Unscrew the hose connectors from
the UVC device before starting the sawing, to avoid damaging the UVC device.
• Screw the hose connectors with the rubber gaskets (b) back onto the UVC device.
• Connect the hoses from the external filter to the hose connectors of the UVC device. Secure the hoses with hose
clamps.
• Switch on the filter pump and check for any leaks.
• Then turn on the UVC device by plugging in the power cord.
Fig. C 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.
