3. GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
3.1 Mounting instructions
The Quantum should be either installed horizontally or vertically allowing enough space for the pipe
connections, wiring and maintenance of lamps/quartz sleeve. 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 Quantum must be installed within a dry, permanent weather-proof area. In
any case where water or moisture enters theenclosure the warranty willbe void.
Caution: If the 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.

3.2 Pipe work
The Quantum should beplaced 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

6
Fig. 5
3.3 Flow direction
The Quantum is factory set to accept input water flow entering on the left and exiting on the right, this can
be reversed by rotating the flow switch 180 degrees (i.e. ½ turn - see Fig. 6).

7
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.

8
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.
For pipework 50-mm or 1½“ in diameter.
Fig.7
All factory unions are made from an 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 Quantum, use the O-rings provided
to put in the groove on the end of the Manifold Assembly.

When the unit is powered on the UV lamp is switched on, the UV lamp will switch off under the following
conditions i.e.
•Dosing pump ‘On’ (and for 30 minutes after the dosing pump has completed dosing)

12
•No or low water flow (the UV lamp(s) cannot be switched on unless the unit is receiving sufficient
flow) See page 9 for flow requirements.
UV Lamp Life
Whenever the UV lamp is ‘On’ a timer counts down from
14,000 hours and the remaining UV lamp life is displayed.
From 14,000 hours to 500 hours the LED in the control
panel will light in green. When 499 hours is reached the
LED colour will change to amber, when 0 hours are
reached the LED light will change to red indicating that the
lamp(s) must be changed.
When the UV lamp(s) are replaced the lamp life timer
must be reset to 14,000 hours. In the UV lamp life mode
select ‘Reset UV Lamp’ by pressing and releasing the
O.K. button, then immediately press and hold the O.K.
button until the display shows ‘SAVED’ then release the
O.K. button, the display will then show ‘UV Life 14,000
Hrs’. Please note power failure does not affect this lamp
life countdown.
Chemical Dosing Set-Up
The controller is pre-programmed to dose two chemical types:
A. Hydrogen Peroxide / Active Oxygen / H₂O₂
B. Liquid Chlorine
To set the type of chemical: use the / buttons until “DOSE CHEMICAL” is displayed, press the
O.K. button and then use the / buttons to choose:
A. ‘H2O2’ or
B. ‘CHLORINE’
Press the O.K. button to select
A. Dosing Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂)
After selecting ‘H2O2’ in Part 1 the display will now show ‘H2O2 DOSE’ the / buttons select the
correct dosage volume in ml (millilitres) –Refer to Table A for suggested H₂O₂dosing figures.
Once the correct dosage volume is displayed press the O.K button to confirm, the display will then show
‘H2O2 START’
You now need to enter the time that you would like the dosing to take place.
NOTE:
•The time must be entered in the 24-Hour format and the dosing will take place at
this time every day (24-Hours).
•The time selected must be at a time when the main filtration pump will be running.

13
•Once the desired time has been selected press the ‘O.K.’ button and the display will
then show ‘SAVED’.
•If the dosing volume is set to 0.0 (ml) the peristaltic pump will remain off.
•In the event of power loss: the programmed settings (dosing volume and dosing
time) will remain stored. If the power to the controller is switched off for longer than
3-Hours the current time will need to be re-programmed, this is indicated to the
operator by the clock flashing.
H2O2Dosage Requirements
•Dosage amounts are set in ml/day (millilitres per day)
•Use the below reference table as a guide.
•To calculate your pool volume, see Pages 21-22 at the rear of this manual.

Table A
NOTE:
•The above table is based on dosing Hydrogen Peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ) with a 32%
concentration and a water temperature of 28⁰C.
•For a concentration of 12% the above dosing amount should be multiplied by 3 (i.e. the
dose for a 50m³ pool would need to be increased to 960ml/day when the H ₂ O ₂ strength
is 12%).
•For any other concentration strengths, the dose amount should be adjusted pro-rata as
required. The digital controller will automatically sense the temperature of your water
and adjust the required dose accordingly.
B. Dosing Liquid Chlorine
•When dosing with liquid chlorine the daily dosage amount should be halved to enable half the dose
to be delivered in the morning (CL 1 DOSE) and half the dose to be delivered in the afternoon (CL
2 DOSE).
•The controller does not monitor the free chlorine level. The pool free chlorine levels must be
regularly checked, and the dosage volume adjusted if required.
After selecting ‘CHLORINE’ in Part 1 the display will show ‘CL 1 DOSE’ using the / buttons select
the correct dosage volume in ml (millilitres). Once the correct dosage volume is displayed press the O.K
button to confirm, the display will then show ‘CL 1 START’.
You now need to enter the time that you would like the CL 1 dosing to take place. Once the correct time
is selected press the ‘O.K.’ button.
The display will then show ‘CL 2 DOSE’ you now need to repeat the above process to programme the CL
2 DOSE (volume) and CL 2 START (time).
NOTE:

14
•The time must be entered in the 24-Hour format and the dosing will take place at this time
every day (24-Hours).
•The time selected must be at a time when the main filtration pump will be running.
•It is recommended to keep the dosage volumes in equal halves, however should you need
to adjust to have a larger proportion during the CL 1 or CL 2 periods then this can be
programmed accordingly, if you only wish to use one of the dosing periods then this is also
possible.
•If the dosing volume for both CL 1 and CL 2 periods is set to 0.0 (ml) the peristaltic pump
will remain off.

