How do I install UV Clear Ultra Violet Pool/Spa Sanitizer?

Fast and Easy Installation

Install UV Clear® on the return line after the water has passed through your filter and before water enters a pool heater and any chemical feeders and/or generator in a vertical position.

To control the flow of pool water entering UV Clear® install the unit in a closed loop by-pass. A 3-way valve can regulate how much water goes through the UV chamber. For example, after the water is filtered the valve can split the flow to allow most of the water to flow through the UV chamber and the remainder of the water to be treated by a chlorine feeder or generator. Just run the pump for as long as it takes to turn the water over at least once every day.

Your UV Clear® System for residential swimming pool applications has 2” union fittings. If your PVC pipe is 1½”, you will need a bushing, which will reduce the opening to accommodate your existing plumbing.

For 120 volt models a molded plug is standard. You have the option to plug into an existing GFCI [Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter] receptacle for continuous operation or connect the wiring to the pump’s automatic timer. Consult a qualified electrician that services pool, hot tubs or spas for installing a GFCI and for connecting to an automatic pump timer.

240 Volt models have terminal ends. If you are not familiar with or confused about electrical connections always consult a qualified electrician that services swimming pools.

For larger pools that hold over 50,000 gallons, multiple units can be installed in series or parallel to each other

 Customizing A System For Your Pool
In cases where the pool does not match or exceeds the recommended maximum gallons, multiple units can be installed in series. Any 2 units can be fitted together as long as they are the same voltage. For example, Two 15,000 units can treat up to a 30,000 gallon pool or combine a 15,000 with a 25,000 to treat a 40,000 gallon pool. To connect multiple units in series, use a 2.25 inch length of PVC pipe.
