•Do not operate the UV-C emitter when it has been removed from

the device housing.

•An unintended use of the device or a damage to its enclosure may

lead to leakage of hazardous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation, even

in small doses, can be harmful to eyes and skin.

•When dismounting UV lamp or quartz tube, it is necessary to wear

protection gloves not to let fingerprints that could affect the UV

emissions quality

•The reactor must be disconnected from the electrical network for

maintenance purpose by qualified personal.

•Generally, any work on electrical parts must be carried out by

qualified and authorized personal.

•Even when stopped, power is present in the electrical unit so

make sure that the main power supply upstream of the electrical

cabinet isswitched off before carrying outany work on the equipment.

•Do not use the reactor if the power supply wire is worn or

damaged. In this case, it should be replaced by BIO-UV, its support

service or personal with a similar skill to avoid any hazard.

•To avoid electric short-circuits, do not place the electric wires or

the reactor in the pool water or in any other maintenance or

cleaning fluid.

E. REMINDERS AND TIPS

Given the environment and operation of a swimming pool, it is essential to remember the core rules of the different

parameters - water conditions, filtration and water balance - that help to achieve, regardless of the water treatment

used, a result in line with our expectations while reducing the contribution of different chemicals and avoiding

unpleasant and costly accidents.

Prevention = pleasure and economy

E.1. Pool water condition

Water must circulate completely in the entire pool. The number of jets, skimmers (or overflows) ensures this

circulation and minimises any "dead zones".

The pump power obviously should match the volume of water to be able to treat it completely in a reasonable time

(3 to 4 hours).

The piping section should also match the pool volume.

Poor water conditions = growth of bacteria and algae.

E.2. Filtration

Filtration is fundamental to water treatment.

Its role is to retain suspended solids and different particles in the filter mass.

Good filtration saves on disinfectant products.

E.3. A filter must be maintained

The filter must be cleaned and descaled yearly with a special product (e.g. BIO-UV FILTER CLEAN) that eliminates

limestone deposits and clogging material.

Perform a backwash weekly.

E.4. The filtration time must be respected

Basic rule: half of the water temperature.

If over 28 °: filter permanently.

Obviously, the capacity and size of the filter must match the pump flow, or it can even be oversized.

E.5. Floculation

For sand filtration, adding a clarifying agent or flocculant is required to increase the filtration efficiency.

CAUTION: Never flocculate when using a diatom filter

O CLEAR-Elite_(Anglais) - DOC016536 - Ind. A01 - 22/03/2021

E.6. Balanced water parameters

•The pH indicates the alkalinity or acidity of the water. Maintaining pH 7 (neutral pH) is generally desirable.

❖If the pH is less than 7: acidic water, aggressive to the skin and the pool liners.

❖If the pH is greater than 7.4: possible discomfort for swimmers (itchy eyes), growth of algae,

increased limestone deposits, inefficiency of flocculants...

•The TH indicates the water hardness and its calcium and magnesium content.

For a value over 20 °F, adding a limescale sequestrant is recommended once during the season (e.g. BIO-

UV ANTI-LIMESTONE).

Very hard water causes limescale and damages the piping.

Very soft water (acid) can be corrosive.

•The TAC indicates the water bicarbonate and carbonate content, i.e. its alkalinity. Its level must be 10 to 15

°F and it can be modified by using suitable products (TAC plus).

E.7. The various matter in water

•Algae: these plants can grow in pools and are transported by air in large quantities. To treat them,

disinfectant alone would be used primarily at the expense of its bactericidal action. Therefore, it is

recommended to use an algaecide or special algaecide in conjunction with REMANENTS.

•Organic matter: conveyed by bathers, nature and the environment and non-toxic, they must be retained

by filtration and the various treatment processes.

•Micro-organisms: bacteria, viruses and fungi are brought by the same vectors and can be harmful to

health. The role of the O’Clear sterilizer is to destroy them. Adding REMANENT ensures their persistence

in the pool and prevents their development between two passages through the O’Clear sterilizer.

•Metal ions: iron, copper, manganese, etc. can be found in large quantities in well water or after treatment

of cultures (sulfation). These ions can also damage the liner and discolour the water

We recommend avoiding using well water to fill swimming pools.

However, it is possible to sequester these ions with specific products.

•Phosphates and nitrates: they are present in highly variable quantities and promote the growth of algae.

They can reveal groundwater pollution.

Avoid well water.

F. INSTALLATION GUIDE

F.1. Foreword

BIO-UV reactors are ready to install, no works is required inside the reactor.

•The treatment capacity of the equipment must be appropriate for the volume of the pool to be treated,

the number of people using the pool, the presence of nearby equipment (overflow, reflecting pool,

slide, etc.) and the weather conditions where the equipment is installed.

•Use water from the mains water supply. Avoid water from natural sources (rain, run-off, lakes or

wells).

•Avoid any anti-algae including copper or other metals.

•Only use pH correction products recommended by your professional dealer. Do not use hydrochloric

acid or any other chemical product, as this may cause irreversible damage to the equipment.

•Check that the filtration pump and filter are in good condition and working correctly. Also check the

flow rate of the filtration pump, the capacity of the filter, and the outer diameter of pipework (either

50 or 63 mm).

•The equipment must be installed in a closed, dry and sufficiently ventilated room which is protected

from water sprays and UV rays. The temperature inside this room must not exceed 40°C.

→If these premises are located in a country with a hot and humid climate, they must be air

conditioned.

→If these premises are located in a country with a temperate climate, they must be equipped

with forced ventilation.

•Determine where exactly each component will be positioned, taking into account its size and the

length of its power cables. Also anticipate extra space around the equipment, in order to facilitate

access for maintenance.

•The pH corrector container must be installed a safe distance away from any electrical device or any

other chemicals. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to abnormal oxidation of the metal

parts, possibly resulting in complete device failure.

•Be very careful to ensure that the various components are correctly positioned in relation to each

other, as indicated in the installation diagram.

Saddles or the accessories holder must be positioned after any other treatment, cleaning or

heating device (just before flow out into the pool). They must be installed on the level (not inclined),

so that the pH probe and the injection connector are vertical.

If constraints related to the filtration circuit call for a different installation from that described in the

installation diagram, have this installation validated by a professional.

•The water pressure in the saddles or the accessories holder (depending on the equipment) must not

exceed 3 bar. All hydraulic components installed must be able to tolerate water pressures likely to

be encountered as part of normal use. There should be no leakage from any part, including pipework.
