4. Operation

All pumps have to be cleaned regularly.

5. Turboflotor 5000

Protein skimmer for large aquaria up to 5,000 litres (please refer to separate manual).

6. UV-C sterilizer (optional)

UV sterilizer clear the water with the help of UV-C radiation. This radiation is emitted by special lamps. The UV-

C radiation kills all forms of life that is directly exposed to the radiation – microalgae, bacteria, protozoa and

other parasites. This results in crystal clear water and healthy fish.

7. Safety advices

The radiation of the UV-C lamps is dangerous. Direct contact with eyes or skin can result in irreversible damages.

Therefore, the unit must always be switched off before it is opened. The unit may only be switched on when the

water flow is on.

8. Maintenance

The UV-C lamp has a life span of approx. 8,000 hrs. The lamp has to be changed regularly. We recommend to

clean the quartz tube whenever the lamps are changed.

Turn off the unit, close the tap for the water supply (Fig. 3, No. 14) and unscrew the front nut (Fig. 3, No. 9).

The rear nut (Fig. 3, No. 10) remains untouched. Opening the rear nut will take you to the quartz tube. In this

case, it is imperative that no more water runs through the UV system as this would spurt out immediately. After

the lamp has cooled down, you can pull out the UV lamp. For this purpose, the housing must not be removed

from its holder if there is sufficient space to the side to take the quartz tube and UV lamp out. This should be

considered when installing the filter.

The quartz tube can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth. If there are calcium deposits on the tube, it can be

cleaned with vinegar or commercial decalcifiers. Afterwards, flush it with water thoroughly.

The electronic ballast (Fig. 3, No. 11) is maintenance-free. If the lamp stops working or does not start anymore

although a new lamp is mounted, the ballast has to be changed. This has to be done by a specialist.
