6.4 Connect to the Electricity Suppy
Electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to tamper with or access the
electrical control box or casing inside the UV, as doing so
will invalidate the warranty.
The power supply must meet the specifications on the
product. The cores in the supply cable are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Brown = Live
Blue = Neutral
Earth = Green/Yellow (where fitted)
IMPORTANT: Do not use the supply cable to lift the UV as
this may cause damage.
Section 7. Maintenance
7.1 UV Bulb Replacement
Isolate the unit from any electricity and water supplies before
carrying out maintenance on the unit. It is not necessary to
stop the water through the UV to change the bulb.
Life span of a UV bulb is 9000 hours (approx 1 year continue
running). It is recommended that the bulb is changed during
this running time.
7.1.1 To Remove a UV Bulb
1. Disconnect the electricity supply.
2. Unscrew the black end cap at one end of the unit. Take
care not to unscrew the white locking nut also.
3. Carefully slide the black end cap over the wire to
reveal the bulb socket. Do not lose the end cap sealing
ring.
4. Disconnect the bulb socket.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 at the other end of the UV.
6. With the end caps out of the way, carefully slide out
the UV bulb.
7.1.2 To Install a New UV BUlb
1. Refer to the installation of the UV Bulb steps in 6.2.
IMPORTANT: After checking all the ttings are correctly
tightened you can switch your unit back on.
7.2 Replace / Clean Quartz Supply
Always isolate the unit from any electricity and water
supplies before carrying out maintenance on the unit.
7.2.1 To Remove a Quartz Sleeve

would recommend that you unscrew the mounting
bracket(s), disconnect the unit from the pipework, and
tilt the unit to drain the chamber of water.
8. Clean the sleeve and polish with a soft cloth or paper
towel. If you live in a hard water area, you may get
limescale on the quartz sleeve; this can be easily
removed by using vinegar or a cold water descaler.
7.2.2 To Re-Install a Quartz Sleeve
1. Refer to the re-installation of the quartz sleeve and
UV bulb in 6.1.
IMPORTANT: After checking all the ttings are correctly
tightened you can switch your unit back on.
7.2.3 Check for Leaking Water
If you notice water leaking from around the end caps, you
should check the following:
1. Check the O-Ring is undamaged.
2. Check there are no cracks and breaks in the quartz
sleeve.
3. Check that the locking nut is compressing the O-Ring
to form a water tight seal.
4. Check that the end caps are suciently tight.
5. All components are clean and free from dirt and
debris.
NOTE: Please note that the items list 1-5 are service items and
therefore not subject to a claim under warranty.
The service items listed are available from your AstralPool
stockist.

Section 8. Troubleshooting
Issue Solution
- UV BULB NOT LIT
- RCD TRIPPED
• Check for power
• Check the UV bulb for signs of failure, and replace if necessary.
• Unscrew the end caps and ensure the correct fittings.
• Make sure the end caps are dry.
• 11405 Bulbs are electrically linked as a pair. If one bulb fails, both bulbs will not illuminate. Substituting either bulb
will identify which bulb has failed.
• Do not mix up the bulb connectors as this will result in the bulb not illuminating.
- LEAKING END CAPS • Make sure the end cap is not damaged or overtightened.
• Check the quartz sleeve O-Ring, reposition it or if necessary replace it with a new one.
- POWER SURGE • Commercial UV sterilisers have thermal overload protection which automatically shuts down and then enables a fast
re-start when the problem has been cleared.
- TEMPERATURE OVERLOAD • Should the temperature exceed the maximum operating temperature limits, the Thermal Overload Protection will
enable itself.
Section 9. Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change the UV bulb?
The UV bulb has an effective lifespan of 12 months (9000
hours). This should be changed without fail in order for the
unit to remain effective and fit for purpose.
Is the UV suitable for salt water use?
The UV is manufactured from materials that will not corrode
in salt water, however the stainless steel bracket will. Use
alternative mounting means when using UV on saltwater
systems.
How long can I leave the unit running?
UVs have been designed and manufactured to the highest
standards, and can be run 24 hours a day. For external
applications, if the unit is frost protected it may be left
running throughout the winter. Otherwise, the unit should
be removed, drained and stored safely for the winter.
Can I bury the unit underground?
No. The UV, although weatherproof, is not suitable for
installing in any situation that may be subject to immersion
in water.
Can it be used with ozone?
Yes. The UV is safe to use with ozone units, however, the
O-Rings are not. When using ozone units please use rigid
pipe.
When replacing the bulb I cannot locate it into the bulb
socket at the opposite end of the UV?
Please follow the procedure for cleaning / replacing the
quartz sleeve. This will explain the correct procedure for
removing both end caps and sockets and explain the
method for easy installation.
