WINTERIZATION OF YOUR ULTRA UV UNIT

If you are in a climate where you run your pool, spa, water feature or pond year round, be sure that the flow to the unit continues during any periods of below freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will cause damage to the unit, which is not covered under the warranty.

Option #1 - Removing the unit for the winter:
Turn off the power to the unit. Disconnect the unions on the plumbing to ensure that the unit is completely drained. Now, with the power off, disconnect the unit from its power source and place the drained unit in a safe place that has a sustained temperature above freezing. Reinstall after the temperatures are considerably above freezing.

Option #2 - Leaving the unit in place for the winter:
Turn off the power to the unit. Disconnect the unions on the plumbing to ensure that the unit is completely drained. There is a cup in the bottom of your unit that the quartz tube nests in. This cup does not drain completely. To remove the water from this cup you must first remove the lamp array and quartz tube. Turn the unit on its side with the unions facing down until all of the water has drained. Another way to remove the water from the unit is to insert a wet dry vac into the unit and suck out the water from the cup in the bottom of the unit. Reconnect the unit, the quartz tube, lamps, and cover. You may store the lamps and quartz tube in a safe place.
