It is important to note that there are factors that affect how you select the right size
of CUV for your pool.
Your CUV will keep your pool clear of green water up to its maximum capacity as
stated above along with an appropriate sanitiser.
The CUV range is an effective unit and has multiple uses. It can be used on large
pools, aquaculture and other installations, please contact your local dealer for
further details.
FLOW RATES
Please note: For optimum performance we recommend that you pass the entire
volume of your pool through the CUV unit at least once every 4 to 8 hours.
The slower the flow the higher the dosage of UV.
We do not recommend the use of pumps with operating pressures in excess of
2.5 bar / 25 metres of head.

POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE CUV
For best performance, we recommend installing the CUV in a horizontal orientation.
Mounting brackets
Mounting brackets are pre-fitted to the CUV for easy installation (except CUV-110N)
PLEASE NOTE: Wall mounting screws and washers are not provided.
Fitting the brackets to the CUV-110N
Two stainless steel mounting brackets are included. These are located within the
cardboard packaging end fitment. Hex screws and nuts are pre-installed in position
to secure the brackets to the unit. Follow the steps below to undertake this.
Remove brackets
from both cardboard
packaging end
fitments.
Double check the
brackets are the correct
way up to help with
wall mounting.
Screws and nuts are
pre-installed in position
where the brackets
need to go.
At one end of the UV,
unscrew the nuts only
but leave the screws and
cable holder in place.
With the nuts off, fit the
bracket over the screw
threads with drill holes
facing upwards - ready
for wall mounting.
Using an 8mm spanner
to hold the screw
heads, tighten up the
nuts to secure the
bracket.
Repeat the process for
the bracket at the other
end of the UV.
Your CUV is now ready
to be mounted to the
wall.

CONNECTION TO YOUR PIPEWORK
Please note that there is no correct direction of flow through the unit, either end of
the unit may be used as the inlet or outlet.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten fittings.
IMPORTANT: Valves positioned after the CUV must never be closed when the pump
is in operation. DO NOT "dead-head" the unit.
All units are fully serviceable without removing the unit therefore they do not need a
by-pass to be installed.
11

WATER TESTING THE QUARTZ, O-RINGS AND LOCKING NUTS
Now that the unit is in position and connected to pipework, the quartz sleeve and
O-ring at each end can be leak tested to ensure that they have been fitted properly.
Failure to test for leaks and improper installation at this stage may cause water to
seep into and damage the bulb socket and end cap sealing ring.
STEP 1: Fit quartz sleeve, o-rings and
locking nuts.
STEP 2: Check the locking nuts are hand
tight only.
STEP 3: Position and mount UV and
connect to pipework.
STEP 4: Turn on pump and pump water
through unit.
STEP 5: Check locking nuts for signs of
water leaking.
STEP 7: If no water leaks, quartz sleeve has
been properly installed. Proceed to connection
to the electricity supply on page 13.
STEP 6: If water seeps from locking nuts,
revisit installing the quartz sleeve on page 8.
Failure to test for leaks and
improper installation at this
stage may cause water to seep
into and damage the bulb socket
and ballast. Water damage from
improper installation is NOT
covered under warranty.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the UV bulb is not lit, then you need to investigate the power to your unit.
• Has your RCD tripped? If yes, check your wiring and reset.
• Examine the UV bulb for signs of failure, and replace if necessary.
• Is the UV bulb fitted correctly? Unscrew the end caps and ensure correct fitting as
per the instructions as described in this manual.
• Are the end caps dry? If not, allow to dry thoroughly. We recommend the use of a
hair-dryer for this.
• CUV units with multiple bulbs are electrically linked as a pair. Therefore 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.
The unit worked well when I first installed it but recently my pool has gradually
gone green again – what is wrong?
Quartz sleeve may have become dirty and requires cleaning. Also make sure you have
the right model for your pool size. Ensure your pool filtration is removing waste and
debris efficiently. Dirt in pools will affect the efficiency of the CUV. Check that your
pool water volume is pumping through the CUV every 4 to 8 hours.
Check chemical levels and ensure they are within industry standards.
Only after you have carried out these checks should you contact your Certikin dealer,
who will then be able to advise you further.
The unit appears to be leaking from the end fittings?
This could possibly be caused by an incorrectly fitted, damaged or overtightened
O-Ring on the quartz sleeve. Please check the quartz sleeve O-Ring, reposition it or if
necessary replace it with a new one. Follow the steps on page 12 to test.
IMPORTANT: Do not fit the bulb socket or end cap until the issue is solved.
If water enters the bulb socket it can cause irreparable damage to bulb socket and
ballast. Damage caused by improper fitting of the quartz sleeve, o-rings and locking
nuts are not covered under warranty.

19
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
