Hayward HydroRite UVO3 Troubleshooting Manual page 55

Q. Can the HydroRite unit be mounted horizontally?
A. NO, vertical mounting is required to maintain the proper flow dynamics inside the vessel for
maximum exposure to the UV light. Also, the unit has been designed for maximum weather
integrity of the electronics when mounted vertically.
Q. Can multiple units be used together for larger systems?
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.
Q. Is there any residual effect from Ozone?
A. No, the Ozone create by the HydroRite is injected into the plumbing in front of the vessel.
After entering the HydroRite vessel, the UV light converts the Ozone to Hydroxyl radicals in
a process called Advanced Oxidation. The Hydroxyl radicals are very short lived
sanitizers/oxidizers that are used up before the water returns to the pool.
Q. Do I need to turn HyroRite off when cleaning my filter?
A. No, the flow sensing pressure switch that is part of your HydroRite unit will automatically
shut the UV lamp off until proper flow inside the HydroRite vessel is re-established. Should you
need to turn the HydroRite off, simply unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
