UV-C SYSTEM
The C-30 Pro is equipped with our newest UV-C technology. A 40watt UV-C system with high
RXWSXWXYODPSLVEXLOGLQVLGHWKHȴOWHURQWKHFOHDQZDWHUVLGH7KHVRSKLVWLFDWHGGHVLJQDQG
high quality materials produce a high UV-C radiation. The wavelength of the UV-C system is
exactly 253.7nm, the high level of radiation kills almost all bacteria, viruses and even fungi!
This system produces 60% more light than normal UV-C lamps and ensures clean and clear
water!

• It is important, however, that a high-pressure hose/PVC pipe is used for this purpose.
• The pump generates a pressure of 3 bar. Pressure peaks of 4 bar may occur during start-
up. Therefore do not use sewer & drain PVC.
• The high-pressure pump itself must be placed in a moisture-free location below the water
level.
• TIP: Place a ball valve between the output and the high pressure pump.

Maintenance
Maintenance & Disassembly
The device requires maintenance at least once a month. During maintenance the power sup-
ply must be disconnected. The screen panel should be checked for wear and tear.
1. Disconnect the power supply and close the piping.
2. Ensure that the water can drain out of the housing.
3. Turn the entire drum one revolution by hand and check the assembly for wear. If neces-
sary, you can replace the screen panel (see the next page).
