WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI
should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI
should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating
the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
CAUTION - This product should be installed by a professional service technician or similar person who is qualified in electrical
equipment installation. Improper installation and/or operation could cause serious personal injury, property damage or death.
Improper installation and/or operation will void the warranty.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of personal injury the power supply must be installed on and wired to the load side of the time clock,
electronically controlled switch, or relay load side, so that it will receive power only when the pool pump is on. The Power supply
should never be energized when water is not flowing through the unit.
WARNING - ELECTRIC SHOCK - Disconnect all AC power during installation or performing any service work.
CAUTION - To prevent possible fire or electrical shock, use only replacement lamp specified by the manufacturer.
CAUTION - Do not use system if cord is damaged or frayed.
CAUTION - Lamps and quartz sleeves are made of glass and are extremely delicate. Care should be taken when handling or
replacing these components. Wear cotton gloves when handling lamps or sleeves. Hold lamps by the ends only. Never touch
the glass with bare hands. Wipe any fingerprints from lamps and sleeves with rubbing alcohol.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

The system utilizes an Ultraviolet Sterilization Chamber to treat your water. This powerful process
eliminates contaminants in water and reduces the use of pool chemicals. No toxic chemicals are used,
no metals or minerals, only pure light.
Using the existing pool pump, a specific amount of water is diverted into the UV chamber where it is
sterilized to the quality of drinking water. A microscopic residual of chlorine (.5-1.0 ppm) is
recommended for use with this system as a supplemental source of disinfection. For best results, the
pool pump should run at least 12 hours daily, (optimally 24 hours daily) for highest savings in chemical
usage and cost.

INSTALLATION
Mounting the Power Supply
CAUTION: FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE BUILDING AND ELECTRICAL CODES
1. Before making any electrical connections, mount the power
supply to a vertical surface. Since Precision is designed to turn on
only when the pump is running, locate this power supply within 8
feet of the source power for the pump. The Precision power
supply is wired to the same source power as the pump. See page
8 for electrical connections after mounting power supply.
2. Mount the aluminum bracket first on a
vertical surface at a height of approximately five (5)
feet above the ground using the screws provided
with the spacers against wall to allow air flow behind
bracket. Level the bracket using the oval hole for a
clean installation.
Dotted lines show alternate mounting holes for
mounting on a post.
3. Once bracket is secured, slide the power
supply down onto the bracket using slots on back of
the power supply. Push down onto bracket gently
until it hits the stops and is mounted securely in
place.

POOL WATER PREPARATION
OPERATION
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
OPEN THE POWER SUPPLY FOR ANY
REASON. IT IS SEALED AND NOT
DESIGNED TO BE REPAIRED IN THE
FIELD. A DEFECTIVE OR NON
FUNCTIONING POWER SUPPLY IS
REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT ONLY.
- Steady Blue LED = system has power and is
operating normally
- Flashing Blue LED = no flow to chamber. This
could be caused by the pool pump losing its
prime or from blockage in the plumbing. Check
water flow through system.
Note: The flow is determined using a
temperature sensor. Therefore, it may take a
few minutes to recognize that flow has
stopped when the system turns off. This is
not harmful to the Precision chamber.
- Steady Red LED = system error. This means
an error has occurred in the power supply.
Please go to www.solaxx.com to create an RMA
form which will be answered within 24 hours or
next business day to resolve this issue.
