1.E APPLICATION
This product is only suitable in freshwater with a water temperature of +4°C to
+35°C, in ponds and water features. Not suitable for sea (salt) water and/or liq-
uids to which the product is not resistant (e.g. chemical liquids).
The UV-C lamp generates ultraviolet radiation, which destroys micro-organisms,
such as floating algae. Only organisms carried along with the water by the device
are destroyed.
Useful bacteria adhere to many places in the pond on plants, stones, wall, etc.
and are not carried into the unit with the water.
A UV-C device is used in combination with a pond filter to filter the destroyed
algae from the water.
After approx. 8,000 operating hours, the lamp no longer generates UV-C radiation
and should be replaced. ( see maintenance chapter).

2. SAFETY
Caution! Operation of this device is only permitted if the exist-
ing electrical installation complies with legal standards.
The appliance should only be connected to an installation with a residual current
device (30mA) and a socket with protective earth.
The socket should be placed in a moisture-free place, at least 2 metres from the
water’s edge. Protect the device from direct sunlight and rain.
The appliance must not be submerged in water, avoid flooding.
The UV-C (and pump) must not be in operation when persons are in the water or
working on the equipment. Specific electrical regulations apply for application in
swimming ponds.
The device is equipped with a UV-C lamp. UV-C radiation is
harmful to eyes and skin. Avoid direct contact with the lamp. It
should only be in use when the lamp is inserted in the housing.
If in doubt, consult a competent installer.
People who cannot follow these instructions must not use the device!
This device is not intended for use by persons and children with physical, senso-
ry or mental impairment, or lack of experience and/or knowledge.
Unless they are accompanied by a person responsible for their safety, or by be-
ing instructed how to use the device.
Care must be taken to ensure that children cannot play with the device.
Any work on the unit and/or pond or other system, with which the UV-C unit is
connected, should first be carried out by removing the mains plug from the sock-
et and any other devices that are connected.
Keep the plug free of moisture. To prevent water from running
through the cord to the plug, form a loop.
Before commissioning, the device should be examined for possi-
ble damage.

If the power cord, ballast, UV-C lamp or housing is damaged, it should no longer
be used.
2.A PREPARING THE UV-C DEVICE FOR POND USE
• Mount the unit on a solid surface in a well-ventilated area.
• Attach the largest size hose to the supplied hose couplings, this reduces the
capacity less. Saw off the reducer couplings to the size of hose used.
• Connect the UV-C device to a pond filter to filter the destroyed algae from
the water.
• The UV-C unit should only be switched on after it is
completely filled with water and sufficient water flows
through the unit. The lamp is in operation when the
viewing window lights up blue.
• The maximum pressure should not exceed 1 Bar (10
m) when the pump is operating.
3. MAINTENANCE
Observe safety regulations!
The UV-C device is low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free.
To extend the service life and ensure trouble-free operation, we recommend reg-
ular cleaning. With few actions, any person can perform all maintenance work
without any problems.
Pond water flows past the quartz glass in the housing, causing (scale) deposits
on the glass after some time. UV-C light will therefore not reach the flowing wa-
ter as well, reducing its effect. Clean the quartz glass periodically.
