- Page 2 ADVANTAGES OF UV OVER CHLORINE The use of chlorine, in one form or another, has been the common method of swimming pool water disinfection for many years. While not perfect, it has done a reasonable job however various shortcomings of chlorine use have been, for the most part, accepted as normal by the pool owning public.
- Page 3 ADVANTAGES OF UV OVER CHLORINE 2. Elimination of “Chlorine Smell” Chlorine exists in both a “Free state”, and a combined state in pool water. The Free chlorine is the chlorine that is available to oxidise organics and kill bacteria. The Combined chlorine is chlorine that is combined, or “locked up”, with nitrogen- ammonia compounds to allow the formation of Chloramines.

8 HOUR TURNOVER 6 HOUR TURNOVER 4 HOUR TURNOVER 18.0 TES18 TES25 25.0 THE ABOVE FLOWRATES ARE BASED ON UV DOSE OF 30 mJ/cm2 AT END OF LAMP LIFE To calculate the pool volume that can be treated, multiply the flowrate per hour of the unit by the number of hours it takes to re-circulate the total pool contents. -
Page 5: Installation Of Equipment
INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT The installation of the equipment should only be carried out by engineers who are trained in fitting standard pool filtration equipment. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS The UV system can be either installed indoors or outdoors, if installing outdoors protection from weather exposure should keep the unit in good condition. -
Page 6: Mechanical Installation
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The following installation guidelines should be read carefully and understood prior to fitting the system. 1 - The TES units are supplied ready assembled with exception of the two inlet and outlet half unions, union seals and pressure gauge. 2 - The bottom connection is the “INLET”... - Page 7 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 7 - The TES unit should be mounted on a suitable concrete or wooden floor structure and bolted down utilising the four bolt holes located in the unit base. (Fixings not supplied) NOTE: THE UNIT MUST BE SECURELY FITTED TO A FLOOR SURFACE. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN VIBRATION IN OPERATION AND STRESSING OF THE CONNECTIONS.

Page 8: Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The electrical installation of the equipment should only be carried out by suitably qualified person. The TES UV unit is supplied with a three core flying lead. This should be wired to a fused switched spur or fitted with an appropriate type plug for connection to a socket. -
Page 9: System Start-Up
SYSTEM START-UP The initial start-up of the UV system will depend mainly on how the system has been installed but the following checks should always be carried out. 1 - Check that all pipework connections appear tight. 2 - Open both isolating valves which should be installed in the supply and return pipe-work adjacent to the TES unit. -
Page 10: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE The TES UV unit requires very little maintenance during the year, the required maintenance is as follows: UV LAMP THIMBLE CLEANING. The UV lamp thimble which protects the lamp from direct contact with the pool water must be kept as clean and free from external deposits as possible as heavy contamination will effect the UV transmission through the quartz glass into the water. - Page 11 MAINTENANCE UV LAMP THIMBLE CLEANING. 12 - After removing the plastic nut, the thimble water seal will be visible and should be removed and stored safely. 13 - Grip the visible end of the glass thimble and pull upwards until the thimble is fully removed from the reactor body.
- Page 12 MAINTENANCE UV LAMP THIMBLE CLEANING. 20 - Open the TES unit isolating valves which should flood the reactor body with water and check for any signs of water leakage around the thimble seal. 21 - Re-start the main pool circulating pump to pressurise the system and check that the pressure gauge returns to its normal reading.
- Page 13 MAINTENANCE UV LAMP REPLACEMENT. The TES UV lamps have a useful lamp life of 9000 hours of continual use. This equates to approx. one years continual operation. It is very important to note when the system was initially started up and how many hours per day the lamp is in operation as this can then be used to calculate when the 9,000 hours has expired and lamp replacement is necessary.
