DESCRIPTION
The UVC-series clarifiers use ultraviolet (UV) light to help keep
aquarium and pond water free of floating algae and reduce water-
borne pathogens, ensuring clear water and a healthy aquatic
environment for fish and aquatic plants. NOTE: While UV light will
impare algae, a pond filter is necessary to remove the dead algae.
UV clarifiers will not affect string algae.
The UVC-series clarifiers consist of:
• Transparent screw cap with power cord
• Protective quartz sleeve
• UV bulb
• Intake housing
• Discharge housing
• Support brackets (2)
• Hose connectors (2), gaskets (2), and O-rings (2)
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Interfacing electrical
equipment must have a grounding-type power cord plug. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect only to a properly
grounded, grounding-type outlet with a Class A ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI).
WARNING: UV radiation is dangerous to the eyes and skin.
Do not look directly at the unshielded UV bulb as damage to
the eyes may occur. To safely check the operation of the UV
bulb, look through the transparent screw cap after the clarifier
is assembled.
DO NOT submerge the clarifier in water.
Disconnect power supply immediately if the clarifier or the power
cord becomes damaged.
The power cord, cap, or ballast cannot be replaced. If damaged, the
entire clarifier must be replaced.
