General Maintenance - AquaScape ULTRAKLEAR 1000 Mode D'emploi

General Maintenance

• The UltraKlear UV Clarifier eliminates single-celled algae
®
commonly referred to as green water. For most ponds
the process should take approximately 1 week, however
significant algae blooms may take 2-3 weeks to clear.
• Bulb life – For effective clarification the UV bulb should be
replaced after 12 months of continuous use.
NOTE: Even though the UV bulb still emits light, it may
have lost its effectiveness at clarifying if the recommended
operating time has been exceeded.
• Cleaning/replacing the quartz sleeve and UV bulb –
A dirty quartz sleeve will reduce the effectiveness of the UV
bulb. Debris and mineral deposits can be cleaned using
a mild acid like white vinegar or a non-abrasive calcium,
lime, or rust remover with a soft bristled brush or sponge.
TO ACCESS THE QUARTZ SLEEVE
1. Always unplug both the pump and the UltraKlear
UV Clarifier before servicing.
2. Release the latch tab by pulling/pushing it towards the
ballast about ¼".
3. Rotate the ballast counter-clockwise about ½" to release it
from the locked position and carefully slide out the ballast
with quartz sleeve attached.
4. The quartz sleeve can now be accessed for cleaning
or replacement.
