GLUING PIPING TO THE UV UNIT
Two Inlet/Outlet unions are supplied. Your PVC supply piping should be glued into the union tail pieces
using an appropriate primer and ABS to PVC cement. Inlet piping should be supported and should not
rest solely upon the unions, to avoid stressing or breaking the unions. Allow the glue to set following
the glue manufacturers recommendations before pressure testing. Maximum test pressure for the Ultra
UV is either 20 psi / 1.38 BAR or 40 PSI / 2.76 BAR as noted on the silver label on the unit. If local
codes require the pressure test to be higher than the max operating pressure on the silver label use the
bypass (if the unit is plumbed with a bypass) to allow the Ultra UV to be only left at or below the max
operating pressure.
PROVIDING ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE ULTRA UV UNIT
The electrical power rating for your Ultra UV unit is shown on the silver label located on the outside of
the unit. (Fig. 3 on page 6) Make sure the supplied power meets the units electrical requirements.
Connecting any power than that listed on the rating label will damage the unit and will VOID your
limited warranty.
120V/50/60 Hz Ultra UV units
If you supplied power is 120V/50/60 Hz the label on your unit should match. At 120 Volts, the power
draw is 2.6 amps maximum for a 3 lamp system. This low power consumption makes operating this unit
very economical. Your Ultra UV 120V unit is supplied with a weatherproof power cord terminating with
a 3-prong grounded NEMA plug. An outdoor rated ground fault circuit interrupter must be installed in
the electrical outlet serving the Ultra UV unit (subject to your local electrical codes).
WARNING
Note:
Some jurisdictions do not allow corded connections for these types of appliances. Check your local
and national electrical codes. If hard wiring is required it must be done by a licensed electrical service
person. The Ultra UV unit uses voltage sensitive ballast 120/230 volts. When wiring the unit 230 volts
the black and white wires are wired hot and the green wire is ground. Amp draw on a 1 or 2 lamp unit
is 120V/220V 1.3A/.56A, 3 lamp unit is 120V/220V 2.6A/1.12A. Should the electrical cord become
frayed or damaged in the future, unplug it from the power receptacle and replace it immediately.
230V/50/60 Hz Ultra UV Units
If you supplied power is 230V/50/60 Hz the label on your unit should match. A "J" box with 6" of lead
wire is supplied for 230V Ultra UV Units.
Remember you CANNOT operate your Ultra UV on any power supply other than that indicated on the
units silver label.
NOTICE
ELECTRICAL BONDING (GROUNDING)
Locate the grounding lug next to the power cable (Fig. 4).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be
connected to the grounding means provided in the electrical
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent
in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common
bond grid in the area of the pool or spa to this terminal with an
insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than 6 AWG.
The electrical installation is now complete.
Do not cut the plug off the electrical cord and connect it directly to
a 120V power source. If this is done your warranty is voided and
the U.L. listing is invalidated.
Have this work done by a licensed electrical technician.
