Transformer and Bulb
Compatibility
The UVinex System should come fully-assembled (do not disassemble). Examine all
parts while unpacking. Carefully inspect UVinex Bulb for damage incurred during
shipping. If the unit appears damaged, contact the dealer you purchased it from for a
replacement. Do not use it if damage is evident.

If installing a single UV, you may use either the left or right Skimmer UV
mount on the Standard Skimmerlter. If using the compact Skimmer Filter
only use the center UV mount.
If using a single UV, a Bae Block can be used to prevent water movement
through the unused UV chamber. This provides improved UV exposure.
Place UV into skimmer by inserting the bulb into the UV mount.
Use a Philips screwdriver and the screws provided to secure the unit. Extra
screws are provided.
To start the system: Plug UV into a GFCI protected outlet. UV must be used in
conjunction with a ground fault current interrupter socket (GFCI). (If you do
not have a GFCI, contact a licensed electrician before using the UV.)

Specs and Maintenance
Recommended Flow Rates
For water clarication, the pump needs to ow the total volume of the 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.
18 Watt UVinex™ / 28 Watt High Output
Minimum 33% of the total volume of gallons per hour (gph)
Maximum 2000 gallons per hour (GPH)
26 Watt UVinex™ / 35 Watt High Output
Minimum 33% of the total volume of gallons per hour (gph)
Maximum 3000 gallons per hour (GPH)
50 Watt UVinex™ / 55 Watt High Output
Minimum 33% of the total volume of gallons per hour (gph)
Maximum 5000 gallons per hour (GPH)
Maintenance
Prior to performing any maintenance, always unplug the UVinex™ system. Use caution
when removing or replacing bulbs.
Every Three Months:
The 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.
Winterizing
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 40F 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.
