Installation & Operating Instructions
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION. KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This Vorton Ultra Violet Clarifier is electrically operated and
designed to work with an existing pond filtration system.
Typically this should consist of a mechanical and biological
filter, filter pump and connecting hose. The unit is intended
for household outdoor use.
Attention: UV Caution
WARNING: This appliance contains a UVC emitter.
Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the
housing may result in the escape of dangerous UVC
radiation. UVC radiation may, even in little doses,
cause harm to the eyes and skin.
The Lamp is fitted with an interlock that will turn the
lamp off in the event that the housing is inadvertently
opened. When switched on, the lamp can be checked
for operation by looking for a bluish glow from the
translucent hosetails. sight window. Do not run the
Vorton UVC dry.
WARNING: Do not operate the UVC emitter when it is
removed from the appliance enclosure.
Important
This appliance must only be used by or under the
supervision of a responsible adult who is capable of using
the appliance in a safe way and who understands the
hazards involved. Use and store this appliance out of reach
of children and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities.
Warning:
Safety & Electrical Connections
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT ALL
APPLIANCES IN THE POND FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE PUTTING YOUR HANDS IN THE
WATER WHILST EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED,
REPAIRED, MAINTAINED OR HANDLED.
The clear tube inside the unit is made from quartz glass
and care should be taken during installation and
maintenance. We recommend the use of eye protection
and suitable gloves.
The Vorton UVC is weatherproof but not submersible.
Position the unit horizontally near the pond but not
where it can fall into the water or become waterlogged.
Important: This product is designed to be permanently
wired to the mains supply. For connection to the mains
supply use only 3-core cable (ref HO5 RN-F). This has a
minimum copper cross-section of 0.75mm2with
Polycloroprene-Rubber insulation. The termination to
the mains supply should be:
a) Permanent.
b) Inside a dry weatherproof enclosure.
c) Through a double pole switched fused spur
to BS 3676.
d) Fitted with a 3 or 5 amp fuse.
Exposed cable runs should be sensibly positioned and
protected by armoured conduit, especially if there is a
risk of contact with gardening equipment such as forks
and lawnmowers, or children and domestic animals.
A 30mA maximum Residual Current Device (RCD) MUST
be fitted to the mains supply.
Permanent installations to the mains supply
(hard wiring), must conform to the National and Local
wiring regulations. If in any doubt about wiring to the
mains supply, consult a qualified electrician or local
electricity authority.
Protect from frost. In cold winter weather
(when fish are inactive and algae growth ceases) the
unit may be switched off. It should then be removed,
drained of water
Installing this product in the garden is classed as
‘notifiable’ in the Regulations for England and Wales.
The Regulations require you to tell your local
authority building control department that you
intend to install this product before installation. Your
local authority will let you know how you can get your
installation approved.
General Guidance
Performance - We recommend that for maximum
performance this product should be used with a Hozelock
Cyprio filter pump and filter. The unit should be run 24 hours
a day throughout the feeding season. Failure to do this
may result in green water and will invalidate the Clearwater
Guarantee.
Flow Rate - For best results the entire contents
of the pond should pass through the Vorton UVC every
1½ - 2½ hours. We recommend that your pump is sized to
supply the required flow rate against the full hydraulic head
(the vertical distance between the pond water surface and
filter inlet, plus an allowance of 0.6-0.9m, (2-3ft), for hose
friction losses).
Pressure Rating - These Vorton UVC models have a
maximum pressure rating of 0.7bar (or 7m, 0.07Mpa).
The unit is therefore unsuitable for filtration systems that
produce high levels of back pressure such as sand filters.
Pond Treatments - Some medications/ treatments can
degrade very quickly by UVC radiation. Switch off the unit
during disease treatment.
Extra care should be taken with any hose connections as
leaks will result in loss of water from the pond.
Spare Parts - Use only genuine Hozelock Cyprio
replacement parts.
Installation
The Hozelock Cyprio Vorton UVC can be added to most
filter systems before or after filtration, the effect is the
same. The water must be pumped through the unit - not
gravity fed. A typical installation is shown in fig. 1.
Location - the unit MUST be installed horizontally and
on a solid surface. The lid of a filter may be suitable if
sturdy enough.
To mount the unit, using 3 suitable fixings, screw the
base to the mounting surface. (See fig. 2).

