Placing In Service; Maintenance - Oase bitron 18c Operating Instructions Manual

5. Layout the hose all the way to the pump in such a manner that it cannot
be stepped on and has no kinks.
Note: We recommend not channelling the water discharge directly into
the pond, rather that you channel the cleaned water indirectly for instance
via a small watercourse. In this case the water is additionally enriched
with oxygen.

8. Placing in service

– First turn on the pump and wait until the Bitron is filled with water.
– Check all connections for leaks. Resolve all leaks.
– Plug the Bitron's power plug into the power outlet.
– Check the function of the UVC bulb and the cleaning rotor via the view
glass F. If there is blue, flashing, shimmering light alternating with dark,
then both functions are OK.
8.1 Bypass settings
The water flow rate can be adjusted with the bypass system.
Water flows into the device from water intake D. Some of the water can flow
out directly via water discharge C (bypass), while the rest is irradiated with
UVC light in the device and then flows out via water discharge A. The water
will only be optimally cleaned if the water flow is correctly adjusted.
– The correct setting corresponds to the capacity [l/h] of your pump.
Move the two rotary handles B to the same setting.

9. Maintenance

Ensure that the Bitron is never operated without water flow! Always keep the
Briton's water discharge free! Regularly remove coarse pollutants in the Bitron's
discharge/intake hoses. Check the UVC bulb function and cleaning rotor function
with the inspection glass.
You should check the wear on the foot of the cleaning rotor each time you clean
the quartz glass sleeve or change the UVC bulb (see "9.2 Replace cleaning
rotor").
9.1 Replacing the UVC bulb
The UVC bulb must be replaced after app. 8000 operating hours to maintain
optimum UVC performance.
1. Unplug the Bitron's power plug.
2. Switch off the pump and safeguard it from being turned on again
unintentionally.
3. Press the safety engaging lever, turn the Bitron device head in the direction
of the arrow until the stop, and pull it out carefully with the cleaning rotor.
4. Pull cleaning rotor off of the quartz glass.
5. Unscrew the clamp screw counter-clockwise and pull off the quartz
glass sleeve with the O-ring using a light turning movement. Attention!
Do not tilt the quartz glass sleeve when pulling it off! There is a hazard of
the quartz glass breaking. Note: The quartz glass sleeve can be quite
firmly seated due to lime scale and pollutant depsoits.
