Safety Precautions (cont.) • CAUTION - To prevent possible fire or electrical shock, use only replacement lamp specified by the manufacturer. • A bonding lug is provided on the external surface. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than 8 AWG US / 6 AWG Canada.
HydroRite: How It Works The Hayward HydroRite contains a high intensity electrically operated Ultraviolet (UV) lamp which is located inside the unit’s wet chamber. The UV lamp emits light at two separate wavelengths within the UV spectrum; 254 nm and 185 nm.

HydroRite: LED Indicators Power On LED This green LED will be on under normal operation. Even when the pool pump is not running and HydroRite shuts off its lamp, the Power On LED will be lit. Lamp/Ballast LED This red LED indicator implies an issue with the lamp or ballast, or a problem with the connection from the ballast cable to the lamp.
UV Lamp Removal & Replacement 1. Unplug the device from the power outlet (Fig 8 & 9). 2. Shut off the circulation pump and make sure there is no pressure in the system. Fig. 8 Then close the inlet and outlet valves on Fig.
Page 18
UV Lamp Removal & Replacement (cont.) 6. Remove the lamp by grasping the lamp connector and rotating counter- clockwise to unlock the lamp from the nut (Fig. 14). 7. Once unlocked, slowly pull the lamp straight up and away from the quartz sleeve until it clears the vessel (Fig.
Page 19
UV Lamp Removal & Replacement (cont.) 8. Slowly lower the new lamp(s) down into the quartz sleeve (Fig.16). Once you have verified that the lamp(s) are secured, reconnect the 4- Pin Connector (Fig. 17 & 18) to the pins on top Fig.
Cleaning The Quartz Sleeve: Automatic When using an automatic cleaner, the HydroRite’s quartz sleeve can be cleaned with no need to disassemble the Cell Vessel. When the user initiates a cleaning, an acid bath will clean the quartz sleeve. The cleaner will be permanently plumbed into the system; connected to the inlet and outlet ports located on the top and bottom sides of the vessel.

Cleaning The Quartz Sleeve: Manually (cont.) 6. Use a soft clean cotton cloth (or cotton gloves) to remove the lamp(s) by grasping the lamp connector and rotating counter-clockwise to unlock the lamp from the nut (Fig. 27). 7. Once unlocked, slowly pull the lamp straight up and away from the quartz sleeve until it clears the vessel (Fig.
Page 23
Cleaning The Quartz Sleeve: Manually (cont.) 8. Remove the stainless steel sleeve from the top seal plate before moving on (Fig. 29 & 30). 9. Remove quartz sleeve by turning the locknut counter clockwise and removing (Fig. 31 & 32). Carefully clean both the inside and the outside of the quartz sleeve using NON-ABRASIVE CLEANERS, as they can scratch the high quality glass.

Cleaning The Quartz Sleeve: Manually (cont.) 11. Slowly lower the lamp down into the quartz sleeve (Fig. 33). Once sleeve is secured (Fig. 34), reconnect the 4-Pin Connector to the pins on top of the lamp. NOTE: DO NOT touch the lamp with bare hands (Use included gloves). The ceramic 4-Pin Connector is designed to fit onto the end of the lamp in ONLY ONE ORIENTATION.

75% over typical levels. Q. Is the HydroRite system designed for salt water use? A. YES, all plastic components are compatible with pools equipped with Hayward Salt Chlorine Generator Systems. The stainless steel insert sleeve (if used) will slowly deteriorate in salt water.
Page 41
A. YES, you can add any number of HydroRite units to a manifold system to allow for larger outputs and flow rates beyond the capacity of a single HydroRite unit. Contact Hayward to obtain a drawing showing the proper method of plumbing multiple HydroRites for larger applications.
