•

How many hours per day should I use a UV on my system?

We recommend that the UV sterilizer be placed in continuous operation for 24-hours-per-day 7-days-

per-week after the biological filtration systems are established (typically about 4 weeks after starting

or restarting a system).

•

How often should I change the bulb?

The average life expectancy of bulbs in Aqua Logic UV sterilizers is 12 months of continuous

operation for all ALCUV units. Even though the bulb may still be glowing with blue light after 12

months, the bulb may no longer produce the kill-rate you desire.

•

What are the maximum pressures that I can use on Aqua Logic UV sterilizers?

ALCUV models may be used in applications up to a maximum of 50 psi.

WARNING:

Never use Aqua Logic UV sterilizers on systems which are connected to municipal

water systems since the available pressure may exceed the maximum ratings of the equipment and

serious damage or injury may result.

•

Can I use an Aqua Logic UV sterilizer outdoors?

ALCUV sterilizers may be used in outdoor applications as long as the unit does not stand in water or

is subjected to freezing temperatures.

WARNING:

Never allow any UV sterilizer be exposed to freezing temperature. Allowing the unit to

be exposed to freezing temperatures may result in breakage to the bulb, the quartz sleeve or to the

PVC chamber.

Damage to the unit caused by freezing is not covered under warranty.
