Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs) - Hayward HydroRite UVO3 Troubleshooting Manual

Q. Is HydroRite compatible with ALL pool chemicals?
A. YES, except for a biguanide sanitizer. The strong oxidizing power of the HydroRite device
will destroy the biguanide chemical, rendering the water a milky white color.
Q. Is there any residual effect from UV?
A. NO, UV light is applied only to the water while it passes through the HydroRite vessel. For
this reason, a chemical sanitizer such as bromine or chlorine is still required; however, the
levels of these sanitizers can be reduced by as much as 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 will slowly deteriorate in salt
water. The sleeve can be replaced easily as it slides into the vessel.
Q. Will use of a time clock shorten lamp life?
A. MAYBE, Some shortening of the lamp life can be expected when the HydroRite unit is
turned off and back on frequently. However, a daily on/off cycle will not create a major
lamp life issue. Frequent on/off cycles should be avoided, however. For best lamp
efficiency, the lamp should be replaced on yearly basis.
