Uvinex Installation

For green water clarication, the pump needs to ow the total volume of pond water past
the UV no less than every two hours. In full size Skimmerlters®two UVs may be used for
increased clarication.
Prior to performing any maintenance always unplug the UVinex™ system. Use caution when
removing or replacing bulbs.
Every Three Months:
Coated bulb should be wiped with a clean cloth & rinsed with clean water.
Annually or As Needed:
Replace UVinex™ bulb every 12 months for optimal water clarity.
Allowing the UVinex™ system to freeze can result in breakage to the bulb.
Winterize pond equipment before ice develops on the pond. Keep equipment winterized until
spring when the water temperature rises to 40°F or higher consistently.
To winterize UV:
1) Disconnect electrical connections.
2) Remove the UV from the Skimmerlter®.
3) Dry UV unit thoroughly and clean bulb.
4) Store indoors in a safe place.
