Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Mini Quantum pool sanitising system, the latest sanitisation technology,
manufactured to the highest standards in England.
To ensure years of trouble-free service, please read and follow these instructions for proper installation,
maintenance and use. Incorrect installation will affect your warranty.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS:
•Ultraviolet light is damaging to your eyes or skin! Never handle or look directly at an
illuminated UV lamp(s).
•This unit must be earthed.
•Power must be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA
•Do not run this unit dry
•Do not cover this unit
•The unit must not be submerged in water
•Carefully examine the unit after installation. It should not be powered on if there is water
on any parts not intended to be wet
•If the unit shows any sign of water leakage immediately disconnect power supply
•If the quartz sleeve is cracked, replace it immediately
•To avoid injuries young children should never be allowed near UV steriliser
•Failure to disconnect the power from the UV steriliser and pump before servicing or
maintenance could result in personal injury or property damage.
2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Mini Quantum is available in 30W single tube format, supplied complete with flow switch and
either an analogue lamp life indicator and reset switch, or digital lamp life countdown with intelligent
dosing pump.

3. GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
3.1 Mounting instructions
The Mini Quantum should be either installed horizontally or vertically allowing enough space for the pipe
connections, wiring and maintenance of lamps/quartz sleeve(s). It should be firmly secured, using the
fixing kit provided, to a solid wall.
NOTE: When mounting the UV, it is essential to leave a clearance space of at least 1 metre
from one side of the unit to allow access to replace the lamp(s) and/or quartz
sleeve(s) when required. Both the lamps and the quartz sleeve can be replaced
from either end of the unit; if installing vertically the 1m clearance space must be
above or below the unit, if installing horizontally the 1m clearance space must be to
the left or right of the unit.
WARNING: The Mini Quantum must be installed within a dry, permanent weather-proof
area. In any case where water or moisture enters the enclosure the warranty
will be void.
Caution: If the Mini Quantum is unused during the winter months, it must be drained to prevent
frost damage. Water must not be allowed to freeze inside the unit as this will cause
severe damage.
See Fig. 3 for mounting instructions when securing to the wall or floor.

3.2 Pipe work
The Mini Quantum should be placed downstream (after) of any pumps, filters and heating devices but
upstream (before) of any chemical dosing or similar water treatment (see Figs. 4 and 5).
Fig. 4
3.3 Flow direction
The Mini Quantum is factory set to accept input water flow entering on the left and exiting on the right,

7
Fig.5
The Flow can be reversed by rotating the flow switch 180 degrees (i.e. ½ turn - see Fig. 6).
Fig. 6
WARNING: The flow switch paddle can be damaged when reversing the flow direction if it is
lifted by more than 5mm from its housing and turned with force. If the flow switch
has been rotated it is important to ensure that it is finally locked in the correct
orientation perpendicular (at right angles) to the flow of water.
3.4 Connection
The unit is supplied with unions to allow connection to 2" or 63-mm rigid pipe. Reducers are also supplied
to allow connection to 50-mm or 1½" rigid pipe - see Fig 7.
For pipework 63-mm or 2” in diameter.

8
For pipework 50-mm or 1½“ in diameter.
Fig. 7
All factory unions are made from ABS plastic, when gluing connections to an ABS pipe an ABS cement
must be used or when using a PVC pipe, a Transition cement must be used (See Fig. 7).
There is no need to use mastic or PTFE tape to connect unions to the Mini Quantum, use the O-rings
provided to put in the groove on the end of the Manifold Assembly.
NOTE: Be sure to apply the glue evenly and to all surfaces that will be in contact to reduce the
risk of leakage.
3.5 Electrical connection
WARNINGS:
•This device must be installed by a qualified Electrician following the
instructions provided in this manual. The manufacturer will not be liable
for any issues caused by poor or improper installation.
•Any alterations made to the unit (unless stated) will affect the warranty.
This also applies if components are changed for non-standard
components acquired anywhere other than direct from the manufacturer.
•Incorrect installation may result in serious damage to property/persons.
•The Mini Quantum must be installed in accordance with the
country/regional requirements and regulations and an Electrical
Installation Certificate must be provided on completion of the installation.
•The power supply must be fitted with a 30mA RCD.
•Never look directly at an illuminated UV lamp.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Flow requirements
Minimum flow rate:
•1m3/hour (1,000 litres per hour)
Maximum flow rate:
•30W (Mini) = 12m3/hour (12,000 litres per hour)
•A higher flow rate will require the installation of a bypass to prevent damage to the unit
This unit is a plug and play device so as long as the minimum flow rate is achieved the unit will work as
soon as the power is switched on.
4.2 Lamp life indicator
Under normal conditions the UV lamp(s) inside the unit have a usable life of 14,000 hours. The unit is fitted
with a ‘Lamp Life Indicator’ LED in order to remind you to change the lamp(s) after this set period of time.
At initial ‘Power On’ of the Mini Quantum UV the LED indicator will light in an Amber colour for one second
to indicate that the time setting is 14,000 hours and immediately change colour to Green to indicate that
the timer has started.
When the timer reaches <500 hours the LED indicator will change colour from Green to Amber to indicate
that the UV lamp(s) is getting near to its end of life. At this point replacement lamp(s) should be ordered
from your distributor. When the timer reaches zero the LED indicator will change colour from Amber to
Red to signal that the UV lamp(s) should be changed.
4.3 Water quality
The water quality MUST be within the following limits:
•PH: 6.8 –8.0
•Total Alkalinity (TA): 80 –140 ppm (parts per million)
•Chloride Content MAX: 150 mg/litre
•Free Chlorine: 2.0 mg/litre
•Total Bromine: Max 4.5 mg/litre
•Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)/Calcium hardness: 200 –1,000 ppm
WARNING: Failure to meet the water quality limits will void the warranty.
Upon completion of the installation, run the water-circulating pump to purge the system and heater of air
(i.e. remove any trapped air in the system).

5. MAINTENANCE
To avoid any water leaks and optimum performance annual maintenance of the UV steriliser is
essential. Failure to do so could result in damage to the product and significant drop in efficiency.
Annual maintenance includes:
•Changing of lamps(s) if necessary. Fig. 8.
•Inspection and cleaning of quartz sleeve. Replace if any cracks are discovered. Fig. 9.
•Replacing all O-rings. Fig. 10.
•Replacing lamp connectors (white plastic insert inside the blue bulb cap) if corroded, wet,
damaged or overheated.
5.1 Essential parts to carry out annual maintenance including our reference codes.
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance isolate from the main power supply, turn off
circulation pump and drain the unit.
