4. Carefully remove the quartz sleeve from the cap with a pulling/
turning motion. Use caution not to drop the 2 O-rings attached
to the quartz sleeve (figure 3).
5. Locate the UV bulb, packaged separately in your light kit.
6. Remove bulb from its shipping carton. Grasp the plastic
base of the bulb, attempting not to contaminate the glass
with your hands.
7. Insert the UV bulb into the socket of the screw cap. If necessary,
carefully clean the bulb glass with isopropyl alcohol to remove
any contamination from your hands.
8. Verify (2) O-rings are still attached to quartz sleeve
(figure 3).
9. Insert the quartz sleeve over the bulb/screw cap assembly,
using a pushing/turning motion.
sleeve with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contamination
from your hands.
10. Insert the sleeve/bulb/cap assembly into the housing and
hand tighten the screw cap securely to provide a water-tight
connection.
11. Place a gasket into the female threads of each hose
connector.
12. Screw one connector onto the intake and one onto the
discharge, and hand-tighten securely to provide a water-tight
connection.
13. Cut each connector to the desired hose diameter. For optimum
performance, use 1" hose with the UVC9 and UVC18, and
1-1/2" hose with the UVC36. The intake and discharge should
be the same size.
14. Attach the two support brackets to the housing (Figure 4) Note:
each bracket also has mounting features, if desired, to secure
the unit to a surface (Figure 5).
15. Locate the clarifier in a dry area, away from the pond or
aquarium edge and inaccessible to children. Ensure that
moisture will not get into the plug and socket.
16. Connect the intake and discharge lines to the hose adapter
(figure 4).

CaUtIoN: To prevent overheating, disconnect the clarifier when no
water is flowing through the unit.
NotE: To keep clarifier maintenance and cleaning to a minimum
use a filter with your pond pump.
1. Turn on the pump and check to ensure that all clarifier
connections are watertight.
2. Connect the clarifier power cord to a GFCI-protected electrical
outlet. When the clarifier is working, a purple ultraviolet light
can be seen through the transparent screw cap.
How efficiently the clarifier works depends on the condition of the
pond, such as the number of plants and fish, the amount of sun
exposure, and the water flow rate. For most ponds with normal
levels of green water, the cleaning process can take from 1-3 weeks.
For best results, leave the clarifier on throughout the pond season.
Before the onset of winter (or when temperatures fall below 50
degrees F) remove the clarifier to prevent it from freezing.
Used continuously, the UV bulb should last for an entire pond season
(6000 hours). We recommend that you replace the bulb every spring.

WarNING: When performing any maintenance disconnect the
clarifier from electrical power. Clean the UV clarifier 2 - 3 times per
year to keep it operating properly:
1. Disconnect the clarifier and the pump from power.
2. Remove the intake and discharge hoses and drain the water
before cleaning.
3. Carefully remove the quartz sleeve from the bulb/cap assembly.
