SMART
UV Sterilizer Installation
SMART
UV sterilizers require no additional hardware
for wet applications. Regardless of the application,
solid waste should be removed from the water before
it enters the UV sterilizer. Proper installation
improves performance, longevity and safety. Install
our SMART UV sterilizers where they can be easily
serviced. Do not operate the UV lamp with a new
installation containing fish until the water has
been tested, showing that the nitrification cycle
has been completed and biologically balanced.
Note:
See UV Specifications Charts for Inlet/Outlet
Information.
SMART
UV Installation Locations
Our SMART UVs are used in a variety applications
to control waterborne pathogens; we encourage
you to consider the installation/operation recommendations
provided here.
Solid
Waste Removal - Operating the SMART UV
after the mechanical filter increases its overall
performance. Suspended solid waste will absorb
UV light and reduce the UV transmittance through
water.
EA
Recommended Water Flow Rates - When operating
EA SMART UV sterilizers we encourage you to use
our recommended water flow rates. Most competing
UV's are supplied with exaggerated flow rate information
that greatly jeopardizes their performance. Any
deviation from our recommendations will void our
Green to Clear in 3-5 days Guarantee. |

Small
Ponds (up to 1,000 Gallons) using a Dedicated Submersible
Pump
For small ponds, or for applications where the SMART
UV is operated independently from other filters,
this installation configuration is ideal. Matching
the pump to the SMART UV's recommended flow rate
is critical to the UV's performance. Installing
an adequate mechanical pre-filter on the pump suction
ensures that solids-free water will be sent to the
SMART UV. |

Small
to Moderately Sized Ponds (up to 5,000 Gallons)
using Skimmer and Falls
This is a very popular filter system style. Placing
the UV between the skimmer box and the bio-falls
filter ensures that pre-filtered water reaches the
UV, increasing its performance while reducing maintenance.
Often the capacity of the pump exceeds the capacity
of the UV, if this is the case, install a by-pass
manifold. Be sure that the skimmer is equipped with
mechanical (solid waste removal) filtering capacity. |

Larger
Sized Ponds (above 5,000 Gallons) Surface Skimmer
/ Pressurized Filter
This is a very popular filter system style. Placing
the UV between the skimmer box and the bio-falls
filter ensures that pre-filtered water reaches
the UV, increasing its performance while reducing
maintenance. Often the capacity of the pump exceeds
the capacity of the UV, if this is the case, install
a by-pass manifold. Be sure that the skimmer is
equipped with mechanical (solid waste removal)
filtering capacity.
The SMART UV is positioned after the mechanical
filter where it can receive only solid waste free
water, optimizing UV transmittance/performance.
Notice the 3-way valve that regulates suction
from the skimmer and drain to the pump, allowing
flow control. Next, multiple "clean water
returns improve circulation in the pool suspending
solid waste, helping it to find the filter. If
you have a flow rate that exceeds the UV’s,
install a by-pass manifold. (see diagram #2) |
