Frequently Asked Questions - UVC Fluval

How do I install the Fluval UVC?

To install the Fluval UVC, place the water filter in an accessible location, connect the inlet hose to the tank and the outlet hose to your filtration system. Make sure the electrical circuit is properly connected before turning it on.

Why won\u0027t my Fluval UVC turn on?

Check if the device is properly plugged in and if the outlet is working. Also ensure the fuse is not blown and the power switch is in the "on" position.

How often should I change the UVC lamp?

It is recommended to replace the UVC lamp every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and the water quality of your aquarium.

How do I clean the Fluval UVC?

Unplug the device before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. For the interior, remove the lamp and gently clean with a non-abrasive product. Do not immerse the device in water.

Why is my aquarium water still cloudy despite using the Fluval UVC?

If the water remains cloudy, check that the filter is working properly and that the UVC lamp is in good condition. It may also be helpful to check pollution levels in the water and perform a cleaning or partial water change.

Is the Fluval UVC suitable for all types of aquariums?

The Fluval UVC is designed for use with most freshwater and saltwater aquariums, but it is important to check your aquarium\u0027s specifications to ensure compatibility.

What should I do if the Fluval UVC emits a strange odor?

If you detect a strange odor, immediately unplug the device and check for leaks or damaged parts. Clean it and let it dry completely before plugging it back in.

What is the optimal flow rate for the Fluval UVC?

The optimal flow rate depends on the size of your aquarium. Generally, a flow rate of 5 to 10 times the aquarium volume per hour is recommended for effective filtration.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING YOUR FILTER (EXISTING SETUP)

1. Ensure your canister filter is unplugged.
2. Ensure your canister and its hoses are empty of water and the hoses are removed from the aquarium before beginning UVC unit installation.

UVC INSTALLATION

The UVC unit is compatible with Fluval 06 and 07 series canister filters, in addition to those with output hose inner diameter of 5/8'' (16 mm) and an outer hose diameter of 1/8'' (19 mm).

1. Insert ribbed hosing supplied with your UVC unit into the output nozzle of your canister filter and tighten nut.
2. Connect other end of UVC supplied hosing into one side of UVC unit and tighten nut.

NOTE: The UVC unit is multidirectional and will operate in either direction.

1. Connect filter output hosing to the opposite (unused) UVC nozzle and tighten nut.
2. To ensure maximum flow, DO NOT install UVC unit above the aquarium water line. To make sure the output hose reaches the aquarium with no kinks or loops, trial mount the UVC unit and hose before making any final cuts or holes. NOTE: The UVC unit is supplied with (2) mounting screws for easy installation.
3. Attach filter output and intake assembly to aquarium (Refer to filter manual for proper installation).
4. Prime your canister filter.
5. Plug in your canister filter to electrical outlet and ensure that water is flowing in and out of the canister filter.
6. Plug in the UVC unit to electrical outlet.

To install, connect timer power supply to timer, and then the timer to the base of UVC unit as shown in the image.

To run UVC unit continuously:

Press the timer Power button. The Operating Status light should illuminate in Green to indicate normal functionality.

To run the UVC unit intermittently:

After turning the timer power on, continue pressing the Stopwatch button to cycle through the various operating time periods: 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours. A Blue light will appear next to the operating time currently engaged.

Operating Status Light:

This indicates the life cycle of the UVC bulb/unit. A Green light represents proper UVC bulb functionality. A Red light designates the bulb has expired, requiring complete UVC unit replacement.

Power Interruption:

If the timer is unplugged or endures a power failure, the UVC unit will revert to the same operating time that was initially selected once it is reconnected to a power source. For example, if the timer was set to operate for 4 hours within a 24-hour period, it will continue to operate for 4 hours from the moment power is re-established. As the timer does not keep track of the time of day, if you want the UVC unit to continue running for 4 hours as of 8 am, for example, the unit should be connected to a power source at 8 am. To switch from a specific timer period to continuous 24-hour operation, press the Power button off and then on again. This will re-establish the UVC unit to run full time.

REPLACING THE BULB

CAUTION: This appliance must be unplugged when not in use and prior to the changing of any parts. Never yank the cord from the outlet.

1. Ensure the canister filter is unplugged.
2. Ensure the UVC unit is unplugged.
3. Remove power cord from unit.
4. Slide open the door to access bulb.

5. Gently release the bulb connector

6. Remove the bulb from its holder.

7. Insert the new bulb into place.
8. Reconnect the bulb connector.

9. Slide the door closed until it clicks
   into place.

10. Plug in the power cord into unit.

11. Plug in the filter and the UVC unit into the electrical outlets.