the current time will need to be re-programmed, this is indicated to the operator by
the clock flashing.
Set Current Time
•To complete the set up you need to programme the current time: Use the / buttons until
‘SET TIME’ is displayed, press the O.K. Button.
•Use the / buttons as required to select the current time
•NOTE: the time must be entered in the 24-Hour format.
•The display will now revert to showing the UV lamp life remaining and the current time.
Shock Dose
The shock dose feature enables the operator to shock dose the pool immediately with a chosen volume
of the dispensing chemical. This may be necessary following heavy use of the pool or a change of water
conditions.
To activate the Shock Dose feature uses the / buttons to scroll until ‘SHOCK DOSE’ is displayed,
press the ‘O.K’ button.
Using the / buttons select the volume (in ml/millilitres) that you would like to shock dose the pool
with. When the correct value is shown, press the ’OK’ button to confirm. The display will show ‘SAVED’
and the shock dose will begin immediately.
NOTE: The shock dose will only begin if the main filtration pump is operational.
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:

15
•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. Fig. 11.
5.1 Essential parts to carry out annual maintenance including our reference codes

5.2 Lamp replacement and quartz sleeve cleaning
Removing the lamp and quartz sleeve

16
Unscrew all the highlighted fasteners
Unclamping the clip from body
1. Pull the clip in shown direction to
unlock from body
2. Pull the second side after unlocking
the 1st side
Remove Lamp holder Clip from Hard
cap
Unmount the Hard cap from Blue lamp Holder
Carefully remove the blue lamp holder
shroud and white plastic electrical end
caps from the lamp end.
Gently slide the lamp out ensuring that no
pressure is applied to the glass quartz sleeve

17
Unscrew the blue quartz sleeve
locking nut anticlockwise. Both ends
must be unscrewed before the quartz
sleeve can be removed
Slide the O-ring off the quartz sleeve
The quartz sleeve can now be removed.
Cleaning the quartz sleeve
Clean the sleeve and polish with a soft cloth or paper towel.
If you live in a hard water area there may be some limescale on the quartz sleeve. This can be easily
removed by soaking the sleeve in a proprietary kettle descaling solution (follow the manufacturer’s
instructions).
NOTE: Failure to remove the limescale will limit the effectiveness of the UV lamp(s).
Assembly process
•Firstly, slide the clean dry quartz glass sleeve into the unit.
•Locate the ’O’ rings carefully on the ends of the quartz sleeve.
•Make sure the threads are clean, wipe a little silicone grease onto the threads. As these threads
are only serviced periodically, this lubrication will help to prevent them binding together.
•Hand tighten the blue quartz sleeve locking nuts onto the unit. Be sure not to overtighten as this
can damage the quartz sleeve.
•Replace the UV lamp(s) with a new one(s) and reconnect blue lamp holders.
NOTE: To avoid bending the lamp pins during the reassembly, pull the plastic fitting out of the
shroud. Connect it to the lamp and push the shroud back in to place.

18
NOTE: Pinch the blue lamp holder shroud as you reassemble the unit to release any
trapped air. Failure to release the trapped air may cause the lamp holder to
disconnect from the lamp end. Turn on the water supply to check for leaks before
reconnecting the electric supply.
Important: The plastic body and blue compression fittings have beenmanufactured from polymers that
have been specifically stabilised to protect them from the effects of the UVC emitted from
the UV lamps. Despite this UV protection they will be eroded by a combination of the UVC
and water flow. As a matter of course they should be inspected whenever a lamp change
is carried out, to ensure they are not showing excessive wear and tear. Replacement parts
are available.
5.3 Intelligent dosing pump routine maintenance
We recommend that the dosing tube is changed every 6-12 months in order to prevent any wear and tear
and keep performance to an optimum. The following steps will guide you how to replace the dosing tube:
STEP ONE
Unscrew the two screws securing the plastic cover
and remove. Rotate the grey connections caps to
release the tubing.
STEP TWO
Remove the connection point on the left-hand side,
and then carefullymanually rotate the cam to allow
remove of the dosing tube.

19
STEP THREE
Cut the two black securing ties at either end of the
tube. This will then release the tube, which can be
discarded.
STEP FOUR
Take the replacement tube and re-attach
connection points. Loop securing ties in place in
order to seal to the connection points. Once
securely in place cut the excess tie and dispose of.
STEP FIVE
Place dosing tube into position on the left-hand
side. Carefully rotate the cam clockwise, whilst
feeding the pipe back into place.
STEP SIX
Replace the suction and output tubes on to the
connection caps and rotate to secure tubing back
into place. Replace clear cover and screw into
position.

8. CALCULATING POOL VOLUMES
The following pages will show you how to calculate the volume of the pool.
NOTE: For pools with different depths:
D1 + D2 = Average Depth
2
If your pool has a sloping bottom, then take the deepest measurement (D2) and the shallowest (D1). If
there are different levels, then you need to do several calculations of area for each depth and add them
up at the end.
Rectangle and Square Pools
Volume = Length (L) x Width (W) x Depth (D) or Average Depth
Circular
Volume = π (3.142) x Radius2 x Depth (D) OR Average Depth
Radius = Diameter divided by 2
Ellipses
Volume = π (3.142) x A x B x Depth (D) OR Average Depth
