TERMINATORTM
UV Sterilizer

FEATURES
The ViaAqua® Terminator™ UV Sterilizer features a quartz glass PL bulb. The
sterilizer uses quartz sleeve that maintains the bulb temperature thus allowing 95%
of the UV radiation to sterilize the water. Produce more UV radiation than comparable
UV units. The internal burning chamber is design for maximum contact time. As the
water is redirected by the baffles in the internal burning chamber a vortex will occur.
The increased contact time exposes virtually all organic, single celled algae and
eradicates most harmful microorganisms to maximum UV radiation exposure.
PRECAUTION AND SAFEGUARD
WARNING
»The UV lamp used in this unit produces harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Never look directly at lamp as damage to eyes will occur. Always
disconnect the power supply before opening the unit for service.
Failure to do so will expose the user to harmful UV radiation.
»This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash you hand after handling the product.
»It is your sole responsability to verify that the plug and receptacle are
clean/free of moisture and salt build up at all times. The receptacle
must be free of water, salt, calcium, and magnesium. Failure to do so
may cause re and/or loss of life.
»Do not plug into an extension cord or power strip.
»A drip loop must be used when plug into any electrical devices. A
drip loop is part of the cord hanging below the receptacle.
»The national code requires all aquarium equipment to be plugged into
a G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical outlet. If you do
not have a G.F.C.I., have an electrician install one prior to operating
any aquarium components.

* Read and follow all precautions, safeguards and
instructions.
* Use this product for its intended use only
* Never yank or pull the cord from the electrical
outlet.
* Do not operate if the plug or wire is damaged.
* Do not operate without water.
* The ultraviolet sterilizer must be turned off
prior to shutting off the water to the ultraviolet
sterilizer.
* Verify that hands are dry prior to disconnected
the power.
* To reduce the risk of electrocution keep all
connections dry.
* If the product is to fall into the water, unplug the
unit rst then retrieve the unit from the water. If
any of the electrical components get wet unplug
immediately.
* Although the ballast is water resistant do not place the ballast in
area where it can come in contact with water.

INSTALLATION OF THE UV STERILIZER
1. Follow all safeguards and warning
2. Since the ultraviolet light does not come with a pump, a water supply
needs to be installed. To do this a powerhead, external water pump or a
canister filter can be used. The pump supplying water to the ultraviolet
sterilizer must be pre-filtered. Pre-filtering the water will limit buildup on
the quartz sleeve thus allowing maximum UV penetration.
3. Use the chart provided for optimum performance. Note: Slow water
flow (GPH) will increase the duration the water will be in contact with
ultraviolet radiation. The only variable which increases contact time is the
speed of water flow (GPH) not the way water is channeled in the reaction
chamber.
4. Find a place for the ultraviolet chamber where as it can not come in
contact with water and when the tubing is installed there will not be any
kinks in the tubing.
5. Installation for inline applications: Model number 9w, 13w, 24w, 36w and
55w.
a. Place the UV in an area where as it will not come in contact with
water or in direct contact with elements, such as rain, direct sunlight,
or flooding.
b. Now install the barbed tubing fittings.
6. Place the gasket onto the flange of the barbed tubing fittings. The use of
silicone o-ring lubricant aids in creating a good seal.
7. Place the barbed tubing fitting/gasket onto the threaded opening on the
ultraviolet chamber. Now slide the threaded nut over the barbed tubing
fitting and tighten. Hands tighten only. If the threaded nut is to tight the
fitting may leak.
8. Repeat step 2 for the discharge. Do not reduce the discharge tubing. The
discharge tubing must be at least as large as the intake tubing.
Note: When using larger tubing it may be necessary to saw off the smaller adapters.
A. Secure the flexible tubing with hose clamps.
B. Turn on water supply.
C. Plug the ultraviolet sterilizer into a GFCI electrical outlet only.

INSTALLATION OF UV PL BULB
1. Follow all safeguards and warnings
2. Unscrew the threaded PL bulb cap on the end of the ultraviolet sterilizer.
Once unscrewed the inside of the cap will reveal the PL light bulb socket.
3. Remove the PL ultraviolet bulb from the box. Important: Do not touch the
quartz part of the bulb. If needed use a clean cloth to handle the bulb.
4. Align the pins with the holes in the bulb socket. Press the bulb directly
into the holes in the bulb socket. Avoid all angles; failure to do so may
cause permanent damage to the bulb and/or the bulb socket.
5. Screw cap back onto the UV sterilizer.

MAINTENANCE
Before doing any maintenance on the ultraviolet sterilizer, the power supply and water
supply must be disconnected. Only in rare situations does the quartz sleeve ever
have to be removed. If necessary use a coin or a large flat head screw driver to gently
and carefully remove the quartz sleeve. If excess force is used the quartz sleeve will
break. After removed use a soft clean cloth to gently remove any excess grim and/or
debris. Reassemble using a small amount of silicone o ring lubricant placed on the o
ring prior to sliding into the main body of the ultraviolet sterilizer.
The PL ultraviolet bulb needs to be replaced every 8,000-9,000 hours. This will insure
optimum performance.
A. Follow all safeguards and warnings
B. Unscrew the threaded PL bulb cap on the end of the ultraviolet sterilizer.
Once unscrewed the inside of the cap will reveal the PL light bulb socket.
C. Remove the PL UV bulb from the box. Important: Do not touch the quartz
part of the bulb. If needed use a clean cloth to handle the bulb.
D. Align the pins with the holes in the bulb socket. Press the bulb directly into
the holes in the bulb socket. Avoid all angles; failure to do so may cause
permanent damage to the bulb and/or the bulb socket.
E. Screw cap back onto the UV sterilizer.
F. Replacement quartz sleeves and quartz bulbs are available at your
independent dealer.
Note: The efficiency of the Terminator UV Sterilizer depends on the duration the UV
light is contact with the water. Thus the rate of water flow not the way the water travels
will relate to the efficiency of the UV sterilizer.