Cut two universal hose tails (supplied) to suit the correct
size of hose. Fit the hose tails to the inlet and outlet
threaded connections using the seals and threaded nuts
supplied (see fig. 3). There are 4 openings on the main
body of the UVC and the hose connections can be made
to either side of the UVC. The inlet should be connected
at the electrical head end of the appliance and the
outlet at the opposite end. It is important that the
outlet is at the opposite end of the main body so that
water is forced to flow the full length of the appliance.
Push the inlet and outlet hose onto the hose tails and
secure with a suitable hose clip. We recommend the use
of Hozelock Cyprio Hose and Hose Clips (available
separately). Avoid kinks and sharp bends. Keep hose
lengths as short as possible to minimise losses in flow.
To fit the lamp refer to Section Maintenance.
Warning. This appliance must be earthed, and it is
essential that connections are made using the following
code. The BROWN lead must be connected to the LIVE
terminal marked ‘L’. The BLUE lead must be connected
to the NEUTRAL terminal marked N The GREEN/
YELLOW lead must be connected to the earth terminal
marked .
GREEN/YELLOW - Earth
BROWN -Live
BLUE -Neutral
Refer to Section, Safety and Electrical Connections, for
termination to the mains supply. The supply cable of
this Vorton UVC cannot be Replaced, if the cable is
damaged the UVC should be scrapped. We recommend
that the pump and UVC are connected to the same
supply so that they can be switched off together.
Switch the pump and Vorton on and check for leaks.
Check the lamp is operating by looking for a bluish glow
from the sight window
User Instructions
Coupled to a Hozelock Cyprio pond filter and filter pump, a
Vorton UVC should produce clear water within two weeks.
However, UV light can delay filter maturation. When
installing a new biological filter, allow 6 - 8 weeks before
switching on the UVC. Speed up maturation by adding a
maturing agent such as Hozelock Cyprio filter start. During
maturation your pond may go green, but should be clear
within two weeks of switching on your Vorton UVC.
Ammonia and nitrite levels may initially rise due to
decomposition of algae trapped in the filter. (Check these
levels with Hozelock Cyprio test kits). Should this occur, stop
feeding until ammonia and nitrite levels fall, whereafter
feeding may be gradually increased to normal levels.
Run the filter and Vorton UVC 24 hours a day during the
feeding season. Should you need to switch off the pump
and filter, also switch off the Vorton UVC. Continued
filtration in winter is recommended. UVC treatment in
winter is optional, but if there is any risk of freezing, the
unit should be switched off, drained and removed. This will
prevent damage to the product.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the electricity supply before starting
to handle, maintain, repair or install any equipment in the
pond. Read the relevant maintenance instructions before
opening the appliance.
How well your Vorton UVC performs is related to the
strength of the UV radiation produced. This will slowly
decline from the day your lamp(s) are fitted. The UVC
lamp has an effective life of 12 months. You need to
change the lamp when there is a significant reduction in
water clarity. Make sure this is due to an expired lamp
and not a badly maintained filter or a dirty/limescaled
quartz sleeve. Both can greatly reduce UV transmission
into the water.
Change the lamp at the start of the new season. Even
though the lamp still glows it may not be giving out any
useful UV radiation.
To fit a replacement lamp:
Unscrew the four fixing screws securing the electrical
head (See fig. 4 ). The head should then pull gently
away from the main body (See fig. 5).

A flat head screwdriver can be
inserted into the slots on either side
of the electrical head in order to
gently lever the electrical head
away from the main body if
necessary (See Fig.6). (Fig. 12)
Unscrew the quartz tube locking
collar (i). Gently hold the quartz
tube (ii), lift up and remove
together with its o-rings (iii) and
locking collar.
Remove the old lamp by gently
pulling it from its holder and
remove the black protection cap
from the end of the lamp
(Fig. 12 (iv)) and remove the
reflector plate (Fig. 12 (v)).
Dispose of the old lamp according to local regulations
and fit the new lamp.
Refit the reflector plate and push the black cap on to
the end of the lamp.
Slide the quartz tube down over the lamp. Ensure that
the two o-rings at the base of the quartz tube are clean
and free from debris.
Slide the locking collar down over the quartz tube and
screw down. You should screw down until the stop of the
locking collar hits the stop of the housing so that the
collar cannot be screwed down any more.
Refit the electrical housing. The housing can only be
fitted in one position so do not try to force it down. Once
in position, replace the 5 screws. The screws must be
fully screwed down to ensure that the interlock switch is
activated.
Especially in hard water areas, the quartz tube may
become covered in limescale, which will reduce
efficiency. To gain access to the tube and lamp refer to
section Maintenance. Clean the tube with a soft cloth
and a gentle de-scaler, rinse in water before refitting.
DO NOT SUBMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER.

Wash out the inside of the main body to remove dirt and
debris.
Always check the system thoroughly for leaks when
restarting.
Winter Storage
When not in use, the unit should be removed, thoroughly
washed, dried and stored in a dry frost protected area.
Checklist
If your Vorton fails to produce clear water, please check the
following table before contacting the Helpline.
CHECK HOW
The UVC lamp is
on and glowing
Make sure that the sight window is
visible, so that you can see a bluish
glow. This may be easier during
late evening as it gets dark
The age of the
lamp
Keep a record of the date the lamp
was installed. We recommend a
new lamp be fitted at the start of
the new season
The Quartz Sleeve
is clean
Refer to section Maintenance
That the pump
is delivering
sufficient flow of
water
All the pond water should pass
through the Vorton UVC once every
1 ½ - 2 ½ hours. i.e. a 10,000 ltr
pond needs a flow rate of between
4000 and 6000 ltr/hr, while trying
to achieve as near to the upper
limit as possible
The pump is at
the opposite end
of the pond to the
outlet of the filter
Inspection - This is to prevent
short-circuiting of the filtration
system, the same water being
filtered over and over again, while
other areas of the pond remain
static and unfiltered
