Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 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 Quantum is available in 55W single tube and 110W double tube formats, 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 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

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).

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.
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.

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 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:
•4m3/hour (4,000 litres per hour)
Maximum flow rate:
•55W (single tube) = 12m3/hour (14,000 litres per hour)
•110W (double tube) = 24m3/hour (28,000 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 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.
