Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical outlet. If you do not have a G.F.C.I., have an electrician

install one prior to operating any aquarium components.

Read and follow all precautions, safeguards and instructions.

• Use this product for its intended use only.

• Never yank or pull the cord from the electrical outlet.

• Do not operate if the plug or wire is damaged.

• Do not operate without water.

• The ultraviolet sterilizer must be turned off prior to shutting off the water to the ultraviolet

sterilizer.

• Verify that hands are dry prior to disconnected the power.

• To reduce the risk of electrocution keep all connections dry.

• If the product is to fall into the water, unplug the unit first then retrieve the unit from the

water. If any of the electrical components get wet unplug immediately.

FEATURES

• Quartz PL UV bulb

• Quartz Sleeve

• Built in Water resistant ballast

• For use indoors or outdoors

• For use in salt and freshwater environment

The ViaAqua®Terminator™ UV Sterilizer features a quartz glass PL bulb. The sterilizer

uses a quartz sleeve that will maintain the bulb temperature thus allowing 95% of the

UV radiation to sterilize the water, producing more UV radiation than comparable UV

units. The internal burning chamber is design for maximum contact time. As the water is

redirected by the baffles in the internal burning chamber a vortex will occur. The increased

contact time exposes virtually all organic, single celled algae and eradicates most harmful

microorganisms to maximum UV radiation exposure.

This product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to

cause cancer and or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash

your hand after handling this product.

It is your sole responsibilities to verify that the plug and the receptacle

are clean and free of moisture and salt build up at all times. The

receptacle must be free of water, salt, calcium, magnesium and dust.

Failure to do so can cause fire, damage to property, permanent damage

to the product and personal injury not limited to loss of life.

Do not plug into extension cord/power strip.

A drip loop must be used when plugging all electrical aquarium devices.

A drip loop is that part of the cord hanging below the receptacle.

The national code requires that a GFCI (Ground fault circuit interrupter)

be used in the branch circuit supplying all power to water pumps and

electrical aquarium equipment. If you do not have a GFCI, have an electrician install one

prior to operating any aquarium component.

Additional Safety Precautions & Warnings:

Age Recommendation: 18 years or over. Not a toy. Not intended for use by children without

direct adult supervision. As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating

it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product

or the property of others.

Important: You must verify that the receptacle is clean and free of moisture at all

times. The receptacle must be free of water, salt, and calcium. Failure to do so will

cause permanent damage to the UV or start a fire.

The national code requires that a GFCI be utilized in the branch circuit which

supplies electrical power to the aquarium pump and all other electrical aquarium

devices.

INSTALLATION

Installation of the UV Sterilizer

Note: Every unit is equipped with a safety switch and the light bulb will not light un-

less the cap and ballast is installed properly

1. Follow all safeguards and warning.

2. Since the ultraviolet light does not come with a pump, a water supply needs to be

installed. To do this a powerhead, external water pump or a canister filter can be used.

The pump supplying water to the ultraviolet sterilizer must be pre-filtered. Pre-filtering the

water will limit build-up on the quartz sleeve thus allowing maximum UV penetration.

3. Use the chart provided for optimum performance. Note: Slow water flow (GPH) will

increase the duration the water will be in contact with ultraviolet radiation. The only

variable which increases contact time is the speed of water flow (GPH) not the way water

is channeled in the reaction chamber.

4. Find a place for the ultraviolet chamber where as it cannot come in contact with water

and when the tubing is installed there will not be any kinks in the tubing.

5. Installation for inline applications: Model number 9w, 13w, 18w and 36w:

a. Place the UV in an area where as it will not come in contact with water or in direct

contact with elements, such as rain, direct sunlight, or flooding.

b.Secure using the mounting brackets provided.

c. Now install the barbed tubing fittings.

6. Verify that the o-ring inside the barbed fitting is clean and free of all debris. The use of

silicone o-ring lubricant aids in creating a good seal.

7. Place the barbed tubing fitting onto the threaded opening on the ultraviolet chamber.

Now slide the threaded nut over the barbed tubing fitting and tighten. Hands tighten only.

Repeat step 2 for the discharge. Do not reduce the discharge tubing. The discharge

tubing must be at least as large as the intake tubing.

Note: When using larger tubing it may be necessary to saw off the smaller adapters.

a. Secure the flexible tubing with hose clamps.

b.Turn on water supply.

c. Plug the ultraviolet sterilizer into a GFCI electrical outlet only.

Installation of UV PL Bulb

1. Follow all safeguards and warnings.

2. Unscrew the threaded PL bulb cap and ballast on the end of the ultraviolet sterilizer.

Once unscrewed the inside of the cap will reveal the PL light bulb socket.

3. Remove the PL ultraviolet bulb from the box. Important: Do not touch the quartz part of

the bulb. If needed use a clean cloth to handle the bulb.

4. Align the pins with the holes in the bulb socket. Press the bulb directly into the holes in

the bulb socket. Avoid all angles; failure to do so may cause permanent damage to the

bulb and/or the bulb socket.

5. Screw cap back onto the UV sterilizer.

MAINTENANCE

Before doing any maintenance on the ultraviolet sterilizer, the power supply and water

supply must be disconnected. Only in rare situations does the quartz sleeve ever have to

be removed. If necessary use a coin or a large flat head screw driver to gently and carefully

remove the quartz sleeve. If excess force is used the quartz sleeve will break. After removed

use a soft clean cloth to gently remove any excess grim and/or debris. Reassemble using

a small amount of silicone o-ring lubricant placed on the o-ring prior to sliding into the main

body of the ultraviolet sterilizer.

The PL ultraviolet bulb needs to be replaced every 8,000-9,000 hours. This will insure

optimum performance.

1. Follow all safeguards and warnings

2. Unscrew the threaded PL bulb cap on the end of the ultraviolet sterilizer. Once

unscrewed the inside of the cap will reveal the PL light bulb socket.

3. Remove the PL UV bulb from the box. Important: Do not touch the quartz part of the

bulb. If needed use a clean cloth to handle the bulb.

4. Align the pins with the holes in the bulb socket. Press the bulb directly into the holes in

the bulb socket. Avoid all angles; failure to do so may cause permanent damage to the

bulb and/or the bulb socket.

5. Screw cap back onto the UV sterilizer.

6. Replacement quartz sleeves and quartz bulbs are available at your independent dealer.

Note: The efficiency of the Terminator UV Sterilizer depends on the duration the

UV light is contact with the water. Thus the rate of water flow not the way the water

travels will relate to the efficiency of the UV sterilizer.
