Renaissance combines an Ultraviolet Sterilization Chamber with Ozone (O3) disinfection to treat your
water. These two powerful processes eliminate 99.99% of all contaminants in water and reduce the use
of pool chemicals up to 80%. No toxic chemicals are used, no metals or minerals, only pure light and
pure oxygen.
Using the existing pool pump, a specific amount of water is diverted into the UV/Ozone chamber where it
is sterilized to the quality of drinking water. Oxygen infused water is reintroduced into the water flow
where it continues to oxidize contaminants in the pool itself. A microscopic residual of chlorine (.5-1.0
ppm) is recommended for use with Renaissance 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.
1. Ultraviolet Lamp
produces UV light for
sterilization and Ozone
for oxidation
5. Simultaneously, Ozone
(O3) is captured inside the
quartz sleeve and
injected into water as it
enters the chamber.
3. Using the existing
pool pump, water flows
through the chamber
and is sterilized by UV
light from the lamp
4. A transparent quartz
sleeve surrounds the
lamp insulating it from
water flowing through
the chamber

When power is supplied to the system, the
perimeter of the power supply mirrors the LED
lights in the center of the faceplate overlay in
showing system status
- Steady Blue LED/Perimeter = system has
power and is operating normally
- Flashing Blue LED/Perimeter = 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.
- Steady Red LED/Perimeter = system error.
This means an error has occurred in the power
supply. Please go to www.fastrma.com to
create an RMA form which will answered within
24 hours or next business day to resolve this
issue.

parts inside). The Customer must arrange prepaid shipping for servicing of the warranted items after proper authorization (call 561-455-0252
ext 2). No packages will be accepted without a manufacturer issued Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA).
5. Entire Warranty
The express warranty above constitutes the sole and complete warranty and takes precedence over all other warranties, whether expressed
or implied, including a warranty for fitness for a particular purpose. No sales representative, dealer, distributor, or other person is authorized to
give any warranty on behalf of the manufacturer. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, prohibit the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or impose limitations on the scope of implied or express warranties (and the
waivers therein) that may be inconsistent with the express limitations set forth in this warranty. In such states, the above limitations may not
apply to you, or their application to you may be limited. This limited warranty shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
federal, state and local law. This limited warranty is valid only in the United States of America. You may have other rights depending on the state
